August Astrological Insights

August and Creative opportunities!  
August 1st - 6th  Strongest on August 3rd Venus Trine Uranus
August 1st - 6th, Venus and Uranus come into play with each other, giving you an opportunity to create more personal freedom in new and exciting ways when it comes to relationships as well as adding more beauty in certain areas of your life, if you desire!  
Venus relates to a number of aspects in life such as relationships/partnerships, business, money, and desires to beautify your space (home, office, rooms) as well as your own being. Uranus adds a level of breaking free of old ways to bring in something creative and new that feels more in alignment with where you are now, within yourself, and with life. Uranus also can have a flare of “suddenness” or “expected the unexpected” type of activation with its energy. Therefore, during the first week of August, you might get a sudden spark of a new idea you weren’t expecting to have in relation to any of the Venus aspects of life I mentioned above.
Have you been feeling bored in your relationship? If so, this week might bring these feelings more to your awareness, tapping into a need for change. This is a soft and easy aspect between Venus and Uranus, so it won’t force a change, but you’ll have the opportunity to create ways to re-enliven areas of your relationship that feel dull. Sometimes this can even open you up to wanting to leave a troubling relationship that you feel is not right for you to be in anymore. 
Uranus helps us break free from things/situations/people that hold us back from our true selves and or our personal alignment with life. 
During this first week, you may also have an opportunity to find more creative ways to attract business to you if needed. In a whole other direction, you might find yourself creating your home space in ways to add more beauty or change your personal style to something new, novel to explore that you wouldn’t normally do, but feels good to do so. 
Take the creative energy that becomes available and apply it to what you want to change and refreshen in your life!!  This energy is strongest on August 3rd. 

August 18th - 27th  Strongest August 22nd Mars Trine Uranus
Remember back in July when I mentioned the tensions around feeling frustrated with the way change is or isn’t happening this year? Or feeling it’s not happening quick enough or there are more roadblocks to allow the anticipated change to happen. Last month you may have felt more impatient with the timing and process of new things coming your way.  
Well... this same energy is taking a turn in August, and now there’s the opportunity to move forward with the changes with ease.  It’s time to move out of the frustration zone around the new things you know are coming into your life and see the ways in which the energy is flowing and allowing it to happen with more ease. 
As mentioned above, things happen suddenly with Uranus and now that it’s coming into an easy Trine aspect with Mars, August 18th - 27th, your efforts to help move things along may prove to have beneficial results. The new things that have been brewing, perhaps most of the year, are now ready to be activated. The only caveat is you’ll have to make the efforts to create what you’ve been wanting, it won’t just happen for you. However, the energy is open and supportive for you to step into the new things you’re creating. 
The manifest for change is powerful! Step into this August 18th - 27th!
