Weekly Astrological Report by Roberto

August 12 - 19 , 1999

THURSDAY morning the Moon and Venus are conjunct in Leo; you can expect harmony and love to be in the air, especially as Jupiter is still in a close trine to them from 11 Aries. This provides quite an extra boost to an already bold and romantic combination.

On SATURDAY the 14th, Mercury is opposite Neptune. Be on the alert for some deception today, all may not be as it seems. Look at the bigger picture. There is always a bigger picture, yes? If you dont catch an error it coud be more expensive to fix it later.

On SUNDAY the 15th Venus (still retrograde) enters 10 days of being combust (close to the Sun). This adds extra heat to Venus related affairs and, and you may find surprising intensity appearing in your love life or in your quest for knowledge or wealth.

Remember your personal resources may have a limit, dont burn the candle at both ends. Mars will soon (on the 23rd, enter its own sign Scorpio, ending this overlong period where Mars and Saturn have been in opposition. Hopefully you have got some stressful conflicts resolved by now and you can begin to move forward onto your new projects with a refreshing sense of energetic integration.

Even as a mirror covered with dust shines brightly when cleaned, so the embodied soul, seeing the truth of Atman, realizes oneness, attains the goal of life, and becomes free of sorrow.
Maitreya Upanishad 6:34
