Astrology Forecast for August 2015

Here is the Astrology Forecast for August: August is a month of shifting sands. They bring reminders of the past, wake-up calls from unfinished business and hints of what’s to come this fall. It’s a definite, palpable time of transition, taking us from the upheaval of the last few years to the situations and structures growing out of it.

Think of this as summer break between semesters in school. Enjoy the moments of fun and catching up with friends, and deal decisively with the prep and clean-up work that comes up. As the month progresses, the atmosphere will shift from fixed to flexible and hurry us along.

It may feel at times as if you are reliving multiple summers at once, what with the memories, artifacts and old friends floating across your radar. They’re answering the call of Venus’ retrograde in Leo (through September 6), which is summoning reminders of much that was important to you, once upon a time:  old flames, friends, and people who were a bit of both; talents and pastimes; jobs; even belongings, clothing and toys.

However the visitations come — in dreams, in memories, in old, old songs, in conversation or social media posts, in actual physical contact — welcome and explore them. Flirt, play and reacquaint yourself.  They contain lasting treasure: parts of yourself that have slipped out of time present.

As for anything else or more … the jury’s out till fall.  Some connections will heat and heat to the point of blazing, especially as Venus and Mars head for their hot date on September 1. This will be true not just of dormant links coming back for a redo, but also of current ones exploring new forms. (The heat goes on when Mars enters Leo on August 8; August 19-21 is ripe for breakouts.) Just remember that things are not entirely as they seem. Some hot and heavy linkups are going to turn serious but fast when the temperature begins to drop, outdoors and otherwise.
