Your horoscope for August 15 to 21, 2013

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      A new solar chapter starts as of Friday. It’s one of powering up your light and becoming more conscious of what it is that you are creating for yourself.

      On Friday, Venus advances into Libra. Through September 10, Venus draws more attention to the balancing act and to relationship matters. Venus’s ability to attract is especially potent when she tours one of her home signs. When you have what we want, your popularity or profitability increases.

      Venus in Libra seeks to harmonize, enhance, beautify, equalize, and cocreate, but it can also call attention to the one-sidedness of relating, to one being always on the give and the other always on the take. If that’s your reality, a breaking point is nigh. Through the end of August, Venus is on a liberation mission. Finances, money markets, and legal matters are animated by this Venus transit.

      Tuesday’s full moon in Aquarius occurs at 6:45 p.m. Building pressure as early as Saturday, an event, a communiqué, or a key person could serve as a trigger that changes everything. Watch for something to be exposed, to inspire, awaken, excite, or jump out at you suddenly. Aquarius is linked with personal freedom, justice, humanitarianism, and political, social, cultural, and weather trends. It’s also one of surprise, extremes, even shock.

      Jupiter/Uranus greatly increases the intensity and exceptional opportunity of this kick-ass full moon. By Wednesday, we’ll see a significant release or a sharp corner turned.

      Aries
      March 19 - April 19

      The end of summer may be near, but for you the heart journey enters a new spring season. Starting Friday, Venus in Libra sets social interactions, a key relationship, and your balancing act onto a fresh page. You’ll feel the full moon energy build over the weekend. Tuesday/Wednesday it’s big, perhaps unexpected. A talk, financial, or legal matter hits a spark or a fuse.

      Taurus
      April 19 - May 20

      So far, so good, but you can always do better. Venus in Libra brings an appropriate time for improvements, enhancements, and upgrades. Saturday, make it official. Tuesday’s sharp-turn full moon fast-tracks a new professional or home life chapter. Wager on a brighter future, aim for a radical departure from the past. It can be necessary to sever ties or cut communications.

      Gemini
      May 20 - June 20

      Venus in Libra, starting Friday, can help you to feel the love and adoration more. Your public profile, social life, and romantic options are enhanced. While Venus increases pleasure, enjoyment, and financial prospects, you are likely to spend, indulge, or splurge more. Monday through Wednesday, it’s fresh, new, different, and opportune. Rely on impulse and instincts. Someone could surprise you. Drive carefully.

      Cancer
      June 20 - July 22

      Venus in Libra, starting Friday, draws added attention to security, comfort zones, financial, and family needs. Perhaps you’ve felt it coming for a while or maybe next Tuesday’s full moon will spring it on you. A key person serves as a messenger or catalyst. Take the initiative or be forced to reinvent—your past is fast departing, your future is fast approaching.

      Leo
      July 22 - August 22

      The sun hits a fresh stride and so do you. You should find yourself on a good swing Thursday and Friday. Venus in Libra offers more social opportunity. Same-page accord is more readily found. Venus also enhances sales, commissions, and marketing ventures. Whether opportune or jarring, next week’s full moon dishes up the unexpected. Wednesday is opportune, lucrative, or relieving.

      Virgo
      August 22 - September 22

      Venus in Libra can enhance your earning potential. Spending may increase too, but it’s likely a matter of choice or purpose. Relationship bonds grow now, but don’t allow yourself to get stuck in the codependency trap. Monday to Wednesday, everything hits at once. Choose a fresh option, approach, job, project, or product. Work, health, or relationship matters can see sudden improvement.

      Libra
      September 22 - October 22

      Venus in Libra brings you stellar favouritism; aim to make the most of it. For the most part, you should like the added attention that comes your way. Tuesday’s full moon is sure to keep the excitement going strong. Watch for a surprise opportunity, announcement, invitation, or appearance. An intuitive flash or inspiration is well worth acting on.

      Scorpio
      October 22 - November 21

      Travel or vacation on your mind? Perhaps there’s a major event, prospect, or project in the works. You’ll see it shape up in some major way by mid next week. As of Friday, Venus in Libra enhances creativity and romance. It can make you kick back and relax more too, but watch for Tuesday’s full moon to switch the track, perhaps unexpectedly so.

      Sagittarius
      November 21 - December 21

      You are working your way through a huge transformation cycle that is radically changing everything you’ve felt, wanted, and expected for yourself. It’s also evolving how you create, relate, choose, and aspire. Next week delivers a breakthrough, break-free, introduce-it, or launch-it time. Watch for Tuesday’s full moon and Wednesday’s Jupiter/Uranus transit to fast-track your new adventure.

      Capricorn
      December 21 - January 20

      As Venus tours Libra, it’s even more important to look and feel the part. Outer presentation is as important as what’s on the inside. Saturday/Sunday take charge and keep things under control. Tuesday/Wednesday can dish up unexpected expense or opportunity. Something could surface that forces an abrupt decision or a necessary exchange.

      Aquarius
      January 20 - February 18

      In addition to pleasure, play, and a better social or creative swing, Venus in Libra helps you find more appealing options for yourself. Saturday through Monday could provide a full-moon preview. Even so, Tuesday/Wednesday thrusts you into the uncharted. Mercury, Jupiter, and Uranus could spark a surprise conversation, revelation, or introduction, a big risk or leap.

      Pisces
      February 18 - March 19

      Are you getting enough? Venus in Libra calls quality and quantity into question, especially regarding intimacy, partnership, and finances. Tuesday’s full moon can clue you in to something you haven’t paid enough attention to. Wednesday brings things fully into the open; don’t miss your opportunity. Follow instincts and synchronicity. Action-taking can prove exceptionally fruitful.
