August Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Pisces Horoscope (February 19 - March 20)
Mutable Water. Your ruling planets are Neptune and Jupiter.

You are other-directed these days, Pisces. Especially in the last week of the month you are likely to find yourself very busy exploring new realms of partnership interaction. You are also getting serious about finding your dharma, your true vocation, as you emerge from the previous month, riding the waves of recent changes in attitude toward who you are, and how and to what end you show up in the world. An other-orientation makes sense for you right now, almost as a form of spiritual practice, as you strive to concretely enable a path of service to others based on the compassionate embrace of all of nature, and, don't forget, of yourself along with it.

As the month begins, you are feeling your way into novel perspectives and a greater sense of integration between inner and outer. You are quite active in the world at this time, and yet also completely in touch with a hidden element of your personality that corresponds to other dimensions of reality beyond what you can see and touch with your five senses alone. This month represents a further opportunity for growth, as you get more serious regarding your commitment to a form of true service to humanity at large. At the time of the August 9th Full Moon in your sector of dream imagination you are pulled even more strongly to the inside. Active partners in your life can help you bridge the gap between inner and outer, but it is well to remember that you are the final architect of your worldview, and that you establish your own reality with each attitude adjustment that you make. The New Moon that comes along two weeks later, on Wednesday, August 23rd, in your opposing sign, your partnership sector, brings new energy to this area of your life. Existing relationships will be enhanced and new ones could be started at this time. You are in the midst of profound personal transformation during this entire monthly cycle, involving not only your relationship to significant partners but your sense of self and your way of being in the world stage, how you perform your public service. This is a time when you are either uplifted and the real and mundane events of your life become almost magical, or else a time when you feel that your creative imagination is stifled by too much exposure to the limitations of the concrete world. If this seems paradoxical, well it is, and you might just have to accept that there are limitations to the world of logic. The fundamental disconnect between worlds is severe, and yet can yield to an act of the imagination, although not always gracefully.
