Transits and Horoscopes for August 2016

---

August New Moon

The month begins with a new Moon in Cancer and Ashlesha nakshatra on the 2nd, instigating Sarpa energy for the waxing cycle. Use the August waxing cycle to maximize your heart power, inner energy and dharmic potential by finding your most essential core needs.

Jupiter in Virgo

On August 11th, Jupiter makes the leap to Virgo. Jupiter transits are one year long and impact all levels of wisdom, knowledge, comfort and support. He leads you to your dharmic path and supports the nourishment gained along the way.

Saturn has been retrograde in Scorpio for many months in an on-again off-again dance with Mars. On August 13th, Saturn goes direct, causing depth and transformation to start moving in a forward motion.

Sun in Leo

Just before the full Moon, on August 16th at 06:46 MDT, Sun shifts to its own sign, Leo, joining a full house of planets. Venus, Rahu and Mercury are still transiting this fire sign that exudes masculinity and power.

August Full Moon

Full Moon arrives on the 18th as Moon steps into Aquarius and Dhanishta nakshatra.

Mercury in Virgo

As Mercury moves to its favorite sign on August 19th, there will be a moment of strength with mind and body.

Venus in Virgo

Just as the 25th arrives, Venus leaps into Virgo, joining exalted Mercury and Jupiter here. This cycle of Venus provokes a lopsided energy of big, strong creativity, mixed with vulnerability and sensitivity simultaneously.

*Horoscopes are based on your Vedic (sidereal) rising sign. You can also check your Moon and Sun signs for further insight. Do the same with your Navamsa signs for further clarity. Do not use these horoscopes with your Western sign (Tropical) as there is likely no correlation. These horoscopes are meant to be used as a broad overview of the current transits and obviously do not address the specifics of an individual’s unique chart.


Aries: Focus on home and heart until mid month, then bring light into your romantic relationships, as well as children and intuition. Shine brighter and honor your gut wisdom more consciously. You're either helping your digestion or not.

Taurus: Your heart, home and mother are a powerful focus this month. Be courageous and creative. Take steps towards your liberation and notice where you are avoiding or neglecting your soft inner realms. There is healing possible right now.

Gemini: Creativity and courage take center stage right now. Your hands are alive and active! Use them to re-create your life and bring your visions into form. Part of you is ready to leap forward and yet there are obstacles with the steps. 

Cancer: Your mouth is a big focus right now. What you say, eat, share and express are all powerful and charged this month. Learn to refine and refocus what goes in and out of your mouth. This is connected to your power and ability to be seen and heard.

Leo: This is a potent month for you. It’s as though everything is happening at once and yet things aren’t happening fast enough. Challenges and frustrations arrive with change and transformation. Stay true to your inner guidance system and learn to simplify. 

Virgo: Deep liberation and letting go are arriving right now. Release and align within. Spend time alone and in meditation. Integrate, balance, hit reset. You are digesting the final pieces of Jupiter in Leo which is the end of a 12 year cycle for you. 

Libra: Gains are awakening and stirring you, however pausing is necessary in order to integrate the changes. Keep focusing on career and being seen until mid month, then step into your power more fully for maximum support.

Scorpio: The cosmos is asking a lot of you right now. There’s so much willingness for change and transformation, yet resistance and obstacles hindering your steps. Where are the blockages within your heart that are keeping you from making bigger leaps?

Sagittarius: Dharma is fully charged and active right now. Are you stepping towards or away from your path and purpose? What obstacles are showing up to thwart your progresses? What resources are showing up to support you? 

Capricorn: It's a deep and powerful time for inner transformation. This process is awakening your inner power, even if it doesn't feel like it right now. Relationships are shining the light on where the inner work is. Dance with your vulnerability and power.

Aquarius: Relationships are proving to be a complex organism for you right now. There are resources and challenges showing up simultaneously. Are you gathering the insights and letting go of all that is not serving you? It’s time to be radical in the release.

Pisces: Healing has been intense and powerful lately. Clear and clean your gut, in order for more clarity and precision with your awareness and intelligence. Old conflicts and challenges are rising to the surface. You are your own enemy.
