Get A Jump On Tomorrow….

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, August 5th

by Rick Levine

 

General Horoscope

Moderating our feelings sounds like a good idea while the moody Moon is camped out in virtuous Virgo. Additionally, romantic Venus narrows her range of desires as she enters discerning Virgo. We may think that everything is under control, but passions intensify throughout the day as the planet of love engages with ruthless Pluto later this evening. However, a late night Moon-Jupiter conjunction encourages us to suppress our emotions with logic.

Aries Horoscope MAR 21 – APR 19

Office politics can impede your progress today. Although you are prepared to do whatever it takes to fulfill your professional obligations, it’s still a struggle to overcome the resistance of your coworkers. It might seem as if an authority figure is working against you now, but it’s your choice as to whether or not to buy into anyone else’s negativity. Sweet success is your best revenge.

Taurus Horoscope APR 20 – MAY 20

You have a green thumb and make beauty bloom on many forms. Beautiful Venus enters earthy Virgo and your 5th House of Self-Expression today, helping you create a garden of joy. You give off the air of being able to manifest flowers in the desert and bring happiness to those you love. However, Venus also forms a tricky aspect to resourceful Pluto, requiring you to transform awkward moments into pleasant ones. Connections with others are difficult only if you try to control your feelings. Let emotions flow and then let them go.

Gemini Horoscope MAY 21 – JUN 20

You are living life boldly these days yet anticipate a change as you step back from the hectic pace. Nevertheless, your creativity is enhanced as artistic Venus dances into your 4th House of Roots today. But her difficult aspect with unforgiving Pluto can impede your self-expression until you deal with unfinished business on the home front. Blood makes you related; loyalty makes you family.

Cancer Horoscope JUN 21 – JUL 22

While it’s challenging to see a situation from someone else’s point of view, it’s crucial to do so if you want the relationship to grow. Processing your emotions will bring you the confidence to express your own opinions more effectively while still remaining open to those of others. You’re appreciated for your willingness to discuss complex issues now that friendly Venus is visiting refined Virgo in your 3rd House of Communication. You can’t judge people’s choices without understanding their reasons. Treat others with the same respect you wish to receive.

Leo Horoscope JUL 23 – AUG 22

You may desperately try to maintain a practical perspective on your finances today, but difficulties arise from your tendency to indulge your extravagant tastes. Even if you intend to limit your desires to those things that are the most valuable, your practical perspective might not last. Although loving Venus enters efficient Virgo in your 2nd House of Self-Worth, her stressful aspect to passionate Pluto has you chasing rainbows instead of real satisfaction. Balancing your open heart with common sense helps you avoid unnecessary disappointment.

Virgo Horoscope AUG 23 – SEP 22

You are facing important decisions now, especially in financial matters. If you’ve been wavering, this is the right time to tune into your gut feelings and take decisive action. It helps if your choices are rooted in self-confidence, which, thankfully, receives a boost when attractive Venus enters your sign today. Your charming personality and sense of style turns heads in your direction during this alluring transit. But don’t expect an easy victory since ruthless Pluto is testing your resolve. It has been said that if the road is straight and smooth, you’re likely going the wrong way.

Libra Horoscope SEP 23 – OCT 22

Set aside your pursuit of passing pleasures today so you can be clear about which desires matter the most. You are in a serious frame of mind and want to narrow your options as sensual Venus enters discriminating Virgo. It makes sense to simplify your relationships and eliminate distractions in preparation for the changes ahead. Given a choice, forgo immediate gratification in the name of long-term emotional balance.

Scorpio Horoscope OCT 23 – NOV 21

You are eager to solidify a relationship now, but might not know how to reach your goal. However, old issues come to the surface and show you where you might have made mistakes. But go easy on the self-criticism, since the point is to improve your capacity for love and pleasure, rather than dishing out punishment. Although you might feel jealousy or resentment, motivate yourself to take positive action rather than dwelling upon the past.

Sagittarius Horoscope NOV 22 – DEC 21

You’re more concerned with your career path than anything else now. Diplomatic Venus camps out in your 10th House of Career through the end of the month, enhancing your reputation and attracting lucrative opportunities. Nevertheless, your familiar struggle between freedom and responsibility may come back to haunt you. Nevertheless, find ways to meet your obligations while still allocating enough free time for play. As Albert Einstein said, “Creativity is contagious; pass it on.”

Capricorn Horoscope DEC 22 – JAN 19

Communicating your intentions about the next phase of your life is essential today. Magnetic Venus attracts you to exotic people in faraway places when she joins the planetary pack in your 9th House of Travel. However, her presence in earthy Virgo keeps your feet on the ground. Your pragmatic approach to living provides a strong foundation for facing the rising tide of feelings that can wash reason away now. Follow your dreams but be sure to pack your integrity along for the ride.

Aquarius Horoscope JAN 20 – FEB 18

A never-ending string of little issues require your attention now, but it’s wise to save some of your time to think about your long-term goals. Caution is stressed as modest Venus steps into meticulous Virgo and your 8th House of Intimacy, but the presence of mental Mercury, the evocative Moon and bombastic Jupiter already have you focusing on the more complex emotional dynamics. Nevertheless, as Lao Tzu wrote, “He who knows others is wise. He who knows himself if enlightened.”

Pisces Horoscope FEB 19 – MAR 20

It may be time to repair a damaged partnership, but it’s nearly impossible to bring passion into a conversation without experiencing some loss of control. Fortunately, you’re more alluring now as captivating Venus visits your 7th House of Relationships. Being clear about what you want is a good idea that becomes more difficult in the days ahead. A magical connection can stir romantic feelings, but you’ll need to see where it goes over time to see if it’s real.

If Today is Your Birthday: August 4

happy-birthday-cake

If Today is Your Birthday: August 4

You are good at networking, considerate of others, and giving of yourself. You are very sensitive, and at times dramatic. You are at your best when you’re generous and productive. Those who don’t learn this may experience many ups and downs. While you feel things deeply, you also bounce back from setbacks, often with more power than you had previously. You can be charming and would do well in any position that involves promoting, selling, and connecting. Relationships tend to be long-term, responsible, and possibly traditional. While you are a progressive thinker, your family values are strong. Famous people born today: Percy Bysshe Shelley, Louis Armstrong, Barack Obama, Billy Bob Thornton, Abigail Spencer, Meghan Markle, Daniel Dae Kim.

Your Birthday Year Forecast:

Your birthday this year occurs shortly after a New Moon, suggesting a time of new beginnings and fresh energy. You are instinctively starting a new phase in your life. It’s time to give your life a makeover and to branch out into the untried.

This can be a year in which you experience important turning points, or you could begin new projects or goals that have a long-term impact on your life.

Transiting Saturn continues to transit in harmony with your Sun until October 2016. This suggests benefits from keeping your feet on the ground and paying attention to, and honoring, tradition as well as tried-and-true methods. Work you have done in the past begins to pay off now – not necessarily in dramatic ways, but in small, measurable ways. You may be recognized or rewarded in some way for the efforts you put forth. When you project a more responsible and credible “you”, people in authority are more inclined to appreciate you and recognize your work. This is a time in which you put your life in order in some significant manner. The key to success under this influence is adopting a realistic, practical, disciplined, and orderly approach to your life. Having a strong sense for both tradition and innovation opens doors for you. You have a real sense of tomorrow now, so it’s easier for you to take the necessary steps to make all of your “tomorrows” better.

Just when Saturn moves out of transit to your Sun, Jupiter moves into transiting harmony. From October 2016 forward, you benefit from a Jupiter transit. You have a stronger than usual desire to improve, grow, and learn. This is a fortunate aspect that helps boost optimism and confidence, and you are able to attract fortunate circumstances into your life as a result. Problems are easier to resolve. Matters related to universities, higher education, organized religion, publishing, legal affairs, and foreign interests can be especially strong. It’s a strong time to further your education. You are likely to enjoy a larger perspective on matters that keeps you from getting lost in details or overly frustrated by everyday stresses.

You are more emotionally invested in relating well with others this year, and you can be especially reasonable in your dealings. Negotiations are fair and clear. Even so, there can be some problems with communication blocks or delays with communications and transportation. Your thoughts are likely to be quite sober at times, and you should do your best to avoid negative thinking.

There can be some fireworks in key relationships this year. Feelings can sometimes run hot and cold in love. Your affections are strongly stimulated, and you are more acutely aware of your powers of attraction. You can enjoy an increase in personal magnetism, but timing can be off and you should be wary of competitiveness or tension in existing love relationships, as your passions run high, whether they‘re feelings of love or anger.

Marketing and promotional activities can thrive. Business revolving around the home, nutrition, cooking, and real estate may be particularly fruitful.

You may win respect and recognition for your work or craft this year. There is a good balance between learning from tradition and seeing things progressively. Timing is strong, and you tend to make firm, favorable decisions related to work or long-term projects.

A subject or even a person can be especially inspiring, prompting you to explore new perspectives. New or improved friendships are very likely. This can be a good year for dabbling in the arts, furthering a creative hobby or craft, and exploring new artistic interests.

Certainly, spontaneity is an essential ingredient in your personal relationships this year. You quite readily embrace all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary with regards to romantic involvements as well as financial undertakings. You have a taste for the offbeat this year, and there can be sudden or unexpected romance in your life. Renewing old ties in a new way is another strong possibility.

The year ahead is one of new beginnings. You are curious and seek out mental stimulation and new interests or experiences this year. This is a strong year for enjoying exciting ideas and for connecting with others with similar interests. New or enhanced social relationships are likely. However, you may be too quick to speak or act out at times during this period, and it would be wise to look for ways to reduce stress and slow yourself down. Friendships can improve with more communication. Old friendships might be renewed.

  2016 is a Number Three year for you. Ruled by Jupiter. This is a year of sociability. It is a friendly time, when it is easy to enjoy life and other people. Focus is on personal freedom, reaching out to others, making new friends, and exploration. You are more enthusiastic and ready for adventure. It is likely to be a rather lighthearted year, when opportunities for “play” time are greater than usual. It’s also a good year for expressing your creativity. Advice – reach out, but avoid scattering your energies.

2017 will be a Number Four year for you. Ruled by Uranus. This is a year of work and development. It’s “nose to the grindstone” time. It’s a time to deal with practical matters, and it’s not a time to be lazy or especially gregarious. Sometimes, it can be a year that feels hard, monotonous and routine, and/or lonely. Positive new relationships are generally not formed in a Four personal year. Advice – get yourself organized, work to build your resources, keep busy.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, August 4th

 

Aries

Aries Horoscope
Aries

While you may not know where to begin this morning, dear Aries, the day should evolve into a highly productive one. You can be focused on details that you may have overlooked in recent days. If you’ve come up with ideas or plans over the past few days, now you’ll be thinking about how to make them work in the real world. There is clever energy with you today, and you’re likely to come up with unique methods of doing work, managing health and well-being, and handling chores. It’s also a good time for sharing your ideas.

Taurus

Taurus

Fun energy is with you today, dear Taurus, although there may be some restlessness experienced in the morning that interferes. In your friendships and love relationships, spontaneity is a theme right now. There can be pleasant surprises and new developments on romantic or creative lines. A surprise attraction or meeting with someone from your past is also possible. Ideas for creative projects can be exciting now. You need some leeway and room for spontaneity today.

Gemini

Gemini

There is a genuine need for more comfort and familiarity in your life today, dear Gemini. You naturally seek out safe, secure, and easy activities now, perhaps as a result of being a little overstimulated recently. Even so, the demands of others in your life can make your pursuit of peace and quiet a bit difficult. While you’re in an important cycle for learning about your own desires and instincts, and for working out a sense of purpose, through your relationships with others, today you may be feeling a little overwhelmed by this and in need of some emotional space. Despite all of this, it’s a great “ideas” day, particularly as thinking relates to home and family life and long-term plans. There can be surprising revelations from family and/or friends.

Cancer

Cancer

You have stronger needs than usual to pursue your personal interests and to enjoy a variety of interesting tasks today, dear Cancer. However, responsibilities call out to you, and it can be difficult to juggle all that you need and all that you want to do. Exceeding your limits can be a learning experience today, but it may be better to define them first before acting. Avoid a pace that keeps you from enjoying the small things. As well, try not to get too absorbed in dissecting and analyzing things that take too much time away from those things that genuinely need your attention. Do make room for some frivolity. In fact, idle conversations can lead to exciting ideas.

Leo

Leo

This is a good day for coming up with innovative business or money-making ideas, dear Leo. Your unique point of view and your knowledge can be key to monetary success these days. Try to avoid the tendency to give your services away to your disadvantage now, however. Recent inattention to the practical side of your life can wear you down over time, and today, you may be able to bring a little more balance to this part of your life. Look also for ways and activities that nurture positive self-worth and self-perception. A lover or child may be vying for your attention today, but with some creativity, you can tend to your personal needs and wants as well.

Virgo

Virgo Symbol/Glyph
Virgo

Your intellectual capacities are heightened today, dear Virgo, and although you can be a little willful with your point of view now, you may very well be seeing things more clearly than others. Your thinking may be a little ahead of its time today, in fact. The desire to do your own thing and go your own way is stronger than usual, but challenges of family or responsibilities can make you feel a little confined at times. It can be difficult to be truly productive as a result, but you might consider this to be an “ideas” day – you are coming up with unique and innovative ideas and solutions right now.

Libra

Libra Astrology Glyph-Symbol
Libra

Today, there is some tendency to speak impulsively or to sign up for things that you may not be quite ready for on an emotional level, dear Libra. Watch for this mismatch of actions and feelings and consider ways to let your emotions catch up before going forward with a meaningful conversation or plan. There is a genuine need for rest and repose, and perhaps some anonymity as well. Avoid defensive self-righteousness today, if possible, and seek out more constancy. Also, try not to overdo things. Even if you’re enjoying certain projects and lines of thought, you may go a little too far with them and exhaust yourself in the process.

Scorpio

Scorpio Symbol Glyph
Scorpio

Group activities and associations may be avenues for fulfilling your goals this month, dear Scorpio, and today, you may be filling in some details of your plans. Great ideas can result through interactions with friends, associates, or networks. It’s a good day for boosting or establishing friendships, sharing ideas, and happy surprises or turnarounds in business. A health or work method that is especially unique or progressive can excite you now. It’s a good time to upgrade electronics or look for alternative ways of making your life a little easier and happier. Even so, you may be wrestling with concerns about money or ownership, perhaps feeling as if personal boundaries have been crossed.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius Glyph Symbol
Sagittarius

You may get the chance to put to use and even show off a talent today, dear Sagittarius. You need some freedom to explore and create in order to appreciate fully the work you’re doing now. The Moon at the top of your chart calls you to duty, while Mars and Saturn encourage a focus on personal interests and issues. This can result in a bit of an internal battle, or for some, perhaps a clash with a supervisor or parent. Otherwise, you are likely to find plenty of opportunities to creatively combine responsibilities and personal expression. You’re stamping whatever you do with your unique signature these days, and today is no exception, even if you’re paying a little more attention to rules.

Capricorn

Capricorn Symbol/Glyph
Capricorn

It’s a great day for learning new things and picking up valuable information, dear Capricorn. There can be plans made with family to travel or make fun changes. You may be pleasantly surprised by what people around you are communicating. Conversations can reach higher levels – even inspiring ones. You’re also in a strong position for learning, sharing, connecting, and discovering today. Even so, there can be moments of wrestling with yourself today, perhaps related to guilt or insecurity, and while your spirit for discovery is active, you may also need some time alone to sort out all of your feelings and experiences.

Aquarius

Aquarius

This is a potentially powerful idea day for you, dear Aquarius. Mercury’s transit of your solar eighth house is excellent for your observation skills, and Mercury forms a parallel with Uranus, your ruler, in your intelligent third house. You’re even more clever and original than usual, and others may thoroughly enjoy your insight today. Your persuasive abilities are strong. It can be easy to become completely absorbed in whatever you’re doing now, and research can bring up excellent results.

Pisces

Pisces

Today and tomorrow can be relationship-focused for you, dear Pisces. You tend to look to others for feedback and might crave company more than usual. Someone may be bringing a little more order into your life. Others help you to define your own thoughts and ideas right now. There can be times when your attention is divided today, and this might bother those close to you. It would be good to do some compartmentalizing, although it’s also a beautiful time for sharing problems and brainstorming. Great ideas can emerge, and they may even be breakthrough ones, generated from conversations with a partner or special friend. A refreshing communication can occur now.

August 2016 Ascension Energies

August 2016 Ascension Energies

August Energies

This is a fascinating time. On an energetic level, there is great change anchoring. On the physical or collective level, it can seem as if not much is changing for the better. But it is happening.

This year has been energetically intense. The path of self-empowerment toward authentic, loving interactions is a path of courage and determination. In one moment it feels like bliss, in another you’re being called to hold a healthy boundary. In one moment you feel oneness with all life, in another moment you may need a little alone time to regroup yourself. Balance is a wonderful thing.

We are in a polarity integration experience. Moving beyond duality means integrating opposites into new creation. It is the neutral neutron that integrates two opposites in the atomic structure. It creates the stability for Love’s natural pull of life.

Your own neutrality is important in these changing times. Neutrality isn’t a state of, “I don’t care, I relinquish all control to whatever.” It is an empowered and open state of, “I know my ability to adapt and enjoy life so well, that I follow the clues of what is calling for my action and what is not. All is well.”

This brings us to the energies of August.

Blank Slate

As I sat to read the energies, I got nothing. That went on for quite a few days. I don’t mind that, the information will surface when appropriate, though it is kind of unusual. The most I got about it was a, “Not yet,” one time. Finally, I was shown a blank slate. With this vision came such a powerful flow of Love and excitement that I immediately began to cry. In the Light Language video for the month, I noticed that the Light Language was much more intense than it generally is for the video, and I had the same experience of sweet tears once I came out of the channeling.

I was told that there has been a lot of internal movement within people recently that has changed the flow of the energies. WOW! I know it may not be obvious, but that is HUGE!

This is being played out in so many different ways in the world. To look at the surface of it, much of what is going on doesn’t seem like a wonderful thing. But people are being faced with such extreme examples of things that need to change, that they cannot continue to ignore it. In addition to the challenges, there is so much good going on in the world, within people, within communities, within you. Love is the natural pull of life.

Your Light Work

I still feel a resonance similar to last month, in that we are being called to consciously flow our energy into the world more. This is prayer work, this is Light work. Love compels that which is resonant, it doesn’t overpower the choice of another. It creates a path for information to anchor and choice to follow. You are becoming a conscious, coherent, being that embraces the unknown, finds a perspective of what Love’s potential can create, and Lights that path with your Love. It is work—the work of Love. So worth it.

What does a blank slate mean to you? What would you like to have a fresh start? What would you like to see start anew? In your own life, and for humanity? Flow your imagination into it and let your heart shine like a beacon to compel new solution. You don’t have to solve it. Just love it. Evolve it. Life will show you the way.

If you find yourself frustrated that nothing is changing, allow that frustration its moment to flow. This allows it (and you) to transform into a new desire, a new boundary, a new idea, a new patience, a new-trality. If no frustration occurs, yay! Honor the flow that occurs and go with it. It is gently leading you in a wonderful new direction.

I did this recently with the media machine. I knew I didn’t like the control and deception, but I hadn’t completely found my neutrality with it. I finally got totally clear on how it is creating the very thing that it wanted to control out of existence—empowered people choosing. I knew it was logically a potential, but I hadn’t fully accepted that in my heart. Now, my loving energy flow amplifies anything I come across that is media fear-mongering and lies, whereas before, some resentment/fear, etc. was creating resistance and inhibiting my Love flow. I don’t have to avoid it, I don’t have to immerse in it. I just allow my intuition to show the most appropriate flow for me.

Areon is very specific about this during their channelings. You never just watch the news, think a thought, or hear a story. Your vibration interacts with it, you receive it, you take the information in. We are a connected collective. It is important to hold your boundaries of what you can handle interacting with, what you feel drawn to, how you can stretch and strengthen, and especially—how you can shift what you are feeling to something that supports and nurtures you and life.

Neutrality allows the interaction to be stable and two opposites to meet and transform within you. That is your prayer work. Envisioning the challenges humanity is experiencing as creating people working together, growing, understanding, and choosing Love. Taking those steps in your own life to Love yourself, ease into life, and connect with life.

Summary

There is a sweetness, an excitement, and the energy of support that is palpable with August. Challenge free? Humanity isn’t there yet. But WOW! There are SO many hearts that are calling for more peace, more equality, more safety, more honesty…it is changing things!

In this month of a blank slate awaiting your attention, spend a little time each day imagining what you want to experience with a fresh start, a new story. You know there is a better way, you see it clearly in your heart. Take down the walls that hold back the Love from making this world a better place.

Love this world. Love this Life. Love the courage you’ve had to pave a new way of being. It is time to set your heart free! It changes everything.

Happy August!

Wishing All Our Dear, Sweet Family A Very Happy & Blessed Thursday!

Wiccan BlessingsGood Thursday Morn”! I know, thank goodness I warned you before hand about a possibility that we might disappear yesterday. We did, I am sure you noticed! The electrician showed up just as soon as they issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for us. I really think he was just looking for a place to get out of the storm. He didn’t bother working till it was over. Anyway, he “thinks” he fixed it (keyword “thinks”). He looked at the work area and told me, “we pulled a lot of power through here.” My reply, “SO!” I thought do you actually think we are going to change now? NO, fix the damn problem (sorry)! He didn’t finish yesterday, he had to come out this morning with a helper. This is now our test run to see if it is actually fixed. If we disappear after that bill, I am going to hex an electrician (oops! did I say that, lol!). Good grief, what they charge by the hour is pitiful!

 

I just wanted to let you know what happened. I do believe we are now back to normal. Again, what is normal, somebody please tell me! I also wanted to remind you about the raffle that ends tonight. Check out the merchandise and get your ticket, it is ending soon. Oh, almost forgot, we are doing things a little different today. We are leaving out the daily Witchery, We Celebrate, Celebrating Other Spirituality and the such. We are going straight for the divination. We are running late and you wouldn’t get your horoscopes till 2:00 this afternoon. Now, let me quit talking and get to work now.

 

We love you and thank you for your patience with us! Have a super great Thursday!

Love ya,

Lady A
