August will see Saturn go direct on the 1st, Mars enter Leo on the 8th and Jupiter enter Virgo on the 11th. To add to the cosmic fun a conjunction of Venus and Jupiter on the 4th and the Sun and Jupiter on the 26th boding well for Love, Finances and Expansion. The New Moon on the 14th in Leo adds some confidence and panache to the Fire signs and the watery Full Moon in Pisces on the 28th cools things to maybe re-evaluate and complete some unfinished business.
Aries Mar 21st-Apr 20th
Are you ready Aries? Are you organised? Are you ready for the positive opportunities that come out of the blue? The 4th bodes well for your confidence in relationships, your energy is back and the world will notice your positive fiery vitality sparkling in the most creative way. You are all about truth, all about how you are valued and this month you add the qualities of playfulness and determination to your natural self-confident life résumé. You are the first sign of the Zodiac, take your place with the universe backing you all the way. The 21st and 28th highlights days when you can do your own reality check and voice your own creative value…your own honest appraisal and what serves you is your best indicator this month.
Taurus Apr 20th-May 21st
As a patient sign you won’t mind waiting until the second half of the month to enjoy the celestial benefits, or you may grow impatient and try pushing the stone before its ready to give up willingly. The focus is on the home front, there is much to organise and your energy is needed to at least spell out a few practicalities. Once this has been acknowledged, once the plans are discussed you can turn your eye to other matters. By the 14th things should be straighter, but the 23rd indicates that things are rather brilliant…but wait until the 26th when things come into a full natural fruition to brighten your early harvest of happiness.
Gemini May 22nd-Jun 22nd
Get ready for a busy month, a month of changes that you can adapt to but will require your quick mind and communication skills. As the pace is quick and speeding up by the 8th watch that you are being realistic on what others can keep up with. A moment of impatient speech can put peoples backs up, so…breathe and repeat…’I will explain to you again…’ There is much to attain and can be accomplished and with the benefit of the odd day to catch up on 7th, 17th and 21st. You can pull off the memorable moment that can lay the foundations to create a solid starting point for your future.
Cancer Jun 23rd– Jul 23rd
Things take a slower pace, as Mars moves from your sign on the 8th you should be feeling less defensive, or less stressed. This stress may move into another area but less personal and less sensitive. Finances are highlighted and although you may be feeling the strain by the 7th a compromise can be reach to everyone’s benefit. As you are coming out of a fairly intense time try to take some space to realign and readjust to your changing energies. The 23rd, 26th and 28th offers a new perspective on an old issue, the time has come to let go of what is not working and embrace an easier way of life.
Leo Jul 24th– Aug 23rd
With so much going on in your sign this should be a memorable month. The line-up of Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter in the first half of the month and with a New Moon in your sign on the 14th you are truly lit up. The benefits for you are great so make the most of your month and share your joy those who may feel that they stand in your shadow. It is not a month to hold back nor to compromise the essence of who you are, it is a month to believe in yourself, believe in your life and your choices. There is very little that can go wrong this month and if it looks as if things may…you will still come up smelling of roses.
Virgo Aug 24th-Sep 23rd
So much going on behind the scenes, but by the 8th you will be better placed to announce that important news and delight in how others respond to you. Then you can step out with the thought that you have done things right and it’s time to live just as you want to. From the 11th things look up even further as your thoughts turn to celebrations and travel. The 23rd and 26th are days that validate your integrity and ends a time of doubt and uncertainty. You now enter a time of growth with you casting off your cloak and revealing the beautiful transformation you have been struggling with.
Libra Sep 24th-Oct 23rd
A social month that finds you very much in demand. As you enjoy the attention you will also find new beginnings from the 14th adding further delight to your world. Relationships are becoming exciting and as you are feeling clearer in what you want you are able to go with the flow and show a more adaptable side. This benefits future plans and being able to communicate in openness brings a whole new understanding of the pressures and ambitions of those closest to you. Your support is needed and will be returned to you tenfold.
Scorpio Oct 24th-Nov 22nd
The change of Saturn to direct motion on the 1st will be felt by you first. This is not because of the coincidence that it takes place in your sign, but because you are highly intuitive and astutely feel the slightest shifts in life and the within the universe. For the next 6 weeks you are geared to put the final stages of a colossal clearing out a space to stand on a new threshold to view your new direction. This month heralds sounds of triumph, as the month progresses you may wonder where the celestial rhythm is coming from as day by day it sounds clearer, then by the 28th you will realise that it is actually you creating the beautiful tempo and that the world around you holds it breath and listens to your peaceful and powerful new tune.
Sagittarius Nov 23rd– Dec 21st
Make hay while the sun shines…and working within a partnership or team could help to gather more and share the load. It is not a month to go it alone, for no other reason than there is unexpected help at hand so that you can work, rest and still find time to play. You are clearer in who you trust so allow the process to happen, so that you can learn to delegate to enable you to concentrate on new possibilities. Time to put in place an initial structure that frees you from the monotonous, as in the short term those responsibilities hinder your inspiration. There will be a time for the details, when the process demands only your attention, so lessen your load in August and get your life balance right first.
Capricorn Dec 22nd– Jan 20th
As an Earth Sign, you will benefit from some celestial shifts by the 11th, but first you need to sort out your relationships with colleagues and partnerships. Only once things are clear and agreed can the real business growth begin. There will be lots to sort out in this area from 14th, be up front and things will progress quickly, hold back and things could be delayed beyond your control. By the 23rd you should be on your way to new enterprises and the 26th is looking good to agreements that have a lasting relationship. A holiday or break from work at the end of the month could bring much need headspace to relax and recuperate.
Aquarius Jan 21st-Feb 19th
For you Aquarius the month highlights your relationships…if you feel inclined to want your own space free from demands…think twice as the emphasis is on sharing and being present. There will be time to break loose and do your thing, but not until the end of the month. The 8th starts the demands of your attention and builds until 14th when some breakthrough or insight lights the way forward. If working towards a new relationship then midmonth looks good for a new understanding on your needs and desires. The 21st is a day of stalemate or resistance, either on your part or someone close, so try to negotiate the positives as they may not be looking through your clear perspective.
Pisces Feb 20th-Mar 20th
If your working life gets chaotic, check that others are also doing their fair share of the tasks. Such a demand on your time may highlight the need to put your foot down now and again rather than allow others to get into a bad habit of relying on your sense of what’s right and challenging your compassionate nature to always help out. Time to look after yourself, around the 23rd could be time to rethink your life balance so that you have that all important time to yourself, just to be, and let others take the lead. Some financial benefits are indicated, although you may wait until the end of the month for this to be voiced or made real. There is support for your needs, may be you just might need to be more vocal. Seems someone is not hearing you…try being more directive by instructing rather than asking as they may not take your gentle voice seriously.
