There’s a powerful solar eclipse on August 11 at 8am UTC. It’s visible from Norway to Japan across the northern hemisphere but not in the southern hemisphere.
Even if it isn’t taking place near you, it’s significant astrologically because eclipses are like super-powered New Moons. Something is ending to make way for something new to begin.
This eclipse is in Leo so at a very benign angle to you. It could be that a teacher or mentor leaves your college or university. It could also be that you will suddenly realise that you don’t want to carry on with your particular course of study or work. These are just possible scenarios. The essential story of this eclipse for you is a change of worldview. So for example, this might cause you to drop your travel plans.
The best advice is to be ready for a possible switcheroo this month, and know that something better will quickly follow.
But what of the rest of August? Well, obviously it’s one of the best months of the year for you. The Sun is in friendly, gregarious Leo, a fellow fire sign — and therefore the king of the solar system is beaming benignly in your direction.
From August 23, the Sun shifts into Virgo, the sign that rules the very top of your chart. This may well put you in the spotlight for a few weeks — or else in charge.
And what is more, your ruler, jolly Jupiter is now steaming along at a stately pace, spreading well-being and benevolence wherever he goes and helping you to feel at one with life, the universe and everything.
You might be very busy for much of the month talking, or possibly chatting, or maybe gossiping. There could be a lot of interesting information flying around.
August is also a great month for you to acquire a new skill fast. For example, you could take a crash course in Italian, or learn HTML. So think about going to summer school. You are known as the professor of the Zodiac (by some) or just a plain know it all (by others). What is it really want to know about, or do excellently?
