While there is deliberate intent or action from the stars to make this a balance where you might just get the balance between work and play right, you have all the ingredients to do just that, without any one aspect taking from or demanding from the other. Almost as if unaware of each other, there are forces that are going to make this a good month across the income, work and career fronts without pushing anything, while at the same time, the playful, creative and adventurous side of life's fence is powering up and is going to remain powered up. Almost unaware of each other and not getting in each other's way, both sides of life's fence are just going to get on with it. While the Sun won't return to your career sector until 23rd August, Venus begins the month here but will leave on 7th August. With Chiron staying on in your work sector but turning retrograde on 4th August and having left your income sector at the end of March the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment retrograding back in on 12th August, they will keep things in safe hands. By the time the Sun returns on 23rd August and Mercury on 25th August, things will be looking positive on the income, work and career fronts, though with little demands or urgency. Meanwhile, while the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of August in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery, when he leaves this won't take the focus off the adventurous side of life's fence. Instead, having returned at the end of June and not leaving until July 2027, Jupiter will not only continue to put his considerable weight behind the adventurous side of life's fence, but with the help of the three powerful planets in a playful and creative part of your chart that will be here throughout that time. This is a month where it will be easy to keep things balanced and also enjoy the perks of what will be a positive month across the communication, social and relationship fronts.
