Overview for this Month: Gemini (All)
August 2013
August is bound to be a fast-paced month for you, dear Gemini. You are especially active, communicative, and thoroughly ready to take action on ideas that have been whirling in your head. In the last week of the month, more personal responsibilities and desires are highlighted, but until then, you are generally sociable and on the go. The 4-6 can bring pleasant surprises, communications, and inspiration from friends. New interests can figure strongly, and school or learning endeavors are highlighted. It’s a great month for making friends through institutes of learning. Progressive outside-of-the-box thinking is important now, as it opens up more opportunities. From the 16th, Venus’ presence in your romance and play sector can bring a light-hearted, positive energy to your love life. Personal appeal increases. Much focus on dealing with the mundane details of life can have you itching for adventure or simply a change around the Full Moon on the 20th. This month, if you’ve been overconfident with money and resources, there may be some consequences to face. As much as possible, avoid taking foolish risks, particularly involving borrowing from your future through incurring excessive debt, procrastination, or through waste and neglect of important responsibilities. A conflict over someone else’s resources or money can come to a head this month. If you are accumulating personal possessions too quickly, this can lead to clutter and disorganization. Both borrowing and lending can lead to problems or disputes. On the 25-26, your dreams and visions may be put to the test and you are called upon to back them up with hard facts. After this hurdle, you’re likely to thoroughly enjoy connections with family and personal time for yourself after a sometimes hectic but productive month.

Gemini (Born May 22 to 31) and Gemini Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Gemini:
August 2013 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2013
Overview.
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 23rd: The Sun continues to highlight your solar third house–a time of the year in which you are most likely to be a “busy bee”. Communications, short trips, errand-running, and general busy-ness feature now. You could have a finger in many pies, so to speak, as your curiosity is piqued by a larger variety of things than usual. Used well, this could be a period in which you come up with solutions to a number of problems. You are more inclined to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and/or your ability to socialize and make connections.
From August 23rd forward:With the Sun spotlighting your house of family and home, these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front. Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship to your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself, so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing your inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself–to fill your well, so to speak.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until August 16th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house now. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be especially harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with better quality items or more attention to aesthetics. An inner sense of peace and security tends to dominate now, or the desire for peace motivates you now. Your affections are strong but you don’t wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.
From August 16th forward:
Venus warms your solar fifth house. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It’s natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn’t be a problem–in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until August 8th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar second house. You might play with various ways to increase personal funds, resulting in more than one avenue for monetary gain. Avoid letting undue pressure from others push you into signing important papers that may create a serious financial commitment. Shopping when experiencing nervous tension should also be avoided. Your mind is always active with new ideas for an increase of income during this cycle. Brothers or sisters, or communications, may be a source of financial or material gain or loss now.
From August 8-24:
Mercury is right at home in the third house, and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words, and the ability to multi-task successfully. More time spent on the phone, writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to fuss over insignificant matters now, however. Also, “information overload” is also a possibility. This may be a busy time with neighbors, classmates, siblings, and community affairs. Your interests are especially varied now, and perhaps scattered. It’s an ideal time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it, as your tendency is toward a certain level of intellectual detachment just now. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when circumstances call for you to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, and the like. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress.
From August 24th forward:
Mercury moves through your solar fourth house. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it’s a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now. Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until August 27th:
Mars continues to energize your solar second house. You tend to put more effort into making money or making your life more comfortable and secure during this cycle. Your strong desire to be financially independent could lead to positive things, such as paying off debts or increased enterprise. The opposite side of the coin is asserting your independence by making impulsive purchases or taking risks with your money. You are more protective of the way you earn or spend money, as well as with the values you live your life by, and if others question you about these things, there could be arguments.
From August 27th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar third house now. You are likely to have many ideas and plans going during this transit, and you might be inclined to scatter your energies as a result. Channelled well, however, this is a good time to sell your ideas to others, or to present your case in some manner. You may be especially busy running errands and communicating with others now. More articulate than usual, you may also have a more assertive, self-centered, or provocative communication style at this time. As such, discussions might more readily become heated or they might escalate into arguments. If this is the case, it’s likely because you are taking things very personally right now, or because you are over-identifying with your beliefs and ideas. A tendency to be impatient or impulsive while driving or while performing manual tasks, generally with the hands, may lead to accidents, so it’s wise to be careful on the road or while operating machinery or even using scissors! This is an excellent time for working on intellectual tasks with more vigor and passion.
Overview Horoscope:
August is bound to be a fast-paced month for you, dear Gemini. You are especially active, communicative, and thoroughly ready to take action on ideas that have been whirling in your head. In the last week of the month, more personal responsibilities and desires are highlighted, but until then, you are generally sociable and on the go. The 4-6 can bring pleasant surprises, communications, and inspiration from friends. New interests can figure strongly, and school or learning endeavors are highlighted. It’s a great month for making friends through institutes of learning. Progressive outside-of-the-box thinking is important now, as it opens up more opportunities. From the 16th, Venus’ presence in your romance and play sector can bring a light-hearted, positive energy to your love life. Personal appeal increases. Much focus on dealing with the mundane details of life can have you itching for adventure or simply a change around the Full Moon on the 20th. This month, if you’ve been overconfident with money and resources, there may be some consequences to face. As much as possible, avoid taking foolish risks, particularly involving borrowing from your future through incurring excessive debt, procrastination, or through waste and neglect of important responsibilities. A conflict over someone else’s resources or money can come to a head this month. If you are accumulating personal possessions too quickly, this can lead to clutter and disorganization. Both borrowing and lending can lead to problems or disputes. On the 25-26, your dreams and visions may be put to the test and you are called upon to back them up with hard facts.

Gemini (Born June 1 to 11) and Gemini Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Gemini:
August 2013 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2013
Overview.
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month: The Sun is illuminating your communications sector now, suggesting “busy-ness” and movement. You are exploring and searching now, making connections, and paying attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is emphasized during this period, and is for the most part light-hearted. Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in understanding and adapting to your immediate environment. Siblings, neighbors, close relatives, friends, and co-workers may play a more important role than usual in your life during this cycle. You are more interested in exploring your own neighborhood than you are a different country. This is not a time of big adventure-seeking. Rather, it’s a time of little adventures close to home. Neither is this a time when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now. You are especially resourceful now, and you could find yourself enjoying (or seeking) attention for your intellectual know-how. The ability to express and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time. You are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until August 25th:
Venus warms your solar fourth house now. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic now. You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere. Loyalty and sensitivity in your relationships are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence–a time when simple pleasures most appeal.

Gemini (Born June 12 to 21)
AND Gemini Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Gemini:
August 2013 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2013
Overview.
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 12th:
The Sun continues to transit your solar second house. This is the most “financial” period of the year for you. You might have a more materialistic view of life for the time being, or you have an increased interest in your own possessions, during this cycle. You are more attracted to objects and possessions that give you a sense of comfort, status, or luxury now. You probably should be on the lookout for a tendency to create your own financial stress due to extravagant spending habits. At this point in the year, you are unlikely to take many risks, however, and you can be quite resistant to change. This is a time when “comfort zones” are more important to you than usual–you value the familiar.
From August 12th forward:The Sun is illuminating your communications sector now, suggesting “busy-ness” and movement. You are exploring and searching now, making connections, and paying attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is emphasized during this period, and is for the most part light-hearted. Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in understanding and adapting to your immediate environment.

The ability to express and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time. You are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until August 8th:
Venus plays in your solar third house now, indicating a more light-hearted, curious, and intellectual approach to love and pleasure, as well as a more easygoing communicative style. During this cycle you are especially charming in your communications with others. Your words are soothing, and you tend to use words to smooth over problems that you see around you. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual. Essentially, you are quite companionable during this cycle. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you see value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. Good companionship is as equally important as romance to you during this cycle. You prefer an intellectual, communicative, and witty partner just now, and your powers of attraction are increased through expressing these types of qualities. You are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport, and you are especially good at mediating conflicts now. If you were to begin a romance or friendship during this cycle, it would likely be quite light-hearted.
From August 8th:
Venus warms your solar fourth house now. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic now. You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere. Loyalty and sensitivity in your relationships are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence–a time when simple pleasures most appeal.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
From August 1-19:
Mercury continues to transit your solar second house. You might play with various ways to increase personal funds, resulting in more than one avenue for monetary gain. Avoid letting undue pressure from others push you into signing important papers that may create a serious financial commitment. Shopping when experiencing nervous tension should also be avoided. Your mind is always active with new ideas for an increase of income during this cycle. Brothers or sisters, or communications, may be a source of financial or material gain or loss now.
From August 19th forward:
Mercury is right at home in the third house, and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words, and the ability to multi-task successfully. More time spent on the phone, writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to fuss over insignificant matters now, however. Also, “information overload” is also a possibility.

Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, and the like. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until August 12th:
Mars continues to activate your solar first house, supplying you with added energy to apply towards personal goals, and a more assertive and direct approach to the world in general. This is an excellent period for physical training and exercise of any kind. The desire to be self-sufficient and independent is especially strong now. You are far less tolerant of being restricted by or dependent on others, and this is a good time to identify your personal strengths and to take positive action to rectify situations that may have previously felt frustrating or repressive. You might be especially attracted to personal challenges, and seeing just how far you can push. However, be careful not to push yourself (and others) too far.
From August 12th:
Mars energizes your solar second house. You have more energy at your disposal to make money, but also to defend your values. This can be a very resourceful time, when you make the most of what you have. You have much energy for new money-making projects, or for stepping up existing ones. You may be over-identifying with what you have and own, and you could be trying to prove yourself (your worth) to others using money and possessions as the means to do so. If conflicts occur during this transit, they are likely to be over issues of ownership. This is a time when impulse buying is at a peak. You probably should avoid using credit right now, simply because your spending habits may be excessive and impulsive.
Overview Horoscope:
August is bound to be a fast-paced month for you, dear Gemini. You are especially active, communicative, and thoroughly ready to take action on ideas that have been whirling in your head. In the last week of the month, more personal responsibilities and desires are highlighted, but until then, you are generally sociable and on the go. The 4-6 can bring pleasant surprises, communications, and inspiration from friends. New interests can figure strongly, and school or learning endeavors are highlighted. It’s a great month for making friends through institutes of learning. Progressive outside-of-the-box thinking is important now, as it opens up more opportunities. From the 16th, Venus’ presence in your romance and play sector can bring a light-hearted, positive energy to your love life. Personal appeal increases. Much focus on dealing with the mundane details of life can have you itching for adventure or simply a change around the Full Moon on the 20th. This month, if you’ve been overconfident with money and resources, there may be some consequences to face. As much as possible, avoid taking foolish risks, particularly involving borrowing from your future through incurring excessive debt, procrastination, or through waste and neglect of important responsibilities. A conflict over someone else’s resources or money can come to a head this month. If you are accumulating personal possessions too quickly, this can lead to clutter and disorganization. Both borrowing and lending can lead to problems or disputes. On the 25-26, your dreams and visions may be put to the test and you are called upon to back them up with hard facts. After this hurdle, you’re likely to thoroughly enjoy connections with family and personal time for yourself after a sometimes hectic but productive month.
