Astrology August 2020

ARIES You’ve got your Ruling Planet, Mars, front & center now Aries & indeed for the next six Months! Your energy will be best spent on creative endeavours… brainstorming & finding solutions is your forte. Projects started this Month will have their ups & downs for sure, but it’s all about constructing, honing & perfecting. You find yourself happy at home & your “busy busy” will be focused there, rather than being out & about. Toward the end of the Month, You’ll get an opportunity or two to put yourself out there in a completely new & different way, so make sure to look into anything you see as inspiring, fresh & shiny.

TAURUS Realisations & revaluations at the start of the Month may be focused on home & family, Taurus. There may be an inclination to move, but if not, a few around you may be. Last Month there were reconsiderations with regard to your finances & budget & through a different way of planning, hopefully you’ll have some pressure come off you- about time too! Make some time for yourself in August & even if we’re still cooped up, taking a walk around the block will shift a few cobwebs & let fresh air back into your Soul. Speaking of fresh, toward the end of the Month you’ll get some new energy pumped into your Career sector. Put your hand up for any opportunities coming your way.

GEMINI A lot of energy surrounding daily routines & siblings for you at the moment & changes this Month are likely… again! Of everyone, you guys deal well with this bumpy ride we’re on at the moment & you may find yourself a go to person more often than not. Helping everyone put their heads on straight & co-ordinate themselves is a gift you have, so apply it… it’ll keep YOU busy too. Money still probably needs to be juggled, but again, you’re very flexible, sensible & adept, so you’ll come up with efficient ways & means. You’ve got fresh start energy in your “Higher Learning” sector, so you can apply that as you wish… life lessons or actual university type studies are favoured. If you’ve been meaning to sign yourself up for a virtual course or two online? Now’s your time.

CANCER The Sun will be blazing away in the part of your Chart that deals with your value & worth, Cancer. Hopefully you’re going through these crazy times realising just how much you mean to people! Providing heaped servings of chicken soup for the Soul is usually your specialty, but this Month, you may want to pull that back a little, focus on yourself & work out what makes YOU happy in all this. Things at work are likely still shifting & changing & tempers may be running a little hot. Keep your head down & avoid being pulled into the fray as best you can. In the midst of that, you might just be hearing news of a new addition to the family or in close friends lives.That ought to put a smile on your face & bring some happy energy to think about.

LEO Such odd times to be having a Birthday, but here we are, Leo! Even though we’re on unsteady ground, don’t let that get in your way with regard to setting a few shiny intentions for yourself. Personal goals & actions with a focus on who you are in the World can still blossom & grow into the future. Wherever you can make a new & improved version of yourself… diet… exercise… inspiring projects… put a plan in place this Month & watch it catch fire. There’s also lots of new energy in the third week of August surrounding partnerships of all kinds, romantic included. That’s going to add some interest for collaboration & a fresh start sparkle to kick next Month off with. Team up… two heads are better than one! On one hand life may appear slow, on another you can still achieve a lot, so get cracking.

VIRGO How are you going, guys? I believe Team Virgo are a bit exhausted about now. As I’m sure you’re aware, we’re running a marathon & though I wish I could say the World is back on track, I doubt it is! August should give you opportunities to pull back & just be still physically & you’re encouraged to slow your mind as well. Much of your energy has been focused outward & probably you’ve been busy sorting out other peoples lives for them! You’ve got great Cosmic Support now to unhook yourself though. Take the down time, Virgo! Your reflective practices could use some attention instead. Anything that calms & supports YOU should be tapped into. Sure you’ll be shaking your head at me, but the Planets are calling for some play time (yes, PLAY). Too much work makes Jack a dull boy, as the saying goes. Address the imbalance.

LIBRA Even if the World is crazy, August is proving a harmonious Month for you guys! You just have to tap into your supportive energies the right way. Friends & social circles are buzzing, even if we’re still cooped up. But you’ll have slipped into new patterns & ways of communicating with people by now, so use this to your advantage. Any of your charity or humanitarian causes can probably use your support & you’re likely to have a fair amount of motivation to drive partnerships to new levels. The trick is to get things going so you’re both parties are pulling together toward a common goal. Fresh starts & opportunities surround your creativity, or that of your kids around the third week of the Month. Put some longer term projects in place now & watch them blossom ongoing.

SCORPIO Mad World, yes, but even so you guys are favoured career & family wise, with the Sun pumping energy & motivation into these areas of your life. If things have been simmering away under the surface for a while, they’re likely to pop up, issues becoming glaringly obvious in the first week. Now that everything is on the table though, it’ll allow you to apply that lovely transformative energy of yours to get to the root of problems & set things on a better trajectory. By the third week of August, you’ll have opportunity to put in a new foundation & start working things in a far more constructive way, Scorpio! Tables are turning & the latter part of this Year can really see you plough through & get on top of things.Remaining open & flexible is your challenge & your key.

SAGITTARIUS Higher education & learning are charged with the Suns bright light this Month, Sadge, so workshops/tutorials & short course opportunities should abound, be they of the Life Lesson variety or not! In the first week of August you’ve got a few light bulb moments coming & you should start to see clearly what you want for yourself in going forward. Once you get fired up & passionate there’ll be no stopping you, so aim well. Creative endeavours are highly supported, actually for the next few Months. This doesn’t only need to apply to your arty self, it can also be directed toward problem solving & creating all kinds of unusual/novel ways to meet & surpass challenges. Keep your feet on the ground, take care of your day to day tasks of course, but allow yourself some mental space for incoming inspiration.

CAPRICORN The World may still be suspended but as always, Capricorns have got a lot of focus & energy placed on finances & the reordering of any debt or tax issues. Yes! It’s tiresome to have to constantly juggle, but this Month you’ll have switched things up so many times you’re honed & dangerous! Forming a few alliances & partnerships may be something you’ll be persuaded to do this Month too & you’re supported in doing so at the moment. The third week of the Month should open a few more doors for you & the value you personally bring to projects will prove invaluable to others! Take care not to sell yourself short due these crazy times. You’re more equipped than most to navigate through such uncertainty. As usual, pace yourself & this Month you’ll make progress.

AQUARIUS Wanna team up? Lots of energy & opportunity surrounding partnerships for you this Month. Yes, you do usually like to do things on your own & in your own way, Aquarius, but alliances with those of alternative views can bring you some balance… their skill set may be sorely needed. Keeping things flexible & not locking yourself into any static, long term arrangements is your proviso. Collaborating with someone of shared goals & purpose though? Should prove fortunate for all involved. If you’ve been tootling along & not paying much attention to your health lately, the Planets are encouraging you to place some focus there. Eat well, sleep well & investigate some quirky kind of exercise & you’ll be able to slip into a new & improved routine fairly easily toward the end of August. Go for it!

PISCES I always seem to be reminding you guys to put yourselves first & no over-giving, Pisces! This Month won’t prove an exception. This Month you’ve got GREAT Planetary energy if you focus it toward your health & fitness. Usually, your workouts are more of the mind gym ethereal kind, but during August, you’re encouraged to get out of your head & into your physical body & space. You don’t have to put your hand up for anything that feels like a chore, but there are plenty of other ways you can stretch & improve your strength & flexibility. If you get to it? You’ll start feeling MUCH better. Creativity is highlighted too & even if the World is still a fairly unsteady & quite harsh place, if you have at least one light & interesting project to escape into, it will really help lift the heavy.
