August Zodiac Horoscope from Astrology Chick 2006

In early August, more creative solution finding is in order. In the first week of August the Sun tangles with Saturn and Uranus, which could lead to a very public humiliation of a recognized authority figure or leader, bad reputations and scandal abound in this atmosphere – some of which has even been earned by the accused. The Sun-Saturn Eclipse in the First week of August is a warning to all of us. Be wary of institutions of control and domination. My best suggestion is not to sign or start anything important until the 13th The first half of the month is filled with battles of control and power, do I even need to mention the Middle East Crisis? Unresolved and overlooked problems make themselves so very obvious that unless heads are in deep quicksand they will require being dealt with – or backlash will ensue. Perhaps the best thing I can say about this month’s influences is that when systems break down, true leaders find themselves jumping in to rebuild. People in those types of businesses will fare best in August with many opportunities to pick up leftover pieces.

Business opportunities present themselves in the first half of August especially in the areas of patents, Intellectual properties and marketing. But contracts signed this month are better for short-term commitments, not long-range ones – unless they deal with the public or celebrities. Somehow this Month, the geeks have it, and the world finds them sexy (at least more so than usual). So break out your black-rimmed glasses and pocket protectors!

Escalating oil and cost of living prices will hurt some long-term investments by the end of the month. The cost of a head of lettuce begins to get out of hand – this is a good time to plant your own! Precariously balanced structures can’t bear the strain after the 20th. The end of August brings big challenges; I don’t like the earthquake planets (both literally and metaphorically) – forewarned is forearmed. Now is the time to have a crisis plan prepared and do what you can to protect your stability.

Aries (3/21-4/20)– This challenging Saturn Eclipse could actually land you with a promotion, upgrade or other recognition of your hard work and value. But it may come on the heels of problems left by someone else. The best news for you is that all month Mars hangs out in well-behaved, healthy and restrained Virgo. A new exercise or health program would work wonders for you this month, and Virgo’s influence may even curb the enthusiasm for war in the Middle East. End Aug with long-range solutions, you will be able to see the forest AND the trees then.

Taurus (4/21-5/21)– Teamwork, timing and organization gets it done in August, so build up your connections and don’t for a minute think that you could or should do it alone. Mid August is the time to solve nagging problems and limitations. August 13 is a day filled with such a huge and intense amount of information and busy-ness that you need a rest after it all! The world might seem to have gone topsy-turvy – at least temporarily. Try to remember that chaos precedes clarity and direction and take advantage of the fuss by taking care of yourself. When Venus joins Saturn on the 26th-27th a sense of restriction, budgets and limitations prevail. So squirrel away your money early in the month to provide a needed cushion at month’s end.

Gemini (5/22-6/22)– Timing and planning is everything for August opportunities. Budgets and strategies are most important now, especially if you intend to find a way to succeed in the currently unstable environment. You’re both in the chips – and in the middle of all the action around August 12-13. The scenario I imagine has you sitting at a high stakes poker table for 30+ hours straight while an entire revolution takes place on the TV screen. You are mesmerized by the events, but glued to your winning hands. After you win the tournament, you step out into a much-changed world and face a set of unexpected hurdles later in the month as personal problems or connection to difficult events arrives in your own living room. Set those extra chips aside for a while and wait for a good opportunity to use them.

Cancer (6/23-7/22)– Full Moon/New Moon: Aug 9 Aquarius/Aug 23 Virgo. Some shared responsibility ends in Early Aug leading to new neighbors, co-workers or news about siblings. If you choose to make a move the first week of August is NOT a good time to start a financial commitment or job, unless of course you enjoy the idea of becoming a slave to your job/car payment/mortgage/ fill-in-the-blank. You are much better off waiting another week – a few days of limbo could actually be fun after all, especially when playing the Mambo…. The New Moon in Virgo should bring psychological healing to a communication issue or problem that has been plaguing you. Perhaps you could even resolve some sibling rivalry or problems with co-workers or neighbors. Everybody needs a little bundle of love at home, is it time for a new Pet?

Leo (7/23-8/22)– Take extra care in early August, I don’t like to scare anybody, but this Saturn Eclipse is very nasty – so take extra steps to safeguard yourself, and your image. Your reputation could get tarnished, or at the very least people are inclined to misinterpret you this week and forgiveness is hard to get. Depending on your actual Birth Date, problems could range from trouble sleeping to an unexpected betrayal or act of underhanded aggression from someone to your own self-driven attitudes taking you to the edge of your own limitations. Now is a very good time to examine those driving, controlling and unkind voices and do the hard work of exorcising them from your life and your inner consciousness. Fortunately you have loved ones around you and family is supportive late August. Loving kindness heals all.

Virgo (8/23-9/22)— Enlist financial support early August, but wait to sign contracts. A deal with a ‘big gun’ is promising, but pay close attention to any strings that come attached to the deal. Bigger isn’t always better, especially when the ‘big’ guy wants to push the ‘little guy’ around. Bullying in all forms is rampant in the world in the first week of August, so be on guard. You can get the support and teamwork you need though, especially if you protect your status and value, placing an accent on good service, health and well-being, as you usually do. Sometimes those who work hard and care for others must demand respect for it – and this might be the case for you in August. Take extra care after Aug 19 – new beginnings are delicate.

Libra (9/23-10/22)– Worries, concerns over career only limit you – think bigger. If anyone has an awareness of the problems uncovered by the Saturn Eclipse early in August it is you, and you have some solutions in mind too. It is time to put your famous diplomacy to the test – because now it is sorely needed. And you can really shine as the peacemaker and bridge builder, especially through calm negotiation and discussion. Of course, you’ll have to carry a gun to the shootout, but I know you, and you will be able to charm them all into putting down their weapons. Don’t sign up for more work than you can (or should) handle around the 26th-27th when pressures are at their toughest.

Scorpio (10/23-11/22)– Your star is rising in August - keep your energy up to meet the demands on your time – people will listen and give you respect. But be careful about it too, the sword of Damacles cuts both ways. You may have truth, power and the law behind you, but if you don’t wield it carefully you could get cut yourself. Information, knowledge and wisdom of a deeper level is probably moving through you into the world now; but giving birth to such a thing may be very painful. Make sure you take plenty of time for yourself and your own needs. Even when Jonah was taking down the whale he rested for a minute or two on occasion. You’ll get your whale, no doubt about it.

Sagittarius (11/23-12/22)– The Saturn Eclipse won’t really hurt you, actually, it could provide you with rewards for past efforts and a sudden status item or goodie. Just don’t be unsympathetic to the problems of others. What may appear as great good luck and opportunity for you now, may also come at the expense of someone else. I’m not saying you shouldn’t take it, I am just reminding you to give back and remember next time the roles could be reversed, After Aug 8 you’re on a roll with teammates and you all get a lot done. Communication/short trips are rewarding mid August. Your optimism and way of expressing yourself is well-received now too, so you can influence people and get things done. Finish up public/internet projects by the end of August for best results.

Capricorn (12/23-1/21)– Early Aug. brings pressure from an imposing personality and possible ownership conflicts. But you’re no pushover, and the Eclipse shows you how to speak out and be taken seriously – especially if this has been difficult for you in the past. Either that or you find yourself at a crises point where you absolutely have no other choice than to deal with critical or cruel inner dialogue and be done with it once and for all. This could be caused by crisis, but will lead to healing. Be careful in communication and negotiations as August ends. A one-man-band focus will not work now, you must look at the needs of the many if you intend to get anywhere.

Aquarius (1/22-2/20)– Early August may not be a picnic for you, but you will get thgouth it by the 13th. Karmic partnership issues are on the table for you before that, and you can resolve them with a good attitude or a bad one. Taking responsibility for yourself and your actions will free you from the Karmic burden Saturn represents now. Otherwise, challenges get compounded. But the good news is that you finally begin to be able to break through the big obstacles by the end of the month. Aug. ends with you able to get a message out in a large way, you could even sway the masses.

Pisces (2/21-3/19)– Something connected to your business dealings or shared finances create an impassable obstacle in early August. Issues and questions of authority and control emerge now. Try to remember that the only useful control is that which provides more freedom for more people. A clash of wills or power struggle is not going to serve you or anybody else in the long run. A specific career opportunity peaks late July/early August, Aug 10 is a day when long-term plans flower, use it wisely. After the flower something begins to go to seed. The end of August brings pressures, and philosophical conflict. It could be time to re-invent yourself.
