WEEKLY REVIEW BY PHASES OF THE MOON
2 August: Full Moon in Aquarius
A lot depends on your perspective this week. You will question whether your life is fulfilling. What would give you true happiness and peace? You have to deal with both non-materialistic and material issues and this is a time to make tough choices. A toss-up between family and work could cause fights and unpleasant situations at home. You may have to remain absent from a family function because of work issues and this could cause fissures in your domestic set-up and relationships if not handled with maturity. You may also explore new investment opportunities. Ganesha advises you to keep your mind alert and calm to prevent unnecessary losses. There could be a conflict between the higher self and your shadow self. This could be a period of great learning if you take the right approach.
11 August: Moon’s Last Quarter in Taurus
“You have been wavering between material and spiritual pursuits for the last couple of weeks but this ends now, as circumstances compel you to give your full attention to more earthly issues. Your down-to-earth, pragmatic nature comes in handy in your dealings with realty, rentals, leases, insurance and taxation matters. Spending time with an elderly parent/relative, their health issues or visits to hospitals could put a drain on your resources. You don’t begrudge it but you now put in renewed efforts into your work (maybe you will even have to moonlight) or business to make up for the unexpected expenses. One way you could generate additional income is through monetizing your hobbies. You could find yourself giving interviews, travelling for this purpose, communicating with influential people, and even being headhunted. This is a period for hard, sustained work and you don’t shy away from it.”
19 August: New Moon in Leo
“This week it is all about you, and only you. Funds, friends, family, food, fashion — yes, the total mix of things that give you utmost pleasure — will become more important. You have a deep organic relationship with food; savouring exquisite delicacies and even cooking gives you considerable pleasure. Wining and dining with loved ones/family/friends takes your time. There will be makeovers too which could include your home/garden/neighbourhood; the permutations and combinations are unlimited and you do all this very stylishly and gracefully. All this would require a lot of expenditure but you have made the necessary arrangements. You radiate an aura of success this week and nothing can block your progress, says Ganesha.”
25 August: Moon’s First Quarter in Sagittarius
“This week sees the birth of a trend that could carry on at least till the beginning of October. A stable family life is very important for Taureans and any kind of upheaval stresses you. The love and devotion of your spouse and children (the unattached may want to propose at this time so this phase could see a lot of engagements and weddings) motivate you to devote your stupendous energies to wealth generation. Yes, Taureans are capable of building huge, even gargantuan financial empires with extremely durable roots. You put in the requisite efforts, cheerfully and unhesitatingly, to build a strong and secure future for your loved ones. Work will be hectic and will require you to be super-efficient and organized. Success is yours for the asking, assures Ganesha.”
