2008 August Monthly Horoscopes
Aries
You begin the month with a powerful explosion of passion fueling you forward to realize some of your most eccentric dreams. Something early in the month that catches you completely by surprise, is presenting you with the challenge of letting go of your need for order long enough for you to see the infinite wisdom of some of your crazier inner workings. You may worry that you can't do this all by yourself, but the good news is you don't have to. You are reaching a point of a breakthrough; a partner or companion is more than inspired by your dedication and is at a point of making an important commitment to a good cause. Recognize what stands between you and your success is only your need to control every aspect of the way it manifests in your life. You may have thought you wanted a green hat - but what if you have beautiful green hat with a diamond brooch and a matching hand bag on the way? Let go of the beliefs that only limit your possibilities and you will be well on your way to a profound evolution of being.
Taurus
By nature you are a trusting soul but as the month begins you may be deeply questioning certain people in your life who parade around with the veil of spirituality and awareness. Be patient with your own vulnerability. You may need to push past what feels like a huge risk, directly putting a wall between you and any stability you've been trying to gather in your life. But the eclipse in your career zone this month is reflecting just how deep and golden the roots of your being are -- so let go of this struggle. Your horizons are opening up and if you can dare to go out into the world, you may just find the unexplored mountain of passion and creativity you've been looking for. If you can follow a partner's lead in dealing with the unpredictability of life, you can finally get on the same page. You are embarking on an adventure that few have the stomach, let alone the heart, smarts and determination for. But right now you seem to have it all and if you can avoid the rain of criticism, the end of the month may just show you, you don't have to go it alone.
Gemini
An enlightening experience this month (which may come through a physical journey you make) has the ability to crystallize your ideas while opening you up to an electric vision of the future. Someone in your life seems ready to offer you the kind of emotional or financial stability you've been looking for. You seem to be caught between past ideas of security and reaching out to what makes you feel safe and understood right now. But really if this is a choice between a rock and a soft place, between looking backwards or forward, do you really have to think twice? You are reaching a breakthrough of epic proportions with the ability to shower you with all kinds of surprises. If you can stay with the truth in your heart, you will discover the strength of unshakable faith. Soon you are going to learn the real meaning of the phrase "Home is where the heart is" then you can really start to have fun.
Cancer
Events this month may quickly take on a surreal flavor leaving you wondering if this indeed is still your life. You are currently in a process of re-birth that is dissolving you into a state of union that borders on the divine. This could be an actual relationship in your life, but you are making contact with someone or something on a level that may feel like you are losing yourself. But really you are only just discovering yourself and your true worth, and you get to do it in a unique way. It's almost as if you are psychically looking at yourself through the eyes of people you are most intimately entwined with. Now is also when you get to shock people out of any projections they may have been tempted to pour on you. If I were to compare it to a religious experience -- this is the real baptism of your being, bathing you in the light of your soul. It may come as truth glaring you in the face but you have the opportunity to reemerge in a way that aligns with your true values and what you choose to do with what you learn is entirely up to.
Leo
As the eclipses light up your 1 st and 7 th houses, this is one summer that you will be looking back on as a time when things shifted. You are the captain of this ship but I would suggest you use the highest, purest, relationships in your life as a guiding north star as you chart your course. A partner for their part is awakening in ways you would not imagine. It may seem there is more chaos in this area of your life than you prefer, but this is just a signal that you are indeed staring into the eyes of truth. We have allowed teenagers and romance novelists define the term "soul mates" for too long. These are often some of the most difficult relationships we face, reflecting in gory detail the soul changes that need to happen if we want to evolve. Any mistrust or ambiguity you feel is your cue to ask the question - does this relationship help me grow? You want to be around people who sometimes shock you into reality, rather than the sirens humming the sweet melody of illusion, fantasy and an easy ride. Anais Nin once said, "We don't see things as they are. We see them as we are." Now the question is who are you? Unbelievable as it may seem, someone indeed is your equal. It's not a mirage and it's a fascinating sight.
Virgo
You begin the month with a fiery sizzle from your heart to your toes letting you know unequivocally what must happen next. Use any fear and insecurity you feel as a fuel source to help you push past the wall you have built inside yourself. Allow the forces of creativity and your true self to percolate into your experience of existence. You are now in the process of refining and distilling a grand vision into something that has the ability to work like a dream - bringing clarity and awareness to the lives of the many people you hope to touch. There is any aspect of your security that you seem to be struggling with. But need this really be a struggle if it frees you from anxiety of expecting perfection. Your healing powers are currently (no pun intended) so vivid and electric that they can indeed be traced back to a higher power. But the real lesson here is that you trust in that this invisible Sun is deep inside of you, waiting patiently to reveal to you a new dawn.
Libra
As the month progresses you may not be able to avoid the social obligations and opportunities for almost surreal adventures drawing you into their spell. But you should be well aware that your most creative work is happening deep underground in that earthy part of you that rarely sees the light. Your quiet methodical nature is the fertile ground that breeds your creative genius and right now it's like Santa's workshop in there. What are you dreaming and envisioning for yourself and what are you willing to do to materialize this fantasy? Your instincts are more on point than you realize and they are helping you lay the foundation for the kind of security you have long but dreamed of; and now are more than capable of. Meanwhile a partner is reaching an inner breakthrough and seems about ready to break the silence. Be patient as they work through these final demons of any false ideas. As invisible he or she may have seemed lately - they are finally ready to show up and for once it seems like the right time.
Scorpio
Something is sparking a reaction within you so unpredictable and alien that it makes even you hesitate. A situation is changing deeply, leaving you with little option but to respond in like. You may even resent this, but it's forcing you to loosen up and dip into the pool of uncertainty, possibility and magic. You seem to be struggling with something you hope and wish for but perhaps don't feel you are worthy of. It may feel like your foundations are dissolving, but if you can get out of your own way, you have more support than you realize. One down to earth conversation with a partner or a close friend is grounding you. If you listen carefully, it should leave you no doubt of their commitment to this friendship and solid, endless support of your dreams. Even as your career comes sharply into focus mid-month, it is clear that it is your inner space that's in the most need of healing. As you put down your spiritual roots, surround yourself with the kind of people you can intuitively commune with. You're being guided now to your true family, who has the potential to awaken you (sometimes painfully) to the true mission of your soul.
Sagittarius
After what may have seemed like an endless struggle of keeping your nose to the grind, you are finally about to receive a tangible, possibly financial reward for your efforts. More importantly, this is showing you the effect of your faith and in no uncertain terms grounding and affirming your self worth. It's time you started getting more recognition for your efforts and professionally you have a lot more clout that you can imagine. It is your receptivity to a partner's idea that is building the foundation for greater future stability -- financially as well as for your relationship. But the real lesson of the month is when you finally start to trust in the bold vision and the ingenuous ideas that spring forth from your well of spirituality. You are tapping into a source so vast that you may fear it will dissipate at any time. What I can see now and you probably know already that this source is the essence of you and is in no danger of disappearing. Your ideas have always been ahead of the times, but right now you stand in a ripe moment where their time has come.
Capricorn
The past few years have been a slow and at times painful journey of understanding your self. You may have at times been able to successfully hide (even from yourself) this inner turmoil behind a veil of serenity, but you don't really have that option anymore. This months eclipses take place on one of the most sensitive axis in your chart. A deeply personal situation or relationship has the potential to shine a light on your true self and helping you see yourself as you truly are. Often a lot of what we think we stand for is actually just a reflection or projection of what society or the people in our life have taught us to believe or take on as our own. Now is a time when you free of yourself of all. This may require you to be shockingly honest with yourself even about the things you don't particularly like. Your heightened awareness is guiding many to follow your example. Your faith has never been stronger and you can trust you have enough support and love from far and near as you begin this process of self-discovery. Your mission if you choose to accept it is to uncover the real truth of who you are.
Aquarius
There's a spotlight on you this month that's likely to shine through any veil of denial you've been under. It's hard to rattle an Aquarius, but over the past few years a sense of an awareness so profound and electric has entered your being that even you may have begun to question your sanity at times. You may feel at this time that a relationship has more power over you than you would like. But in truth you are the one awakening a partner to a new way of being. What changes this month will depend on your ability to be honest with yourself and a partner about how you feel even if it scares you a bit. Relationships are a delicate dance we do and in essence act as a mirror for the soul, showing us the truth of who we are. Your ability to be real with yourself is giving a partner the courage to do the same. The time has come for you to blast through perceptions and reveal your true soul identity - the one that inspires a great many to follow in your footsteps.
Pisces
You are awakening to an awareness of your mission in an undeniable way. It's true, awareness can be a painful thing; it forces you acknowledge the real work that needs to be done. But what your dreams are really reflecting is your need to feel passionate about every morning that you get to see the sun rise. Your great need to truly enjoy what you do is helping you create and manifest your grand vision into a reality. Allow your dreams to spill into your reality, they are revealing of the true genius of your soul. You may also at this time be working through the layers of a relationship. Be honest with what is awakening within you now and allow a partner an opportunity to change. Your inner changes happen in spurts and flashes of lightening; a partner however needs to work through their changes like you peel an onion. It may take a while for you to get to the core, but once you do you will see it was worth the wait.
