Your
Magical Inner Child
By
Lorelei Robbins
August is the month to tap into your magical inner child as the Sun,
your current consciousness, dances through Leo until the 23rd. Leo Sun
reminds you to play and have fun. What did you do as a child that brought
you joy? What made your heart sing? Sun in Leo encourages you to come
out and play in your world and to connect with the child in others.
 August
is a busy month as the three personal planets, Mercury, Venus and Mars,
all change signs and two planets, Mercury and Pluto, change directions.
On August 7, Venus, the planet of love and relationships, flows into
nurturing Cancer. There's a great opportunity to be more vulnerable
with those you care about and thereby create closer ties and healing
with family and friends. On August 10, Mars, the planet of passion and
action, will desire more efficiency as he cycles into earthy Virgo.
Mercury, the little planet with the giant reputation, will begin
its retrograde cycle on August 9 in Virgo, and then flow back into creative,
fiery Leo on August 24. Mercury in retrograde is the time to review,
revise, reevaluate and regroup. Put off major decisions until after
September 2.
On August 30, Pluto, the planet of power and transformation, will move
forward, ending its five month retrograde journey since March 24. Ideally,
during Pluto's retrograde journey, you have become aware of where
your life was in dire need of rehabilitation and rebirth.
It will become really clear to you now what you value, love and appreciate
in your relationships and what you don't, as Venus has finally returned
to where she was when she went backwards on May 17. You'll know
exactly what action you need to take or not in all of your relationships
now.
Aries (Mar. 21 - Apr.19)
You're known as the pioneer of the Zodiac, dear Ram. Like Star Trek,
going where you've never been before is your thing. Lead, follow
or get out of my way is your mantra. Once you've met the challenge,
it's on to the next thing. Details and efficiency are usually not
your forte. Yet on August 10 when Mars, your guardian angel planet,
cycles into Virgo, the most productive sign in the zodiac, you'll
need to slow down, so you can catch up with yourself. You get this chance
once every two years to dot all your I's and cross all your T's
to make sure that your desires manifest. And while paying attention
to detail is not your thing, you'll find new excitement and challenge
in taking time to make sure what you've created is useful and of
service to others. Definitely, a departure from your usual fare, dear
Aries, but one that can make your dreams come true.
Taurus (Apr. 20 - May 20)
You finally have clarity about what you really love, value and appreciate
and what brings you pleasure. On August 2, Venus, your guardian angel
planet, returns to 26 degrees of Gemini, where she was when she retrograded
on May 17. It's been a long haul, dear Taurus, and has taken every
bit of your patience, persistence and determination to hang in there
with yourself. Venus finally completes her four month journey in Gemini,
the sign of communication, and new talents in speaking and writing may
have emerged lately. On August 7, as Venus flows into Cancer, the most
sensitive and nurturing sign in the zodiac, you'll want to spend
time with family and close friends. This is the time to connect with
siblings to smooth over any rough spots in your relationships.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Ouch! Your relationships have turned you every which way but loose in
the last five months. As an air sign, you usually prefer to keep things
on the light side, dear Gemini, and digging deep into your partner's
psyche and feeling the intensity of them wanting more from you is not
really comfortable for you. Yet in the last few months, you've been
initiated into the depths of relationships as Pluto has been retrograde
in your 7th house, the house of partnership. If things have felt out
of control and the word 'powerless' comes to mind, know that
it's about trusting and surrendering to a power greater than yourself.
If you do, then by the end of the month when Pluto moves forward
again, you will have discovered a deeper, more rewarding and meaningful
connection in your significant relationships.
Cancer (Jun. 21 - Jul. 22)
You've been learning a lot about where your true security and safety
come from, dear Moon child, and that it's high time to be your own
very best mommy and daddy. You are the most emotional sign in the zodiac
and with Saturn transiting in Cancer (which only happens every thirty
years) you feel a greater self-discipline and can be more responsible
for what you're feeling, yes, ALL your feelings. And with Venus
entering your sign on the 7th, you can learn to love and appreciate
your nurturing and sensitive side without feeling that sense of overwhelm
that often goes along with a strong emotional nature. Your relationships
get a real shot in the arm as new and exciting people come into your
life around the 13th, when Venus and Uranus dance cheek to cheek. Be
open to new ways of being, as you open to new avenues of creative self-expression.
Leo (Jul. 23 - Aug. 22)
This is your month to shine! You are the star, the producer and the
director of the Zodiac. No one knows more about their magical
inner child than you, dear Lion. When it comes to love, generosity
of spirit and an open heart, you're a natural. You instinctively
know that when you're having fun, your heart is wide open. You're
easy to spot in any crowd with that big cheshire grin from ear to ear.
It's time to celebrate you and celebrate life, especially around
August 15, at the Leo New Moon. When you decide what you want to create
at your own New Moon, ask yourself two important questions: Is this
fun and can I express more of me? And if you can answer a resounding
yes to both questions, then GO FOR IT... whatever it is.
Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22)
You know you can sometimes feel inadequate and that you’re not
doing it right when despite your every effort things don't seem
to turn out perfectly. Well, dear Virgo, you Good Samaritan of the zodiac,
this is not one of those times. It's time for you to cash in and
reap what you have sown over the last twelve years as Jupiter, the planet
of growth and expansion, has been in your sign since last August. Believe
that everything you touch can turn to gold, especially after the 10th,
when Mars, the warrior planet, begins its sojourn in Virgo until September
26. Mars, in the sign of your Sun, is the time to become one with your
desires. It's o.k. to be selfish now, dear Virgo, as you use this
passionate Martian energy to courageously pursue new and exciting ways
to be of service.
Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22)
August 2 is a special day for you, as Venus, your ruling planet, returns
to where she was when she retrograded on May 17. It should be crystal
clear now what is important in your relationships... what brings you
pleasure and what doesn't. How you share love in your one-on-one
connections with others will become apparent. Are you adding an energy
that is happy and uplifting to those around you? And are they adding
a positive energy to your life? At the very least, your deeper understanding
of the value of your relationships brings you great joy now. On August
7, Venus leaves Gemini, the airy sign of communication, and flows into
Cancer, the most sensitive sign in the zodiac. Your relationships, whether
with lovers, family or close friends encourage deeper connection that
comes from greater sensitivity and vulnerability.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)
Even though Pluto, the planet of power and transformation and your guardian
angel planet, doesn't move forward again until August 30, you'll
be feeling the magic of rebirth all through this month. It's time
to come out of the cave you've been in since March 24 when Pluto
began its retrograde journey. This has been a time of healing and regeneration
for you, dear Scorpio. As the month goes on, it should become clearer
where you are with true power versus control in your relationships.
You've had five months to take inventory of your special talents
and abilities, consequently, you'll feel more in charge of your
professional destiny as the New Moon in Leo on the 15th falls in your
house of career. This is a great time to ask for the raise and apply
for that promotion. You know when you are clear and focused on what
you want, it's hard for anyone to say no.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)
It's been a bit challenging for you this year, dear Archer, with
Jupiter, your ruling planet in Virgo, the sign of efficiency, productivity
and minutia, because you prefer the BIG picture. As the eternal student
of the zodiac, you have probably honed certain skills and learned
new techniques in your job. The adventure for you is in the details
now. And with Pluto in your sign moving forward on the 30th, you're
really feeling your oats now and are unstoppable as you become more
comfortable with expressing your power. Relationships may have given
you quite a run for your money as Venus has been in your 7th house since
April, and spent six of those weeks going backwards. But not to worry,
your natural optimism and philosophical nature help you see the meaning
and purpose in every encounter.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)
Venus enters your relationship arena, on the 7th, when she flows into
emotional Cancer. Normally invulnerable and reserved by nature, dear
mountain goat, your relationships require you to show your feelings
and your sensitivity now. It may be a stretch at first but you'll
get the hang of it. Just don't take it on as another obligation,
should or have to. And although usually reserved, disciplined and somewhat
business-like in nature, you may even like it. Even though it’s
uncharacteristic and may feel uncomfortable at first, allow your softer
side to emerge as you nurture others and allow yourself to be nurtured.
And with the Leo New Moon on the 15th lighting up your house of intimacy,
decide on which levels you want to merge more deeply with others...
psychologically, intellectually, philosophically, sexually and financially.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)
The focus is on relationships for you this month, oh rebel of the zodiac,
as the Sun in fiery Leo cycles through your 7th house. There are probably
lots of folks pulling at you and wanting your attention. The important
question is what do YOU want to create in your relationships now, as
the New Moon in Leo on the 15th is an opportunity to plant the seeds
for that which you desire. And as good as that sounds, you may not know
exactly what you want now as Uranus, your guardian angel planet, has
been in retrograde since June 10. That means that your lifelong search
for authenticity and individuality requires you to pull back from your
world as you reflect and contemplate who YOU really are and then, and
only then, can you begin to figure out what you want from others.
Pisces (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20)
With expansive, benevolent Jupiter, one of your two guardian angel planets
(Neptune is the other one) transiting your 7th house for the last
year, the spotlight has been on your connections with others. If you
know of a workshop or seminar on relationships, sign up for it, because
the more you can learn about what really attracts you and why, the happier
you'll be. If committed romantic partnership is something you desire,
and as an idealistic, romantic Pisces I would be surprised if you didn't,
the Universe has heard your call and it's time for you to cash in
because you deserve it. You are now reaping the seeds that you have
sown in relationships over the last twelve years. Believe that you can
have the true give and take in a spiritual relationship that you have
always desired.
