August Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Capricorn Horoscope (December 22 - January 19)
Cardinal Earth. Your ruling planet is Saturn.

You have been engaged in searching out new directions for yourself lately, Capricorn, and your process of transformation continues into the current time frame. Intimacy with others is one avenue toward greater fulfillment, both with significant partners in your life and with yourself, as you find slowly dawning within you the compassionate recognition of others' needs as valid as your own. The trick is to manifest your own place to stand in what can be a shifting ground of potentially illusory idealization. You have it within your power right now to effectively move forward; it takes only the awareness of the opening door and the determination to move through it.

As the month begins, you are coming into a greater sense of solidity within yourself, benefiting from the information of others around you but concocting from all that you receive your own blend of ideas. Thus you are stockpiling a rich currency of perspectives that you can use to your own advantage, as you complete a major shift in your beliefs and values that has been in the works for you for some time now. The Last Quarter Moon of Sunday, August 5th, presents you with challenges in this area, when you are taking in the viewpoints of others and attempting to integrate them with your own. The New Moon of Sunday, August 12th, represents a powerful time of inspiration when you are attempting to deal with issues of inner and outer, self and other. This is one climax of a lengthy period of integration as you seek to take your relationship orientation and balance this part of yourself with the demands of a more spiritual perspective. An impulse for massive change is slowly taking hold within you, reemphasizing relationship with others around you as an avenue to your own metamorphosis. Surprising information may contribute to your process of increasing awareness at this time. As you reexamine all your relationships, both personal and business, you may come to the startling conclusion that a win-win situation is always present in your dealings with others, you may only have to dig for it, and to accept that part of yourself that makes the predominate connection to Spirit. As you go through your process of investigation, the First Quarter Moon of the 20th is likely to provide more fuel for thought, representing a time when you must choose between alternatives, priorities of life direction and intimate connection, and decide which approach makes the most sense in the long run. It may be possible to find a third way of higher resolution. The Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse of Tuesday, August 28th represents another potent time of discovery, and may serve as a summing up of recent advances in your understanding. Your world view is shifting, and in a good way, over the next few weeks and on into October.
