Virgo Horoscope for August 2015

This is a poignant month for you, Virgo, and a key timing for change. Your artistic self-expression is in definite metamorphosis. Your creative output, and as well your offspring in a physical sense, make up a growing factor in the manner in which you live your life, and in how you find your satisfaction. More and more you are choosing the deeper path as the best way through, honoring a part of yourself that you cannot see clearly, although you know is there. You have recently been having intimations of what is going on for you beneath the surface layers of your personality, and with this current monthly cycle some important piece of this investigation is coming to a head. This is all a stage along the way to integrating a self-concept that, in addition to the outer sides of your personality, prioritizes the inner.

As the month begins, you are two weeks into the New Moon cycle from mid-July that featured your ruler, Mercury, in powerful conjunction with war-like Mars and in opposition with the transformative energies of Pluto. This is therefore an important lunation cycle for you, extending through the first two weeks of August, one in which your energy is high. This is also a time when you are wrapping your mind around the consciousness of further changes taking place within you, especially with regard to Pluto's ongoing placement in the self-expression sector of your solar chart. You are challenged to take up the task of empowering yourself in the way that you create and actualize your ideas. You have, over recent months, been working toward greater ease of artistic production and you might find that this goes better when you take your deep unconscious process more firmly into account, as also symbolized in this month's astrology by the factor of several planets, including Mercury and the Sun, entering into your sector of dream imagination and inner work.

The recent Full Moon of July 31st, just one day before the beginning of the current month, took place with the Sun in this same sector of dreams and unconscious process, with the Moon residing in your sixth solar sector of day-to-day events and health regimens. This sector also describes a potential mission of service to others, so that as you begin to come further into your own power, you could be feeling inclined to be supportive beyond even in your normally helpful attitude. Your recent process also involves finding your path forward in a manner that remains in accord with what you, at base level, truly want. You are becoming more deliberate and conscious about this piece as well. In larger contexts of groups you favor or society at large, you might be asking yourself deeper questions about where your gifts are best applied, and where your ideas belong, as the fashion in which you express yourself continues to transform, develop, and touch into deeper currents of the ways that you choose to channel your life force.

It may also be — during this time when so much energy is in movement in the unseen realms of your subconscious process — that you encounter difficult places within you, old patterns that have outlived their usefulness that yet still remain as walled-off bits of dysfunctional psychic content. Or perhaps there could be more light shone into the darkness below the conscious layers of your personality than feels comfortable. These correspond to the symbolism of Chiron, the Wounded Healer, also highlighted in this month's astrology, and located in your sign, so that issues with early childhood trauma could potentially arise. You may also have sudden realizations or new perceptions this month, especially in the realms of relationship, and in conversations about value, self-worth, and self-love. It is wise to be extra gentle with yourself this month, riding the fine line of allowing your awareness to expand to the edge of where it is comfortable, and not being too hard on yourself for things you might uncover; rather, striving for an open-minded acceptance of whatever it is that you encounter within.

This month could also be filled with twists and turns, and some downright startling or surprising revelations, as corresponds to an equally strong presence of trickster Uranus in your sector of intimacy and personal evolution. There is much that is being stimulated and stirred beneath the surface as you explore your depths, and this could be reflected back to you perhaps most potently in partnership, or the space of intimate connection. Your most important intimacy may be with yourself. It is a good time to try to remember and listen to your dreams, perhaps also recording or journaling about them. Your soul's intention is speaking more audibly to you now, leaving you clues in dream sequences, synchronicities, or other mysterious ways, begging your attention and awareness, so that you may step more fully into the radiance of you who are.
