![]() Aries – (March 20 – April 19)Although one long held dream has faded, another will take its place. You knew all along that this was coming; now, wrap up any loose ends which need attention, especially lingering legal details. You might be tempted to throw the baby out with the bathwater – no need for that. What you have brought forth is a real child of your creativity and imagination; and one which is now free of illusions. Yes, there is much work ahead; but know that the Universe is on your side. With so many planets in Leo early in August, life should be all fun and games – but this month, it’s more of an introduction to fire-walking. Walk cautiously on the 6th when Uranus opposing Mars facilitates a blistering misstep. Be brave, and trust. Taurus – (April 20 – May 20)The events of this month will reverberate in your life for years to come; your keyword is “change”, so get used to the idea. Changes are developing in how you experience your world, where you live and work, your friends; all are up for review and revision. The good news is that these changes are not malefic. Venus and Jupiter completing a grand earth trine to your sign during the Full Moon of August 16th assure a bright future – it just feels weird for now. If you’ve also been feeling a bit isolated, appreciate the quite times, because they won’t last. There are forces at play which will soon be drawing you into new arenas; prepare to meet these challenges head on by using your Taurean horns to lift and assist, not pierce and destroy. Gemini – (May 21 – June 20)The law of conservation of matter and energy states that “energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can change form.” Or, look at it this way – you’ll get back what you have been giving. You can judge your own life by this law of matter now, and hopefully you are overwhelmed by goodness and joy. Sometimes we must initiate corrections for past actions. Think about where you lie on this continuum; you have an opportunity, even an obligation, to make it better. Trust your gut feelings on the 6th when someone stretches the truth into an unlikely fairy tale. Delicate issues are well addressed on the 9th, be sure of the facts on the 15th. You are called upon for an impromptu public appearance on the 17th – plan your message in advance. Cancer – (June 21 – July 21)Information transforms into money, Cancer. It may take some months for everything to solidify, but you are surrounded by opportunity. Old sources of income are fading away, but new and even more lucrative ones will appear soon. Do not allow yourself to be misled, on the 6th, when Mercury and Neptune in opposition create a huge gap for misunderstandings. And, on the 22nd, watch out for a curve ball- best to let that one go. Otherwise, this month, casual conversations open doors which you may have never noticed on your own. Newspaper articles also contain an entry pass to King Solomon’s mine. Just maintain your natural active nature, keep your eyes and ears open wide, and you are in the zone. Leo – (July 22 – August 22)Leo’s host this year’s semi-annual solar eclipse which takes place on August 1st. Thank you for sharing your space. Perhaps the greatest point of interest for you has been the way in which your relationships are transforming. Issues which have been confusing for so long are clearing up; being healed, really. There are still some uncomfortable scars which need a bit more time, and at least one dream which turned into a nightmare. Time is your ally in this season. Your grand vision is all encompassing, and it cannot be hurried. You are impatient and impulsive on the 6th. Changes are coming, but consider possible losses- someone is withholding critical information. You are most persuasive on the 20th and 21st; ask for what you want and expect to get it by the 27th, when the Moon is again in your sign. Virgo – (August 23 – September 22)Yes, Virgo, good to be you! Mars traveling through your sign until he enters Libra on the 19th has added a nice boost to your vitality, (although both Neptune and Saturn are placing long term stressors on your health.) Plus, Jupiter in fellow earth sign Capricorn has been forming a favorable trine to yours. With Jupiter expanding your 5th solar house of creativity and play, did you know that you are supposed to be having fun now? (Just a reminder) Yes, there are some nagging details which demand attention. Procrastination is completely futile in this arena; these are longstanding pools of sullied water which must be flushed and readied for an infusion of crystal clear liquid light. On an energetic level, this is really the source of, and remedy for your health issues. Libra – (September 23 – October 21)The Universe is creating an opening for something wonderful, but you may first have to face some secrets this month, Libra. Venus and Saturn join forces in your house of karma on the 13th, and then on the 15th, Mercury delivers the news. It may be the loss of an old love, or having to give up something from your past. This type of action is always clearing the plate for something new. So, just pay attention to what happens, and remember that you are being set free on the deepest level. As you let go gracefully, the two benefics of astrology, Venus and Jupiter greet you with a graceful trine on the 16th, lending ease and joy to those who can allow their infusion. Scorpio – (October 22 – November 21)Maybe you don’t want to change, Scorpio. Just leave everything as it is; career – ok; home – love it; self – adorable. That’s all good, but can you just allow yourself to imagine a larger dream? The good news is that the changes do not happen overnight; many will take place over the next 6 months, and even more powerful ones are scheduled for the next 2 years. Helpers arrive on cue; each one perfect to assist in exactly the right way. Soon you will learn to trust and actually lean on others for help from time to time. Expect good news on the 21st, and have fun but keep it light on the 23rd. Sagittarius – (November 22– December 20)Have you signed up for that class yet? Find your new inspiration on the 9th. You could start with something light, like parasailing. While gliding through the air, you can think about who and what you really want to be. That might get you into the groove of learning new skills, which in turn boosts your income, and propels your career to new heights doing work you love. Not a bad scenario; and it fits you well from an astrological point of view. You find new playmates on the 23rd – someone stimulating who can propel you outside the realm of your usual world. Will it last – probably not, but it’ll shake you up and give you lots to think about. Capricorn – (December 21 – January 19)The rumbling you hear is the sound of earth shaking changes which will shape your world in the upcoming year. Some will manifest in a brief second, and others will form slowly but surely. Blessings come in many forms, although some of them will appear distorted upon first glance. Don’t believe all that you hear on the 6th when someone conceals an ulterior motive. With the solar eclipse of August 1st taking place in your 8th house of depth and intensity, think about which part of your life you wish to transform. You do have free will choice, as well as respect and support from friends. Best of all, you are well protected, and Sprit sings a resounding “yes!” Admit it; you’re ready for these changes, and know that you just need a nudge to make them happen. Aquarius – (January 20 – February 17)It’s time to dig out those old soul songs, and dance to Aretha Franklin’s anthem, “RESPECT.” Yeah, baby; you’ve got what they need, but you need to get what you want, too! The beauty of this scenario is that your needs are fulfilled, but planetary aspects around the Full Moon lunar eclipse on the 15th and 16th indicate that you have to first set somebody straight. Don’t give in, but if possible, hold off until Sunday the 17th which is a much better day to address troubling issues; you’re in a better mood, and other people are more receptive. The 23rd holds both promise and excitement; the mood may not last, but you’ll have a wonderful time thinking about it, and some fond memories. Pisces – (February 18 – March 19)If somebody has let you down recently, consider it a karmic payback, and move on. A casual conversation on the 19th opens up new vistas for the upcoming months. One of the wonderful things about our fast paced lives is that one can sometimes work through years of karma in a matter of days. You have a great opportunity to observe the inner working of your own psyche through the actions of others this month, Pisces. Each time you encounter resistance through a partner, co-worker, child, or other associate – just ask “what does this have to say about me?” You are surrounded by a diaphanous display of perfect mirrors – each one revealing something dark and mysterious about yourself. This is a noble work to take on, and even if you don’t believe it, pretend for just one day. Practicing this type of awareness makes you clear and it increases your personal power – an advantage which will assist you greatly in the near future. ©Maya White / www.WhiteStarAstrology.com |
