The month begins with Saturn forming a hard angle to Mercury, Venus and Jupiter, “bringing challenges or restrictions to the Taurus, Libra, Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, and (to a lesser extent) Pisces”. Leos may also feel affected. Saturn is the taskmaster; so our query to ourselves must be: What is the taskmaster here to teach me? … or, What illusions do I need to wake up from? Where have I tried to “take the easy option”? Are my attitudes realistic? Writing or counseling may help us “determine the best way forward”. Jupiter changes signs on August 14th, moving from Leo (where it has spent a year) into Virgo. “Everyone gets a gift when Jupiter changes signs”, and most should notice that an area or two of our lives begin to get easier! “Aries and Cancer are most likely to benefit from Saturn’s position. Cancers might notice a “greater optimism and a growing awareness of the possibilities around them”. The rest of us need to “take off the rose-tinted glasses”, and see what actions need to be taken. Our gifts and blessings from Jupiter may be delayed for a short time due to Saturn’s influence. Patience is required! The end of the month brings an “unusual, very watery full moon — placed in Pisces and closely conjoined by Neptune”. Squaring Saturn in Scorpio, and opposing the Sun and Jupiter in Virgo, we “have a very sensitive, psychic, and quite sorrowful moon, but on the other side, … a boundless optimism and positivity”. Within these “two polar opposites” we need to find a balance between giving in to defeatist attitudes and being arrogant and impulsive. This full moon strives to wake us up from dreams and illusions … to see what is! For some this will be a painful awakening! “Try to blend positive expectations with a sense of realism and practical steps to achieve your aims.” “The gift of August is to wake us up” from our illusions, and to empower us to step into more positive, practical modes of awareness, thought and action. Happy awakening!
