This is another month, Sagittarius, where partnership issues could arise, including issues of intimacy, which can be related to how well acquainted you are with yourself, deep down. Mercury is in retrograde motion beginning on the 4th, and governs your sector of career and professional life, as well as your relationship sector, so that you may expect in the weeks ahead to be questioning, refining, and reviewing these important areas of your life for the more profound inner meaning. The August 4th Leo New Moon makes a nice chime with a Fire sign such as yours and presages a fresh start in the way that you perceive the world around you, your place within it, and how your innermost values can be an important factor in the story of how you empower your own path forward consistent with them. You are in a meditative connection lately with your own insides, and it is significant that you honor this self-sufficiency moving forward. The dramatic Aquarius Full Moon taking place on the 19th signals a fulfillment of your future vision in terms of outer world accomplishment as you also attempt to incorporate course corrections from the Mercury Retrograde period of time lasting, in reality, for almost the entire August month.
The following was written by our guest columnist Elodie St-Onge Aubut of Ninth House Astrology
As August begins you are in the winding down last few days of the Cancer lunation cycle from the previous month. This featured your sector of intimacy and personal evolution – so that there could have been progress on both of these fronts, which are related. Another big factor from July was Pluto, agent for transformational change, located in your communications sector. There could be a factor of curiosity, communication, and learning that is shifting for you over last month and in the coming weeks as well.
The word wanderlust is often used to describe a strong urge or impulse to travel although it can also be used to characterize an inner restlessness or the need to move about and not be stuck in one place. The Leo New Moon on August 4th could awaken your roaming spirit especially if you’ve had to make more concessions than usual on your free time to meet obligations at work or to keep the peace with a partner. As usual, you have your eyes on the prize and a lot of what is taking place relates to the broader vision you have of your future and what you want it to look like. You may be willing to forgo immediate pleasures for the sake of a long-term goal and you could be feeling a need to slow down and adjust your momentum to make things more sustainable.
Mercury is in retrograde from the 4th to the 28th, beginning in a key sector of your chart, related to career and professional life. Mercury later in the month backs off into Leo, or your sector of higher mind and worldview. This is your chance to do a little self-exploration in these areas and could be your cue to assess your sense of direction and ensure that things within you are aligned with what you want and also with what you believe in.
From the 13th to the 15th, things could culminate when Mars conjuncts Jupiter in Gemini, and a mutable T-square subsequently links Mars and Jupiter with Saturn in Pisces and Venus in Virgo. Partners are active now and provide counsel that could interfere with or inform your career choices, while your commitment on your home turf contributes additional responsibilities.
The Full Moon lands in Aquarius on the 19th and shines a light on your skills and your ability to convey, share or teach what you know. Your career and your home life might also be affected. Then too, with Trickster Uranus emphasized, surprises, perhaps involving partners, are likely to be in store, together with unexpected revelations. Your communication habits continue to evolve and the more so, the more you can pay attention to where the universe is tapping you on the shoulder. With Jupiter, your ruler, exactly square to Saturn in Pisces it is also possible that there could be a conflict of interest between the demands of an ongoing relationship and home or family concerns or issues with your dwelling space. Venus in Virgo opposing Saturn may represent a slowing down of what you can accomplish in terms of future goals.
The Sun enters Virgo on August 22nd, bringing a great deal of focus to your career choices that you continue to be involved with.
Mercury turning direct in Leo on the 28th, and Venus entering Libra on the 29th could continue to emphasize your professional and social spheres of activity in the coming weeks. Finding better ways to relax a little could be the way to go.
With the massive changes that are happening now, I highly recommend that folks get a transit report tailored specifically to their chart for the most accurate description of what's in store for you in the months ahead.
