August '10 Astrology

Written by Vivienne Moran

Travel is pleasantly featured; it appears to be enjoyable and serve as a valuable learning tool. An increasing interest in foreign cultures can open the door to memorable social events held locally or at a distance. New faces coming in on the scene tend to be inspirational. Let your light shine during the August 9 New Moon cycle. It is a suitable time to get well thought-out plans activated, however, communications slow down after August 21 and stumbling blocks could slow down progress. Be persistent and thorough in all undertakings for the remainder of the month.

VIRGO (Aug 24-Sep 23)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VIRGO! Projects that have been limping along should begin to move forward more smoothly as your Personal New Year gets underway. You may experience an increasing desire to bring more structure and stability into your life. Changing some essentials in your immediate environment in order to fit those needs may be much easier than you think. This can be a very productive and growth oriented time. Others are willing to help you in various ways. The opening weeks of August can be a favorable period for re-evaluating your progress to date and redefining your goals. Money matters, work situations and health factors may call for your attention. Although anxious to put new plans in motion, make time to explore all options. Communications are off center come mid August and remain in that awkward condition until September 13. Advancement is slow-moving, however, added measures of determination can override that.

This seems to be a suitable time to do just that. Your higher mind is tuned in to innovative thoughts that have practical application. This attribute can be extremely helpful with the revamping process. Communications are not up to par during the time of the August 24 Full Moon; keep an open mind in matters related to the domestic scene and your life outside of the home. Finances are on an upswing cycle.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19)
On going conditions that have been promoting major changes within your home and career may begin to stabilize.
