Aries: An infectiously upbeat attitude becomes more vulnerable
on the 7th. While diplomatic
tensions peak with a sobering test of courage Aug 13-15, kindness will rule and
fairness will be appreciated. From 1:30
pm Aug 22- 11:30 am Aug 23 you have a brief chance to strategize without
repercussions, after that you are the pilot on a private mission.
Taurus: Aug 7 you answer the door and find an alien
infant in a basket making disturbing noises.
The next day the feeling of crisis will give way to the routine of life
support. By the 13th you’ll see
how caring for others is as indispensable to life as leaves on trees. This month’s crisis is a chance to find out
what you’ve learned and which skills you want to sharpen.
Gemini: On Aug 7 the harmonizing influence
stabilizing your life since April will move on at the same time your creativity
becomes free to explore further afield. You
are in a good position at the middle of the month to gain philosophical or
musical understanding from contractual tensions. This month’s challenge to gracefully fulfill
an obligation under pressure is a chance for Gemini to shine.
Cancer: A relationship that’s been casual and
intellectual since April will become more familiar after Aug 7. You are a mother coyote this month, caring
for a pack on the edge of civilization. Religious
rules about eating are institutions to preserve certain alliances. The more scarce the resources, the more a pack
must encourage discipline. Aug 13-15 you
are encourager in chief.
Leo: Leo’s are exceptional teachers because their
reverence for casual conversation elevates it to a higher level. They spark beauty with openhearted enthusiasm
to sharing ideas. Aug 7 begins a tour
spreading the gospel of pleasure; Aug 16 early risers see Jupiter, Venus and
maybe even Mercury rise before the sun.
Your community rewards you for preserving traditions.
Virgo: In 1848 when tax exemption for the nobility
was abolished in Hungary, The Married Women’s Property Act was passed in New
York, and the first Women’s Rights Convention was held; sorting out the
language and helping define the aims of these social movements was tedious and
largely thankless work…but everyone involved thought the dream was worth it. We’re in a similar time, and starting late on
the 22nd, attention to details will bring new visions into clearer
focus.
Libra: The skill most respected in politicians,
teachers, and business owners is the ability to compromise and to cooperate
with a wide variety of personalities, to strike a deal with a friendly hand
shake. A strong wind does not destroy
structures designed over time to receive the force, and the rest will get a
chance for renewal.
Scorpio: After Aug 23 truths will become secrets
waiting to get free. Before that you
will have no control, but perfect opportunity to decide which truths are most
vulnerable and how to protect them.
Pickled, salted, or is mummifying the only option available for the time
frame involved?
Sagittarius: Somewhere between 1995 and 2008 you shed
innocence. Some people toss it like a
shirt on the bed, others fold it up and put it in a closet hoping one day to
reclaim it. Some people fleeing
oppression leave innocence in the woods and grab whatever clothing will let
them pass unmolested. This year you feel
as blessed to look back on that process as a historian who finds witnesses.
Capricorn: Aug 13-15 is time for baptism in the waters
of religion, history, and tribal myth.
The more we know about the roots of traditions, the less we are slaves
to self destructive belief systems. Aug
1-22 get the word out and keep as many parties at the table as feasible; after
that start privately strategizing for various outcomes.
Aquarius: The first of the month an organizing
principle balances theatrical flare, and the end of the month it gives ideas
for adjusting the script. Emerging
developments Aug 5, 6 should be interesting when the moon lines up with your
planet (Uranus) in Aries. Aug 15-18 look
like a lot of fun as the moon passes mercury.
Pisces: Aug 3,4 and 30,31 are good days for flights
of pure imagination outside graduated cylinders. Aug 11 your tender sense of
luck this year is highlighted. Tension
is high Aug 15-17, but Aug 22-26 the sun opposing Neptune highlights clarity, and the moon illuminates exiles in healing institutions.
