MONTHLY HOROSCOPES

Aries

August’s eclipses on the 12th and 28th earmark August as a month where profound shifts can take place.  If you’ve been longing to ‘feel the love’ the total solar eclipse on the 12th in the heart chakra zone of your chart should prompt a greater capacity to experience all those things that make this chakra sing.  Of course, if something or someone has not been conducive to joy, then this could be the moment of totality between you.  Virgo season, beginning on the 23rd brings you down to earth.  And it could be that the eclipsed Full Moon on the 28th marks a time of clearing and healing.

Taurus

Eclipses always suggest an air of intensity so August brings with it a need to address certain aspects of your personal life and make home and family a priority especially on and around the total eclipse on August 12th.  You’re finding your way into new connections and interests which could be the catalyst for a much bigger clear out on the eclipsed Full Moon on the 28th when. you realise certain aspects of the past are no longer relevant.  The spark lies in your future.

Gemini

August could be an overstimulating month as a pair of eclipses stir the pot.  It’s possible that new inspiration and interests take you in an unexpected direction, mentally or location-wise.  Certainly contacts and connections are buzzing.  Later in August the eclipsed Full Moon of the 28th squared up to maverick Uranus prompts decisions or a plot twist you couldn’t have anticipated.   Embracing a period of discovery is the way to go.

Cancer

The action planet Mars enters Cancer on the 11 spending the rest of August and most of September in your sign.  So prepare for lift-off!  Especially with a total solar eclipse on the 12th which opens your eyes to your own gifts and talents and ways to turn them into gold.   Virgo season opens on the 23rd and there’s a need to explore imminent plans and ideas.  On the 28th the eclipsed Full Moon in the most adventurous angle of your chart could see you going out on a limb, trying something new and surprising people with your perspective.

Leo

As Jupiter is now frolicking through your sign you’re getting used to the possibilities of living your best life.  Yet the solar eclipse in Leo on the 12th suggests an initiation of some sort which enables you to make vital decisions or begin a new process.  On the 28th an eclipsed Full Moon in Pisces places the astrological spotlight on joint finances and your position in anything you share with others.   This is the moment to alter the terms and conditions if you wish or to write something off which is a drain on your resources, time and energy.  You need them for things that feed your soul.

Virgo

Whilst your everyday life may be carrying on there’s so much going on in the background.  A total eclipse suggests that you’re pre-occupied with something that takes up a vast amount of your attention.  Do you need a break from it all?  As Virgo season begins on the 23rd and the Sun lights you up, llate August also brings an eclipsed Full Moon in Pisces which links to what has been shifting for the past couple of years.   Assess where you are now and the alterations that have taken place in a close relationship.  Are you where you expected to be or is there more that needs to change?

Libra

It’s often the case that other people catalzye big changes in your own life – you can put that down to being a Libra who tends to adapt and compromise for others.  As August contains a pair of powerful eclipses once again you find yourself in a position where you need to respond to what’s put forward.  Venus is with you so of course you’ll deal with it all in your own charming way.   Vital changes to your life are perhaps overdue so as you come to the eclipsed Full Moon in the ‘lifestyle’ sector of your skies on the 28th you recognise new prospects are actually exciting.

Scorpio

As a total solar eclipse follows the Lion’s Gate Portal in the prime position of your chart August looks set to light your fire in more ways than one.   For a start this is an opportune moment to raise your sights and career prospects higher.  A new focus is coming into view which will give you plenty of scope to ignite your Scorpio passion.  Virgo season is all about collaboration and connection and what is presented around the eclipsed Full Moon of the 28th urges you to embrace the new.

Sagittarius

You are never one to stand still for long and August sizzles with possibilities of exploring new horizons whether you are taking off or bury expanding your mind and range of interests.  The total eclipse on the 12th is a trigger point for proposals and ideas to ignite which you are keen to follow through.  On the 28th a corresponding eclipsed Full Moon in the home, domestic and inner realm of your chart suggests you really do wish to live differently.

Capricorn

Some people experience Capricorn as a closed book as far as your inner feelings are concerned.  But you might surprise yourself and others around the time of the total eclipse which digs into the deeper aspects of your life and excavates them to the surface.   Mars is also making its presence felt in Cancer, your opposite sign, which imbues relationships with greater energy.  Towards the end of August a lunar eclipse starts you thinking about things you’ve never considered before…..

Aquarius

It’s not as if July was without importance – far from it, you found yourself experiencing the inherent shifts within the Barbault basket configuration and the potent Full Moon in Aquarius which has brought you to a point of clarification.  August continues the theme of powerful energies which circulate around close relationships when the total solar eclipse downloads on the 12th.  It’s time to bring yourself into relationship in a more whole hearted way instead of standing back.  Then on the 28th with the lunar eclipse you’ll find that clear cut financial decisions come easily too.

Pisces

You can feel a lot going on in the waters of life during August, even if yours remains calm on the surface in the early part of the month.    The solar eclipse on the 12th is an invitation to rid yourself of anything that’s clogging your system.  Yet it might not be until the powerful lunar eclipse in Pisces on the 28th that you actually pull the plug!  The relief will be palpable.  Now you can focus on the present and the future rather than the past.
