Capricorn in August 2008

capricorn in august


Even considering this month’s set of eclipses (read more about them here) your month doesn’t look half-bad, Cappy.

Remember July’s horoscope? Whatever issues came up last month—those centered around your religious, philosophical, or legal activities—should continue progressing to your benefit in August. These issues will still be a focal point for another year or so, but, for a few weeks at least, you’ll have better luck when dealing with them.

In fact, you’ll have good support in general for much of August. All of the fast-moving planets move into or through your complementary fellow earth sign Virgo. Sure, they’ll all take turns opposing Uranus in Pisces, but even the surprise twists that arise will be less stressful for you than they'll be for others.

You’re more at home with Saturn in Virgo just by dint of being a Capricorn, and Uranus in Pisces is sextile your sign, even if he is facing off with your chart ruler. Even when the two don’t play nicely, they’ll direct most of their real animosity elsewhere.
You still have the protection of Jupiter in your sign, too, which is no small thing.

I have a totally random question: are you teaching anything to others right now, or possibly learning something from another? Saturn in Virgo in your solar 9th could easily translate into a mentorship situation; if that’s the case, August will be a big month for both of you. There could be bickering, but it should be productive bickering—“solution-based bitching,” as one friend puts it.

But back to the eclipses...

Sex, joint resources, loans, money, property, taxes, insurance, etc.—all these are potential targets for these supercharged New and Full Moons. The first is a solar eclipse (August 1) and the second is a lunar (August 16) and both of them bisect your chart along the I’ve Got Mine/Let’s Share Yours axis.

If you’ve been in need of a fresh start in any of these departments, the eclipses may force your hand in a subtle, persuasive way. The lunar eclipse in particular may point out a few old, self-defeating patterns in the way you view your possessions.

Take it easy in August, Cappy, as often as you’re able. By the time September is over, you’ll be back in the middle of the "Pluto-this" and the "Saturn-that" fray. Take some time out now for review and reflection—you’ll be glad you did.


Good Things: Your personal luck quotient is way up, and will stay up all month. If there was ever a time to buy a lottery ticket every weekend, just for the heck of it, it’s August. Jupiter... Capricorn...trine pretty much everything at one point or another...it’s a great thing, actually.

Sex Life: Have you sensed any big changes approaching in your sex life as a direct result of your changing personal outlook? August has a few surprises in store—but you won’t be really shocked, I suspect. Part of you knows these changes have been in the works for some time now.
