August Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Leo Horoscope (July 23 - August 22)
Fixed Fire. Your ruling planet is The Sun.

Adventures in intimacy are coming your way, Leo. You might feel a sense of isolation in your journey as you explore a new contract with yourself and your world and make your birthday wishes more of a concrete reality, but at the same time you are very aware of relationship considerations. You might catch yourself idealizing helpful partners in your life, or becoming disappointed that the interaction doesn't always live up to what you considered to be its high promise. Especially around the time of the August 9th Full Moon, you may feel the pain of being brought down to the real in these and other matters. Although it's true what they say, that "nothing gold can stay," the remainder of a cosmically powerful connection can still count for quite a lot.

As the month begins, you are likely digging deep down within yourself for some important answers to questions that might be troubling to you below the surface layers of your consciousness. You are solidifying at the level of personality, getting more and more entrenched with recent advances in how you handle yourself in the real world, but somehow you remain mystical at the core of your very being, and this vague and mysterious purpose is arising for you right now. The time is right for you to explore your deep inside, even more so than in recent weeks. The paradox of the situation may disturb your logical mind, or what is left of it, that left-brain part of yourself that insists on solutions, but it might pay right now not to get very caught up in that form of illusion. The nature of the soul is paradox, and you are dealing, at least in part, with soul-level concerns at this time. Especially at the time of the Full Moon in your opposite sign taking place on August 9th, the mystical side of the equation may be symbolized by significant partners in your life. Relationship can be an exceptionally fine mirror for you these days if you can pierce through the illusion, showing you something that was there inside you all along when you look at it right. Sudden changes of attitude could lead you off in very new directions over the next two weeks, along the way to the Virgo New Moon that takes place on Wednesday, August 23rd. This New Moon represents a departure for you in terms of a shift in the energy, another turn of the road for your process of discovery, when the resources you have at your disposal come strongly into play. You have been saving up in your cosmic bank account for your various journeys, the mundane as well as the spiritual ones, and you must call upon these now to make your move.
