The Writer’s Astrological Almanac

August 22nd – 31st 2015

(all times PDT)

Sat Aug 22 the Moon is conjunct Saturn in Scorpio. Don’t let this bother you. Just deal with that one thing (or person) and don’t put it off. It’s also the last day of the year that the Sun gets to spend in its home sign of Leo. Tomorrow the world may seem cool, calmer, and less loud.

Sun Aug 23 at 3:37 am the Sun changes signs and enters the sign of Virgo. Now is the time for precision work, editing, getting the details right. Mercury is in the final degrees of Virgo, too. Don’t waste this! You could rewrite or edit the whole darn book now (although, that could be a bit manic). Also, if you’re into gardening or pet rescue, this may be your busy month. Remember, some physical exercise is good for those of us who sit too much.

Tue Aug 25 the Moon is conjunct Pluto in Capricorn. You can be serious without getting belligerent about it. Everyone has their own issues and causes, after all.

Wed Aug 26 the Moon is in Capricorn all day. Work like you mean it, because you do. At 3:02 pm the Sun is conjunct Jupiter in Virgo. It’s one of the luckiest days of the year, which bodes well on what work you do now.

Thu Aug 27 the Moon is in Capricorn when Mercury changes signs, leaves its home Virgo and enters the Venus-ruled sign of Libra. People may try to take up more of your time. You can judge what and how much of this is constructive (and some of it may be).

Sat Aug 29 we have the Full Moon at 06 Pis. At 3:20 pm the Moon is conjunct Neptune in Pisces. Are you addressing an audience that could be a lot bigger? You may be able to relate well with more people than you realize.

Mon Aug 31 the Moon is in Aries when the Sun opposes Neptune at 8:38 pm. You could free yourself of some false impression or illusion that has been holding you back. At 10:04 pm there is the Venus-Mars conjunction in Leo. Hot times! No matter how cool the appearance, passion will behind it all.

This August is an intense but productive time and you can create and then perfect a lot more than you’d believe. Jump into the deep end of the pool and be ambitious every stroke of the way. Take maximum, glorious pride in what you do. Have confidence that your work shines all on its own. Don’t fritter away a single day! Heads Up
