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



(Note: If you know your Rising Sign or Moon Sign, read that section, too!)



Aries ARIES MAR 20 - APR 20

This New Moon, your ruler, Mars, is in Gemini encouraging stimulating conversation and the ability to see both sides of the question. Be aware that you can seek an argument just for its own sake to stimulate others to think rather than accept concepts and judgments without understanding their impact. On the Eclipse, your ruler is part of a Grand Square with the Lights and Jupiter! And you thought you were multi-tasking before??? Segments of processes can be completed with this Full Moon - but the sense of completion that one anticipates will be absent.



Taurus TAURUS APR 20 - MAY 21

At New Moon, your ruler, Venus, is retrograde in Leo. Your mind turns to the faithful dedication of those who loved you in the past and their value in the future. Venus also claims a trine with deep, ponderous Pluto. This is an excellent time to share your sentiments with those who share the desires of your heart. This Eclipse reveals an opposition with your ruler to Neptune. It is at this time you may become aware of those who have cared about you more than you know. Responses from others in both your joys and sorrows can seem surreal and amazing!



Gemini GEMINI MAY 21 - JUN 21

Your ruler, Mercury, is in Leo at New Moon and part of a grand parade of planets in that sector of the Heavens. Warmth and sharing with family and close friends will be inspiring and bring great joy! The Lights as well as Mercury oppose Neptune n Aquarius, prompting us to share our hopes, dreams and even our disenchantments in a heartfelt fashion. Upon the Eclipse, your ruler has moved into discerning Virgo and is opposing Uranus in Pisces. Surprising revelations will characterize this cycle for you. Sudden opportunities for enlightenment are seen!



Cancer CANCER JUN 21 - JUL 22

At New Moon, your ruler, the Moon, is in dramatic Leo kissing the Sun and opposing Neptune. You will identify with the positive drama of Leo and both laughter and tears will come easily now. In essence, you will reclaim some of the simple and sincere responses to life. This Lunar Eclipse with the Moon in Pisces allows you to delve into your creative imagination and psychic ability on a whole new level. Escape from the madding crowd and look within for the treasure of your Divine gifts. Gather together your experience and inspiration at this time and share it!



Leo LEO JUL 22 - AUG 23

Many Happy Solar Returns, Leo! This is your month! What a grand celebration with so many planets moving through your sphere this month! Your ruler, the Sun, is kissing the Moon and opposing Neptune! This is a year to dream big regarding your future! Remember that others may not share your values or your enthusiasm at this time! You will feel somewhat overwhelmed! On the lunar Eclipse, explanations of your motives and feelings will be very difficult to express verbally. It may be best to listen more and write down your impressions for later!



Virgo VIRGO AUG 23 - SEP 23

Your ruler, Mercury, is in Leo this New moon conjoining the Lights and opposite both Neptune and Chiron. A healthy attitude is imperative and you must qualify your needs versus your desires in this cycle. Your confidence is booming now! Go for progress! Your ruler has moved into your own sign on the Eclipse, and your grasp of your life and the direction it is taking will be crystal clear. It will be easy for you to make adjustments as you move forward. Most shudder at a Grand Square, but in this case, it will serve your desire for perfection and precision.



Libra LIBRA SEP 23 - OCT 23

Your ruler, Venus, is retrograde in Leo and conjunct Saturn in the New Moon chart. This is not only a time to re3view love and loyalty - but also its longevity. A renewal of vows or a deepening of long standing commitments is seen. Appreciation for the mentors of your past and important lessons learned will be highlighted. Upon the lunar Eclipse, your ruler opposes Neptune in Aquarius calling you to go back in time and review some of your most important memories. This Pisces Moon may gift you with dreams - whether you slumber or are totally awake!



Scorpio SCORPIO OCT 23 - NOV 22

One of your rulers, Mars, is in Gemini this New Moon and opposes Jupiter in Sagittarius. It will be difficult to determine if you are coming or going until mid-month! Your other ruler, Pluto, however, is in trine to both Venus and Saturn. Expect to be loved and appreciated much! If you work on a referral basis, you will flourish now! At the Eclipse, Mars has progressed through Gemini to become part of the Grand Mutable Square! Remain flexible or fluid as time will fly by as you respond to the needs of others and opportunities that seek you out!



Sagittarius SAGITTARIUS NOV 22 - DEC 21

Your ruler, Jupiter, is in Sagittarius all month and now direct! You will claim momentum and attract winning ideas to you at this time! Be very aware of an active karmic force in effect; however, as Jupiter is squaring off to the Dragon (Nodes)! Be "O So Good". The rewards will be remarkable! On the Lunar Eclipse, your ruler is in the Grand Square with Sun, Moon and Mars. Expect meetings to be intense whether they embrace business or pleasure! Beware of temptation to accept opportunity until you have all the facts. Listen well!



Capricorn CAPRICORN DEC 21 - JAN 20

Your ruler, Saturn, is in Leo and trine to Pluto in Sagittarius all month! This is an awesome time for you to travel - especially to places that have inspired you in the past. If you return to places or persons from the past at this time, you will see them with new eyes! The New Moon encourages you to seek reunion with those who have always been there for you. The Lunar Eclipse reveals confrontation both inwardly and outwardly for the imbalances of giving in receiving in your associations. Be kind but firm about your boundaries. Lose the losers now!



Aquarius AQUARIUS JAN 20 - FEB 19

Your ruler, Uranus, is retrograde in Pisces all month! At New Moon, Uranus is square to a mid-point between Jupiter and Pluto. This is an important time for you to reconsider what gifts will empower you in the future. If you have been considering a lifestyle or career change, you may find helpful information coming quickly to you. On the Eclipse, your ruler is opposing Mercury in Virgo. Many may seem a bit offensive to you at this time - but tact is absent in this cycle. Pretend friends will be obvious and lovers may take off the last mask! Be ready!



Pisces PISCES FEB 19 - MAR 20

Your ruler, Neptune, is in Aquarius and opposes the Lights - as well as Mercury - on the New Moon! You will be in contact with many you love at this time although you may not be actually involved in all gatherings. It is important to you to attend to your health and well-being at this time. Be selective about what energies you have around you on a daily basis. On the Eclipse, your ruler opposes retrograde Venus in Leo. You will experience many realizations about love lost and gained, both in your life and the lives of others. This is a perfect time to reflect and counsel!
