August Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

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

There is virtue in variability for you these days, Gemini. Fuzzy thinking may not be so bad when it coveys more precisely the paradoxical nature of your entire situation. In this current monthly timeframe you are trying for a new form of communication that takes all your parts into account, and that acknowledges the cosmic unity underlying your separatist condition. It's a difficult balance to strike, but positive developments in the area of partnership with like-minded others will bolster your chances of finding it.

As the month begins, and coming off the last weekend in July, you are exploring new options for yourself and your world, accessed by a subtle shift in point of view. The pace of potential change intensifies by Monday evening, August 6th, when Jupiter stations in your relationship sector. This is a time when you find that helpful partners enable you to come into yourself in a new and positive way, and when everything seems possible. The retrograde of Venus, lasting until September or even October, means that everything that happens to you right now has its internal impact as well, and puts an introspective slant on all your communications. At the time of the subsequent New Moon, taking place on Sunday, August 12th, your outreach is both more energized than usual and also less specific. There is a way that a deep unknown part of yourself is seeking to come forth in your connections with others at this time, and all bets are off on what worlds the conversation may lead you to. It's an exciting prospect that shouldn't scare you, although you may wonder why it doesn't. Leaving the familiar mental highways behind can of course be challenging, but also in the end exhilarating, for without the opportunity to explore new perspectives, what after all have we to live for? With this New Moon energy, you are in the process of solidifying these possibilities for yourself into form, creating the space to take them forward and actualize them into concrete being in your life, while at the same time feeling the spaciousness of new vistas that defy being pinned down in this way. You must somehow find a compromise in working with both sides. The First Quarter Moon of August 20th will provide a necessary sorting out process, while the Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse of Tuesday, August 28th, will further catalyze your response into action. Over the following month you are connecting deeply with the roots of your being and everything else will have to take second place to that ultimately rewarding effort.
