Aries (March 20 – April 19)
It’s important that you listen to the guidance of your Higher Mind this month, Aries. Your morning meditations are now fueled by radical Uranus interacting with the Sun and Venus in fiery Leo. Vesta, the asteroid goddess of focus is also in your sign now.

With Uranus positively engaged, you have an opportunity to break new ground, but it’s critical that you connect with your own guidance. Others may think that they know what is best, but something is missing from their overview of your situation. Stand firm in your truth, and you’re golden.

The Leo new moon of August 14th lights up your 5th house of joy and creativity. Let your creative spirit take flight, Aries.

The Pisces full moon of August 29th seals the deal in your 12th house of endings. This full moon joins Neptune, the planet of longing. Cut your losses on an impossible situation; then you can fully relish the fancies of your new moon joy.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
There’s magic in the air, and it’s possible that you’ll be offered a new home or office this month, Taurus. Yours is not the easiest sign to move, but know that you can believe what you’re told now. Patience is one of your strengths, and your consistency over the past year will now pay off.

It’s a great month, but with so many planets in Leo, a sign that is somewhat challenging to yours, you’ll have to stand your ground and stay focused. You’ll have many opportunities, most of them good, but don’t sign contracts around the 12th when Mercury and Neptune blend the line between reality and fantasy.

The Leo new moon of August 14th invites grace and royalty into your 4th house. The 4th house is the place where spirit interacts with your body, and where your body lives in a home. Whether or not you wish to move, allow this new moon to inspire you to be fully present and to embrace your physicality.

The Pisces full moon of August 29th fulfills your 11th house of community and long term goals. August presents you with a second chance. Consider your options, and choose carefully.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
It’s time to get your needs met, Gemini. Actions speak louder than words. Mercury, your ruling planet is both busy and happy this month, so take advantage of the ‘good vibes’ and take a risk. You may be surprised at the results because you’ll learn that you have more money than you thought you did, and that others care more deeply than you had ever imagined.

Feel into your heart as the karmic north node joins Mercury on the 29th. Motion is your nature, but emotion can be your ally if you’re willing to learn about it.

The Leo new moon of August 14th stimulates your 3rd house of communication. With your 3rd house in play, you’ll be busier than ever, but it feels good. Talk about what’s on your mind, Gemini; this new moon is good for clearing the air.

The Pisces full moon of August 29th invites negotiation in your 10th house of career and public image. This moon joins Neptune, the planet of slow change. Neptune works by wearing a situation down until there is nothing left. Be sure that you save some part of yourself in this impasse.

Cancer (June 21 – July 21)
You’re coming into a season of harvest, Cancer. Delays and frustrations should melt away as Venus and Jupiter again join forces in your financial sector. Focus on bringing money in and avoid large outlays of cash if possible. Critical thinking is what helps you the most.

Put your thinking cap on and don’t hesitate to ask for a second opinion on any big decisions. August is your month for brilliant ideas, also. Think large, dream big, and put your plan into action.

The Leo new moon of August 14th presents new options for your 2nd house of money, earned income, and self-worth. This is an excellent situation, Cancer. You’re never one to shy away from new possibilities. Trust your instincts on this one.

The Pisces full moon of August 29th transforms your 9th house. This is the palace of your most dearly held beliefs. Something has to give; what you thought you knew is being replaced by what you need to know now.

Leo (July 22 – August 22)
August is a spectacular month for you Leo! Venus, the planet of love and finery has returned for a second visit through your sign, and she’s digging in deeply to give you her gifts. You’re surrounded by glitter and dazzle, but don’t be taken off course on your financial goals. Jupiter leaves Leo and enters Virgo on August 11th, shifting the focus from all fun, to thinking about money.

There is a secret to management of Jupiter in your financial sector; don’t over spend. Saturn is also whispering the same message about finances. Let the adoring minions take a turn, Leo. They are delighted to be in your presence, and you deserve every good thing that comes your way.

The Leo new moon of August 14th enhances your 1st house of appearance and physicality. The Sun, Moon, and Venus all in Leo are delivering you a stellar lineup. This is your magic lantern aspect, Leo – make a wish and see it come true.
The Pisces full moon of August 29th intensifies your 8th house of mystery and intrigue. Some of you will find romance; others money. If you find love at this time, know that it’s true love, but will require commitment and surrender.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
August is all systems go, Virgo. Don’t get hung up if and when things go a bit off course. With so many planets retrograde things are bound to be a bit unusual; just take it in stride and keep on moving ahead because that’s where the juicy action is. Celebrate this month in the spirit of summer fun and joy.

You’re being exquisitely lifted up now in a way that is rare and beautiful. Your ruling planet Mercury is in Virgo from August 7th through the 27th, further enhancing your clarity and ability to make good decisions. Let this month be a perfect moment in time; one to remember.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)
There is great clarity available to you now, Libra. Your logical mind is active and your intuition is razor sharp. The problem is Saturn, standing strong in your 2nd house of money.

Saturn may feel like a ball and chain, but he also functions as the corner stone of your power pyramid. Focus on expanding your sphere of influence through meeting people. Remember: every person you meet is a golden link in the chain of your prosperity.

The Leo new moon of August 14th stimulates your 11th house of community and connection. There are whisperings of your future to be heard in the silent breeze of your present. Take a close look and test the wind.

The Pisces full moon of August 29th brings harmony to your 6th house of mastery. As a cardinal, or action starting sign, you’re not one to hold back. However, the message for this full moon is to ‘let go and let God’. Allow for the divine master to be your guide. Wisdom is your ally, and your path is one of peace.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
August is a unique month for your Scorpio. Because the Sun is in Leo, a sign that squares or challenges yours, this is a month that brings both your hopes and fears into focus. And now, in 2015, you have a moment in time unlike any other; a new month, a new day to open the door to your creativity and self-expression.

Think of this as a sport, or learning the skills needed to play a new game. Other people see you in a new way, but what’s more important is how you see yourself. There is an invitation for a Quickening, a chance to step up and create a new way of being.

The Leo new moon of August 14th sweetens your 10th house of career and your social foundation. With Venus, Mars, the Sun and Moon all joined in Leo, trust that it’s all good, Scorpio. You have to give a little; you’re being invited to step into your best version of yourself. Do it!

The Pisces full moon of August 29th satisfies the longings of your 5th house of joy and creativity. You can get two birds with one stone here, Scorpio. If you have children, take time to connect and share the love. Tune into your deepest heart’s desire and take a step towards fulfilling it.

Sagittarius (November 22– December 20)
Your sign is noted for bravado over vulnerability, but surrendering to your soft side just might get you want you want, and it’s a good option. Do not underestimate your partner, though. It’s time to lay your cards on the table, and create a completely positive outcome. New options are possible now, Sag but timing is the key. Early on and late in the month are the best times to take action.

The Leo new moon of August 14th breathes fresh life into your 9th house of travel. It’s time, Sag; time to seek and find, to refresh and explore. You can get paid doing what you truly love. Stake your claim in this season of revitalization.

The Pisces full moon of August 29th freshens your 4th house, the place of home and hearth. New options are available to you now, Sagittarius. The window of opportunity is opened through honesty and negotiation.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)
Sometimes the action is more intriguing if you watch from a distance. But, how do you play in the mud without getting your hands dirty? And please, NO curve balls! Your sense of responsibility usually gets you ahead, but now it’s time to handle things a bit differently.

It’s time to learn to dance with energy, Capricorn. You can be soft yet powerful at the same time. You’re both student and teacher now; a master with beginners’ mind.

The Leo new moon of August 14th plants seeds of prosperity in your 8th house of shared resources and investments.

The 8th house is also about power; how you manage your time and money, and how you deal with people. You must be a power broker, Capricorn; sometimes you have to give a little in order to gain a lot. The deal coming your way now is going to be worth the compromise.

The Pisces full moon of August 29th brings completion to your 3rd house of communication. Is there something you’ve been thinking about for a long time, Capricorn? The thinking phase is over now; take everything you’ve learned in the past and apply it to your present situation.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17/18)
If you’re feeling a bit out of touch and thinking about money, you can thank your stars, Aquarius. Pluto is lurking in your 12th house, reading your mind and anticipating your every move. Neptune invites you to use every dime, and your lover helps spend the rest.

Here’s my Aquarius survival tip: have complete faith in the future. You’re at the tipping point and your gains will come through both personal and professional partnerships.

The Leo new moon of August 14th sets a new tone for your 7th house of relationships. Your partners should be happy and at ease now. You may have to feed their ego a bit, but this goes with the territory of so much Leo energy. Enjoy the overflow, Aquarius – it’s good for you, too.

The Pisces full moon of August 29th shines a light of realization in your 2nd house of earned income. This full moon joins Neptune which has both good and bad ramifications. On the negative side, when associated with finance, Neptune often reveals a way in which you’ve been overspending or losing money. However, the other side of this coin is that Neptune also harbors wealth. Like the riches of the sea, Neptune holds a vast fortune, but you must have a system in place to harvest and/or hold on to it.

Pisces (February 18/19– March 18/19)
This month comes with a calling to focus on your finances, Pisces. If you feel all alone and uncertain of the future, take heart in knowing that nobody else does exactly what you do. Your expertise is enhanced now and it’s your mastery of your trade that makes you magnificent. Plus, this is a great time to get paid as a teacher.

You’re highly in demand, both for your skill and the way you share what you know. You’ve moved into a reward cycle, Pisces. Pay extra attention on August 12th when Mercury, the planet of communication opposes your ruling planet, Neptune. This can be a time when what you thought was said is quite different from what the other person intended.

The Leo new moon of August 14th presents new options to your 6th house of mastery. Consider hiring someone new to help with day to day activities; this frees you up to refine your message.

The Pisces full moon of August 29th illuminates your 1st house. This is where you naturally shine, anyway Pisces. August is a month of satisfaction and joy; take all of the good times in stride and surrender to more that is coming our way.
