August 2008

This is certainly your month for experiencing Eclipses from every possible angle! Take the 1st, for example: A New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Leo starts the month off on an aggressive, slightly frustrated note. You recognize that if anything is going to be accomplished, it's your responsibility to make it happen. As you look around the room, you see a group of colleagues or friends that seem almost devoid of passion and determination. Your leadership skills are extremely essential. Without them, a number of key tasks and important conversations are unlikely to happen. So - yes: You are one of the most valuable people in your group, at home, work or on the playing field. What puzzles you is how confused and misinformed others are. First, they misunderstand your intentions, and then they reconstitute a false version of the truth and keep spreading it. Be strong, and brace yourself for blistering criticism that is reminiscent of the 'swiftboat' campaign during the 2004 US Presidential election. You need to stop the hemorrhaging of wrong information without losing touch of your ideals, purpose and ethics. It's a tall, demanding order, but you're extremely well equipped to handle it. You might have to push back hard at a dim bulb on the 6th. Wipe the floor up with 'em. Let others know who's a leader and who's not. A Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse occurs on the 16th, strongly suggesting that you may need more money and experts onboard. Everything here suggests that you'll get what you need. Money is likely to increase from the 22nd onward, possibly in substantial amounts. Another verbal fistfight is likely on the 27th. Don't allow anyone to undermine your character, value or message. Even while slamming an opponent's criticism, continue to drive home your core beliefs and message. That's what others need right now - and you have a gift for inspiring hope, like no one else. Besides a flash of personal jealousy or a compromising personal issue on the 29th, the end of the month is perfect for you and starts the beginning of another blazing success story. Monthly touchstone: Ruby.
