August Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 - July 22)
Cardinal Water. Your ruling planet is The Moon.

This month represents yet another new beginning for you, Cancer. You may find yourself idealizing relationship with significant partners in your life as a goal and perhaps also as a means to your own self-discovery. You are ultimately concerned at this time with issues of self and other, of where you stop and the other begins, and how to set appropriate boundaries without walling yourself off altogether. High ideals and blissful illusion have their drawbacks but they have their advantages also. An overly cynical assessment may have just as much danger of running aground on the reefs of circumstance as an overly optimistic one.

As the month begins, you are finding your way forward into wholeness, only just beginning to emerge from a self-reflective period of time that took up most of July and lasts through the first ten days of the present monthly period. There may be some degree of growing pains for you to contend with, as your perspective stretches in response. Your resources are an important part of the story for you right now. Especially at the time of the Full Moon taking place on Wednesday, August 9th, there is also the possibility that you are laboring under a form of illusion regarding your own resources versus those derived from others. You need to be very clear about tending your own garden first and foremost at this time. You are building for the future right now although things might be more difficult for you short-term than you would really like. With the Last Quarter Moon taking place on Tuesday, August 15th, you may experience some form of tension in your activities, as you reach a crisis point in connecting up the dots for yourself and your material affairs to make a more meaningful whole. This is an important time for you, when issues of sickness and health could be helpful in pointing the way to greater internal harmony. It always pays to follow your heart and to tune in to your internal guidance, and now more than ever. The New Moon a week later on the 23rd takes you to a new level of energy and integration that could manifest as career change. You are fundamentally in a good place right now, humming along, better when you keep alert to the subtle vibrations surrounding you these days and move in accordance with them.
