Astrological Forecast for August -2008

Can you sense the change in the season coming?  July was as crazy as crazy can get but right as the soft August breezes shift our way the pace seemed to slow and along with the humidity went away bringing the desire to go get a good book and make time to read it under a huge chestnut tree.

I told you last month to expect the solar eclipse on the 1st which is the first time this has happened since 2006.  The eclipse is going to go on during a new moon so this will be a wonderful time to start any new projects or begin a new health or exercise routine.  This time looks so promising that I am going to start my own diet on Friday so if you need a buddy feel free to email so that we can support one another.   Remember not to plan any major event such as a wedding or surgery and so on … Wait until next weekend like we are.  My daughter Nicole is getting married on the 9th which looks to be a much better time to tie the knot then during a solar eclipse. A little special forecast starting with Thursday the 7th. We are in a Scorpio moon which keeps us soft and cuddly and full of promise. The wedding day has the moon in Sagittarius which means its party time. There are many aspects here that will go unnoticed if you make sure to dot all of your I’s and cross all of your T’s.  Delegate as much as you can so that you can enjoy this weekend. With everyone pulling together, there will be majick in the air…  Love abounds and surrounds you.

Moving thru August you will find that this time will give you the energy to continue to stick to your diet or new routine.  If you have an opportunity to go next door to check on your elderly neighbor please do it.  Practice random acts of kindness this week.  Everything you start this week will be finished. It is one of the best weeks I have seen in some time for doing just about anything and have positive results.  We do switch gears a bit on Saturday as we enter an Aquarius full moon and lunar eclipse; tread with caution during this time of the month.  In ancient days the lunar eclipse was met with all sorts of fears.  Now, it is best to enter every thing with patience and attention to detail. In fact, do not let important things get by you.

As we start week 3 it is best to say if you have trouble with your temper then its time to take a vacation this week.  Try to avoid people and places that push your buttons because you could find yourself doing or saying things that get you in all sorts of trouble. You are going to be incredibly busy so stay on track.  Make lists and check off what you accomplish all week long.  I actually spin energy during times like this; I take it and reverse it.  For example, if I am told that it is going to be rough week, I draw in all sorts of loving thoughts and energy to make every day positive and memorable.  Try it.  Every time you think you might loose it, remember the last time you laughed really hard or loved with a full, warm heart.

The end of August is a time when I have a really hard time leaving my home or sweet business.  I call this time “shut the shutters time”.  I have never been one to know or understand people who spread vicious gossip, but this time of the year seems to be the time when rumors and half truths will be whispered about the most innocent.  Try to stay away from all of it.  Remember if a fire has no oxygen, it will not spread. End the month giving love to your home and hearth.  Organize your surroundings and start preparing for the change of season.   This is a good time to do yoga or meditate.  Our planet is desperate for positive energy so help out.  Take even 5 minutes a day and think a wonderful thought or as said before, do something for someone else.   Give freely and love deeply.  Help be the change we need in order to bring balance to this planet.  Remember, August’s element is “Fire’. If I had to pick one word to go with this month it would be “Drama”.  Keep that in mind, spin the energy and have fun!

In Light.
