Libra Horoscope for August 2014

This is another powerful month, Libra, and an excellent time to be dwelling upon your vision for the future. What you wish for now is very likely to come true, as long as you are in good alignment with your highest purpose. You possess an extraordinary amount of optimism, and you do well to temper feelings of unbridled positivity with an extra-strong dose of caution. When you do not take the downside more fully into account, along with your purely idealized view, circumstances are likely to arise to remind you. You are beginning to better incorporate an active partnership dynamic into your own ongoing changes, allowing for greater movement. Providing that you can stay committed to a more integrated future for yourself, with your feet firmly on the path, you have access to this more soulful form of success.

As the month begins, you are still feeling the heat represented by the very intense Leo New Moon from the last weekend of the previous month. This took place in your sector of friendship and societal connection. Since the Sun and Moon were at that time conjunct expansive Jupiter, and because the New Moon took place in the solar sector also corresponding to wishes, hopes and future plans, you have been in an expansive and perhaps even reckless mode, well aware of where you want to go with your next evolutionary stage, and how you might manage to get yourself there. This month represents a special time for you indeed, when you are seeing your way clear to new vision for where your life might be taking you over the next few years.

This hugely optimistic stance is however offset by the factor of prominent Saturn, also aspected by this New Moon, and inconjunct aspect to trickster Uranus. The implication, especially during the first week of August, is that there is a strong possibility of unforeseen obstacles and restrictions that could arise to hinder your progress. You have, on the whole, an excellent opportunity over the first ten days of the month to seize the moment and to vision future possibilities for yourself that will turn out to be viable.

You have lived through many changes in recent months, and are only now just beginning to catch your breath, and now along comes yet one more interesting and intense monthly cycle to deal with. As you are visioning new worlds into being, and running up against the limitations of a more practical approach that allows you to begin fleshing out the details in working out your pathway forward, you are also dealing with issues of self and other. Mars, ruler of your relationship sector, is also powerfully aspected by the New Moon that began the month, indicating that your way forward is somehow directly intertwined these days with your connection to significant partners in your life. Unexpected blessings are likely to come your way in the arena of relationship, as represented by a highlighted Uranus in your seventh or partnership sector. This is offset by a very determined urge to find your own way forward, in your own terms.

There is also to be considered the elevated presence of Venus, your ruler, in the career sector of your solar chart. This is another powerful factor for you now, signifying that matters are coming to a head regarding career initiatives that you have perhaps long been planning, and that there is a transformational aspect to this month as a pivotal point in which to see the direction of necessary change for yourself in this area and decide to go for it. Your intuition is strong, so that if you pay the closest possible attention to what your insides are revealing, you will come to the right decision for yourself, going forward.
