August Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

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

It's a changing climate emotionally for you these days, Capricorn, and philosophically as well. You may be in the process of discovering that there is more to life than you were previously ready to acknowledge. This is a month when your sense of logic is falling soggy dead and your values are morphing along with your sense of who you really are, especially during the second half. What you can take away from the experience by the end of the month is a better self-definition that as the poet says includes multitudes, and excludes nothing, and this in the long run makes you stronger both physically and mentally.

As the month begins, you are primed for big changes, with the Solar Eclipse that begins the month taking place in your sector of intimacy and personal transformation. It's time to recognize that there are others in your life, and that they are more important for you than you have perhaps been willing to recognize. The prescription is to balance the good vibes and the energy that you receive with your own understanding of where you are going, and the good news is that you are in a good place to do that very thing. With the First Quarter Moon coming along a week later, on Friday, August 8th, there may be some bumps in the road that you will have to negotiate, but essentially, all is well. You are your own cheerleader these days, pulling for your own sense of security, in your own way, and there may be the underbrush of old patterns to clear out before you are fully ready to move yourself along in the desired direction. All this is the fruit of a longer cycle of change that you are in the midst of since the time of your birthday, or thereabouts, with an important transition over the next thirty days. The Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse taking place on Saturday, August 16th, re-emphasizes the tango of self and other that you are currently engaged in, and brings a degree of culmination to your thought process. You continue to puzzle over the area of security and a sense of your own resources, apart from the resources of others. This mid-month time may also be a time of conflicting values and confusion over what your finances may look like going forward. The upside of these question marks is a better sense of your essential self, independent from the various market fluctuations and the shifting tides of consensus thinking. With the advent of the Last Quarter Moon, on the 25th, you are feeling ultimate solution in terms of knowledge gained, of sense rather than dollars and cents. Dramatic realizations that impart your more mystical and true situation may come to you over the last week of the month and on into September.
