August 9th Zodiac

August 9th smells of some sort of an ending and has a tone of contemplation and realizations that are much larger than common earthly issues. A lot has to be done in the inner world of those born on this date, and even though their strong Sun in Leo allows constant progress in their lifetime, they easily find themselves stranded, between ideals they wish to pursue and reality that beliefs they were taught shape.

August 9th Horoscope

People born on the 9th of August may be philosophers and thinkers with a higher cause, those who need their ideals and talents nurtured and recognized, or they might get depressed or turn to different forms of addictions and unhealthy relationships. Tied to matters of the past and unable to disconnect in a healthy way from moments in life that inspired them, quite often they end up in situations that force them to detach. This can be troubling if their emotional structure isn’t well supported and their love for Self is shaken.

The Sun and Uranus tell the tale of their second row of planets, pointing out the need for an intense change to express their individualism and the higher truth given to them by birth. Fighters for the ideal, they are unpredictable when pushed into a wall, and may become troublemakers and cause riots if their movements aren’t slow, steady, and in constant touch with their sensitive core.

Love and Emotions

Idealistic and passionate, some individuals born on the 9th of August hold on to platonic and unmaterialized bonds for too long. Others will force the physical side to their bonds, dismissing the Divine love along the way and seeing the world as a rough place where joy is to be found every step of the way. In truth, they are sensitive souls in need of warm and cuddly romances and partners who understand their deep beliefs. They need someone to follow and someone to follow them, falling in love again and again, every morning when they wake up next to their loved one.

Often tied to emotions that marked their lives with intense beauty, they sometimes get stuck and leave pieces of their Soul scattered among past relationships. To set free and gather energy for new and incredible experiences coming their way, they are to set free from anger, understand their own inner drive, and accept that some relationships were never meant to last and that this doesn’t define those that could last a lifetime.

Purpose

As if to prove the claim made by Sabian symbols, the guiding light of those born on August 9th is found in the nature of Mars and the first chakra. This points them towards recognition of their energy sources and their body as the instrument given to be cherished and nurtured if they are to create a safe and peaceful harbor for their ideals to land on. In time, they typically turn to a healthier lifestyle, realizing that this is the only way to enjoy the real world surrounding them.

What They Excel In

Missionaries and fighters for human rights, for their own rights and any ideal that they feel is essential to their livelihood, they excel in inspirational work that drives them towards the modern world. Artistic and able to connect to the field, they make excellent actors, painters, and musicians, for as long as they have the foundation to carry the burden of such career choices.
