August Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 - June 20)
Mutable Air. Your ruling planet is Mercury.

You are coming into a new way of thinking about your situation these days, Gemini. Your work in the world is a tremendous source of inspiration for you right now, as you further explore the deeper meaning of your life and the direction that it has recently been taking. You are coming out of a period of re-examining your values and taking inventory of the resources necessary to accomplish expanded and extensive plans for yourself moving forward, and as you do you may feel a sense of wonder and renewed possibility. These are exciting times to be living through, the more so if you allow yourself to relax and just enjoy the ride, without judgment or any form of preconception.

As the month begins, communication with your surrounding circle is the name of your game. You are also likely to be heading off in some new directions work-wise, although you may continue to be in a somewhat shaky state as far as permanent decision-making is concerned, since your ruler Mercury is still emerging from its retrograde shadow for the first ten days of the month. You are setting your sights on progress, nonetheless, and seeking to find direction in terms of your highest intention for yourself at this time, based on an optimistic assessment of your chances. At the time of the Full Moon, which takes place in the middle of the following week, on Wednesday, August 9th, you are filled with both the horizontal spread of activity implied by supercharged yet otherwise ordinary thinking and taking on a more ethereal big-picture viewpoint that leaves the earth far behind. You are wildly impractical at this time, and yet very grounded in another way also, seeking to balance the extremes of your thought process into a more coherent whole, and with patchy success. The resulting integration, when you are able to achieve it, can also have its positive effect on the way that you relate to significant partners in your life. You are combining a service orientation toward others with a healthy sense of your own process these days and arriving at some startling conclusions. The New Moon that comes along toward the end of the month, on Wednesday, August 23rd, kicks off a change in the energy. You are more invested at this time in home and family concerns, and in getting closer to your own spiritual center. There is the potential in the air for powerful and transforming change all during this climactic monthly cycle, but it is up to you how to handle it. Whatever piece of the action you are able to show up for, the universe will respond in kind.
