I did not include the exact dates of the eclipses, AUG 28 and SEPT 11, in the regular forecasts for the following reason: While the energy might be intense on that day given they are full and new moons, eclipse energy is felt for several months before and after. What I tried to do is highlight the areas where you’re most likely to experience it’s effects.
VIRGO
Happy Birthday Virgo !! Your efficient and dependable sign has been through some tough times. Karmic influences have resuraced forcing you to deal with past issues. Hopefully you’ve hung in there and have not been your own worst enemy! Stay strong as Saturn enters your sign this month. For the next 2+ years you have the ability to pick up the pieces of any emotional or physical debris and rebuild. Health may still be an issue. Notably the stomach. Problems may be difficult to diagnose. (Virgos tend towards alternative medicine and vegetarianism.) It’s an excellent time to start a weight loss program or sign a 2 year gym membership! Self discipline is your best friend, especially after January when work and health fall in line with your personal destiny. Hard work makes Virgos stronger.
The private transformation you’ve been experiencing over the last decade, will ease off at the end of January. Late Virgos may be experiencing more turmoil but it’s only meant to create a whole new you!
Positively, this past year could have brought new, fated relationships. For committed Virgos it should have brought your partner rewards as they progressed towards their destiny.
A lunar eclipse on Aug. 28th, activates your relationship sector. Partnerships continue to be exciting but also unpredictable. Either one of you may be experiencing the need to be free or very independent. It’s make or break time in this department. Secret love affairs are possible. So are spiritual friendships!
A second solar eclipse on the 11th will rock your world exacerbating the energy prior to it’s occurrence. From approx. the 2nd-6th things can get really fired up in your career sector, creating havoc for yourself and your sensitive partner. Don’t go ‘over board’ at home. Take this time to reflect on past desires. The 6th-12th brings renewed ambition coupled with idealism.
This is an awesome month for meditation, especially the17th-25th when the career/public self clashes with the home/private self. The 18th-22nd can be especially frustrating.
Expect easy communication and compromise where personal finances are concerned. When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping, right?!
ARIES
The focus this month is on your job/daily routine and your health. Both are very touchy this month (including your mental health). Bite your tongue Aries. The 2nd-6th is ripe for romance but also arguments with coworkers, neighbors and family. Communication with partners is great but don’t argue with inlaws the 18th-25th. Drive defensively and watch the road rage!
The 6th-12th heats up a friendship. The 17th-25th highlights children and creativity but also the possibility of unrequited love.
TAURUS
Romance and friendship are super charged this month! Arguments with friends and/or lovers over money can occur, especially the 2nd-6th and the 18th-25th ~Home is where the heart is. You’ll also find refuge at work where all forms of communication are highlighted. Ambition is high the 6th-12th. The 17th-25th finds you torn between family and career.

Astrology is the observation of the planets & the affect of their respective characteristics, to us, here on Earth. Most skeptics would agree that the moon affects us here on Earth-i.e.: women’s cycles, planting cycles, and ofcourse, the oceans tides. Police will tell you that things are generally more hectic when there’s a full moon. Astrologers take it one step further & believe each planet (with the Sun & Moon included as planets) has it’s own distinct energies that affect us as individuals. We do not study the energy of our planet, Earth. Rather we observe the 10 other planets, as they appear to rotate around us in what is referred to as the Zodiac belt. The Zodiac is equally divided by 12 signs, Aries through Pisces.
Natal describes the exact position where each planet was at the exact minute you were born. Based on the date you were born, these are where the planets were ‘locked’ into a particular sign at your birth. The place and time of your birth will give you the exact degree of your planets, especially the moon, and set up the houses that become your birth chart. The sign on the first house cusp becomes your Ascendant or Rising Sign. Whatever degree is on your Ascendant, sets forth the configuration of your chart. Remember there are many different house systems. The most common in the US are Placidus and Koch. Different systems produce different charts, but the degree on the Ascendant/Descendant should always be the same. Not all houses are equal and will vary in the number of degrees. You may see a whole sign of 30 degrees sandwiched inbetween 2 others all in one house. This is called an intercepted sign. The one exception is the equal house cusp system which is what I use for Solar Charts ~ no birth time.
To look at a chart is the same as to read a story. First you must learn how to read!
Planets are the key ‘alphabet’ and are the back bone for everything you’ll ever learn in Astrology. They describe the qualities supplied in the chart — the ‘what’ that is going on. Therefore, you must understand them completely.
Signs are like creating words, as they describe ‘how’ the planetary energies get used based on what sign a planet falls in.
Each sign is ruled by an individual planet that helps to define it’s character.
Houses describe ‘where’ the energies and qualities of both the planets & signs are taking place. They kind of tie things together, like sentences.
Each house corresponds to a planet & it’s sign..
When you can grasp the basic knowledge of all three - planets, signs & houses- and start putting them all together, then you have the basis for your story which is, ofcourse, your chart.
By understanding the individual characteristics of each planet, the sign it rules, and the house it corresponds to you can start to interpret your own horoscope. It should also help you to appreciate the influence of Astrology in your daily life and in the lives of your loved ones.

Monthly horoscopes are based on Sun sign astrology and the solar houses. If you know your Moon & Ascendant/Rising sign, you should read those forecasts too.
Peace and Prosperity,

LEO
Happy Birthday! Ruled by the Sun, Leos have a healthy ego and like to live large! You demand respect, but are also incredibly generous especially where children are concerned.
Expect a breath of fresh air next month as Saturn moves out of your sign into Virgo. The last 2 years have been quite challenging as karmic lessons have been thrust upon you. Leos aren’t crazy about change and like to control their own destinies. If you have fought the forces or chosen to ignore them, you may have experienced some real hardships. However, if you have risen to the Universes’ challenges, now you can reap it’s rewards! You may have lost weight, had a baby, or began a significant relationship. Enjoy what you have earned!
Another 2 year round of karmic influence starts in January. Leos will need to be careful of being their own worst enemy! Old issues resurface and problems will need to be dealt with.
Positively, it’s a very fortunate time for relationships - personal or professional. While you deal with the past, your partner will be manifesting their future. This should benefit your union especially if your partner has been coping with issues or illness as that influence still exists.
Singles could attract a ‘significant other’ but need to act in their own best interests. It’s time to ‘structure’ personal values.
Money could be tight these next 2 years, especially if you’ve been careless with your spending. It’s a great time to build wealth and take on a financial responsibility that has long term rewards . Joint finances are still unpredictable.
Arguments with friend(s) over money could result August 30/31st. Energy shifts from the 6th-8th, bring more aggression from friends. Also, love, pleasure & creativity kick into overdrive! A past love could figure prominently. Passion is intense the 14-18th, although the 12th-14th could be tough. The 17th is your best day all month!!! The 19th-22nd is challenging as a friend vs lover dynamic unfolds the 19th-25th. Fantasy out weighs reality the 23rd-29th . Communication is great August 4th-18th, then discussions turn towards finances. Children may be anxious to head back to school - to learn and to resume an active social life!
ARIES
This month focuses on romance, children and pleasure! Expect great communication Aug. 4th-18th. An old lover could reappear after the 7 th. Love gets tough the 12th-14th, then intense the 14th-18th. Highlight the 17th! The 19th-22nd could spell trouble while the 23rd-29th is pure fantasy!
Don’t anger neighbors with loud partying. They could threaten legal action the 19th-25th. Also, drive extra cautiously! You’re accident prone the 30/31st.
On the 19th your concentration shifts to work, fitness, and pets.
