Mars in Cancer squares Neptune in Aries on Monday, helping us see that our circumstances can improve. We don't need to lie down and accept things as they are, but it's up to us to open the door and let in the good fortune. For these astrological signs, this day is all about forward motion. The cosmos shows us that going backwards is not an option anymore.
1. Leo

The universe delivers you a message on Monday, Leo, and it carries a sense of urgency. When Mars in Cancer squares Neptune in Aries, you get the sneaking suspicion that if you don't act now, you'll blow it. You wanted to feel a bit more prepared before making a move, but time is of the essence.
This means that if you see an opportunity to change your life for the better, then you had better act on it now. A turn of fortune needs your participation if it's to be true fortune. Don't let a good thing pass you by.
OK, done deal! You're on it. You want the good stuff. You're no longer content to just dream about it. It's go time in your world, and during Mars square Neptune, you realize what you get if you don't make your move: nothing. Who wants that?
2. Scorpio

On this day, when Mars in Cancer squares off with Neptune in Aries, the universe helps you see both sides of what's going on. If you felt confused before, that's no longer the case. You are now able to see what the right and wrong moves are.
This day offers you both, so what will you do? Really, it's a no-brainer, Scorpio. You clearly see that if you go in one direction, you will end up miserable. But the other obviously leads to good fortune. You know which you prefer.
That's great, because it's not always so clear to you. Sometimes you just accept the pain, assuming there is no other way. But it's always been a choice, and self-respect wins. On Monday, choose yourself over hardship.
3. Aquarius

When Mars in Cancer squares Neptune in Aries on August 17, the universe delivers a message. It shows you exactly what you don't want, Aquarius. Huh? Don't worry; it's more helpful than it sounds.
When you have your options laid out like that, it's fairly easy for you to see what you need to do next. One thing's for sure: you don't need to stick with what depresses you or dims your light. Absolutely not! Instead, it's time to choose yourself.
On Monday, you decide to give yourself a real break. You've been too hard on yourself lately, and that's getting you nowhere. By practicing self-compassion, you open the gates to great opportunity and good fortune. It sounds like a much better deal, doesn't it?
