Pisces Horoscope for August 2013

This is another in a long series of life-changing months, Pisces. You are coming into yourself in new ways, and perhaps in sturdier fashion, following the tangle of last month's Mercury Retrograde experience in your self-expression sector. A fundamentally optimistic outlook has prevailed, but has also encouraged you to rethink and to in some manner redefine yourself. In the present month of August, a softer and more resilient you is emerging with however a continuation of the serious purpose and the sense of limitation that you have been feeling lately. There are definitely angels in the woodwork that are ready to come to your aid as you fight the good fight, struggling to understand and eventually transmute into gold your plans for a future that you can really live with.

As the month begins, you are still feeling the intensity of the Last Quarter Moon from the ending days of July, which featured a grand sextile, or six-pointed star formation that included your co-ruler, Neptune, in the early degrees of your sign. Those Pisceans born in February were the most affected, but the alignment had something for nearly everyone. The outer planets Neptune and Pluto were touched off by Venus in your opposite sign, the relationship sector of your solar chart, and by Saturn in your sector of higher mind, as well as by the Moon in Taurus, and Jupiter in your sector of creativity and self-expression. All these planetary archetypes have their role in bringing forth these various areas in ways that continue into the present month.

Most prominently, otherworldly Neptune in the identity sector of your solar chart continues its trine with Saturn through the first week of the month, representing a sense of limitation and practicality that holds back the wildest side of Neptune. This is highlighted by the August 6th New Moon. These antithetical energies have something to offer each other, since the focus and the concentration implied by Saturn serves to ground the visionary and idealistic impulses of Neptune into more concrete manifestation, while the Neptunian archetype opens up the universe to your emerging worldview beyond the narrow limits of Saturnian materialism.

Other psychologically significant planetary archetypes that participate strongly in this month's astrological line-ups are those of Chiron in your sign, along with Uranus in Aries, which occupy the same degree of their successive signs all through August. With the Full Moon configuration of August 20th, Jupiter, in a key position within your solar chart, aspects both. The trickster archetype of Uranus implies fluctuating resources, including finances, but with a positive bounce, while the presence of an activated Chiron in the identity sector of your solar chart implies that you are still dealing with prior wounding, and that epiphanies are likely to continue coming up, regarding how you have handled such early trauma throughout your life, and how you might more profitably shift your approach in this sensitive and vitally important area of ongoing endeavor.

Pluto, residing in your sector of future plans, is also triggered by the transits of the first half of August, and then again in the fall time frame when the square between Uranus and Pluto becomes once more exact. Pluto is the slowest moving outer planet and speaks to a long-term process of transformation of how you see yourself fitting in, meshing with the gears of the social process that surrounds you. It is coming into your psychological reality, deep down, that you do indeed make a difference and that every act of conscience that you make helps to bring the collective society further in its own evolutionary path, mirroring the amalgamation of the contribution of each one of its participants.
