2022 August 2
A Moon Dressed Like Saturn
Image Credit & Copyright: Francisco Sojuel
Explanation: Why does Saturn appear so big? It doesn’t — what is pictured are foreground clouds on Earth crossing in front of the Moon. The Moon shows a slight crescent phase with most of its surface visible by reflected Earthlight known as ashen glow. The Sun directly illuminates the brightly lit lunar crescent from the bottom, which means that the Sun must be below the horizon and so the image was taken before sunrise. This double take-inducing picture was captured on 2019 December 24, two days before the Moon slid in front of the Sun to create a solar eclipse. In the foreground, lights from small Guatemalan towns are visible behind the huge volcano Pacaya.

August 2022 General Monthly Horoscope
From tarot.com
Anything goes as the month begins — literally anything! Assertive Mars makes a combustible conjunction to wild Uranus in Taurus on August 1. We’ll experience this conjunction as fireworks in our lives, since these two planets together are definitely flammable. Tempers might flare, but this also may jumpstart the exact connections we need.
Love becomes a playful adventure as Venus enters Leo on August 11. Our approach to romance might be lighter than usual. Sometimes, being innocent and having an open heart is exactly what’s required to make the most out of love. A Full Moon in Aquarius happens on the same day, reminding us that a solid foundation in friendship is vital to nurture our lives.
Duality becomes a major theme as Mars enters Gemini on August 20. We might feel energetically pulled in many different directions that compete for our stamina. Fortunately, we should have the gusto to juggle more than one major goal during this time. It’s not about choosing — it’s about balancing. Even so, the universe is giving us the ability to be discerning and pay attention to the details around any new project begun after the New Moon in Virgo on August 27. We’ve got the power!

THE NUMBER OF PLANETS RETROGRADE IN AUGUST MIGHT PUT YOU ON EDGE
The term retrograde gets a bad rap. (Mercury rx, I blame you.) But surprisingly, retrogrades aren’t always earth-shattering events. How life-changing a retrograde tends to be is based on the planet itself and its proximity to the sun, which vary widely. For example, Mercury and Venus retrogrades are often more noticeable, since those planets (aka inner planets) are closer to the sun (and Earth), while the retrogrades of outer planets like Uranus and Neptune aren’t always as apparent. So when I tell you that there are five retrograde planets in August 2022, don’t panic — all of them are outer planets, making the changes they bring up far more gradual.
What Is A Retrograde?
The definition of “retrograde” means to reverse or go backward — but when it comes to the planets, they are actually always moving forward. During this cycle from Earth, however, it appears as if they’re going backward, when in reality they’re just changing speeds.
Every astrological planet retrogrades periodically, except for the sun and moon (since they’re luminaries). The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto), in particular, spend about four to five months every year retrograde. These retrogrades always occur around the time that they form a trine to the sun, which activates the retrograde of the planet. Near the end of the retrograde, the retrograde planet will form another trine to the sun, bringing endings to that period, and usually a revelation.
What Planets Will Be Retrograde During August 2022?
With all five outer planets — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto — retrograde in August 2022, there will definitely be some reviewing and revising that takes place, but don’t worry, you’ve experienced the retrogrades of each of these planets every single year, so you’re a pro.

The Full Moon for this month will occur in the second week on Friday, August 12th. The New Moon will happen later in August on Saturday, August 27th.
What is the August Full Sturgeon Moon?
August’s full moon is called the Full Sturgeon Moon, after the primitive fish that used to be abundant in North America’s lakes and rivers during the summer months. Having remained mostly unchanged since the earliest fossil records, sturgeons are ancient living fossils that can grow up until 3.5 meters long, or as long as two adult humans stacked on top of each other. Nowadays, however, it’s almost impossible to see a sturgeon during the Full Sturgeon Moon. While they used to thrive, sturgeons are now considered the single most critically endangered group of species on earth – and you might be part of the reason why.
Have you ever eaten caviar? Some species of sturgeons are harvested for their roe, which is then processed into caviar. Because of this, wild sturgeons have been exploited to the brink of extinction due to overfishing and illegal poaching. In addition, they are also vulnerable to water pollution, and their breeding grounds are often damaged due to agriculture and lumbering. Though sturgeons are extremely long-lived – the females can live up to be 150 years old – sturgeons might not be around for much longer. They might have survived the dinosaurs, but they might not be able to survive human beings and our hunger for luxurious delicacies like caviar. But there is something even more terrifying than hungry human beings: hungry ghosts.
In China, the Full Sturgeon Moon is known as the Hungry Ghosts Moon. August’s full moon coincides with the Hungry Ghosts Festival, which is when the gates of hell open up and the hungry dead once again walk amongst the living. The Chinese prepare offerings of food and money to satisfy the ghosts’ hunger, make them happy, and prevent them from causing havoc amongst humankind. In Malaysia and Singapore, Chinese communities set up musical stages and host performances, making sure to always leave the front row empty for the honored guests – the hungry ghosts. Under the full moon, people light lotus-shaped water lanterns and float them on lakes, rivers, and pools, in order to provide light for lost souls to find their way safely back into the afterlife.
Despite the macabre atmosphere of the event, the Hungry Ghosts Festival actually originated as a harvest festival during the Han Dynasty, during which farmers would pray to their ancestors and report their autumn harvest to them. Due to Taoist and Buddhist influences, folk beliefs combined with religious ceremonies to form the Hungry Ghost Festival. In Japan, which also had Buddhist influences, this festival is celebrated as the Obon festival. Japanese communities wear yukata, eat and make merry at carnivals, and perform the Obon dance.
In North America, Native American tribes also saw the Full Sturgeon Moon as signifying a time of bountiful harvest. The Cherokee tribes called it the Full Fruit Moon, and many other First Nation tribes referred to it as the Black Berries Moon. The Sioux called it the Moon When All Things Ripen. The Paint Clans, which were known for their medicinal prowess, would harvest herbs and medicines, while the Wild Potato tribes would forage for food. Naturally, they would also catch a lot of sturgeon. You, on the other hand, may want to celebrate the Full Sturgeon Moon by telling your friends about the importance of saving its critically endangered namesake.

August 2022 – Gardening by the Moon, Biodynamic Planting Guide
Please read this first:1) Moon Phase x Moon Zodiac Sign:
Please keep in mind, that Gardening by Moon Phase and Gardening by Moon Zodiac Sign are two different/independent biodynamic systems and they might give you different or contradictiory gardening recommendations.
- a) Each Moon Phase (except Full Moon and New Moon) lasts about 1 week
- b) Each Moon Zodiac Sign lasts about 2.5 days
Try to experiment with these two systems to find which recommendations suits you the most.
2) Tropical (Astrological) x Sidereal (Astronomical) Zodiac:
(1-2 days difference in Leaf, Fruit, Root and Flower days)
There are two different zodiacs for determining the Moon Sign:
- a) Tropical zodiac (Astrological) is based on the seasons – Vernal Equinox is fixed as 0° Aries (The 1st Fruit day)
- b) Sidereal zodiac (Astronomical) takes into account Precession of Equinoxes and shifts 0° Aries back by cca 1-2 days. Maria Thun who was an authority on biodynamics was using this Sidereal zodiac
Try to experiment also with these two zodiac systems to find which system suits you better.

Moon Alert
Avoid shopping or important decisions after 6 PM EDT today (3 PM to 9:15 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Virgo into Libra.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Keep an eye on your money today. Likewise, keep an eye on your possessions to avoid theft, damage or loss with your things. Matters related to your personal wealth and assets are volatile today. (Anything could happen.) Guard against impulse shopping, particularly during the Moon Alert. Keep your receipts.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You feel rebellious! This is why you’re restless, impatient and determined to take matters into your own hands. You don’t want to wait for permission, or for anyone else to catch up to you. You’ve decided it’s time to act, and you’re going to do it. (Be smart: Think twice.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Today you feel vaguely restless; but you’re keen to talk to others and enlighten people about your ideas. You might also want to study and learn something new. However, some kind of unexpected event taking place behind the scenes will affect you, and possibly throw your plans off kilter.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Something unexpected or sudden will take place in your relations with friends, classes and groups today. Someone might say or do something unusual, which in turn, sends everything in a new direction. You might suddenly encounter someone who is different. Possibly, a friendship will blow up.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Tread carefully when dealing with parents, bosses and the police today because you feel rebellious, even reckless. This means you want to take matters into your own hands and do exactly what you want to do. You want to run the show. Quite likely, someone will object. Easy does it.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Travel plans will change today. They might be cancelled or delayed; or in turn, you might suddenly have to travel when you did not expect to do so. You might also meet someone from another culture or a different country who has surprising news.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Something unexpected could impact banking details or something to do with inheritances or shared property, which means you have to be on top of things. Check bank accounts. Check agreements you have with others about debt or shared property. Be in the know.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Be patient with partners, spouses and close friends today because anything could happen. They might be angry about something or something might trigger a sudden argument? Someone might demand more freedom or a different arrangement? It’s a crapshoot!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Your routine will be interrupted today, almost certainly. Staff shortages, power outages, late deliveries, mixed-up messages and equipment breakdowns are just some reasons your plans could go south in a New York minute. Therefore, give yourself extra time so that you can cope with the unexpected.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Parents: Please know that this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Therefore, be vigilant. Meanwhile, social plans will change today. You might receive an unexpected invitation? Or conversely, plans to go out to an entertaining event will be delayed or cancelled. Bummer.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Your home routine will change today. Small appliances might break down or minor breakages could occur. Someone unexpected might appear at your door. At least, have some food and drink in the fridge so you can cope with the unexpected. (Food and drink are always comforting.)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. Of course, nothing has to happen; however, if you are distracted because you are aggravated or caught off guard – then you are at a disadvantage. Therefore, stay mindful and be aware.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actor Adrian Dunbar (1958) shares your birthday today. You are a natural leader who is warm and friendly. In fact, frequently, others will look to you for help and guidance. You enjoy your creature comforts. This year is about service to others, especially family. This means it’s important to take care of yourself. Time for a makeover?

All Signs
This week we have a strong hit of Uranus happening. Uranus was discovered around the time of the French Revolution. (“Liberty! Equality! Fraternity!”) Uranus represents the defiant energy to break free from oppression. It challenges the rigid structures you work hard to maintain. It is associated with the unexpected, something out of step in your everyday world. It forces you to break free of mind-numbing habits and blows fresh air into your life. It rejuvenates and makes you feel younger and more alive! It’s a reminder that you will never again be as young as you are as you read these words. Therefore, Carpe Diem! (That’s Latin for “Fish Sale!”)
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Your ruler fiery Mars is lined up with unpredictable Uranus in one of your Money Houses. You definitely have to pay attention because at the beginning of the week, something unexpected could impact your wealth, your earnings, your assets and your possessions. To put it mildly, you might find money; you might lose money. Be aware and conscientious so that you can protect what you own from loss, theft or damage. On the upside, someone might suddenly give you something. Or perhaps, you will display sudden generosity to someone else? Sudden purchases for your home, especially something beautiful, will please you. You might spontaneously entertain at home, especially on Tuesday. Protect your financial situation again on Friday.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Caution! As this week begins, fiery Mars is in your sign lined up with wild, wacky Uranus, triggering sudden upsets, rash behaviour and unexpected incidents. It will be difficult to make plans because many things will happen without warning, and suddenly — your plans have gone south in a New York minute. You’ll have a tendency to be impulsive and act rashly. This same energy can make you careless because you’re moving too fast, not thinking ahead of time. Perhaps you’re angry at someone? You definitely want to assert your individual freedom. And why not? It’s time to do your best imitation of Janis Joplin, “… freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.”
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This is a tricky week. Your fast-paced continues with errands, short trips, plus increased reading, writing and studying. You might be busy at home with repairs and family discussions. Nevertheless, something surprising and unexpected going on behind the scenes will catch you off guard, especially at the beginning of the week. It could impact your earnings. For example, you might spontaneously buy something unusual, modern or high tech. You might also receive a gift of money that you did not expect. (Fingers crossed.) Do your best to stay mellow this week, even though life will feel unsettled. Be patient with coworkers on Friday when upsetting issues might catch you off guard. (An Eastern proverb says, “Even a hurricane only lasts a day.”)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Your focus on money, possessions and your personal values continues this week. However, a friend will surprise you – no question. Especially during the beginning of the week. Possibly, for some, this surprise is an encounter with someone who is different or unusual in some way. This surprising encounter might also be connected with a club or an organization. You might join a protest group. (Or you might be asked to leave!) This unexpected interaction might ultimately impact your relations with kids or with a romantic partner. It’s complicated; but at least, it’s not a boring week. Remember not to act hastily so you can avoid later regrets. Be mindful.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
This continues to be a powerful time for you with the Sun in your sign. You can rejuvenate and restore your strength. You can also attract people and favourable situations to you. However, this week, begins with something abrupt, sudden and unexpected, very likely dealing with a parent or a boss. This person might do something that surprises you; or in turn, you might feel that you have to defy them or break free of their restrictions or ill-advised rules. (They will seem ill advised from your point of view.) Basically, you are not a follower, you are a leader. Therefore, you do not like to be told what to do. Be patient with family members on Friday. Be gracious and do what you can to keep the peace. Be an example.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Tread carefully if travelling this week because many of you will face delays, cancellations and interruptions. This same unexpected influence might impact legal matters or something to do with a medical situation. Some will be surprised through the media. If travelling, double check details before you leave home. Be mindful and pay attention to everything you say and do to avoid accidents. You might also meet a real character this week, especially around Tuesday. Or perhaps, someone you know will do something that surprises you. Be patient with siblings, relatives and neighbours on Friday. In fact, stay chill to avoid an accident then, as well. (Yikes!)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This continues to be a lovely week to schmooze with others, especially because you feel particularly sociable. Enjoy good times with friends, as well as interacting with clubs and organizations. In particular, you’ll make a fabulous impression on bosses and VIPs, which is why some of you might strike up a sudden romance with someone in a position of authority, especially around Tuesday. Meanwhile, check banking details and anything to do with inheritances, shared property and insurance matters because this week begins with a surprise or something unexpected that could impact shared property, debt or your finances in some way. Stay top of these red-tape areas so that you are not caught off guard, because when it comes to money – you snooze, you lose.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This week will definitely hold a few surprises for you. You continue to be high viz. with the Sun at high noon in your chart. Furthermore, you continue to make a fantastic impression on everyone, without doing anything special. Go figure. However, a partner or close friend is sure to surprise you at the beginning of the week. This could be an explosive argument, unexpected news, or the introduction to someone who is unusual or surprising in some way. Get ready. Meanwhile, surprise opportunities to travel might come your way early in the week. You might also meet someone unusual or hear pleasing unexpected news about something to do with higher education, the media, publishing, medicine or the law. Be patient on Friday, when you will feel tested.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You love to travel. But this month, you’re especially eager to spread your wings. Grab every opportunity to do this! Meanwhile, discussions with bosses and people in power will be favourable. In fact, people will listen to you, so don’t hesitate to speak up. Unexpected goodies, gifts and favours from others might come your way, especially around Tuesday. However, at the beginning of the week, something related to pets, your health or your job might surprise you or catch you off guard. Prepare yourself and get ready for this. You might have to streamline a situation. Or you do something so that you have more time to have wiggle room to deal with the unexpected. Ditto again on Friday.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This continues to be an intense time, with strong psychological compulsions surfacing. (Why do I keep opening and closing the fridge?) You might be concerned about finances that are jointly held or trying to get a loan or a mortgage. Parents must be aware that the beginning of this week is an accident-prone time for your kids. Therefore, be vigilant. Know where they are at all times. Likewise, sports accidents can occur. Social plans are subject to cancellation and sudden changes. Romantic relationships could be on rocky ground. Unexpected things might occur and later boomerang back on Friday. Fortunately, Tuesday brings good news related to partners and friends.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Focus on home and family this week because something unexpected will occur. Take precautions to avoid fires and home accidents. Likewise, be patient with family members to avoid arguments. A moment of distraction could lead to a home accident. Could be major or minor. If negotiating a real-estate transaction, double check every angle. Ironically, the next day Tuesday, something favourable might surprise you at work. Or it could relate to your health or even a pet. Keep your cool when dealing with parents and authority figures on Friday. George Burns was right, “Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family – in another city.”
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
It’s a good thing that you’re on top of your game this week — working hard and being as efficient as possible — because at the beginning of the week, there’s an accident-prone influence for your sign. Therefore, stay tuned. Be mindful and aware. Pay attention to everything you say and do because it will be easy for you to go off half-cocked, and say or do something without thinking. And you might regret this later. And beware: this same unchecked energy will manifest again on Friday. This week is not just about some serious warnings. Tuesday might bring a fun invitation to an entertaining event, possibly the theatre, a musical group, a sports event or playful activities with kids. An exciting invitation might surprise!

Do whatever you can to change your daily routine today because you want adventure and stimulation. You want to expand your horizons! Enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds or cultures. Travel if possible. Do something so that you can learn new ideas, concepts and philosophies.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Although this is a marvellous day to discuss shared property, inheritances and the wealth and responsibilities you share with others – nevertheless, you want to get outta Dodge. You need a change of scenery! (Note that your discussions with others will be settled in your favour.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Relations with close friends, partners and spouses are super positive today! People are happy and harmonious with each other. You will also work well with a partner today, especially if what you do involves travel or dealing with foreign interests.

Because of your unusual way of thinking and doing, you can be sensitive but don’t necessarily let it be known that your feelings could be hurt. Those born on this day can also be bull-headed.
The July 31 birthday personality characteristics show that you have great attention to detail. You have sound qualities, but you have a vivid imagination as well.
More often than not, you are traveling about the country. Perhaps you have a road buddy as you don’t like to be alone. You like having someone depend on you. Having a sense of responsibility gives you the feeling of being needed.
People seem to like you a lot. Passionate and charismatic, the Leo birthday personality is likely to be successful in love. The July 31st horoscope predicts that a person born today gets straight to the point.
You are still very aware and respectful of other people’s feelings. You are a warm-hearted individual who attracts somewhat of an older and more experienced crowd. People feel at home in your company.
As the July 31st zodiac suggests that in love, you are most happy to be a part of a union. Normally, you are concerned with your freedom but having the emotional security of a lasting relationship is something that a Leo needs. Home is where your heart is. You tend to daydream and fantasize about romance and love.
It is there that you find a partner that is sexy, generous and passionate. More so, a partner that will keep you grounded but open to express your feelings positively and productively. You may feel that you will know the right person for you when you meet your soul mate.
As the July 31st astrology meanings rightly say, typically, you are a Leo who will be satisfied with a lower paying position if you were to have a position that is personally gratifying.
You’re creative and can convey your visions through your work. If this is not possible, then you are likely to do this as a hobby. Hobbies can be profitable. You are no quitter, patient and determined; you get the job done.
Let’s talk about your health. A Leo’s health is generally perfect. You look great! For the July 31 zodiac birthday person, the body is joined with the soul and mind to make one entity or so you believe. Since these parts work together, you can focus on them together instead of singular.
Sometimes, you may go to great lengths to maintain your excellent health rating. On the other hand, you tend to stay up late and do not get the rest you should. Bad, bad Lion. Remember, you have to complete each mission to avoid illnesses. Without your beauty sleep, you set yourself up for mood swings and aggravation.
The July 31 birthday personality, is capable of being the best. You typically have an unusual way of thinking and doing things, but you still are alert and sensitive to others.
