Aries – (March 20 – April 19)

Peace is the rallying call for our New Age; both on a global and personal level. Recognize that what you see expressed in your external world is a clear and accurate mirror of your internal state. There is simply no other place to go with this reflection so you might as well own it.

Then you can figure out what you need to be truly happy, and at peace. Mercury retrograde after the 20th can work in your favor as a quiet time and space to rework and refine a long held dream. Patience is the keyword, and persistence is the way.

Taurus – (April 20 – May 20)

Remain constant and steady, Taurus. Any disturbances coming your way are simply clever but unimportant diversions. You will encounter several bumps in the road now, but keep your eye on the prize. Your power mantra for August is:  simple, sweet, and easy.

The real test of this month is not in how you respond to outlandish problems, it is how you maintain stability and achieve your long term goals. This is an opportune time to take a course and gain necessary new skills – the ones you have been thinking about for so long, but putting off doing.

Gemini – (May 21 – June 20)

Your ability to negotiate and compromise will be tested the month, Gemini. It feels like everybody is getting what they want, but you are the facilitator. The important question then becomes: ‘to what degree are you an enabler?’ The Full Moon of August 24th sheds a bright light on how other people see you.

Thinking about a career change? This is a prime time for launching a new craft to sustain your long voyages. Your thoughts are a deep as the ocean, and your desires are moving through you like waves; prepare for a high tide which will inspire a new era for your life.

Cancer – (June 21 – July 21)

Although your sign is one of a soft inside protected by a coat of armor, it’s now safe to let your guard down. Allow the energies of August 7th and 8th to penetrate you to the core. Cellular debris and memories can be swept away, and new imprints are calling for your acceptance.

The secret it that you must be open in a way that is uncomfortable; you just have to let go. And, the next part of this spiritual mystery is that you are so ready and able to take on this new level of vulnerability, because it is what will bring you to a point of great strength and power.

Leo – (July 22 – August 22)

Happy Birthday, Leo! I predict a fortuitous year ahead filled with sunny days and true friends. Your energy is free and clear, and you move into a sense of security with your ‘tribe,’ those people who may not be blood relatives, but are so much like you.

The hold up in your efforts towards free flow will be in regards to financial affairs. It’s best to face that big hassle now rather than try to sweep it under the carpet. Work on a new presentation regarding previous challenges. Then, you can release the past in a way that it cannot ever return to haunt you.

Virgo – (August 23 – September 22)

Manifestation is sometimes easier said than done. Many of the self help gurus want to tell you how to do ‘it,’ yet they do not have mastery themselves. You are engaging a new era of personal power and creative ability.

Mercury is retrograde in your sign August 20 – Sept 13th – this is a long one, so remain strategic regarding your personal efforts. You may feel frustration regarding timing, and how to get your message across. Misunderstandings are not only possible, but likely. Use August to consolidate and refine; you are manifesting the base of your pyramid of power.

Libra – (September 23 – October 21)

It seems as though the Universe wants you in a different space, and that heaven and earth will rearrange their natural order to accommodate the change. The ‘space’ might be in your inner realm – how you feel; or, it will be your actual residence.

The good news is that you know exactly what is going on; there are no more hidden agendas or long suffering silences. Meet any challenges head on and with the full energy of your vitality and essence. A secret admirer reveals his or her presence now, enjoy the attention, because every once in a while the real thing come along.

Scorpio – (October 22 – November 21)

Use this month to synthesize your recent changes and take the opportunity to complete the crossword puzzle of recent months. Shift and flow with day to day events, and strive to make each day a radiant blossom.

Don’t allow events early in the month to distract you from living each day in the most peaceful and rich way that you can envision. Rather, enlarge your scope of what is possible for your life now. Even though it is mid- summer, do not waste the days in meaningless fluff; rather, take on a well defined project. Keep it light but stay focused, and your small gains grow into major strides.

Sagittarius – (November 22– December 20)

Freedom and your ability to fulfill your passions is on the front burner now, Sag. At first the hooks felt like those on a cat’s tongue- manageable and soft. But the kitty has grown into a full sized lion. The New Moon of August 9th in Leo is the purr-fect time to release your inner cat.

You simply cannot pretend that you don’t care. The Full Moon of August 24th illuminates your core values; it’s time to open the door and shed light on all that you have held inside. Mercury retrograde after the 20th is working to share your private life with the public, anyway.

Capricorn – (December 21 – January 19)

August is your month to move energy, Capricorn. If it’s fear that has been stalling your efforts, look it in the face and shift into high gear. You have a choice; move ahead like a funny car going in circles, or be a sleek drag racer ready to break records. The funny car is at risk of crashing into others; why not just take your place in the lineup of those moving towards a clear goal.

If it takes tunnel vision to find the light, put on your kaleidoscope glasses and focus on the prize. Perhaps it would be easier if you didn’t have to fulfill the process by taking action; but this is our lot as manifestors on earth. The best images are viewed in living color.

Aquarius – (January 20 – February 17)

You may feel a strange detachment this month; it’s as if you were watching your life from a vantage point. Befriend this curious state of mind, because it can hold the key to your manifestation of something very real and long lasting.

It is sometimes difficult to maintain balance when walking on the high mountain divide; one side is in the shadow and the other is of the Light. The power you need lies within your body, not your mind. Turn and face the shadow; it will grant you passage. Aquarians know many things; but now you become wise by incorporating what other people can teach you.

Pisces – (February 18 – March 19)

Although your sign is often willing to ‘let go and let God’, this month you must step up to the altar of self determination; if you do not, somebody else will take it on and you may not like their choices. In fact, someone may sneak in the back door and try to claim your glory if you are not paying attention. This is something very dear that you have been working on for a long time!

There is also a financial opportunity coming into fruition; however, you must pay attention to every detail of any contract you sign. Best day to make this commitment is the 17th, before Mercury turns retrograde on the 20th.
