Free Pisces Horoscope for August 2011
So first, let’s start with the topic of communications. You’ve got Jupiter in your solar 3rd house of communications, an influence that is said to not only be good for communications themselves but for gaining extra income from that field. More about that in a sec. Mercury is also retrograde for most of the month, an influence that is said to scramble communications.
It’s Mercury in Leo, in your 6th house of workplace matters. More about that in a sec, too. The way I see it, the way to cash in on Jupiter while sidestepping Mercury is to keep two things in mind. One is that your basic Pisces purpose is to be of service, not to be led down the Leonine path of ego and glory.
Second, keep things simple and easy to understand. That almost always works. If not–well Mercury retrograde is also said to be good for revising. After the 21st, Venus moves into Virgo where it works nicely with Jupiter. Venus helps you comprehend what other people are saying, which is essential to all communication. This can be useful in your love life, professionally, in any arena.
Now about the income thing. Using word-based skills is a good way to compensate for the disruptions to your income and financial life that Uranus is either springing on you or planning to spring on you. Don’t be fooled by circumstances if things are going well right now. You need to be an ant, not a grasshopper, and squirrel away some nuts for the coming winter. Wow, that was a lot of animals in one sentence. 
Now about the workplace thing. If you keep in mind the Mercury caveat, you have a chance to shine at work this month, thanks to a bunch of Leo planets. This ties in with the income thing because Venus, the money planet, is in Leo until the 21st, so you have a modest chance of raising your income from your job.
Venus in Virgo also marks the start of your annual committed relationship season. It’s all about connections at this time of year. Good time to use the energy is at the new moon on the 28th. Your committed relationship season will continue this year through most of September.
Finally, a random cautionary note. Mars is in Cancer in your solar 5th house this month picking fights with every outer planet except Jupiter. The 5th house is the house of children, creativity, and having a good time. Lord only knows what irritations Mars will work himself into a brief emotional frenzy about this month, but note the keyword ‘brief.’ There is no compelling reason to pay any more attention to Mars or emotional frenzies this month than is absolutely necessary. They will pass.
