Astrology Forecast for August 2014
August is a month of crossroads, choices and adjustments with this forecast. It promises to be far less disruptive than the first half of the year, and far more fun, too. The new contours of our universe are settling in, and it’s time to start exploring them.
Your heart remains the most reliable navigational tool. Fittingly, the month begins and ends with milestones in matters dear to the heart, and a big celebration in between.
The exploration launches with relationships, desires and/or financial matters firming up and stabilizing. Optimism runs high, while notions of how much bigger and better they could be pop up in messages, dominate our thinking and inspire going for more.
That deposits you at the first series of crossroads. Some lead to self-awareness and connection to spirit, others to escapism, cellular programming and primal terrors. You (and your heart) know which paths you’d benefit from exploring now. Don’t like the terrain? You’re not trapped. “Change your thinking; change your life” isn’t just a slogan; it’s the cosmic current around the 8th. If all else fails, push on any wall in your way. It may well budge. And look for the big picture and overarching philosophical implications with the Aquarius Full Moon on the 10th.
The month’s opening themes-relationships, desires and/or financial matters–heat up when their ruler Venus moves into Leo on the 12th. So does the fun. After the goddess of love takes on that regal fire, social interactions blossom into warmth, playfulness and drama. They could quickly flare into reality TV territory, but just as easily ascend into heaven-on-earth levels of open-heartedness; your choice. Mercury’s move into Virgo on the 15th encourages discernment amid the showy potential, while keeping conversations flowing for the rest of the month.
Nostalgia, escapism or compassion (your choice) enter the mix in time for the 18th, when Venus and good-time Jupiter throw the party of the month, if not the year. The vibe may be unfamiliar to the point of feeling otherworldly, but go with it. Think about it later, too; it’s a harbinger of things to come. More honest and intense connections are yours for the choosing. Refocusing your heart-cutting out a craving or obsession that is not in keep with your truth or integrity, for example-probably figures in the bargain. So does discarding a limiting perspective.
Regardless of what you choose or don’t choose, by the Virgo New Moon of the 25th, a key is turning in a lock. Your heart is breaking free, but not haphazardly. Your energy is focused, committed and intense. Any impediments you encounter are springboards for your heart and will forcing action. This ups the flirt factor in relationships, but will also move all manner of situations along, particularly those that settled in at the month’s start. Where everything’s heading is not exactly clear. The otherworldly atmosphere of the 18th rolls in again as the month rolls out. It’s unfamiliar territory, same as the ground you’re now traveling. Your mind isn’t going to lead you through it. You know the rest.
