An August Month of Unexpected Enlightenment

An August Month of Unexpected EnlightenmentHenry Seltzer – The August month begins with a Full Moon in Aquarius that signals the second half of the lunation cycle that began with the Cancer New Moon from July 17, having taken place at about 25 degrees of the sign, and therefore opposite Pluto in late Capricorn and precisely square to Eris in Aries.

This was a very dynamic mid-July New Moon configuration that speaks to the transformational power of this rather intense cycle, continuing into the present month of August, when Venus is also retrograde in Leo.

In this mid-July timing his transformational energies are thus still running high, and we are challenged to accept our fate in terms of structures and habit patterns to which we have long grown accustomed being in need of renovations, perhaps radical ones.
