Last July 2014, Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, entered your second house of income and has been rewarding you financially ever since. At some point during those intervening months, you likely saw a strong influx of cash to your bank account, making the past year one of your most prosperous that you've ever experienced. It may have been tempting to assume you are now on easy street and that money will always flow in to you at a rapid rate. Not exactly, but I am happy you did well, dear Cancer. I would say that about ninety percent of my readers did well.
If you say, "Wait, I did not do well financially over the past year, July 2014 to August 2015! Why was I left out?" There are a few reasons, but the biggest is that you may have something in your chart causing a glitch that I cannot see from where I sit. Every chart is completely unique and special, for your chart will never be duplicated in time, space, or geography, even if you are a twin. If you didn't do well, or even if you did, you will get a second chance this month to see your coffers fill impressively with gold coins.
While it is true that Jupiter will leave your financial sector on August 11, not to return to this part of your chart until the year 2026, you do have solid reason for hope. In a last minute show of support, many happy planets are rushing in to give you lots of opportunity to make money this month. You'll have to stay on your toes and be motivated, for the window of opportunity is small but bright, so give the dates I will spell out for you all that you have to give.
Your most important date for you to watch will be the moon, August 14, in Leo 22 degrees. That new moon will open a door of financial opportunity that will last two weeks. The moves you make during that time will have the power to affect you positively for the year to come. There will be no other new moons in this part of your chart again for twelve months, the reason you will need to jump on this date, for it has the power to be highly effective for making money. Ask for a raise, or look for a new position, or if you are in sales, get on the phone and make appointments and presentations. If you are self-employed, you can now find ways to bring in one or more lucrative new clients.
This new moon will be helpful to you because it will be in perfect angle to Uranus, the planet of surprise. You may be assuming as you reads this that you won't be able to find any way to make more money those two weeks, but think again - you can! That same new moon will come arm-in-arm with Venus, another good sign you can get more if you want more! You must show the universe your intent by taking action, for if you don't, it is unlikely that a mystery man will show up at your door unannounced with a suitcase full of money for you!
As you enter August, you will still be feeling the influence of the July 31 full moon in Aquarius, 8 degrees, that appeared in your financial eighth house. A source of income may be ending now, or you may be paid money that has been owed to you for some time. You may be wrapped up in matters of insurance or inheritance. If you've been in a court case, it will end sometime soon now. The first four days of August will be the right time to meet with your financial advisor to see how your retirement or investment portfolio is performing and to make adjustments if necessary. Saturn was friendly to that full moon of July 31, so decisions you may make in the four days surrounding that full moon will be permanent, and it seems, stabilizing.
You will have other days I want you to circle on your calendar, also special for making money. While the new moon of August 14 will set up an entire portal for making more cash and a full moon will always bring an ending, the dates I will give you now will be one of a kind, four-star days that will allow you to make a financial breakthrough on that day, or on the day that proceeds it.
The first day is a sparkling day, August 2, when Mercury and Uranus will be in perfect sync. This will be a Sunday, but you may feel it in days leading up to it, or on Monday too. Mercury is in your second house of earned income, and Uranus is in your tenth house of prestigious career status, and together these two planets are like striking a match - it will be full of power and light. It's a classic aspect for generating strong ideas, so your mind will move on all cylinders and come up with excellent solutions to projects. Money and status will work together on this day - you may get news that you are about to get a salary raise on this day, due to your increasing influence and respect from others in your field. This news will come just after the full moon of July 31, so apparently something, such as a job, is ending, but a new chapter is opening up for you too now.
