August Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Aquarius Horoscope (January 20 - February 18)
Fixed Air. Your ruling planets are Uranus and Saturn.

You are still experiencing everyday miracles, Aquarius. The magic act that is your constant presence in the cosmos continues into the current month. This time around the stars are shining more brightly and opening you up even more boldly to whatever inner dream space realizations you are now ready for. You are going through a tremendous push right now that will illuminate your stuck places but you could find that you have to explore being really mired in the mud before you get there. Never fear, true freedom will eventually emerge and when it does it will be accompanied, paradoxically, by a fuller sense of responsibility also.

As the month begins, you are strong on partnership with others around you. You are reaching out to others in a new way, based in part on changes that you have been going through with regard to your own self-image. This is essentially a very positive time for you, and has been for weeks now, although your feelings of optimism are so strong that they could lead you toward self-deception. There also might be issues of self-worth that could come up for you, triggered by events in this monthly timeframe. If you have been largely unaware of what feelings you might have bubbling beneath the surface, perhaps now is a good time to tune into them. These feelings are often deliberately buried away by an unconscious process, locked up in a time vault so to speak, until such time as it makes sense to reopen them. Although it might seem scary to go to these dark places within you, the rewards are there if you have the courage to face these issues, usually dating from a much earlier period in your life. The Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in your sign, an especially powerful Full Moon, might be a time when many things could become clearer to you, including even these types of issues. This is also a time when the power to go forward could be curtailed somewhat, forced by the limitations that you encounter as you attempt to do so. This is therefore a great time for journaling or for self-exploration. The Last Quarter Moon taking place a week later, on Thursday, August 13th, might provide more food for thought. This is a time when you will be philosophically detached and seeing the drawbacks as well as the positive aspects of what you are in the midst of developmentally at this time, and for this current monthly cycle. It might help to remember that there's opportunity in everything. Even what seems to hold us back has within that difficulty a gem for us to take forward into the next phase. The New Moon that comes along one more week later, taking place on Thursday, August 20th, speaks to you quite powerfully as well, and represents a fresh start with some of these same issues that you have been dealing with up until now. You may be able to take everything that has happened up to now as prolog, leading you to further adventures in connection with significant partners, and more importantly, with yourself.
