YOUR SIGN FOR
AUGUST 2008
This is a general overview of the energy experienced by one particular Sun Sign. To arrange a consultation for a personalized session please see the Chart Consultations page
ARIES
The eclipse month begins with Aries refreshed and reenergized. Creative juices have been sparked and there is now a need to chill out, have fun and rekindle some kind of joy from life.
The previous month could have been a rather introspective time and your feelings may have been a bit more sensitized than usual. This month will be quite a turn around with the need to let loose and shine.
Around the 17th a new light could be shone on a future project or group activity. Maybe something quite elusive may now seem more attainable. This is also a perfect time to have faith with perusing ‘a dream’
TAURUS
The solar eclipse hones its energy into your root self, inner feelings, security and emotional foundations. This is particularly geared to people born within a couple of days of May 1st.
Family issues and dealings with the home may be ignited. This could manifest as a brand new beginning within the family environment or an uncovering of some kind. Your feelings could be heightened so be aware of being overly defensive or touchy.
The Lunar eclipse mid month may rattle your career or public image so be ready for a few changes. This could pertain to something you believed to be the truth not necessarily being the case.
GEMINI
The eclipse month is all about mental stimulation which is right up the Gemini alley. This could include incorporating a brand new mental interest or study program or the attainment of a new communications gizmo.
Mercury moves into the home sector in the second week so attention will start to move there even to the point of studying from home, redoing a home office or extra communication from family.
The Lunar eclipse on the 17th may have your philosophical interests at the forefront. There is also a strong need to explore anything ‘new age’ or the esoteric. By allowing yourself to be open to this way of thinking, it could lead you to a revelation or unveiling of some kind.
CANCER
After a rather busy month Cancer starts to slow down in August. The Solar eclipse has its energy focused on sustaining and consolidating.
Quite a lot was planted last month and now its time to plough. This is best attained by paying attention to issues regarding your security and resources and making sure you are well equipped for the job ahead.
The Lunar eclipse mid month sheds energy concerning mixed resources and intense connections. Make sure you are aware of the complete truth with these dealings earlier on in the month to avoid any surprises later on.
LEO.
The solar eclipse is in your own sign.
This is a month of brand new beginnings, re establishing who you are and taking action with what you really want. This is particularly important for those born 3 days either side of August 1st. Any activity done towards a new start now will have a major effect on where you will be in years to come.
Drop the past and refuse to allow it to affect who you are becoming. It’s time to be courageous.
Mid month has the focus on the ‘significant other’ and changes within relationships. Be as truthful as possible otherwise there could be quite a surprise with what could be revealed.
VIRGO
This is a very interesting month for Virgo. The solar eclipse is in your arena of finalising and letting go. This highlights a need to do very little and attend to your quieter more introspective self and entails seeing life more soulfully and from a much larger perspective. This also includes being kind to yourself health wise as well.
With Mars in your sign and Mercury and Venus ready to enter in the second week you may feel the need to get things moving. My advice would be to stay guided intuitively and trust you gut with any action you may need to take.
LIBRA
The solar eclipse this month hones in on your future goals, direction and the groups you associate with to attaining them. You may begin to possess a whole new train of thought concerning where you wish to be in a few years time.
Major changes could start to happen this month as you meet with new groups of people who support your new direction.
Ruler Venus moves into your arena of ‘letting go’ mid month with the lunar eclipse in conjunction to Neptune so allow yourself time to flirt, even “fall in love” but keep you eyes wide open and don’t believe everything you hear.
SCORPIO
The solar eclipse at the beginning of the month sets the stage for some major changes in your career world and public image.
New beginnings and new challenges with work will be on the cards particularly for those born 3 days either side of November 1st. This could mean a change to a more leadership style position or even dealing with a totally new group of people.
The Lunar eclipse on the 17th has the home and family in the midst of shake up. There could be a trust issue brought to light or a long running misunderstanding that now can be resolved.
SAGITTARIUS
This month’s solar eclipse could prove rather favourable for Sagittarius particularly those born a few days either side of December 1st.
A brand new need for adventure and exploration feels very strong. This energy is right up Sagittarius’ alley but there is a definite need to change.
New ideals and new ways to learn will set you in great stead for the years ahead.
The Lunar Eclipse of the 17th brings emphasis to the written word and communication. This could be a great time to begin a journal of your ideas, philosophy and dreams of adventure. It could also manifest as a new start with a sibling.
CAPRICORN
The Solar eclipse has Capricorn experiencing changes and renewals regarding the deepest connections we have with others both financially and emotionally.
This month has the potential to be a good starting point with merging money and or bodies. The most important thing to remember is having ‘truth’ as your goal and to trust your intuition without fail.
The Lunar eclipse on the 17th uncovers your personal security and value system, so don’t kid yourself with things that you would like to believe only because they sound safe.
Don’t be afraid to say no to anything that doesn’t feel right.
AQUARIUS
The eclipses of the month cross the I / Thou axis with the lunar eclipse on the 17th in your own sign.
The beginning of the month begins with a new light shone on relationships. This does not always mean a life partner but all one on one relationship that you share.
You may feel the birth of new ones or a renewal of the current ones, never the less there will be a shift in dynamic. This could prove quite challenging and could open you up to a whole new area of life. It could also prompt a very personal revelation around the 17th regarding what you really want.
PISCES
This month’s solar eclipse brings the attention of Pisces to the body and how to use it. If you were thinking of a new fitness regime or eating plan now is the perfect time. Changing your way of living and being kinder to the vehicle is highly recommended. This also means being aware of how to use your skills and talents as well.
On a very different level it’s best to take the rose coloured glasses off early in the month and see things for what they really are, otherwise what has been hidden could pop out around the Lunar eclipse on the 17th.
