August 2007 Horoscope
Lunations - Trends for All Signs
EARTH ALERT!
Take responsibility for your safety. This year will be a rough ride. Major Earth changes are expected and will cause a chain reaction. Know how to protect yourself and your loved ones in the event of disaster presented by nature or by unpredictable human factors. KNOW WHAT YOU WILL DO. Jupiter in Sagittarius is retrograding on the fixed star, Sabik. The safety is off advanced weaponry when the Fire Star is conjoined. Jupiter magnifies everything it touches. Any area or person that has already experienced the intensity of this conjunction can experience it AGAIN! Any planet in aspect can indicate the trigger can be pulled. Volcanoes, floods, large storms, power outages, fires, explosions and even advanced warfare tactics may present themselves. BE READY!
LUNATIONS
NEW MOON occurs on August 12, 2007 at 07:02PM EDT
This New Moon the Lights are kissing in a Leo parade of planets in opposition to Neptune retrograde in Aquarius! How great is the desire to return to a more romantic era! Warmth, loyalty and devotion to loved ones are raised to a high art. Resolutions to rebuild bridges and embrace forgiveness will be in evidence. Neptune's opposition will also stimulate nostalgia in art and music. Many films and musical compositions from the past will be revived in this cycle. Uranus retrograde in Pisces squares the Lights! Old wounds heal and past catastrophes dim as the desire to open up the heart intensifies.
FULL MOON TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE occurs on August 28, 2007 at 06:35AM EDT
This Lunar Eclipse chart is intense! The Virgo Sun, ruled by Mercury, opposes the Pisces Moon, ruled by Neptune! Music that is wordless and art that is able to be discerned with the versatility of the viewer best describes the energies. The Sun, during this Eclipse, cannot reflect on the face of the Moon - and so we see that imagination is free from definition in this cycle. This chart also has a Grand Square in the mutable signs with the Lights. The emphasis is on variance and embracing diversity. Territories of culture that will be undergoing a migratory shift will contribute to the introduction of new ideas - some popular and some not. But so it will be.
Venus Retrograde Alert!
Venus in Virgo retrograded on July 27th at 1:27 PM and will be revisiting Leo until September 8th at 12:15 PM. Love often returns or re-ignites with this transit. Inside ourselves, love from the past for family and friends will be closely re-examined. Patterns that repeat through our lives become clarified. If you have been considering giving love one more try - this is the time! Aesthetic impulses will also be magnified. If you have been considering redecorating, body sculpting or creating a whole new look this is a marvelous time to try things on and draw up plans. It is not a good time to implement them as once Venus resumes direct motion - you may want to go back to the way it was!
Jupiter in Sagittarius Shadow Alert!
On April 5th at 09:24 PM EDT, the largest planet began a retrograde tour that ends on August 6th at 10:06 PM EDT and the shadow dissipates to complete the cycle on November 1st! Jupiter magnifies everything it touches and it only tours Sagittarius every 12 years. The expansion of philosophies and overwhelming bouts of wanderlust characterize this transit. Travel is strongly featured by air, land or sea. Sudden evacuations and a greater overall migration of people and animals will be evident as this giant planet moves forward in the Heavens. Time will quicken and opportunities will abound. Pace yourself!
Uranus in Pisces Retrograde Alert!
On June 23rd AT 10:43 am EDT, Uranus went retrograde in Pisces. This is a long tour and facilitates the dance it will do with Jupiter for most of this year. Uranus does not resume direct motion until the Full Moon in November on the 24th at 05:16 AM EST! Many hope that with both Uranus and Jupiter retrograde, we may avoid some of the drastic changes that have been predicted. Although this can be true in part, they also signature the concept that "history repeats itself"! Land and sea that has had erratic patterns of weather changes or outbreaks of rebellion can experience it again - and even at a greater magnitude. Jupiter tends to magnify what it touches. Stay alert.
Neptune in Aquarius Retrograde Alert!
On May 24th at 9:10 PM, Neptune went retrograde and will remain so until 4:06 PM Halloween night! Neptune rules all things unseen - faith, artistic talent, the ability to heal and be healed and the deep. As this planet retrogrades in Aquarius we may want to bring back our altruistic aims and high ideals. But be warned! We may still find the same disillusionment at the end of the road unless we take a more practical approach toward our visions for the future. With Saturn in Leo still opposing Neptune, it is necessary to unlearn former limitations. We need to ask - 'Why not?" The greatest visionaries and inventors never lost sight of their dream. Integrate your imagination!
Pluto in Sagittarius Retrograde Alert!
Whether you are still considering Pluto a planet - or a dwarf planet, astrologically its influence is still powerful and insidious. Pluto retrograded the last evening of March and remains so until September 7th at 10:54 AM. Processes of Plutonian transit often point to migration of life forms for a plethora of reasons. Transmutations of big money and big government are often moving just below the level of our awareness as this planet retrogrades. Our perception of the "Underworld" metamorphoses resulting in either an underlying panic or a desire to break free of established limitations. Foreign policies are often reconsidered and a withdrawal of troops from different countries and even our own may, indeed, be reconsidered.
Chiron in Aquarius Retrograde Alert!
It is interesting that Neptune and Chiron share this strong retrograde period. May 21, 2007 through October 20th, 2007 Chiron and Neptune will both be retrograde in Aquarius. We have already seen the desire to go back to more natural cures and reawaken our faith in the healing of ourselves as well as our planet. The retrograde status of these two less understood planetary bodies will facilitate us looking for prevention of illness rather than curatives to a greater degree. Many will choose to delve into the archives of time as to the origins of certain ailments to see the true causative through time. Many theories will be born in this cycle
