Aquarius Horoscope for August 2016

This is a time of investigating further facets of your individuality, Aquarius, and yet one of great compromise and relationship commitment also. You are fully energized in discovering the benefits as well as the responsibilities of partnership connection, even though these are in some ways anathema to the typical individualism of your sign. You could be stepping into the realization that, upon examination, relationship rewards are there for you as well. Two perspectives could actually be better than one. This is also a month that is dedicated to action along lines of curiosity and learning, and searching out the mystical side of life. You find yourself engaged in a kind of waking meditation on the wellsprings that move you, and that seem to emanate from cosmic sources outside of yourself, and yet in the final analysis can be seen to be engendered by the unseen depths of your own inner nature.

As the month begins, you are exploring the feeling tone of your more deeply-held values, over the previous weeks of a subtly exciting summer season occupying your mind and heart to a greater and greater extent, and the manner in which they correspond to a sense of dedication and life mission that has been growing within you. The New Moon of the second day of the month is very energizing for you, and brings up career choices and the results of making the right ones,. This is not entirely lucky, because of the hard work that is also involved, and yet it may be said that in these matters you must make your own luck.

The prominent position of Saturn in your solar chart is matched by that of Neptune, coming into the perfection of his square alignment with his energies of limitation. The station to direct motion of Saturn takes place on the weekend of August 13th, indicating a particularly important timing. There is a strong impulse within you for mystical realities that lie beyond the physical plane, and equally for the here-and-now of practical physicality. These points of view being essentially irreconcilable, the solution lies in giving up insisting on completely adopting either one. Like contradictory concepts of modern physics, where light is declared to be simultaneously a wave and its opposite, encapsulated as a particle, you benefit by simply embracing the paradoxical nature of your situation.
