Astrology for August 12, 2024

The Moon continues in Scorpio allowing us to look deeper and see things that perhaps we did not understand. As things come to light about the choices and behaviors that we use when dealing with stress and guilt, we must take an honest look at what motivates us and what is lacking either inside or out. Our emotions show us what is not completely resolved internally, and that in turn causes our external to become a part of the mirror to our innermost selves.

Try to not be so hard on others as they grapple with such issues as the come into view. And try to not be hard on ourselves, as we discover our own weaknesses that might be still lurking in the shadows.

Much needs to be seen and uncovered to grow. The way we learn is to recognize that in each moment our actions and choices reflect parts that are still needing to find a place to land and find how to come back home inside of us.

The last few days might have showed you something that surprised you but, on many levels, we have to laugh and remind ourselves that being human and being in a human body is a magically flawed process. It is designed that way to allow us to see past our illusions and into places that we still need to work to develop fully.

Awareness is the key to just about everything.

The arising of feelings and desires is always a messy event. Now, we can smile that some of us thwarted obvious problems because we maintained a constant awareness of boundaries that others have, or that others needed to keep intact. For many of us, we breathe almost a sign of relief that we stayed in a mature mindset when we watched others younger and more impulsive than us fail at critical moments.

But it is important to keep up some sort of awareness today as there are dangers that will appear because angels put obstacles in our path … intentionally so that we can learn and embrace our human-ness. Perhaps angles put those obstacles on our path to stop us from doing stupid and impulsive things.

Mars and Pluto will have a minor square and today, we might need more than a few moments to ourselves. The last few days were a social stretch and now we long to get back to a more normal rhythm and routine.

We do not need to get our way as much as we just need time for quiet reflection on all that has transpired. Integration takes stillness and silence.

Overall, the current pressures and social distractions have become a great opportunity to create a wonderful and magical outcome. Enjoy that realization and bask in the completion of that process as long as you can.
