Astrology for August 2006


Some of the signs here have long-term influences. Sagittarius (which is under Pluto), Pisces (under Uranus) and Leo (under Saturn). Scorpio is under Jupiter this year (Jupiter lasts for one year in each sign) and this is usually a good thing, but it is under some other planets influence this month until Oct. And although positive things happen no matter what under this transit, when it is aspected, there are always side issues to contend with.

The good news is that the cardinal signs (Aries - Libra - Cancer - Capricorn) are getting stimulated in pleasant ways, which could be nice. There may be problems, but they may be disregarded in favor of an easy out. There is also the possibility that overindulgence leads and they just follow -- a possible burn out. But what a way to go.

The people that are born in mid-December (Sagittarius) as well as mid-March (Pisces) mid-June (Gemini) and mid-Sept (Virgo) are having some temporary anxiety. This could be even more stressful if you are feeling like you are under so much pressure that you are going to burst. You signs need to unwind the mind. If you are feeling the need to break free of something -- now or never -- please be sure that this is not just the need to escape a problem that is maybe an old issue. You need relaxation, clearing the energy channels, and I would recommend getting out into nature more and connecting with that energy.

Sagittarius has the main burden with having to LET GO of all past habits that do not serve the new self or be forced into it. These people are shedding their old selves big time. Sagittarians can be having a streak of willfulness and righteousness. But it is better for them to just get into feeling what "God's Will" is in their life and to come to a place of acceptance. There are big changes happening and their soul is trying to communicate with them about it. This is more of a long-term thing, lasting years in some cases, because the planet affecting your sign moves so slow. It is really subconscious and comes up slowly yet firmly, like a steam roller.

Pisceans are the next one on the list of havoc in the life, as they have been under the influence of Uranus, another planet that makes you feel like you want to break free of any authority. What Uranus really wants is to help you to become your OWN authority in relationship with Spirit. To become more of your own unique self. Many of the Pisces are wanting to bolt into something new. My advice is to wait and get more information as the impulse will fade. These people are also going through a letting go process. They are being challenged to let go of whatever feelings or issues that have been holding them back and therefore free themselves from any self-inflicted misery. A lot of the lesson for Pisces is to know when to help and how much to give and when to stop helping others (who usually turn out to be energy suckers). This takes up a lot of energy for them.

For those born begin-Feb (Aquarius), begin-May (Taurus), begin-Aug (Leo), begin-Nov (Scorpio) are also having stress. But this little pattern will be around for Sept and part of Oct. A lot longer than for the other previously mentioned signs. These folks are dealing with issues regarding their values, and finding out whether what is presented to them is fact or fiction or just "is". A lot of this energy will be imploding inside these people because they tend to keep an interior existence. The one that needs release the most is Scorpio, as they tend to hold things in way past the time when it needs to come out. For them, there is a great desire to expand, yet it is being contantly brought up against realities that enforce a type of boundary. Aquarius is getting some subtle messages about tightening up, as well. They may be out looking for another cause to join, or looking for a new friend who can provide some info instead of looking within for answers. Or they may have another scheme they are planning for the future.

Leo may be having a hard year. Saturn will be on them for another year before it goes on to Virgo for 2.5 years. When Saturn shows up, it shows all the limitations in our life. So Leos are more acutely aware of any imperfection in themselves or others. They may have issues with health that hold them back in some way. Many times when Saturn comes around we get what we have worked for -- period -- no more no less. We get what we have put out. We also may be seeing things from the glass-is-half-empty perspective, seeing everything that is wrong or could go wrong, instead of what is going well. Beware of that. Attitude is everything. If you are having a situation under Saturn, you need it for you soul growth and maturity. That is all there is to it. And all the foot-stamping and resistance won't change it. This could put a damper on a usually sunny Leo temperment. Leo's like to have fun, and it's hard to have fun when everything seems so serious.

For Scorpios there is some great energy to break free of a lot of patterns involving your value system. There is also the tendency to scatter the energy, so pick and choose your projects and where you place your emotions. And remember that although you are in an expansive frame of mind, this life is an illusion. Know how to separate fact from fiction in your life. Or what is truth for you. There may be unfounded fears. Dreams can come true, but you need to pull your energy away from those things or people that sap your strength. You will be enjoying new energy from strange experiences and people that suddenly plunge into your life and out again. Cancerians too. This is also a good time to ask for assistance or favors from men or those in authority.

Thats all for now. If you need a chart emailed to you, send me your brith DAY, MONTH, YEAR, TIME and BIRTHPLACE. If you dont know the time, then let me know.

Peace
