August Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

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

This is a fabulous time to be alive, Pisces. You are being welcomed once again this month to the mystical landscape your own interior that is simultaneously very difficult to get a handle on and yet in another way blazingly obvious. Truly is it said that now you see as through a glass, darkly, but then, face to face. You are strong on service these days, not martyrdom, and intent upon examining your role in an expanded future that includes literally everything. As you explore both the trials and suffering of normal life on the planet and also the subtle and unlimited magnificence of your inner world, the trick is to find a way to reconcile these seeming opposites. They are in actuality two sides of the very same coin.

As the month begins, you are strong on service to the surrounding collective. You are also still tuned in mightily to you own inner world, as you have been for weeks now, but with a practical sense of purpose. You are shining into your own manifest destiny, finding the gears that hook you into a productivity that is uniquely your own. You have been finding your own way forward lately, independent of consensus thought forms and prior conditioning. There may be a rebellion going on inside your head this month that will oppose the status quo, and that could come to and even greater crescendo in mid-September. The Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse of Wednesday, August 5th, will provide you with loads of energy, both for finding your own way forward and for day-to-day activities in support of your health and well-being. You also have loads of energy for family and tribe at this time, and for reaching out in a serious and practical way to others around you. You are optimistic to a large degree, but are also engaged in tempering this optimism with a sense of limitation and restriction, seeing the realistic side of life as equally important. This is a good thing, since you have had a tendency lately toward unbridled optimism that can run away with your ideas. A dose of practicality might be just what you need to stay on track. The Last Quarter Moon that comes along a week later, on Thursday the 13th, might reinforce this trend toward hard-nosed reality. This is traditionally a time when you see the drawbacks of your plans along with the positive side of what you are attempting, and take the wisdom of what works only in part along with you into the next cycle. Practical considerations could come by way of important partners in your life, who supply an additional point of view. Then the New Moon of Thursday, August 20th, is another strong moment in time, when you will be given new ideas and a new impetus for forging ahead in your own unique fashion. You do well to continue to include practical considerations in your thinking at this time, as they will certainly catch up with you one way or another. You might as well be proactive and include negative estimations of your situation along with the positive, as a balance for overly optimistic impulse that is characteristic of your current thinking.
