August Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Sagittarius Horoscope (November 22 - December 21)
Mutable Fire. Your ruling planet is Jupiter.

Mystical madness may be your strongest suit these days, Sagittarius, in spite of all your best efforts to tread the straight and narrow. In the course of this monthly cycle you find yourself caught between opposing forces of deep internal reflection and a superbly realistic approach. There will be surprises and cosmic epiphanies to attend to as you strive at the same time to find the proper outer world manifestation to match newfound inner awareness. Inner and outer are but two sides of the very same coin, and the coin is in spin. Will it come up heads versus tails or a touch of both?

As the month begins you are intent on coming to a new form of intimacy with self and other, based on deep thoughts and internal reflections that take you far behind and beyond your conscious mind. Your basic beliefs are solidifying in a particular direction and the question is, are you ready to embrace profound change in your life yet again? You are called to move beyond previous limitations in another phase of deepening commitment to your most essential self and make a vertical connection to your highest intention past the multiple distractions offered by modern society. At the time of the Full Moon taking place on Wednesday, August 9th, you are presented with choices. There is the illusory glitter of surface distraction to deal with, as always, and perhaps the fear of taking on the real success story of this period of time, in the profound transformation that you can make in your life right now. In any case, this is about finding your own sense of what is good for you and communicating it to others around you. The Last Quarter Moon of August 15th represents another turning point, a time when the rubber meets the road in terms of your actual day-to-day commitment to active change. Sudden new career directions may occur to you now, or at least the desire to leap tall buildings and break through to new ground. The Virgo New Moon that comes along a week later also represents a fresh start in this area, one in which a sense of integration is more possible between impulse and idealism, and where mystical messages from other voices and your own deep intuition play an important part. You remain in the midst of a thoroughgoing metamorphosis that is taking place within your psyche, which is really about piercing the illusory satisfaction of surface living in order to dive into meaning, but it doesn't have to be that dramatic. You will make the choice that you are ready for, and if you don't take the total plunge at this time, the chance will come again to you later in a different form.
