Libra Horoscope for August 2012

This is a difficult and amazing time for you, Libra. You are dealing with the joy, and also the pain, of entirely revising your conceptions — and your societal affiliations — in favor of a new wave. Not much really has to change in order that you evolve in the way that you are beginning to conceive. There has been a missing piece, which you have only just now discovered inside yourself. There needs to be a new internal mandate but you are at the same time quite uncertain exactly how to proceed. You benefit by letting go and just allowing. It's true that business as usual just won't cut it any more and that a replacement will eventually come to pass, but it might not be that you actually have to do anything to get yourself there.

As the month begins, your intense focus on real-world concerns is undercut by uncertainty regarding where it is that you are truly heading. This is so because the mystical and numinous energy of Neptune is strongly configured in your sector of the discipleship to higher purpose, which is also refers to day-to-day activities such as in the workplace. The concept of a daily spiritual practice is perhaps more intensified as well for you right now. The late Cancer New Moon from the middle of the previous month took place in your career sector, so that you have abundant energy for exploring your public persona, but with the uncertainty and the rearranging your ideas as well, especially since Mercury is also retrograde in your sector of wishes and hopes and plans for the future.

You are making a noteworthy attempt to really sort things out. As you do, the fact that the mystical side of life is very present for you has its distinct advantages. Your inner world is hugely important and provides an underpinning for the outer, as you have always known with a hidden portion of your thought and as you continue to more consciously recognize. You are concerned this month with bringing what is unconscious in you into greater awareness, and with finding a new mandate to take you forward in the light of these revelations, perhaps with also the unexpected help of active partnerships in your life.

A strong call for action is arising within you and presents an exciting vision for future development, but also might reveal some relatively stuck places inside yourself where you find doubt and limitation rather than the blue horizon that you more whole-heartedly visualize. But no one said it would be easy. These downsides to expansive forward progress are part of life on the planet, where the disappointments and the challenges are there for you to overcome, and in the end, to incorporate.

Detailed Monthly Forecast

With the Full Moon of late evening, Wednesday, August 1st, you are reaching out for a fuller level of integration and balance even in the face of uncertainty. This period of time and the week that follows constitutes a powerful juncture and brings many of these themes into sharper relief in your mind, emphasizing the fundamental optimist within you. You embody as well the confused perspective that essentially comes with this territory, as you seek greater reliance on internal rather than external rewards. This also represents a major intensification of the Mercury Retrograde period, as Mercury simultaneously enters its final week of backward motion and makes a strong aspect to the illusory and also idealizing energy of Neptune in your sector of higher purpose.

The Last Quarter Moon of Thursday, August 9th, takes place at a time when Mercury has just stationed, and is therefore moving quite slowly and is a more intense influence, still in close aspect to Neptune, and also when your ruler Venus enters your career and action sector as it crosses the Midheaven of your chart. Mars in your sign moves closer to Saturn, representing the energy of restriction and limitation. You are thus moved to activity but also held back from it, and through the particular potency of this lunar phase are also occupying a reflective mode, mulling over events that have recently transpired in order to make better sense of them.

With the New Moon of Friday, August 17th, you are inspired to apply a fresh sense of purpose to your plans for future progress but again held back in leaping ahead by concepts of restriction including perhaps fears of being entirely up to the task you have ambitiously set for yourself. Your fears and internal woundings are also part of you and it helps to honor them rather than mentally shun and avoid these walled-off portions of yourself. You might find that accepting yourself at deeper levels gives you a burst of inner strength and empowerment.

The First Quarter Moon of Friday, August 24th, signals another time of testing, when the focus is on you to find an integrated place to stand and deliver, one that takes internal and somewhat confusing aspects of yourself more firmly into account. You are aided in this quest by partnership connections and by recognizing your own inner strength.

This is a complex and powerful period when you are challenged and yet might succeed in rising to the occasion. If you stumble, this is not necessarily a defeat, especially if you can feel that you have made progress. There may be much that needs to be rearranged both inside of yourself and with regard to outer circumstances that constrain you. You will be stronger the next time, and better able to get yourself to where in the end you need to go.

With the massive changes that are happening now, I highly recommend that folks get a transit report tailored specifically to their chart for the most accurate description of what's in store for you in the months ahead.
