August 2014 Horoscope for Each Sign of the Zodiac


Aries (March 20 - April 19)
You’ve always been fond of taking risks, but this August take thoughtful risks, analyzing what you could lose and what you could win. This is your opportunity to create a meaningful change in the world. Sports have always been one of the most thrilling experiences for you, but now your charts call for something more. You are searching for an adventure which involves passion, intelligence, and the chance to learn and grow. In choosing the best option out there, consider the long-term benefits of what you want to do.

Taurus (April 19 - May 20)
August will bless you with an atmosphere of domestic bliss. It’s the best time to design your dream home and dream family life. Allow your imagination to run free and to create everything in the smallest detail: the furniture, the quality of light, how you would organize spaces, etc. In going through this creative process, your mind will change. You’ll detach yourself from your parents’ concepts related to the idea of home, and you will design instead the home of your dreams.

Gemini (May 20 - June 21)
Lately, you’ve had to do  a significant amount of soul-searching and choose your life values. Now that the reflection phase has ended, it’s time to take massive action and to express yourself. Simply thinking about what you want to do isn’t actually doing, just like thinking about painting isn’t actually painting. If you don’t act upon your plans, you could get caught in the habit of considering your possibilities without ever acting upon them. This August get busy turning your ideas into reality.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
The current astrological circumstances promote a state of abundance in your life, a state which you should match with your own vibrations and energies. It’s a call for a vision. Sit down with a piece of paper and create a set of compelling goals. While most people foster negative emotions regarding money, such as irritation, fear, and anxiety, you have to go in the opposite direction. Acknowledge the abundance around you, the bounties of this universe and of this life, and embrace it all.

Leo (July 22 - August 23)
The stars conspire for your well-being; everything leans in your favor, yet you feel insecure. Although you experience a feeling of promise that things will go incredibly well, you have no idea what step to take next. There may be a wealth of options available, abundance which probably creates a bit of confusion and anxiety in your life. You may think that life just can’t be as good as you imagine it, but it can. As it has been already said, the stars work in your favor, so all you have to do is to muster courage and passion from within, and act.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Relationships are your main focus during this period of time. You are probably wondering why relationships are so difficult. Judgment, expectations, past baggage – they all weigh down a relationship no matter how much love, desire, and passion may be in it. Truth is that love involves the risk of not being in control at all times, and who likes not being in control? Nobody. Take the time to fully evaluate what you want from a relationship, what you are ready to offer, and what compromises you’re willing to make.

Libra (September 22 - October 23)
Now that Mars has finally left your sign, you can focus on the dynamics of your relationships. You will experience a major change in this area: you will start looking inwardly for the fulfillment which you’ve sought so far only in relationships. Astrological factors in your chart indicate that you are a beautiful person inside out, providing a powerful example for those around you. This August you have the opportunity to reconnect with yourself on a deeper level and to find that sweet spot where your relationships with others are not rooted in the need for self-completion. Seek to root your connections in the desire of sharing great moments with people who are themselves whole.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 22)
Mars spent eight months in a sensitive angle of your chart – the solar 12th House – and now it has ingressed your sign.  This will instill in you the strong conviction and confidence that you know what you want. Human beings are generally driven by desire: to live and to experience life to its fullest. The important thing to ask yourself is how to do you react when confronted with the power of your own desires, how do you go about fulfilling them. During the past few weeks, you’ve been mostly focusing on the moralistic and/or control side, so it would be a good idea to develop a system which will allow you to recognize when you’re unnecessarily judging yourself and those around you.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 22)
This August you should focus on your plans, and not just any plans, but specific ones. Write it down on a piece of paper to make it feel “tangible” and “doable.” Decide to go to specific places, to spend time with specific people, to cook specific meals, and so on. Mars and Jupiter’s energies combined require you to focus all your knowledge into a course of action. Don’t be afraid of making concrete plans and commitments – they don’t have to be permanent, they aren’t written in stone, and they don’t have to be your life-long plans. Just get specific about what is significant now, about that which your soul seems to call you to do. Pursuing your dreams and goals will build up your confidence.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 20)
You’re in a tricky place right now. On one hand, you feel that you’re on the right track, but on the other hand, you sense that there is an obstacle ahead. You’re most likely overthinking and creating obstacles where there are actually none. There’s one general truth about life: nothing is certain. However, this shouldn’t cause angst and pain. The fact that nothing is certain could prove to be your best ally, because it helps you stay open-minded, keeping your potential open. Right now, you have to live in the moment, responding to your current environment in such a manner that you may grow and live a rich life from all points of view.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 19)
With Jupiter in your opposite sign Leo for the next year, a whole new world of relationships opens up for you. This results in a general feeling of ‘more and better.’ Jupiter will bring in your life a longing for freedom. Embrace it and make the best out of it. This planetary transit also requires you to decide whether those around you are who you perceive them to be. While you may find many wonderful attributes in others, you should get to know them well before labeling them. Furthermore, your charts are calling on you to action, so get energized, excited, and confident, and start doing things which will add value to your life.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
This month can be one of the most productive times in your life. There is a wealth of options opening up before you. This aspect together with the fact that you have tremendous freedom and energy is bound to make you thrive in August. There may have been moments in your life when you felt that you offer too much to the world, while very little comes back in return. Don’t feel resentful about it. Remind yourself that in offering yourself, you improve both your life and the lives of others. A small tip for this month: choose what you really want to do, plan for it, commit to it, and make things happen.

What a coincidence, just today I nearly took quite a risk until my mother called for me to think it through thoroughly first! Accurate horoscope.

My Pisces self has been having a difficult time for about the last 6 months with obstacles on several different fronts at once but, I feel like it all culminated on that last day of July and, for some reason (don't ask me WHY), I feel like going forward starting in August might be better.

Funny this one is about relanships as I have been rethinking many of mine lately.

Amazing! I do tend to think about all kinds of plans without acting on them.

Apparently I'm going to be more judgmental of myself and others.

Sounds like I need to get busy and start turning my ideas into realities!

This seems to be about right for the Leo.

Ceres and Our Inner Emotional Life

Ceres connections in synastry can reveal how one person accepts (or doesn’t) their partner’s nurturing. “Nurturing” is defined as caring for someone, and fostering their growth. Ceres (or Demeter) is named after the Goddess of the crops. She had a daughter (Persephone) and they were close. So close, in fact, that Ceres never wanted to let her go. Then Pluto (or Hades) kidnapped Persephone and dragged her off to the Underworld. Ceres’ grief was intense. In retaliation, she denied mankind their food by making the crops wither and die; she was hurting, so everyone else would as well. A deal was eventually struck with Pluto, and Persephone was allowed to spend part of the year above ground, with her mother. This was when Ceres allowed the crops to grow. When Persephone spent the rest of the year below ground, the crops were dormant. So Ceres’ cycle of growth and loss reflects the cycle of life. In your chart, her sickle-shaped glyph describes how you handle that cycle.Aspects to Cer...

Venus in Aquarius: What to Expect

What's Up:   Take note, Venus is in Aquarius from March 5th to April 5th in 2014.  The fresh air whirls around in love and friendship, with Venus in this air sign.  This follows a long, 'heavy' time with Venus in Capricorn (early Nov 2013 to March 5th).  The 2014 March forecast features Venusian behavior, with aspects that free relationships from deeply ingrained patterns.  A key word is freedom, to update our social lives, to align with who we've become and are becoming.  Social Buzz Venus has been under the influence of Saturn, the planet of responsibility while in Capricorn.  Now the love planet has some  breathing room  in this air sign--  what's favored is meeting others in a friendly, detached way. The Venus Aquarius  natives  are restless, and ready to break with convention.  The same tired way of engaging, stilted etiquette and the habits of being  politicall...

The Sun Signs and Friendship

Friendship is an essential part of our lives and sometimes friends matter more than our immediate family and its members. It is said that even the Devil has his own friends. In astrology the 11th house is said to rule friends and their relationships. Astrology gives much importance to relationships like spouses, partners or lovers but friendship related issues are usually shooed off. But in this age where divorce rates are going over the roof friendship is what makes people to remain glued together come what may. Apart from the 11th house, the 4th, 5th and the 7th houses also have their say in friendship. Some astrologers say that the 11th house is a social house. The 3rd-house friendships are with neighbors, the 4th house rules friends with whom we live and are part of the our family, 5th-house friendships are with people we go out and have fun with, 7th-house friends are particularly close and in a partnership, and 9th-house friendships are those we form in educational situatio...
