Astro Journal
August, 2008

As the sun makes its annual trip through the sign of Leo we’ll have plenty of opportunity to show strength and to have the courage of our convictions. It’s through confidence, not physical reliance that we’ll succeed. Part of the challenge of this time period is about coming to terms with self worth. It won’t matter what others think, as long as you believe in yourself.

The middle of the month can test our abilities to communicate. Cold, hard facts will emerge. Whether that’s good or bad remains to be seen. There needs to be care and accuracy taken along with organized and well-thought out plans. Towards the end of the month we move into a great time for planning for the future. Whatever new relationships and projects we take on will require effort and diligence. It’s not the best time for taking chances if you want, or expect quick results and rewards. Long-term stability with later, greater rewards is more available.

Aries
Reaching out to others is just as important as having a strong will. Extending yourself to others can have many rewards such as new friends or new opportunities. Set aside any aggressive and overbearing behavior in favor of unity and camaraderie. This is a good time for you to stand out and shine. A smile can open unexpected doors.

Taurus
There will be a few challenging moments for you this month. Keep your ego in check and remain flexible. It can be easy to let things get out of hand, but using simple, receptive innocence will get any situation on track. This is a time for overcoming fears through gentleness.

Gemini
You must press on or the status quo will remain. Use your voice to state your case. If the cause is just and your communications are clear, you will be heard by those who understand, giving you the potential to create important changes. Hold your ground no matter which way the wind blows.

Cancer
Don’t sacrifice your wants and needs for others. They may not appreciate you for doing it anyway and you don’t want to be a doormat by doing more than your share. Make sure to nurture yourself even if that means taking time away from something you love. You’ll be in a much better place when you return.

Leo
Showing determination, confidence and hope for the future encourages yourself and others. Inner poise is more important than outer appearances; otherwise it’s just bravado with no real courage backing it up. No matter what you do this month, it’s important to think from the heart and not from the head; it’s your greatest chance for success.

Virgo
It’s time to look into your future and go over your five-year-plan. Even if you can’t get it all figured out, at least you can make some decisions now that will put you on the way towards your desired goal. Those with similar interests will be able to join with you to achieve a mutually desired end.

Libra
There can be feelings of wasting energy and thoughts of failure, but don’t be discouraged. Maintain a sense of purpose and reconnect with what is available and possible in the situation and you will get back on track. With courage we always return with greater wisdom and understanding.

Scorpio
Don’t allow dull routines to overcome you. You may be holding back your ideas because you think it has all been done before, but it is yet to be done your way. Bring out something new and it will revitalize you and those around you. Yours is a passionate and intense nature that needs to experience life in a very deep, connected way.

Sagittarius
It’s time to socialize and be friendly with strangers. Anything foreign or exotic will satisfy your taste buds. Be adventurous and try something you thought you’d never do. That way you keep them all guessing and you never get bored. The end of the month brings some challenges and you may need to let go and find new depths to your ways of relating.

Capricorn
You’re on a roll. It may be a slow roll, but at least things are moving. With cooperation there can be great success. You’re looking to grow and expand and you can only do it by clearing out what doesn’t fit anymore. It’s time to clear out cluttered minds, spaces and rooms. No use wasting time holding on to old, outworn things and memories.

Aquarius
Your rational and emotional responses can conflict at times. Fickleness and insecurity can throw off your normally cool exterior and you may be put in a position of having to decide between the heart and social obligations. Luckily you have a great ability to chop or grind away at something to get to the essential truth, potential, or reality.

Pisces
It’s time for a reality check and you will be faced with situations that challenge your maturity level. You’ll succeed if you proceed with caution and follow the wisdom of your elders. If you attempt to ignore or escape, it will all soon catch up with you. Don’t be afraid to make a decision and stick with it.
