August 2019 All positions are for Midnight EST. The longitudes table indicates each planet’s daily position in the signs. The declinations table shows each planet’s placement north or south of the celestial equator. “R” in a planet’s listing in the longitude table indicates that it begins retrograde motion on that date, or may indicate retrograde status at the beginning of the month. “D” means that the planet has resumed its forward (direct) motion in the signs. Exact times for all of these phenomena are given in the Hourly Guide and in the Planning Calendar on the pages following this one.…

YOUR AUGUST GUIDE 1st-8th: Home improvement. Hanging out with family and close friends may be high on your priority list now, Taurus. On the 7th, the Sun in your solar 4th forms a trine to Jupiter in your solar 8th, so this is the time to focus on your making changes in your home and surroundings. It is a great time to begin renovations or at least make plans to do so sooner rather than later. 9th-16th: Unexpected offer. With the Full Moon shining its light in your solar 10th on the 15th, an unexpected professional opportunity could present itself. Uranus stationing retrograde in your sign on the 11th makes things ripe for a change that can lead you into unexplored territory. Be willing to accept a new challenge; it…

YOUR AUGUST GUIDE 1st-8th: Party time. Celebrate your achievements with people you love, Leo. With Venus, Sun, and Mars all gathering in your sign, you will exude confidence and take pride in your appearance. As a result, people are attracted to you so you may be overloaded with invitations. Pace yourself as you try to pick and choose wisely which ones to attend. 9th-16th: Expressing gratitude. With the Full Moon highlighting your solar 7th on the 15th, you will be reminded about all the people in your life who have provided you with love and support.

YOUR AUGUST GUIDE 1st-8th: Unexpected assignment. Long overdue professional recognition may come your way this week, Scorpio. On the 7th, the Sun in your solar 10th forms an inconjunct to Saturn in your solar 3rd so you may get a new assignment that requires unexpected travel. Ask your family to take up the slack at home—at least temporarily—and you will be able to manage it all. 9th-16th: Help from home. Work demands may keep you from going out of town to take care of that new business. With the Full Moon shining in your solar 4th on the 15th, your family can rise to the occasion by helping out more at home. They continue to show love and support, so do something special to let them know how much you…

YOUR AUGUST GUIDE 1st-8th: Soul mate. Romance and passion will be foremost in your mind, Aquarius. With Venus, Sun, and Mars in your solar 7th, plan an intimate retreat with your significant other. If unattached, this is the perfect time to search for a soul mate. A singles weekend, a cruise, or a social gathering is the place for you to be. Don’t expect instant results; just get back in the game. 9th-16th: Shine creatively. With the Full Moon shining in your sign on the 15th you will light up any room that you enter. You may not be used to brimming with confidence, but take advantage of where it leads. If you have been afraid to show off an artistic talent, this is the time to express your creativity…

If there is one planet in particular that always manages to wake us up and keep us moving it is Mars, and according to the article you’ll find on page 32, the red planet will be extra red-hot this month. In fact, though August may be the time when it is most active, it actually started heating up in July and will continue stirring things up well into September. The article “Telecasters, Tattlers, and Talkers” on page 38 presents us with an interesting study of people who bring us the news over the airwaves and over the Internet. The author’s aim is to show us how to use basic astrological patterns to understand what makes one person different from another. Surprisingly, it also suggests that sometimes the simplest of these…

Mars, the dynamic planet, governs energy, drive, ambition, sexuality, assertiveness, and the desire to make one’s mark in life. Certain combinations of Mars by sign or aspect tend to suppress the familiar characteristics of this planet, but others tend to bring them out in full fiery flower. Mars entered Leo on July 1, so he has been building up energy in the forceful sign of the lion for a while, and August begins with the planet at 19 Leo, pumped up to the height of its energy and poised for some exciting action before it leaves Leo on August 18. On that date he moves into Virgo, where he will remain for the rest of the month. This gives us a useful way to study the energy of this planet…

We perhaps don’t usually think of Venus and Saturn as having all that much in common, as Venus seems connected with the warmth of love and the heat of passion, and Saturn seems connected with coldness and restriction. Further, Venus has to do with relationship, where Saturn has to do with boundaries, not only literal ones like walls and borders, but metaphorical ones like fear and an inner sense of limitation. But, of course, Venus rules Libra, the sign of Saturn’s exaltation. So what gives? Venus, Saturn, Standards Both planets are concerned with standards: The Venus-Saturn connection, through Libra – called “La Balance” in French, “the scales” – reminds us not only to remember that Venus relates not just to love, but with other matters as well, and that Saturn…

On the 7th, the Sun in your solar 12th forming a trine to Jupiter in your solar 4th suggests that a dream vacation need not focus on constant travel. Outdoor activity is the name of the game. If it rains, catching up on reading will help while away the hours. 9th-16th: Family matters. Jupiter stations direct in your solar 4th on the 11th, so vacation ideas may take a new turn.

August will be an interesting month, with the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars all spending time in glorious Leo. You can make this a period of great creativity, as all these planets stimulate not only your libido, but also your desire to have fun and to express yourself. You’ll think about a variety of things in August, as the mental planet, Mercury, visits three signs: Cancer, Leo, and Virgo. You will have to be patient in August, as five planets spend time in the retrograde mode. Don’t worry if things move more slowly than you want. You can use the extra time to review, rework, redo, or refine your ideas or your work. Think of this retrograde period as the universe giving you a second chance. When August arrives, the…

Venus entered Leo back on July 2, enters Virgo on August 21, and enters Libra on September 14, so if we extend the usual month-long scope of this column to include the period from July 28 through September 14, we can speak about transiting Venus’ challenging aspects a) from Leo to natal Saturn positions in Fixed signs, and b) from Virgo to Natal Saturn positions in Mutable signs. Let’s do this in three steps: first giving the relevant dates; second, looking at Venus as a transiting planet and Saturn as a natal one, and third, looking into the Fixed-Mutable business. To summarize: In moving through Leo and Virgo, transiting Venus makes challenging aspects to natal Saturn for people born in the following periods. Venus in Leo (7/28 - 8/21) Opposes Natal Saturn in Aquarius: 1/1903-4/1905,…

YOUR AUGUST GUIDE 1st-8th: Unwind time. Plan to treat yourself to what could be an exciting vacation, Aries.

Unwind, have fun, and get some exercise, but don’t do anything too risky. 9th-16th: Financial stash. Jupiter stations direct in your solar 9th on the 11th, after being in retrograde motion since April 10. Any hesitation you may have had about taking time off last week will disappear as all the elements of planning a trip fall into place. Jupiter is on your side, so a financial stash you may have…

YOUR AUGUST GUIDE 1st-8th: Budget wisely. Take time to review your monthly budget with those closest to you, Cancer. With Venus, Sun, and Mars all situated in your solar 2nd, it is important for you to know how much is available to you so that taking a family getaway will be within your means. It may mean economizing more than you wish, but everyone will understand and support your choices. 9th-16th: Investment review. The Full Moon shines brightly in your solar 8th on the 15th, so review ways to earn extra money or increase your savings. Talk it over with your partner, and perhaps go over your accounts with a financial adviser. You may have good instincts when it comes to investing, but don’t do anything without discussing your ideas…

YOUR AUGUST GUIDE 1st-8th: Create memories. Let your friends know how much they mean to you, even if they do not hear from you often, Libra.

YOUR AUGUST GUIDE 1st-8th: Windfall. You may have a windfall in the form of an insurance claim, investment dividend, or perhaps a winning lottery or raffle ticket, Capricorn. With Venus, Sun, and Mars gathering in your solar 8th you may end the month with at least a little more money than you began. If it’s a small amount, buy yourself a gift; if it’s large, consider investing in a business. 9th-16th: Buying and selling. Windfall or not, explore possibilities now for earning money on the side by doing something that interests you. Selling something you make or collect on eBay or Etsy might be a good place to start.
