August 2008 Astrology
August AstroTalk
Well finally, the Sun is in Leo and it is time to shine!! Mind the new moon on Aug 1st and use it to your full advantage. It will be close to Mercury (and the sun of course), the messenger planet, so be careful not to speak too loud or proud. However, using it along with the powerful solar eclipse to get all those secret creative desires in full swing is a perfect way to go. Nurture those babies of the mind until after the full moon in Aquarius on the 16th. Then let them blossom in the public eye as they may.
Until the 6th there will be 3 planets, the Sun, Mercury, and Venus, all is Leo. Be careful not to make hasty romantic decisions. Wait till after that, when Venus comes in close, personal contact with Saturn, the planet of restriction and structure, in the sign of Virgo. The sign of pragmatic thought. They will be paired up until about the 22nd, when the Sun goes into Virgo. Don't let that restrictive pairing cause a cold shoulder though, or cause too much caution. Just take your time. Leo likes to rush into romance, don't let the tail wag the cat!!
A word about the Mars/Uranus opposition happening through August until the 19th. This can affect relationships harshly due to its affect on how we react to each other. Handling this harsh aspect requires patience. Do not let misunderstandings cause sudden and unnecessary endings. Both these planets feed on aggression in their negative expression. So, before you decide to walk, make sure you have a good talk. Running is probably NOT the answer during this period.
About that sun transition into Virgo on the 22nd. On that same day Venus and Mercury will pair up to provide us all with the ability to make practical and sound plans for the future. As long as we don't over think every little detail. Remember though, with Saturn in Virgo leave no cobwebs in the corner. Dwelling on minutiae and making sure all things are considered, (yes that means the stuff we would rather ignore!), are two totally different things. Procrastination and ignorance are not tolerated with this planetary position. Happy planning!!
