August 2019 Astrology Forecast: Leo and Virgo Stelliums

Episode 216 features the astrological forecast for August of 2019, with astrologers Kelly Surtees, Austin Coppock, and Chris Brennan. In the first part of the episode we catch up on Kelly and Austin's recent moves, and reflect on coming out of the other side of the difficult transits in June and July, and then in the second part of the show we get into the forecast for August. The first half of August features a bunch of inner planets moving into Leo and trining Jupiter in Sagittarius, while the second part of the month has many of the same planets forming a stellium in Virgo. Later in the episode we also present one auspicious electional chart for starting different types of ventures and undertakings this month.
