Zodiac Sign Forecast for August 2019--Shine on
Many people took their summer vacations in July which featured two powerful eclipses and Mercury retrograde. While we couldn't make traction on projects or any other area of our lives, July still wasn't the best month to travel afar but it was a month retreat. August presents a different animal which actually asks us to take a vacation and experience joy.
While we won't be experiencing powerful eclipses in August, we will experience three yods starting with the yod that arrives with the Leo New Moon on July 31/August 1 which includes a sextile with Neptune and Pluto in a yod with Mars in Leo. This last until August 4 when Mars moves to 22 degrees Leo.
Then Venus replaces Mars in the yod on August 11 until the 14 followed by Mercury forming a yod with Neptune and Pluto on the 22 until the 24th of the month. Write down those days on your calendar because those are the times we experience the big yield sign that tells us to back up and rethink whatever we are working on at the time. Those are also times when fated events are most likely to occur which is why slowing down helps us take advantage of those encounters.
The good news is that Jupiter goes direct on the same day Uranus goes retrograde. Saturn, Neptune, Chiron, and Pluto are also retrograde except Saturn moves direct in September so we'll feel like getting work done again. With all this planetary excitement firing up our senses, what can we expect for the Zodiac Signs in August.
Water
Cancer--If you spent too much time in your shell in June and July, you'll join the fray in August. We all want to shine brighter with the Leo Sun energy as well as, Mercury, Venus, and Mars also transiting in Leo. We launch the month with Leo energy since the Leo New Moon falls on August 1 (July 31). It's time to count your blessings and reassess your values. Are you aware of your gifts and talents? If the answer is no, it's time for self-exploration.
Scorpio--You breathe a sigh of relief when Uranus turns retrograde on the 11th. This is because of Uranus in opposition to your Sun, Moon, or Rising Sign (1st House), has caused chaos in your life. Since you are represented by a Fixed Sign, you don't adapt well to changes which cause you psychological stress. But on the other hand, your planetary ruler Pluto is all about change and transformation. You represent the birth and death process. So, let the old stories go so you make way for the new. The Leo energy squares you causing you to avoid the light. Come out and play in the sunshine, Scorpio. Your career and public image are highlighted.
Pisces--Are you tired of spacing out and feeling like Mr. Magoo driving his car blindly through life? You earned your spiritual wings but now you must ground yourself with mundane feet. I have a feeling your checkbook is out of balance, especially with the Mercury RX transit which messes everything up. The Leo and Aquarius Moons ask you to get your daily life in balance with your spiritual life. Remember that manifestation requires some legwork and that's what you're asked to do this August. Also, I'm hearing that some of you have been invited to audition for performances. Show up and give it your best. You never know where it will lead.
Fire
Aries--It's time to take the lead with colleagues and friends. Some of you get involved in sports while others shine your light in the performing arts. But it's not enough to go it alone this month. Join other likeminded people. Explore the concept of cooperation versus competition. You're usually a competitive sign but this month it's more about joining forces with others instead of battling others. United we stand strong. Remember those words, Aries.
Leo--I know you love the month of August. It's your time to join your pride and to reflect on your accomplishments from your previous solar year (happy birthday). The Leo New Moon which launches the month sends you shopping for a new image to match your personal evolution. Give away clothing and other items that no longer resonate with you. Free up space for new and exciting experiences to enter. The Aquarius Full Moon on the 15th, have you wondering where you fit into the greater scheme. Try not to pit yourself against the collective while also not falling into the trap of groupthink.
Sagittarius--Are you taking advantage of your benefactor Jupiter in your sign? Yes, it's true, life circumstances slowed down for you during the spring months, but Jupiter goes direct on the 11th at the midpoint degree. We also experience a Grand Fire Trine this month which uplifts you and sets you on a new adventure. Long-distance travel goes well after Jupiter goes direct so if you have a trip planned, go for it. Reach for the stars.
Earth
Taurus--Just like Scorpio, you sigh with relief on the 11th when Uranus goes retrograde. Uranus wakes up our consciousness but when the planet moves in direct motion it brings unexpected situations. Taurus you and the themes represented by your sign undergo swift changes. Fortunately, Saturn, Pluto, and the South Node support you while you navigate the transformed landscape. Since you're the most grounded sign, take some risks in August that lift your feet off the ground.
Virgo--The highlights for you include Uranus going retrograde at 7 degrees and Jupiter going direct which has you scrutinizing your spiritual beliefs. You might even venture into galactic territory. Saturn, Pluto, and the South Node ask you to clear away old karma so you can begin a new cycle launched by the Virgo New Moon on the 30th.
Capricorn--You grow stronger by the day. Unfortunately, you take life too seriously and you are a relentless leader suffering from workaholism. Take a vacation or at least go and explore a creative gift that allows you to shine in the world. If you have thought of trying acting, audition for community theater. If you want to explore your voice give a lecture or join a choir. If gardening is your thing, then get your hands dirty in rich soil. There's more than a way of manifesting abundance than old fashion hard work. Listen to the advice of the Jackson 5, "Enjoy Yourself."
Air
Aquarius--You have the task of educating people about the ins and outs of the collective. Try explaining that socialism is not a dirty word to people bent on Capitalism. You might lead rallies or you just rebel against the latest trends. And anyway, you already did those things years ago. The Leo energy seems selfish to you but that's only because you are afraid to explore your inner workings. You're afraid to show up as an individual so you hide behind a cause or a group. But August is asking you to shine on like your Leo brothers and sisters.
Gemini--Jupiter goes direct on the 11th and this direct motion asks you to expand your horizons. Get on a plane or a ship and travel afar. Take a college-level class or take a writing workshop where you explore a new genre. The Virgo New Moon on the 30th leaves you feeling agitated but you get involved in mental pursuits during the Aquarius Full Moon mid-month. If there's something you always wanted to learn but didn't have the time, take time out in August to delve into this topic. Research, writing, and editing go well. If you are a writer, you could see a contract coming your way between August 11 and the 15.
Libra--Are you tired of swimming in Cardinal stew? You stand at a crossroads once again and you have to make a decision. Not only that, you do have a message to communicate about diplomacy even if you struggle with the words. Short-distance and long-distance travel are highlighted for you. You try to hide behind the ivory walls of higher education because you don't realize that you already have all the wisdom you require to succeed in a leadership role. Take up the mantle. It's time to lead us to a more peaceful way of living.
