Summary for Cancer

If you work in a creative or high tech field, you will be poised to make a substantial commission or other one-time chunk of cash from an idea that you generated, represented, or sold. The tip that brings you this lucrative situation will come from a confidant who will need to remain anonymous. If you don't work in a creative field, then Neptune's position in a key financial sector might suggest someone is trying to hide a few pertinent facts that you need to flesh out. This might be true if you have a court case or are trying to divide property in a divorce, for example. Avoid problems on any new deal by asking pointed questions and doing careful research, including background checks. Not all deals are worthy of your acceptance - make sure this one is, or walk away. You will also have a sensational chance to get a raise in your paycheck as a result of the new moon, August 20. In the two weeks that follow it, be ready to speak up for a raise or to negotiate for a better salary in a new job. Cancer Dates to Note:  Financially, the eclipse of August 5 may bring news of a chunk of money that has your name on it. Your career may bring happy news August 13. With Venus in Cancer until August 27, you'll charm the birds from the trees - easily. It's the right time to improve your appearance and shop for new fall things. Mars will enter Cancer August 25 - time your biggest initiatives for anytime AFTER this date. If you want a raise or need to discuss payment for services rendered, do so once the new moon arrives August 20. Keep talks private. As they say, "Loose lips sink ships" - this could turn out to be a vivid lesson August 21. Take a trip with your partner over the weekend of August 22-23 for a powerful rejuvenating effect on your relationship. Avoid locking horns with a partner or initiating a power struggle on August 26. Romance will be best August 7- 8, 12-13, 16-17, 22-23 (these two rate four gold stars). Also, add August 24-25 and 29-30 (last two dates, special for attached Cancers).

Summary for Capricorn

You may have to give up one source of income after the full moon lunar eclipse arrives on August 5, but it looks like a new and better one will soon replace it. With Jupiter prominent, you are destined to go up, up, up in the world. You may have planned for a job switch, but if not, it all seems to work in your favor. Indeed, you may say afterward that your old company did you a favor by not valuing your talents more because your new income will be substantially more lucrative than your former one. Certain industries will glow more brightly for you than others. Your best potential will center on creative and artistic projects, and in digital media. That would include, but not be limited to, digital games, telecommunications, software and hardware development, and other types of high tech. Add, too, biology, space exploration, and the other sciences. Aquarius, where the emphasis will be centered, also highlights social work and humanitarian and community outreach programs, and those will shine for you, too. With Mars so helpful, you should have no problems generating lots of leads and a final, exciting offer. Of course, it is possible you will stay in your present firm, but if you do, you should ask for a raise just after the eclipse arrives August 5. Money matters may even affect your closest relationship, especially near this same time, August 5, the lunar eclipse. While you seem to be the big moneymaker in the relationship, this could suggest that your partner will feel deficient in comparison. If you sense this could be true, be sensitive to your partner's feelings and go out of your way not to make money a method of control. If on the other hand, your partner has been behaving badly, well, then, you will have to take hold of the checkbook and let the chips fall where they may. In business or in love, it does seem likely that discussions about money will come up at least once this month, and you will know how to handle things when they do. If you broke up in July, the coming months will be strong and sexy. No, you will not be alone - not unless you want to! If nothing happened on July 7 or 21, sometimes an eclipse will deliver its news one month to the day later, bringing us to August 7 and 21, so watch those days. Watch September 17 and October 14-15 for news too, for on those dates Mars will run over the precise degrees of the July eclipses. Mark those dates down! Let me reiterate that if your relationship has been strong and satisfying, you have nothing to fear. You have Venus, the natural ruler of your house of true love, now touring your house of commitment. If you are dating and deeply in love, the eclipses of July 7 and 21 will act like a little band of matchmakers who will want to see you together. You may be walking down the aisle soon - in fact, sooner than you thought!  Capricorn Dates to Note: The full moon eclipse on August 5 will bring financial talks and actions to a head. If you've been waiting for an answer about a raise, you will hear at this time. You may also buy something of great value at this time. Another two positive financial days are due August 12 and 13. Don't press your financial luck on or near August 18 and 21. If you work on commission, or are looking for funding for a project, you may see your venture takes flight after August 20. Work will be very fast paced all month, and won't calm down until August 27 and beyond. Put in a good effort, however - top brass will notice your dedication. Travel could be difficult August 18 and 21 - be sure your car is in good working order. You and a partner may not see eye-to-eye on August 26 - don't push. Still, overall, your romantic relationship with a partner could be rather upbeat in the aggregate, thanks to Venus in your partnership house until August 27. Romance will be best: August 3, 7, 8, 13, 16, 20, and 29-30.
