I follow the Vedic calendar; this is the monthly solar
horoscope for birthdays from 16th July to 15th August or Cancer Ascendants and Moons
It’s
still your birthday month, so happy birthday Cancer! As we head into August the
stellium in Gemini is still in place connected to the ongoing Grand Trine in
air with Saturn and Neptune. During these times, we tend to be highly
idealistic, we intellectualise situations and issues but we are also more
social during this time. We formulate our ideas, develop connections and
expanding our mental faculties with greater ease. All of the airy Gemini
energy opposes transformative Pluto, who, in your 6th house
of health, work, pets but also conflict and arguments has been changing how you
go about your routines over the past years. All of this also means that even
though it’s still your birthday month, you may not have felt particularly
cheery and outgoing – just yet. You’re still digesting the past year and the
experiences you’ve made, you’re still debating where to go next in career and
relationships and, more than anything, where. If you’re feeling a little confused and even overlooked at the
beginning of August, don’t worry, you need the time to recuperate.
Things
will soon get very busy for you and after the first week of August, you’ll feel
the change in the air. You’ll be communicating a lot, using or building your
social media skills as you build your client base, make new contacts or do some
online dating. The new Moon on 6th August
in your own sign is the best time to start these new ventures, projects and activities
– give it six months and you should see some incredible results.
This new
Moon is in the nakshatra of Aszlesa, ruled by Mercury. It’s the intimate
connection and embrace. It’s where we find emotional strength to defeat your
enemies. It’s also a time when we are emotionally needier than at others times
and with Mercury, the ruler of this nakshatra in the same sign of Cancer, you
or others in life may speak before they think and react to events more
emotionally and even harshly with Saturn eye on this new Moon. All of this is
connected to your finances and if negotiations don’t go your way immediately, take
a step back. However, I feel that money-wise you don’t need to worry this month
(and especially next month!) – it’s looking excellent. For some you, a boost in
your finances may be down to a property sale you’ve been waiting for since
earlier on in the year.
Cancerians,
like the other cardinal signs (Aries, Libra and Capricorn), have been under
some pressure from Saturn and the eclipse cycle. I know I’ve already said this
last month but now, with the new Moon in your sign and planet moving out of
your house of loss, liberation and behind the scenes activities, you are really
ready to start implementing your long-hedged plans. Again, a lot of this is
connected to your finances but a lot also has to do with your home, where you
want to live, your emotions and your past. You’re currently rebuilding the
foundations of your life and if you’ve felt as though you’re wandering through
a thick cloud of fog over the past months and weeks, you’ll soon see how valuable
that preparation phase was. You’ll also see that you are probably only now
ready to go out and get that new job or open up to a new relationship. This
month, your home could become your office as changes around your work and
finances are imminent.
Once
Mars moves into your sign on 19th August,
there is no holding back anymore. Although Mars doesn’t feel very comfortable
in Cancer as he can’t direct his energies very productively, he feels quite
comfortable in an angular house – your solar 1st. This
gives you just a little bit more energy and bite to implement those career
plans and attract the right people to do business with to you. Plus, an extra
dose of confidence has never done any harm, especially for a Cancerian.
The full
Moon on 21st August is in your 8th house
of joint finances and resources, conjunct Neptune and this is a time when
things could get a little topsy turvy. Whatever comes to a conclusion, a peak
or an end is connected to what began in February 2012. You may pay off a loan,
get one approved or pay off a tax bill – of you realise where the shortfalls
around your finances are. Equally, this may also be the time when you hold
discussions about salary with a current or new employer or with your
international client base. Connections to abroad are still very strong this
month.
August ends
with all planets, not counting Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, spreading out in six
subsequent houses. Vedic astrology calls this Kal Sarp Yoga when all the
planets are hemmed between Rahu and Ketu or the Moon’s nodes. With this
combination, there is a rather deep and complex compulsion across the axis of
the nodes – Aries and Libra, your areas of home and foundations vs. your life
direction and career. Where now do a lot of subconscious processing of the
past, we’re more withdrawn as we work on unresolved emotions. Across the Aries
and Libra axis, there is a lot of growing beyond unhealthy relationship
patterns and how we communicate in relationships.
Apart
from more awareness – or urgency - for you Cancer, the end of the month could
be a time of some temporary anxiety around your profession and life direction,
so keep your confidence up and remind yourself that whatever situation you are
in, you’ve been working towards some sort of a change in many ways. And this
doesn’t come without treading into new and unknown territory.
Have
great month, Cancer!

I follow the sidereal calendar; this is the monthly
solar horoscope for birthdays from 16th August to 15th September or Leo Ascendants and Moons
Happy
birthday Leo! For the past few months, your circle of friend and acquaintances
expanded with newcomers from all directions, cultures and walks of life or,
equally, you may have felt like joining a club or an interest groups with a
diverse range of people. There certainly was some sort of movement within your
friendship group and the people you surround yourself with which first and
foremost opened your eyes and mind to something that’s different and new and
secondly, changes in this area ensure you are centre stage! Perhaps you
currently find yourself as the group leader or maybe you are the one organising
all the get-togethers, ensuring the social calendar remains full to the brim. As
a result, you have been quite busy, mingling your way through those hot June
and July nights. If you are single, then August is still a good time to meet
someone special.
One of
the areas on your life that could also see some improvement are your finances.
The way you reach out to people and communicate with the masses is
expanding and you may find yourself with a lot more work or rather eager new
business contacts that help you fill your bonus pot. As head into August the stellium
in Gemini in your 11th house of gains, profits and
bonuses supports that.
The
stellium of Jupiter, Mars and Mercury is connected to the ongoing Grand
Trine in air together with Saturn and Neptune. During these times, we tend to
be highly idealistic, we intellectualise situations and issues but we are also
more social during this time. We formulate our ideas, develop connections and
expanding our mental faculties with greater ease. All of the airy Gemini
energy opposes transformative Pluto, who, in your 5th house
of fun and romance has changed the way you feel about and experience love as well
as how you present yourself.
So, with
Pluto in the mix too, we now have a Kite aspect. The influence of the Kite pattern
is similar to Grand Trines but where a trine is easy and we might not even
notice it if we don’t pay attention, the Kite motivates and opens up potential.
The vocal point of the Kite is, again, in
Gemini, your house of hopes, friends, the masses and gains. A lot is happening in
this area, new people are coming in and your social scene may become more
international by the week. This is a fun time!
Mercury then changes
signs on 5th August 2013 and moves into Cancer just before the new Moon in the same
sign on 6th August. This continues your annual wind-down phase just before your birthday. I
don’t think the party invites start drying up but you feel like you need to
have some time to yourself and with planets now gathering in your house of
behind the scenes activities, your ideal place to be is now likely to be at
some beach where you can look out onto the see and review and digest the past
year. For Leos, whenever the Moon is involved and especially this month in your
house of meditation, loss and liberation, there is usually an urge or a longing
to get away from it all for a while and have a break even if it’s just in the
form of daydreaming. The 12th house
is not a tangible house, it has more to do with our fantasies and intuition.
This new
Moon is in the nakshatra of Aszlesa, ruled by Mercury. It’s the intimate
connection and embrace. It’s where we find emotional strength to defeat your
enemies. It’s also a time when we are emotionally needier than at others times
and with Mercury, the ruler of this nakshatra in the same sign of Cancer, you
or others in life may speak before they think and react to events more
emotionally and even harshly with Saturn eye on this new Moon. If can, take a
step back.
Once the
Sun moves into your 1st house
of self on 16th August, you’ll be back to your old
self and a lot of what you desire, you can now attract to you. Ensure that this
is what you do instead of running after it – you have Neptune, the planet of
illusion in opposition, in your area of committed relationships, so sometimes
with this transit, you think you want something which then turns out to be a
fata morgana. You may also need to be aware of false business partners who promise quick money-making schemes that sound too
good to be true. On the other hand, it may be that you have to look after a
partner or someone else close to you as they need your moral support. It can
mean the end of a spell or an illusion in a certain relationship for better or
for worse or your partner is physically not there because he is travelling with
work or abroad / far away for some other reason or he is somewhat
absent-minded. It can mean the end of a certain idea of how the relationship is
or should be. In any case, there will be an element of realisation to do
with relationships around this time.
The full
Moon on 21st August is in your area of committed relationships and around this time,
you will really see where your partner needs your help. He or she may have lost
a little bit of direction recently and is looking to you for guidance. Nothing
wrong with that, just don’t let anyone victimise you. If you are single, this
can be a highly romantic time for you and whatever began 18 months ago in
February 2012 reaches a conclusion now and moves on to the next level.
The
month ends with all planets, not counting Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, spreading
out in six subsequent houses. Vedic astrology calls this Kal Sarp Yoga when all
the planets are hemmed between Rahu and Ketu or the Moon’s nodes. When you read
about this yoga, I’m not surprised that some people get the fear of god when
reading about this yoga. However, awareness always goes a long way and with
this combination, there is a rather deep and complex compulsion across the axis
of the nodes – Aries and Libra. So, the end of August seems to be a
time where we do a lot of subconscious processing of the past, we’re more
withdrawn as we work on unresolved emotions. There is a lot of growing beyond
unhealthy relationship patterns and, for you Leo, how you
communicate in relationships especially.
Have a
great month, Leo!

I follow the sidereal calendar; this is the monthly
solar horoscope for birthdays from 16th September to 15th October or Virgo Ascendants and Moons
Virgo, a
lot is moving forward for you this month in particular around our career,
reputation and overall visibility. This
time of the year is always a very outgoing and social time for you and where
the new Moon in July unlocked the potential to make changes in either your
professional life or where you want to go next in life in general, this month
introduces the potential to increase your income through a bonus or other
profits. These can come through your network of friends and business
associates, your client base if you are self-employed or long-term projects
that now land on your desk. All of this
is supported by the stellium in Gemini that’s connected to the ongoing Grand
Trine in air together with Saturn and Neptune.
During
these times, we tend to be highly idealistic, we intellectualise situations and
issues but we are also more social during this time. We formulate our ideas,
develop connections and expanding our mental faculties with greater ease.
All of the airy Gemini energy opposes transformative Pluto, who, in your 4th house has
been changing your tracks over the past years including your home life, where
you live with and with whom. As I mentioned, this is a busy time of the year
with a lot of party invites, networking opportunities and general group
activities highlighted. As a Virgo, you are quite focused on your health, so
early August is a good time to join a health or a diet club. If you do, you’ll
probably make new contacts and friends quite easily this month. However, I feel
that the majority of the networking you’ll be doing is work related. As a
result, your finances look excellent this month and it is not solely through
your own making but bonuses come from your social skills and who you know –
from being in the right place at the right time. Especially after the 10th August,
when Venus, the ruler of your money house moves into your own sign, attracting
the right opportunities to you to increase your bank balance.
Added to
the Grand Trine, we now Pluto in the mix too, forming a Kite aspect. The
influence of the Kite pattern is similar to Grand Trines and the vocal point of
this Kite is in Gemini, your 10th house
of life direction. But where a trine is easy and we might not even notice it if
we don’t pay attention, the Kite motivates and opens up potential. You may have
to wait another month to really see the (financial) results, but in August you
can certainly get the ball rolling. Things could then move quite quickly due to
the square of Uranus, the planet of sudden transformation. This could mean, you
get a call out of the blue from someone offering you a new job or it may be
that there are changes in your partners circumstances that introduce changes in
your own life in particular around the time of the new Moon on 6th August.
This new
Moon is in the nakshatra of Aszlesa, ruled by Mercury. It’s the intimate
connection and embrace. It’s where we find emotional strength to defeat your
enemies. It’s also a time when we are emotionally needier than at others times
and with Mercury, the ruler of this nakshatra in the same sign of Cancer, you
or others in life may speak before they think and react to events more
emotionally and even harshly with Saturn eye on this new Moon. If can, take a
step back.
The full
Moon on 21st August is in your house of work and health. So if you really didn’t get
inspired by the Tour de France or Wimbledon and joined a health club earlier
this month, then this is the time when you realise that you, too, need an
outlet to release the stress. It’s been a hectic time and the work load may be
getting to you a little, so try and take some time out if you
can. Although work may be a bit busy, late August is not a
time when you feel like being out and about all time as opposed to earlier on
in the month and instead, you should make plans to go on holiday. The longing
to get away from it all might be quite noticeable – if you don’t, daily demands
might just get on top of you and manifest in you feeling physically quite
uncomfortable. Try and avoid getting into unnecessary arguments around this
time.
The
month ends with all planets, not counting Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, spreading
out in six subsequent houses. Vedic astrology calls this Kal Sarp Yoga when all
the planets are hemmed between Rahu and Ketu or the Moon’s nodes. With this
combination, there is a rather deep and complex compulsion across the axis of
the nodes – Aries and Libra, the relationship axis. So, the end of August seems
to be a time where we do a lot of subconscious processing of the past, we’re
more withdrawn as we work on unresolved emotions. Across the Aries and Libra
axis, there is a lot of growing beyond unhealthy relationship patterns and how
we communicate in relationships. For you Virgo, this also has to do with your
own self-worth – personal and financial - and what you value in general.
Have a
great month, Virgo!

I follow the Vedic calendar; this is the monthly solar
horoscope for birthdays from 16th October to 15th November or Libra Ascendants and Moons
Libra, as you head into August the ongoing
stellium in Gemini is still connected to the Grand Trine in air together with
Saturn and Neptune. During these times, we tend to be highly idealistic, we
intellectualise situations and issues but we are also more social during this
time. We formulate our ideas, develop connections and expanding our mental
faculties with greater ease. All of the airy Gemini energy opposes
transformative Pluto, who, in your 3rd house
of communication and the mind, has been changing the way you think and debate
over the past years. With Mars, Mercury, Jupiter and the Moon travelling
through Gemini, your solar 9th house
for the first few days in August, you’re in the mood to take off – quite
literally. This is the time of the year where you crave a holiday and perhaps
this year in particular as Saturn is still placing his heavy demands on you to
be disciplined and focused and erase the unnecessary from your life. Not an
easy task so August presents the perfect opportunity to have a break. If you are
single, love might be knocking on the door for you
on your adventures. Equally, you might meet someone if you are taking a higher
education course - perhaps you’ll fall in love with your mentor or teacher! If
you are coupled up, your partner may the one thinking about furthering his
skills in some way, taking driving lessons or he may simply be travelling a
little more this month.
With
Pluto in the mix too, we now have a Kite aspect. The influence of the Kite
pattern is similar to Grand Trines but where a trine is easy and we might not
even notice it if we don’t pay attention, the Kite motivates and opens up
potential. The vocal point of the Kite, again, is in Gemini, your 9th house
of the higher mind, wisdom, luck and philosophy. These early August days can
also be a time when you start looking at things from a different perspective –
to do with what it is you actually belief in, your values and connected to
those also your own (self-)worth and connected to that, your finances. I don’t
think this is a month for major re-evaluation but rather a time when what
you’ve learnt, experienced and understood over the past six or so months, during
the Saturn retrograde period, finally sinks in and you begin to accept the newly emerging you, your transformed
outlook and revised expectations. A great step forward. Your relationships and
expectations connected to those are also part of this process now.
After
the 5th August, your focus shifts slightly and while it’s still holiday season,
your mind may already be back at your desk, evolving around what’s happening in
the office. Whether you like it or not, this is a highly visible – and
potentially lucrative – month for you as Mercury changes signs on 5th August
and moves into Cancer just before the new Moon in the same sign on 6th August.
New new Moon in your house of career and life direction promises a brand new
start at work and in your career, for some of you, potentially your whole life
direction. Saturn is still in your sign and you’ve already had to go through
some tough realisations, endings and situations of letting go, some very
painful. However, over the past months, you learnt some
very valuable lessons which, hopefully, made you emotionally a
little stronger and prepared for what’s to come. You’ve learnt how to set boundaries
and now, you want to see some results. And so you will. The new Moon at the
top of your chart helps you along to initiate some important changes connected
to your career, home life, which direction you want to go in next, where and
perhaps also with whom. All of it is underpinned by fairly solid finances.
Whatever
it is you will be initiating, things could generally move quite quickly now
with Uranus in trine to the new Moon.
This new
Moon is in the nakshatra of Aszlesa, ruled by Mercury. It’s the intimate
connection and embrace. It’s where we find emotional strength to defeat your
enemies. It’s also a time when we are emotionally needier than at others times
and with Mercury, the ruler of this nakshatra in the same sign of Cancer, you
or others in life may speak before they think and react to events more
emotionally and even harshly with Saturn’s eye on this new Moon. If can, take a
step back.
Around
the time o the full Moon in Aquarius on 21st August
you’re in a much more dreamy mood, you mind tends to drift off once in a while
and you may want to withdraw a little bit. This full Moon is conjunct Neptune
and takes place in your 5th house
of fun, creativity, romance and children. All of these are now part of what’s
happening next. So, again, if you are single, then you might meet someone
special around this time or, equally, a pregnancy could be on the cards – after
all, the ruler of this house, Saturn, is currently exalted and going moving
over your Ascendant. This is often an indication of a pregnancy. However, your
children, if you have any could also be a lot more demanding at this time. Think
about what began around 21st
February 2012 and you’ll get the idea.
The
month ends with all planets, not counting Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, spreading
out across six subsequent houses. Vedic astrology calls this a Kal Sarp Yoga
when all the planets are hemmed between Rahu and Ketu or the Moon’s nodes. With
this combination, there is a rather deep and complex compulsion across the axis
of the nodes – Aries and Libra, the relationship axis. The end of August seems
to be a time where we do a lot of subconscious processing of the past, we’re
more withdrawn as we work on unresolved emotions. Across the Aries and Libra
axis, there is a lot of growing beyond unhealthy relationship patterns and how
we communicate in relationships. For you Libra, a lot of this also has to do
with your approach to partners and partnerships – are you ready?
Have a
great month, Libra!

I follow the sidereal/Vedic calendar; this is the
August 2013 horoscope for birthdays from 16th November to 15th December or Scorpio Ascendants and Moons
Scorpio,
you’re no stranger to emotions that run deep and looking naked truth in the
eye. This month, your ruler Mars is transiting the 8th house
of secrets and transformation, the area in the chart traditionally ruled by
Scorpio. At the same time, your 12th house
of behind the scenes and your intuition, not dissimilar to the 8th house in some
ways, is heavily aspected. For some time now, you may have felt that things are
changing and shifting but you can put your finger on it. One of the meanings of
these transits it that a cycle is ending for you and you are shedding some old
skin. Much of this can also have to do with family affairs and the status quo
changing with regards to family finances, inheritance and tax matters. Perhaps
this month, you are the one handling the family finances, the will and the
estate. This area in your chart is still under major transits from Jupiter and
Mars, your ruler, in the sign of Gemini.
The
stellium in Gemini is connected to the ongoing Grand Trine in air together with
Saturn and Neptune. During these times, we tend to be highly idealistic, we
intellectualise situations and issues but we are also more social during this
time. We formulate our ideas, develop connections and expanding our mental
faculties with greater ease. All of the airy Gemini energy opposes
transformative Pluto, who, in your 2nd has
been changing your value system, relationships with family members and your
levels of income.
With
Pluto in the mix, we now have a Kite aspect. The influence of the Kite pattern
is similar to Grand Trines but where a trine is easy and we might not even
notice it if we don’t pay attention, the Kite motivates and opens up potential.
The vocal point of the Kite is in Gemini, your 8th house
of shared resources, inheritance and also intimacy. This has been ongoing for a
number of weeks now and a lot may have changed and opportunities may have
opened up since Jupiter’s, arrival in this house, which could have led to your
income rocketing recently.
A lot of
this may also have to do with your rising profile at work – you may be on the
way to a promotion later on in the month or a new position is emerging in
September. Until then, you’ll be busy drawing attention to your excellent
negotiation skills and your ability to pull in the best deals. Success doesn’t
always be at your front door so you may have to travel quite a bit this month –
both for work and pleasure.
While
your reputation at work is on the increase and your busy working away at your
career to ensure you’re in the best possible spot for a rise and a promotion,
your mind may still wander off to far-away places at times. Mercury changes
signs on 5th August 2013 and moves into Cancer just before the new Moon in the same
sign on 6th August. For you Scorpio, this can certainly indicate a trip abroad, a
respite from worrying about your finances and perhaps your future. This new
Moon is in a good angle to your own sign and represents your annual renewal of
what you belief in; it’s about having faith in yourself, your abilities and
your creative skills which are prominent now.
This new
Moon is in the nakshatra of Aszlesa, ruled by Mercury. It’s the intimate
connection and embrace. It’s where we find emotional strength to defeat your
enemies. It’s also a time when we are emotionally needier than at others times
and with Mercury, the ruler of this nakshatra in the same sign of Cancer, you
or others in life may speak before they think and react to events more
emotionally and even harshly with Saturn’s eye on this new Moon. If can, take
a step back.
For the
first half of August and in particular around the new Moon, you may also
rediscover your interest in spirituality, your interest in religion or a
certain subject you’ll want to discover more about. You acquiring some new
skills or knowledge that will be very beneficial for you job seems to be on the
horizon…
This
Moon cycle can also impact the relationship with your father, mentor or
teacher.
The full
Moon on 21st August is conjunct Neptune in your 4th house
and bound to be a somewhat emotional time for you and a new phase in your home
and emotional life is indicated. Perhaps you are moving or your parents are
moving but equally, it could be that the endless uncertainty that comes with
not having a permanent home finally comes to an end. Whatever began back late
February 2012 – a temporary move, a necessary home renovation etc. – is finding
its natural end.
At the
same time, movement in your career is indicated which is connected to the same
cycle. For example, if you are on the lookout for a new position, you could
decide to move for that reason. You may also begin to feel differently about
yourself now with your self-esteem and confidence taking a leap forward as your
reputation reaches its annual peak.
The
month then ends with all planets, not counting Uranus, Neptune and Pluto,
spreading out in six subsequent houses. Vedic astrology calls this Kal Sarp
Yoga when all the planets are hemmed between Rahu and Ketu or the Moon’s nodes.
When you read about this yoga, I’m not surprised that some people get the fear
of God when reading about this yoga. However, awareness always goes a long way
and with this combination, there is a rather deep and complex compulsion across
the axis of the nodes – Aries and Libra. So, the end of August seems to be a
time where you’ll do a lot of subconscious processing of the past, you’re more
withdrawn as you work on some unresolved emotions. Across the Aries and Libra
axis, there is a lot of growing beyond unhealthy relationship patterns and how
you communicate with the other person in relationships. A valuable experience.
Have a great month, Scorpio!
