Aries August 2022

With more honest and intimate sharing from the heart, an inner conflict ends. It has been quite a battle. You’ve been working so hard. At times it’s as if you’ve been treading water, the waves hard against your thighs.

What is an Aries without desire? An empty shell. Running on empty.

Begin now, dear Aries, to let your wishes and desires ignite again – into a slow burning flame. That full Moon in your eleventh house Thursday, August 11 brings your coronation!

August is a slow, take-it-easy kind of month, to enjoy the fruits of your labors. This includes literal fruit as well, as in nature. As in trees, flowers, fruits and vegetables. I see you spending some of the happiest days of your life outside this month. If you don’t have a garden, go outside, anywhere you can, just to experience the beauty of nature.

In a nutshell, your environment had become musty, and the windows now open. You’re leaving the stale overused air you’ve been breathing and regurgitating for fresh breezes.

For you have, in your fifth house of pleasure and conception: Life-saving Sun, brilliant Mercury, self-nurturing Ceres, a friendly new Leo Moon July 28 and on the same day, July 28, planet of love and beauty Venus enters here also, spreading her blessings into your passions like beautiful flower petals.

Ooh-la-la!

Take your pick. One of these energies from your fifth house will be going hog-wild:

Creativity
Conceiving and brainstorming new projects
Falling in love
Your children and having Children
Your lusty desires and joyful sexual self
Parties and theater
Fun and playing and dressing up
Taking a leap of faith

FOR BEST RESULTS IN WORK: Push your Virgo side (you’ve got it): Devoted, detailed, helpful, conscientious. Rather than looking at the big picture – the forest – and ignoring the branches on the trees, examine the branches! Each and every leaf is worth its weight in gold, and I’m not kidding. You get richer by zooming in on the nitpicky.

And about people, remember your wise sister Aries writer Maya Angelou: When people show you who they are, believe them.

Don’t let anything like Chiron retrograde (wounded self) in your sign and first body house chip away at your confidence. You’re in a more solid position than you think.

There is nothing more exciting than an inspired Aries – we want to see you inspired.

All that your fifth house rules:

Conception: a launch, a start-up, a baby, artistic masterpiece, business plan, brilliant idea

Your creativity and giving birth to new projects

Your child or children

Your inner child

Falling in love

Making love

Love affairs

Your desires and sexual self

Artistic performance

Playing and entertaining and dressing up

Parties

Speculating and gambling

You know what, Aries? You are going to make your life FABULOUS. How? By flowing with it, by not fighting the tide, by entering that retrograde swimming motion as if your life depended on it. It does.

So, give yourself permission to slow down, relax…even party. You don’t need to be all things to everyone. No one will get lost without you.

Go ahead and feed your soul a bit more, please. Because you do need to be all things for yourself.

I will explain.

Wise old Saturn, your toughest lesson, is retrograde in Aquarius, your eleventh house of professional allies. No use blaming others here. Saturn wants you to take the responsibility yourself. Saturn always has the last word, don’t even try.

So, here, in these areas all involving your dealings with others you must be truthful, clean, meticulous. No short cuts. Saturn, Father TIME, hates short cuts. Give it TIME. Do it properly. Do it right.

The most positive part of this is that you name to yourself the people with whom you feel most comfortable. Those you can really relax with and be yourself with. Your true self. (Putting on a show, or trying to keep up with the Whomevers, is so deeply exhausting, isn’t it?) That’s true freedom. And it’s priceless. Can’t be bought.

Okay, what else?

Old love, old memories, old re-call, re-mind, yes, it’s all the RE words (as in REtrograde), but to do with the subject of love.

Also old co-creators, old partners in crime, fun people from your past. And it’s a little bit about how you used to look, as well.

Just remember to curb the spending, and you’ll do great. Those who are still having conversations with da money people and such, you may want to ask yourself: Why is it I really don’t want to grow up yet? It most often has to do with a father figure in your life.

Maturity is hard to obtain, mostly because it can’t be taught. You have to learn it yourself. As the great philosopher Kierkegaard says, “Life is a hard teacher. She gives the test first, the lesson after.” You have had enough changes and challenges recently to pass your test with a flying A+.

Now, let’s get back to the fun stuff.

Your social eleventh house rules:

Friends and colleagues

Your social circles

Professional community

Your ideals and hopes

Visualizing your future

Making the world a better place

Being part of / joining a group

Advice from others

Discerning the truth

Acting from your ethics

AND THEN. New Lion Moon in your fifth love house on Thursday, July 28. This Friday and weekend, a miracle idea comes to you, or a new lover, a new joy.

Insecurity stops plaguing your subconscious and fears of being old and alone. An exhaustive time around the house and home ceases, and the end of August launches you into a whole new energy level.

Love becomes you. Passion is your middle name.

Client reviews here.

In the mute August afternoon
They trembled to some undertune
Of music in the silver air;
Great pleasure was it to be there
Till green turned duskier and the moon
Coloured the corn-sheaves like gold hair. – August by Algernon Charles Swinburne.
