AUGUST 2020 HOROSCOPES
Aries
On July 2, Saturn moved back into Capricorn - a stressful aspect for you. Happily this is brief. It will last only until December. After that Saturn will move into Aquarius for the long term. So health becomes more delicate. Make sure to get enough rest. Mars will be in your sign all month. This will make you even more Aries-like that you already are. You become a Super Aries. You want action. You want things done is a hurry. You chafe at delays. Yet, with retrograde activity still strong this month, there will be many delays. The pace of life is slow. So, patience is the main lesson. Do whatever is possible to do, and then let go and trust in a Higher Power. Everything will work out in the end. With your 10th house of career very strong (and its been that way for some years now) your career pulls you and demands your attention, yet Mars in your sign urges you to follow your personal interests and these two are in conflict. So you have to balance them. With so many retrogrades (50% of the planets from the 15th onwards) you might as well take a vacation. You’re in the midst of a yearly personal pleasure peak. Time for fun. Not much happening in the world. You won’t miss out on much. Love and finance are more complicated after the 7th. Venus the planet that rules these areas is receiving stressful aspects. Earning will come but you have to work harder for them. The same is true with love.
Taurus
Health needs more watching this month. But after the 22nd you should see a dramatic turnaround - major improvement. In the meantime do your best to maintain high energy levels, eat right and massage the neck, throat and hips. Emotional harmony is very important healthwise from the 7thonwards. The two planets involved with love are still retrograde, so love is complicated. Avoid making major love decisions, one way or another, this month. Work to attain clarity. Love might be slower but its there. Your 4th house of home and family is very strong this month. So the focus is on family and your emotional wellness. Now that Saturn has moved out of your 10th house of career it is less important - less of a focus - than in previous months. This is a period for making psychological progress - for creating the psychological infrastructure that will support career goals later on. There are many retrogrades this month (50% from the 15th onwards), but finance seems unaffected. Your financial planet, Mercury, is moving speedily. This shows confidence and someone who covers a lot of ground. Until the 5th Mercury is in your 3rd house emphasizing the need for good marketing, PR and advertising. From the 5th to the 20th it shows a more daring speculative attitude. You spend more on children and children figures and they can be factors in your earnings as well. From the 20th onwards you seem more conservative in finance and prosperity is strongest that period. There will be a Grand Tine in the Earth signs from the 20th onwards. This is very comfortable for you both healthwise and in finance. Management decisions will be sound.
Gemini
The night side - lower half - of your Horoscope is about as strong as it will get this year. Your career planet, Neptune is retrograde. Your 4th house of home and family gets powerful from the 20th onwards. A clear message. Career issues need time to resolve, focus on the home, family and your emotional wellness. Though there are many retrogrades this month, you seem happy. Health is good. There is only one long term planet stressing you out. After the 22nd however, health needs more watching. Nothing serious afoot, just short term stress caused by short term planets. Enhance the health through back and knee massage, safe sex and sexual moderation. No need to make major changes to the health regime just year. Your health planet is still retrograde. Finances should be good as well. Though you are no longer in a yearly financial peak, the money house is still active. Until the 5th Mercury, the Lord of your Horoscope, is in the money house - a positive signal. You have the appearance of wealth, people see you this way, this is the image you project. On the 7th Venus enters the money house and stays there for the rest of the month ahead. This gives an excellent financial intuition and a speculative bent. Your personal creativity seems more marketable this period. You spend on children and children figures and the youth market seems very interesting for those of you who invest. A good period to explore the spiritual dimensions of wealth. Those of you who already understand this will experience “miracle money” this month.
Cancer
Now that Saturn has moved back into a stressful aspect with you, health needs more watching these days. If you feel tired, rest. If you’re working out and feel pain or stress, take a break. Be mindful of the messages the body sends you. Enhance the health with thigh, back and knee massage. Also massage the reflex to the liver. Though overall energy could be better, many nice things are happening. You’re still in the midst of a yearly financial peak until the 22nd. The month ahead is prosperous. On the 22nd the financial planet moves into your 3rd house. This shows the importance of communication skills in finance. Important to get the word out about your product or service. It favors trading - buying and selling. Venus enters your sign on the 7th and stays there for the rest of the month. This shows many things. The personal appearance shines. You emanate and energetic grace. You dress more stylishly. Your demeanor is more harmonious. The opposite sex takes notice. Love is still complicated. Someone new is now in the picture for singles. With your 7th house of love chock full of planets, the problem is more about who to select. There are many opportunities. Too much can be as confusing as too little. Mars will spend the month in your 10th house of career. This is his own sign and house and he is strong in this position. So the career is active and successful. You are more aggressive here. Perhaps too combative.
Leo
The pace of life is slow these days as retrograde activity is still very strong. But you seem unaffected personally and financially. Health is excellent this month. Saturn moved away from his stressful aspect on July 2. Only Uranus is in stressful aspect with you. Your 1st house is powerful until the 22nd. This shows personal independence. You get your way in life. You look great. Your natural star quality is greatly enhanced with the Sun in your sign. A great period (until the 22nd) to get the body in the shape that you want. Also good to enjoy all the pleasures of the body. The month ahead is prosperous too. Mercury, your financial planet, is moving speedily this month. He will move through 3 signs and house of your Horoscope. There is good financial confidence. Financial decisions are made quickly. You cover a lot of financial ground. On the 5th Mercury enters your sign which is a great signal of prosperity. Windfalls happen. Financial opportunity seeks you out. The money people in your life seem devoted to you and in you are seen by others as a “money person” - you dress the part. Just go about your business and the cosmic affluence will find you. Wealth gets even stronger from the 20th onwards as Mercury enters your money house on the 20th and the Sun on the 22nd. This shows focus. And, by the spiritual law, we get what we focus on. Financial thinking and decision making are excellent from the 20th onwards. Your financial planet is part of a beautiful Grand Trine in the earth signs. Enjoy.
Virgo
Though other people and their good graces are very important to you - you are in a period of maximum personal independence for the year. You’ve had years where you were more independent, but for this year, this is the max. So, if there are changes to be made, make them. Others are more likely to give in to you now. Health is excellent all month but will get even better from the 20th onwards. 60% and sometimes 70% of the planets will be in earth signs - your native element. Your naturally good management abilities and practical sense are stronger than usual. It tends to “ease” on the physical level. Finance is a mixed bag this month. Until the 7th your financial planet occupies your 10th house of career. This often shows pay raises (official or unofficial) and the financial favor of bosses, parents, parent figures and authority figures. Your good career reputation brings financial increase. On the 7th your financial planet moves into your 11th house. This shows the financial favor of friends. Very good to get involved with trade and professional organizations too. Online activities are good as well. You can be spending more on technology but also earning from this field. Though Venus is stressfully aspected after the 7th she is in a benefic house (the 11th). Thus prosperity is happening but you’re working harder for it. Your love planet is still retrograde (and this has been the case for some months now), so be patient in love. There is nothing wrong with you or your love life. Its just a period for review. Things are happening behind the scenes.
Libra
Now that Saturn has moved back in to a stressful aspect with you (July 2) and Mars has joined the party, health needs more watching. This is a temporary situation. You have passed through the worst of the Saturn transit. By mid December it will be gone. In the meantime watch the energy levels, have your feet massaged regularly and apply spiritual healing techniques. If you feel under the weather a spiritual type healer can help you. In spite of lower than usual energy, many nice things are happening. Venus, the Lord of your Horoscope, will enter your 10th house of career on the 7th and stay there for the rest of the month ahead. This shows personal success. You are elevated, honored, appreciated - not just for your professional skills, but for who you are and you’re overall demeanor. Personal appearance seems important in career. Love is active this month, but probably needs more work. You and the spouse, partner or current love interest seem in disagreement. He or she seems very self centered these days, and you seem elevated - above it all. Perhaps overly focused on your career and public image. But this is not serious and time will resolve these issues. The month ahead is a strong social month - both romantically and with friendships. Your 11th house of friends is powerful until the 22nd. So new and interesting friends are coming into the picture and there is more involvement with already established friendships. Children and children figures in your life are having a strong social month as well - with them it seems more romantic. Marriage though is not likely (or advisable). Finances are good but slower than usual. Your financial planet is still retrograde. Continue to seek clarity in this area before making important financial decisions. On the 22nd your 12th house of spirituality becomes powerful so it is good to focus on your spiritual practice and studies. Spiritual healing is an interesting study these days.
Scorpio
Now that Saturn has moved away from his stressful aspect with you overall health is much better. But there is some short term stress caused by the short term planets. This will pass from the 22nd onwards. In the meantime make sure to get enough rest and enhance the health with scalp and face massage and exercise. You’re in a prosperous period, but the retrograde of your financial planet suggests more caution. Avoid major investments or purchases now. If you must do these things, do more homework. Retrograde activity is still strong this month - 50% of the planets are retrograde from the 15th onwards. So the pace of life is slower. However, your career seems unaffected and is successful. You’re in the midst of a yearly career peak until the 22nd. Your career planet, the Sun, never goes retrograde. So things are moving forward there. Finances might be slower than usual but prosperity is still happening - especially from the 22nd onwards. You have a sound sense of material values. Management decisions will be good. Your financial planet, though retrograde, is receiving wonderful aspects. Uranus, your family planet, starts to retrograde on the 15th, so important home projects should be avoided. This is a time for more clarity in these matters. If you must make a repair or some other important decision do it before the 15th. Love is a bit stressful this month. Perhaps the spouse, partner or current love is having a difficult time. The problem might not be in the relationship, but in the challenges that he or she is having.
Sagittarius
A happy month ahead. Health is good as almost all the long term planets are either in harmonious aspect or leaving you alone. The short term planets are in harmony with you. You have plenty of energy and can achieve whatever you set your mind to do. After the 22nd health is temporarily more stressful. Nothing serious just short term stress caused by short term planets. Not enough to cause serious problems. So after the 22nd rest and relax more. You can enhance the health further through right diet and emotional harmony. You’ve been in a strong financial year and this is the case in the month ahead. Only the planets involved with finances are retrograde, so things are a bit slow. Perhaps there are glitches and delays involved. But these things won’t stop earnings. Your 9th house is very strong this month - until the 22nd. This is your favorite house. The cosmos urges you to do the things that you most like to do - travel, learn, study higher things, explore religion and philosophy. Mars the Lord of your 5th house of fun, creativity and children will be in your 5th house (his own house and sign) all month. He is powerful here. This shows a fun filled month ahead. (You do have to balance between fun and your financial responsibilities - they seem in conflict.) On the 22nd the Sun enters your 10th house of career and you begin a yearly career peak. Much success - much progress is happening. Probably there is career related travel too. Love should also be happy. Mercury moves ultra fast this month. On the 20th he will cross your Midheaven and enter your 10th house of career. This shows focus. Much of your socializing is career related.
Capricorn
Saturn moved back into your sign on July 2. Those of you born late in the sign of Capricorn (January 19-20) will feel this strongest but all of you will feel it to some degree. There is a tendency to pessimism and to over control things. You need to lighten up a bit things will improve later in the year. The good thing about this transit is that it strengthens your already strong management and organizational skills. This will boost the career. It helps the finances too as the financial judgement is very down to earth and solid. This can stress the love life though. The spouse, partner or current love is not an employee and you need a softer tone with him or her. Venus will be in your 7th house of love from the 7th onwards. For singles this shows a happy romantic opportunity – but keep in mind what we said above. This doesn’t seem like a serious romance, more in the nature of a love affair. This person could be involved in your career or someone you meet through your career. Health needs more watching this month but by the 22nd you should see dramatic improvement. In the meantime rest and relax more, make sure to eat right until the 5th, give more attention to the heart from the 5th to the 20th and then to the intestines from the 20th onwards. Uranus, your financial planet will go retrograde on the 15th and this will go on for many more months. You can’t stop all financial activity, but you can study things more and work to refine your financial goals. The power in your 8th house until the 22nd makes this an excellent month for detox and weight loss regimes. If repairs or renovations are needed in the home, this is a good month for it.
Aquarius
Saturn in your sign the past few months was giving you a foretaste of things to come. As of July 2 he is out of your sign and back in Capricorn. Your burdens seem lighter – temporarily. You get a breather. Be ready to pick them back up in December when Saturn moves back into your sign. Health still needs watching until the 22nd. There is nothing serious afoot only the short term stresses of the short term planets. So, as always, make sure to get enough rest. Enhance the health with right diet and a positive emotional attitude. The good news is that you seem focused on health this month. You’re paying attention. Health and energy will dramatically improve from the 22nd onwards. Love is the main headline this month. You’re still in the midst of a yearly love and social peak until the 22nd. The opportunities are out there for singles. For those already in a relationship there is more party going and socializing in general. For singles the problem in love is you. You are not sure of what you want. Romantic opportunities happen in the usual places – parties, weddings, gatherings, resorts and places of entertainment. The element of earth becomes very strong from the 20th onwards. (Its been strong all year, but gets even stronger after the 20th. ) 60 % and sometimes 70% of the planets will be in earth signs. While this is good for finance, it is not so comfortable in other areas. People are not interested in ideas or intellectual interests (your strong point) – people are interested in practical things. On the other hand this is a time where people with your gifts are needed most.
Pisces
Your 6th house of health has been powerful since July 22 and is still very strong until the 22nd of this month. So health is a major focus. This will stand you in good stead for later in the month when health needs more watching. Enhance the health with chest massage and massage of the heart reflex until the 22nd. After the 22nd enhance the health with massage of the lower abdomen. Job seekers have good opportunities this month and even those already employed will have opportunities for side jobs or overtime. Earning power is very strong this month as your Mars, your financial planet, will be in your money house all month. This is one of his strongest positions – he is in his own sign and house. However, Mars is receiving stressful aspects. So, I read this as prosperity but with much work involved. On the 22nd as the Sun moves into your 7th house you begin a yearly love and social peak. There are romantic opportunities for singles. Those already in a relationship will socialize more than usual. The problem for singles is really you. With Neptune still retrograde, the opportunities are there – people want you – but you’re not sure of what you want. So, enjoy love for what it is and don’t project too far in the future. Therapists, doctors and healers seem particularly alluring. There are opportunities with people involved in your health or work. The area of friendships is mixed. Bittersweet. There is happiness with friends but also some disappointments.
