On August 12, Jupiter (the greater fortune) and Venus (the less fortune) will form a conjunction, which means their energies will be fused together to create a double dose of abundance that can run the gamut from experiencing a financial windfall, being offered a major opportunity or attracting the love of your life.
Astrologically speaking, the conjunction is a powerful aspect that coincides with beginnings and endings. Given the auspicious nature of the planets involved, if it coincides with an ending in your life, it will likely be a happy one.
Since the conjunction is occurring in Cancer, its influence is considered a positive one for one's home, family and domestic life, as well as for matters connected to real estate,
However, given the extravagant nature of Venus and Jupiter, some of you may need to exercise restraint when it comes to your budget and/or your diet.
So where is the Venus-Jupiter conjunction likely to bring you a double dose of good fortune and/or encourage a bit of overindulgence in your life?

If your Rising Sign or Sun Sign is:
Aries, it falls in your 4th house of home, family and real estate. You may give your residence or backyard a makeover, find your dream home or if you're selling property, receive a very good offer for it. There could be a new addition to your family, and perhaps even in your home. You may find yourself hosting more events in your home, including one of a celebratory nature.
Taurus, it falls in your 3rd house of siblings, neighbors, transportation, short trips and all forms of communications. You may have an opportunity to take a short trip or be paid for teaching, writing or speaking. It's possible that a new car or other type of ground vehicle could make its way to you. You may hear big news related to a sibling or neighbor or an announcement about an upscale project in your local area.
Gemini, it falls in your 2nd house of money, income, tangible assets, values and self-esteem. You may have an opportunity to increase your earned income and/or learn of a significant investment opportunity at your financial institution. Money could also come to you through some type of a windfall (e.g., you sell a collectible for a high price). Since this is the house of spending, you could splurge on a big purchase, and last but not least, you may experience a rise in your self-esteem.
Cancer, it falls in your 1st house of the Self, including your physical appearance and approach to life. If you have been wanting to make a change in your appearance, and especially if money has been holding you back from doing so, this may be the time you're able to pull the trigger on it. You may find that you feel more optimistic and hopeful about the future, and if you want to put yourself out there in a bigger way (personally or professionally), this influence can give you the confidence to move outside of your comfort zone.
Leo, it falls in your 12th house of spirituality, emotional health, healing and psychic abilities. You may experience a stronger sense of emotional security and harmony in your life, as well as an opportunity to heal past wounds. Your intuitive gifts could take a giant step forward now, and if you have been practicing for a while, this may be the time you start getting paid for your service.
Virgo, it falls in your 11th house of groups, associations, hopes and casual social connections. You may be more popular now, and if you're on social media, your following is likely to expand. You may have the opportunity to volunteer for an organization or a cause that inspires you, join a team or become a member of a group with like-minded people. It's also possible that one or more of your hopes or goals will come to pass around this time.
Libra, it falls in your 10th house of career, status and fame. This may be a time of success for you. There may be a significant career opportunity within your current organization, or someone may simply reach out to you based on your reputation. You may be recognized with a promotion for your past performance or receive award for your expertise. You could also experience an elevation in your status on a personal level, such as opening your own business, getting married or becoming a homeowner, parent or grandparent.
Scorpio, it falls in your 9th house of foreign travel, higher knowledge, media, publishing and law. You may have opportunity to travel abroad or take a long-distance domestic trip. If you're traveling around this time, you could be upgraded to first class on your flight or to a suite at your hotel. A paid opportunity to teach or speak could come your way, and if you are involved in publishing or media, your reach is likely to increase and/or you may reap a financial reward from it.
Sagittarius, it falls in your 8th house of other people's resources and support, intimacy and transformation. You may receive a financial gift, scholarship or bonus or be approved for a line of credit, a loan or a mortgage. If you have been waiting on an inheritance or financial settlement, it's likely to pay out around this time. Although it doesn't guarantee a jackpot, this influence increases the odds of winning money. Financial support may also come in the form of endorsements and referrals. A deeper level of intimacy in a personal relationship is likely now, as is reaping the benefits from a recent transformation in your life.
Capricorn, it falls in your 7th house of marriage, lawsuits and one-to-one relationships. Your relationships are likely to experience greater harmony now. If you have a romantic partner, your love for each other is likely to grow, and if you are unattached, love may blossom at this time. If you have been together for some time in a personal or professional partnership, this could be the time you make it a legal union. Legal matters are favored, so if you are involved in a lawsuit (divorce or otherwise), you may experience a good opportunity to settle the matter.
Aquarius, it falls in your 6th house of work and service, nutrition, physical health and pets. A new work opportunity at your present job or at another company is likely now, as is the possibility of being recognized with a tangible reward for your service. You could score a great deal on a gym membership, welcome a furry companion into your life or have the opportunity to learn a new craft that requires precision, such as cake decorating, embroidery or jewelry-making. If you have a sweet tooth, you may need to exercise restraint now. Also, while this conjunction is considered beneficial, it's possible that it's influence could negatively influence existing health conditions related to sugar, weight and hormones.
Pisces, it falls in your 5th house of romance, children, entertainment, creativity, hobbies and other pleasurable pursuits. Opportunities for fun (however you define it) are likely to be plentiful now. This is a very positive time for romance, and there could be big news related to pregnancy and/or children.
