Venus is retrograde in Leo for all of August. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all retrograde too. Hey — I don;t make up the news, I just report it, okay? As always, if this isn’t to your liking… please address all your complaints to The Manufacturer.

Here’s your Moon Astrology forecast — along with some noteworthy astrological events for the month –for August 2015, set for Eastern Standard Time.

One interesting observation about this month’s Moon action? This would normally be the point where I would say “the particularly long and painful Voids are marked with **“… except that this month the planets are sufficiently scattered around the Zodiac and enough of them are near the end of their respective Signs that there are none of those huge half-day or longer day-eating voids… except for maybe August 189th, depending on where in the world you live… for North and South America you’ll sleep through it.

Note: Times are for time zone 5 hours West. DST is observed.
