August 2013 Horoscopes- Libra through Pisces

Libra– After a stressful career month, August will bring some much needed relief. Let the good times roll as you catch up with friends and loosen up a little! The new moon on the 6th in your house of friendship is nicely angled to your house of partnerships- a dream near and dear to your heart may finally come true! Perhaps you’ll get engaged or start a new business with a friend. Whatever comes up may be unexpected. Things get a little rocky mid-month, when you find it hard to balance the needs of your home and career. Breathe, Libra, it will all be ok. Venus (your ruler!) is right at home in your sign all month, giving you charm in spades. You’ll be able to talk your way into and out of everything, especially on the 26th when Venus sends a friendly ping to your house of partnerships. The sun in the 12th house this day also sends a lovely vibration to your work and health house, suggesting creative projects or a new health routine will go smoothly. A full moon on the 20th illuminates a love matter. You may profess your love to your one-and-only, or decide to go your separate ways. Alternatively, a creative project could come to an end. With the sun entering the introspective house of your chart at the end of the month, this is a good time to create and heal. Mars will be entering your friendship house as well, so it’s the perfect time to squeeze in some last minute summer BBQs before fall takes over!

Scorpio– Screw the saying “Knowledge is Power.” Power is power, right Scorpio? This month you’ll show the world just what you’re made of, as a host of planets light up your house of fame and career. The new moon on the 6th is beautifully angled to Uranus, suggesting you get a job offer or work assignment out of the blue. It doesn’t get much better than this. You’ll finally get the title or big project you deserve and the press to go with it! You might have some trouble breaking it to your current employer, however, as a tense t-square between your communication houses and your house of work will cause chaos in the sky. I would avoid traveling this month as well, as an argument between your health house and travel house is a recipe for disaster. Or maybe you’ll just be too busy with work to properly enjoy a vacation. Your ruler in the 3rd house yelling at Uranus in your 6th suggests you might be treating some co-workers unkindly in your quest to get ahead. We all know you have unlimited reserves of power, scorpion, but you don’t always have to use them. Nobody wants Prince Joffrey as their boss, and you can’t feel healthy or positive about it either. Here’s the thing- knowledge IS power, and the more you know, the better leader and co-worker you’ll be. It may take a few more years, and a few more harsh lessons, to grasp this. A full moon on the 20th illuminates a housing or home matter. You might sign a new lease or finally close escrow. The month ends positively, with a beautiful connection between the Sun in your house of friendship and Saturn in your sign. Whatever may be going on in your personal or professional life, you’ll have supportive friends watching your back and cheering for you all the way. Alternatively, a wish close to your heart may finally come true. Saturn will ensure it’s the real deal and will affect you positively for many years to come.

Sagittarius– This month has your stamp all over it. Why? Because it’s chalk full of your favorite thing- TRAVEL! The new moon on the 6th makes this a glorious time to take a trip abroad. If you can get away with your true love- even better- as this moon is beautifully angled to Uranus in the 5th. How romantic would it be if you got engaged in a foreign country? Single Sag’s might find unexpected love on a long-distance trip. Hello, Latin Lover! Can you say Juan Pablo? Alternatively, you may start a novel or screenplay, or decide to apply to a university. You will have a burst of creativity to help fuel your new venture. Watch your expenses with Mars in your house of other people’s money until the end of the month. Also, mid-month brings a tense t-square between your financial houses and your creative house. Money you thought would come through for a project might not, or perhaps a child has an expensive problem. The end of the month brings a lovely vibration between your house of career and your house of creativity however, so you should come out on top. With Jupiter (your ruler!) in your house of other people’s money all year, you won’t be feeling broke for long!

Capricorn– You’ve sure had your share of ups and downs, haven’t you my little goat friend? Pluto in your sign since 2008 has shown you that you’re made of steel (my money’s on Superman as a Cap, how about you?). The last couple of years, Pluto has squared Uranus in your house of home, prompting you to move from A to B, to C to D, and maybe back to A again, all in the pursuit of finding your true self. This can’t have been easy, considering Capricorns are the very definition of stable! The new moon has you seriously considering putting down roots for longer than a hot second. You’ll hear about a home loan and maybe even get more than you expected. Alternatively, you may receive a surprise inheritance or property tax refund. This month, you may be undergoing some serious changes on the relationship front as well. Perhaps you’re moving for a spouse or job, or dealing with the repercussions of a previous move. A full moon in your second house of income on the 20th will ensure you have plenty of funds to deal with whatever housing matter comes up. Your ruler, Saturn, has been in your house of friendships and will continue to be there for the next few years. Friends are important to you, but they may have taken a backseat to work and relationship obligations over the past few months. Luckily, the Sun in your house of travel sends a friendly beam to your house of friendships on the the 31st. This is the perfect time to take a trip abroad with friends. It will surely be filled with good times. Alternatively, a wish may come true on this day, or you may have good luck with a screenplay or novel you’re working on. With Jupiter in your house of relationships, an engagement might even be coming! If you’re single, get out and circulate, as Jupiter will be in this area of your chart until next July!

Aquarius– Work sure has been a bit of a headache lately huh? Between miscommunications and stalled plans, you’re starting to wonder if things will ever sort themselves out. Jupiter in your 6th house of work and Pluto in your 12th house of closure and secrets have been doing a feisty tango, leaving you feeling stuck in the middle. Just when everything was looking so good, it all fell apart! Don’t worry, once Jupiter passes out of Pluto’s orbit (in early Sept), the good luck planet will resume its beneficial healing of your work house. After all, nothing in life worth having comes easy, right? Alternatively, you could be dealing with some bad medical mojo, so be sure to eat healthy, exercise, and lay off the booze already would you? The new moon on the 6th turns your attention to your relationships, where fortunately, things are looking great! Uranus (your ruler!) is holding a loving hand with the new moon, and you’ll be surprised at how much fun you can have with your partner on a weekend getaway. Communication will be better than ever! Alternatively, you may form a new business partnership, and the contract will be to your liking- maybe even better than you expected! A full moon in your own sign on the 20th brings a matter close to your heart to fulfillment. When the Sun in your 8th house of other people’s money sends a beautiful beam to Saturn in your house of career on the 31st, the funding you’ve been waiting for may finally come through! You’re sure to get press around this one, and it’s likely to benefit you for a long time to come. Finally, Mars will bring sexy back when it enters your relationship sector at the end of the month. Va Va Voom!

Pisces– Pisces, Pisces, Pisces, always last, but never least. Money has been all over the place for you for a while, and so have your friendships! Lately, you’ve been working on a creative project that you hoped would finally earn you some cold, hard moolah (you’re not a materialistic sign, but hey, everyone’s gotta eat, right?). Unfortunately, it’s been an uphill battle, and a friend you thought was helping you, might just be getting in your way! Hold tight, as everything should pass by early September. A new moon on the 6th will usher in a new work project. It’s in beautiful sync with Uranus in your house of income, and you might get even more money than you thought! Alternatively, you might decide to start a health routine or join a pricey gym- luckily you’ll find you have enough funds to carry you through. A full moon on the 20th brings something to a close. Perhaps a creative project, a bad habit, or that toxic “love affair” you’ve been carrying on. If you’re harboring any secrets, you might not be able to keep them hidden for long.  August 26th will be divine for you, as the Sun in your house of partnerships signals your ruler (Neptune) in your first house of self. You may get engaged or sign with a new business partner. A legal decision may end up in your favor. The month ends on a great note as well- on Aug 31st, the sun in your partnership zone shakes a loving hand with Saturn in your house of travel and publishing. You may take a trip with your love, or find a publisher for the novel you’ve been working so hard on. With Jupiter in your fifth house of true love and creativity until next July, these areas will shine for you!
