As much as Saturn in Sagittarius is a need to define our faith, at the core is a search for something more. It’s a sign that inspires us to seek experiences outside of ourself, to take information we gather and make into philosophy.

With Saturn getting ready to turn direct on Friday in the sign of Sagittarius, don’t be surprised if your faith is tested, if you need to define what you believe in, or feel a deepening need to make a commitment.

Happy Monday! Although yesterday Mercury and Neptune opposed each other yesterday, we may still be feeling its confusing effects. If Mercury is communication and thinking then Neptune has a habit of blurring reality.

Venus is in Virgo! True, Venus would probably rather hang out in Leo, a sign known for its fun, creativity, and regal leanings. Yet, to all things a season and Venus’s arrival in Virgo is a reminder that after the party we still need to clean up.

Although we just began a lunar month with Leo’s playful energy in the spotlight, we’ve still got a lot of heavy lifting ahead of us. August will be a month of major commitments, milestones, and turning points. What are you creating?

Lost in the shuffle of yesterday’s Leo New Moon, was Mars’s reentry into Sagittarius, the sign of travel, wisdom, and faith. Hallelujah! Because I’m pretty sure Mars in Scorpio nearly killed us. I mean, look at the last two months? Insert prayer emoji.

New Moon in Leo: The Fire

New Moon in Leo: The Fire

The Sun is the source of life both in the sky and in the astrology chart. It is the spark of the creator that shines through each of the twelve zodiac signs. When the Sun is in Leo, the Sun has returned home and the Leo New Moon is an invitation for us to return to ourselves.

August 2016 Horoscopes

August is Leo season, a time when all of us, regardless of Sun sign, are invited to experience the energies of play, performance, art, and talent. Leo loves a spectacle, so there’s an element of personal display this month. In its purest form, Leo is the sign of creation.

Back in March 2011 we began a story. It was a powerful story, one that initiated a new season in our lives. We may have not known it then, but things were about to radically change. That month Uranus entered Aries, an experience that has not been unlike an earthquake.

Are you ready for change? Uranus will send a jolt through the collective tomorrow when it turns retrograde at 24 Aries. Whether it’s in the form of a breakdown or a breakthrough, something will have to shift, something demands new consciousness.

We’re still in Taurus/Leo mode — gather, create, graze. This is a combination that has been known to like nice things, taking pleasure in the physicality of life. In fact, the Taurus/Leo combo is really important in the creation cycle.

We’re winding down the lunar month this week, a time in the lunar calendar when energy wanes in preparation for the next month. This is a week to take stock of where we’ve traveled since July 4, integrate the lessons learned over an emotional four week period.
