August Horoscope 2019 – Overview
August 1st, we feel a fog lift from our minds; Mercury goes Direct, freeing us from chaotic energies. We take a breath with tremendous relief as communication and travel plans become more predictable. The first of August also brings the New Moon in Leo, allowing us to bask in the joys of self-discovery and self-expression.
In August, we’ll deal with the influence of Saturn Retrograde, so we aim for healing and transformation. Chiron Retrograde remains an influence until December, working in unison with Saturn, to help us heal old wounds and rid ourselves of old emotional codes. We’ll face Karmic debts or receive gifts stemming from good Karma, depending on our actions in current and past lifetimes.
August 2nd, transiting Venus Square Uranus has us questioning the strength of an existing love affair. We long for more space and crave independence, causing us to distance ourselves from our partner. Until we’ve explored the old wounds surfacing in our consciousness, it’s not a time to make any permanent changes.
August 8-9th, transiting Venus Trine Jupiter brings positive energies in great abundance to uplift all areas of our lives. Then, Lion’s Gateway opens on August 8th, where cosmic energies balance out existing imbalances. It’s a nice reprieve after recovering from a tumultuous July. Harmony, peace of mind, and prosperity reign.
On August 16th, transiting Mercury Square Uranus creates an energetic disruption triggering a brief period of tension and stress. We can expect the unexpected. August 21st, transiting Mercury trine Jupiter influence heightens our enthusiasm when we receive information that uplifts our spirits.
August 23-25th, transiting Venus Conjunct Mars has us looking for a new love if we aren’t in a relationship already. In an existing love affair, we are looking for greater intimacy. August 30-31st, a Sun Conjunct Mars influence brings an influx of extra energy we can use to conquer the tasks we’ve been putting off, allowing us to accomplish more than we imagine possible.
