Aquarius Horoscope for August 2009

By Susan Miller

This is your big month! The full moon lunar eclipse in Aquarius at 14 degrees will arrive on August 5. This looks to be a red-letter day for you. Because it is in your sign, it will affect you with double strength, and will have the power to change the way you see yourself and present yourself to others.

If you were born on February 3, plus or minus five days, this eclipse will be speaking your name. Keep in mind, however, that you may have other planets in your chart that will be touched, so just keep your antenna up.

You have been so busy growing, maturing, and evolving that you may have been hanging on to an outdated self-image and not giving yourself enough credit. If so, this eclipse will allow you to revise how you see yourself and also make at least one important announcement. Your lifestyle may change, or you may meet someone who will become very important to you. Eclipses also bring endings, so you may see a woman say goodbye too, and in that departure, you may feel the passage of time.

Years that hold an eclipse in our sign often are highly eventful, memorable years. You have been seeing eclipses in Aquarius and Leo since February 2008, arriving in pairs every six months. This month's eclipse is the last, and after this you can rest. Admittedly, eclipses in one's own sign can demand quite a bit of adjustment to a whole new reality.

The new series of eclipses are moving on to Cancer and Capricorn, involving areas of your chart that are and will be somewhat easier to experience. Last month those eclipses began, so you felt the first on July 7 and the second on July 21. There will be no more eclipses in Aquarius until 2017.

Not all eclipses deliver their news immediately, although many do. If you don't notice anything changing, don't assume you won't hear something later. You might because eclipses have an area of influence for up to a year. If you don't seen any shifts and especially if you were born near February 3, then you may one month to the day later, so note September 5, plus or minus five days - you may hear something then in regard to a very personal matter. Also, when Mars opposes the degrees of the eclipse, you may have news about a partner. That will happen three times, on November 18, 2009, and on January 18 and May 4, 2010.

Your ruler, Uranus, is still retrograde, and so is Jupiter in Aquarius, and when these two big planets will go forward, you'll notice that good things are suddenly happening near October 13 when Jupiter starts working harder for you, and again later, on and near December 1, when Uranus turns on the juice. As you see, you are moving into a very important and very upbeat phase.

For now, events from the outside will begin to come in and change your world in ways you could not have anticipated. That's what eclipses do, and that's why their news always seems so random and sudden. You are fortunate in that this eclipse is very friendly, especially to Mars, which is now circulating in your house of true love. Mars will be working hard to boost your social life, and if you're single, you're in luck, for this eclipse could bring an introduction. Because this is a full moon, you will be noticed and in the spotlight, so this could be a tender and quite exciting time for your love life.

Pregnancy and the protection and care of children also come under the fifth house, so you may be focused on one of your children, or possibly a surprise pregnancy. If you had put papers in for an adoption, but didn't have any idea about when you may get that big call that the stork has delivered your child, it could happen now. Eclipses truly do bring on big events that have the power to change our lives.

Your creativity will be very high at the time of this lunar eclipse, August 5, and you may get a freelance job that will use your talents well. You may be ready to show your work to the world at this eclipse, and if so, you certainly will be seen and buzzed about, and others will likely be lauding your work. If you are self-employed, you may now pick up an important new client or be told you have the support of someone highly influential. Whether you work for yourself or others, you may get some very important publicity - the kind you can't quite believe is happening!

One of your very best days will be August 12 and 13, when love and happiness will be yours. These days are yours to indulge yourself in any way you please.

On August 17, you'll have a way to show off your creativity in a big way - don't miss that opportunity!

Two difficult days are due after that, August 18 and 21, when first Mars will challenge your ruler, Uranus, and then Mercury will do the same to Uranus on Friday. These are due to be nerve-wracking days, when financial worries could interfere with your concentration on anything else in your life. Be prepared.

Partnership matters will begin to become quite dazzling on the new moon August 20, and if you were thinking of merging energies with another person, for love or business, you will get the green light to begin at this time. You may be thinking seriously about marriage or of making a serious promise to your partner. In business, you may take on a business partner, agent, or manager, or you may hire another type of professional. Doctors, lawyers, and accountants fall under the seventh house too, so if you need to work with an expert, you will find a way to do so enthusiastically at the new moon August 20.

This new moon will open an exciting opportunity because it will be so cordial to both Mars and Pluto. This shows that the collaboration or partnering might be to further creative ideas, and if so, it will be done very successfully.

At work, you'll begin to get very busy once Mars enters Cancer on August 25. Mars will stay in your work area (sixth house) until October 14. Assignments will fly, email will flow, and you'll be crazed. The end of August in northern hemispheres is often very quiet, for it is a popular time to take a vacation, but with a skeleton crew on deck, you'll be called on to carry the banner and get the work out, possibly for others. It does not appear that you will be able to travel until October, but that would be a great time to go.

Co-workers are likely to be out of sorts on August 26, and may even have a hidden agenda, due to the opposition of Pluto and Mars. This is a heavy-duty aspect that can cause quite a bit of tension. Office politics may again be festering, only this time you'll see through it all because it will be quite obvious. Perhaps it's because the office will be so busy so quickly that everyone is cranky, On the other hand, perhaps it may be because you are the favorite of the boss and no one will know how to get the upper hand and they are jealous. The reason doesn't matter. Just be aware that your workaday atmosphere may be a bit tense on this day. This would not the day to be critical of your assistant's work - lie low.

Romantically, as said earlier, this will be one of those rare months when love and fun will be really bright. Aside from the possibly sweet time around the eclipse August 5, there are other dates to watch.

If single, keep your eye on August 22, a day when Venus will be beautifully oriented toward your ruler, Uranus. This day will brim with surprises, and with the moon in sublimely compatible Libra, you should find this weekend one of your best of the month.

If you are seriously dating or married, you will benefit from all the energy swirling around the eclipse and August 22, too. You may also enjoy being part of a couple and feel real excitement about the world you are building for just the two of you.

Your most romantic dates - and you have so many of them - include: August 1, 4-6, 11, 13-15, 19, 22-23, 28, 29, and 31.

Before I go, I want you to know that next month won't be an easy one for anyone, of any sign. Mercury will be retrograde throughout the month, but on top of that we have a series of very difficult aspects involving Saturn, Uranus, the Sun, and new moon. Your finances will be a sore spot, so keep a close eye on those and try to avoid problems by reducing spending a little.

This month will be far more positive and productive, so try to finish up your most pressing business early in the month, and as you get to the last week, start shutting things down. Plan to resume talks in October. Your best time to sign papers will be August 12 or 13.

The hardest part of September will extend from September 15 to 23, and the hardest day of all will be September 17. Try not to schedule any important meetings or initiations for then. Next month will draw on your ability to be completely practical, objective, and unemotional, and certainly you are capable of meeting the challenge.

We study astrology so that we can be prepared - now you know the score and you will have the edge. Come back next month, and I will tell you more. And one parting word - the financial nightmares you might have faced in the past, and which may show a bit of a speed bump in September, are so close to being a thing of the past. We will talk more about that next month, but just know that you are so close to victory, dear Aquarius!

Summary

This could turn out to be a very big month for you, dear Aquarius. With a lunar eclipse due in your sign, you have the power to change your life dramatically for the better. You also have Jupiter, planet of gifts and luck, in Aquarius in 2009, and this is the first year in 12 years that this has happened. This alone automatically makes you the most favored sign of the zodiac. Jupiter will be at your side until mid-January 2010 and will give you an enormous advantage, especially in the later months, once Jupiter turns direct on October 13.

The eclipse, August 5, will add to that favor and bring your desires to fullness. It will also package all the good energy in the air and make it accessible to you. You should find that this month you can finally harness and direct it toward the areas you'd most like to improve.

If you were born within five days of February 3, you will feel the effects of the eclipse very strongly, but all Aquarius will find August to be a defining moment of the year. It is your month to turn an important corner. If you have been diligently trying to build a relationship or create more presence in your career, you may now be able to lead the brigade. All you must do is show the universe your intent. Do you have the courage? Of course you do!

Aquarius Dates to Note

A matter of enormous importance reaches culmination on August 5, plus or minus four days. It's all due to be very upbeat.

Financially, things may go unexpectedly haywire on August 18 - guard against loss. August 21 is another day to be watchful.

If you have been dating, or if you are married or living together, a new era in one relationship will take hold after the new moon, August 20.

The time near August 23-24 could bring a nice development in your career, due to the interactions between the Sun and Pluto.

Romance should be exceptionally strong all month, thanks to the tour of Mars through your house of love - if single, circulate! One of your most romantic days, and most flattering, will be August 13.

Your most romantic dates: August 1, 4-6, 11, 13-15, 19, 22-23, 28, 29, and 31.
