The month kicks off with a dramatic solar eclipse in Leo on August 1, followed by an equally dramatic lunar eclipse in Aquarius. An eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when one celestial object moves into the shadow of another. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's shadow crosses the Earth's surface, and a lunar eclipse is just the opposite, when the Moon moves into the shadow of the Earth. So what do these attention-grabbing eclipses mean for you? Leo is known for being quite dramatic, and solar eclipses are known for their emotional intensity. With the solar eclipse occurring in Leo, expect bold headlines and plenty of 'breaking news.' All eclipses occur at a new Moon -- a time of new beginnings -- making this a truly important event. The word 'eclipse' means that something dramatic or attention-getting has occurred, captivating our attention enough to pull it away from something -- or someone -- else. Knowing where this eclipse lands in your own chart and what planets are touched by it will give you information about an important area in your life that deserves your focus. Lunar eclipses are visually dramatic -- and they portend dramatic earthly events as well! The lunar eclipse in Aquarius on August 16 is no exception. There are dynamic aspects present in this eclipse, including a Sun/Neptune opposition and a Mars/Pluto square. An 'explain yourself' Saturn/Mercury conjunction also shows up. Watch what you say, because somebody takes the gloves off in the midst of a rather confusing situation! Get your personalized August Forecast now, and prepare for this dynamic and exciting month armed with the knowledge to seize the opportunities presented by these two eclipses. This detailed monthly forecast by master astrologer Art Poppe analyzes the effect of all these transits so you can anticipate their influence on your life all month long.
