August Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Aries Horoscope (March 21 - April 19)
Cardinal Fire. Your ruling planet is Mars.

This is a really big month for you, Aries. You are engaged at this time in massive reassessment and joyful recognition of your full potential. Excited by your prospects, and coming into a more compassionate stance with all your kin - which includes everybody - you are also perhaps feeling somewhat confused over your current role. It's hard to match the numinous possibility with real-world practicality, even though you've been wrestling with that very question for weeks now, but you are beginning to manage it.

As the month begins, you are making an important evolutionary movement from serious and somewhat stuck commitment to your own issues toward a more expansive involvement with the world around you. This is a time of shake-up in your personal agenda, a time which will shoot you through a cannon over the next few weeks. You will land on your feet but the scenery around you will be irrevocably changed. The initial signs of this transition will manifest in this current monthly timeframe as a profound and fertile confusion regarding goals and life path. Your basic beliefs may even be called into question, or at least to a thorough-going revision, by the time that this month ends. These feelings may come to a crux around the time of the Leo New Moon, taking place on Sunday, August 12th. Then you are stargazing into your future with a new idea in mind, and finding the fluidity in your ego involvement after all, where recently only the hard outer crust was visible. There may be relationship issues to be worked out at this time, which in the end may help to define the direction that your higher self intends for you now, and the road you must travel to get there, as Venus continues to retrograde through Virgo and back into your self-expression sector over the next few weeks. By the time of the First Quarter Moon of August 20th you will be trying to settle down with these radically new perspectives in mind, and finding the places where the fit is too tight or just doesn't work. The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse of Tuesday, August 28th , represents a time of great wonder and excitement and celebrating the tension of actually making your way forward into a new world. The strain might be more than you bargained for but it will not be more than you can take.
