Gemini August 2023

You’ll be embracing abstract ideas and beliefs on August 1, as the full moon shines in Aquarius. You’re always full of new ideas, but this month, you’ll be feeling more inclined to embrace concepts that challenge traditional ways of thinking. You may have an aha moment now or be reaching the end of a particular study or academic. Whatever’s revealed to you now is bound to liberate you, which could distance you from a collective’s way of thinking. Don’t let this discourage you – sometimes it’s best to have an unpopular opinion. 

The Leo new moon on August 16 brings expressive, confident new ideas and perspectives into your world that you’ll be feeling eager to discuss with your peers. You’re used to being known for your fantastic opinions, but on this particular day, you’ll be eager to embrace topics that validate and assure you. So much so, that it’s important to share these findings with anyone willing to listen. You’ll be doing a lot of chatting today, but be sure you’re remaining receptive to the plethora of new information around you. 

On August 23, the sun will shift into Virgo, emphasizing your desire for productivity, organization, and clarity in your natural habitat. This season, you’ll be concerned with getting your affairs in order at home and with family members, but as Mercury stations retrograde here the same day, things may take a bit longer to come together. While this is a fortunate time for tackling your to-do list, be patient with the process – some conversations may need to be had before you can actually proceed. 

As the month comes to a close, the Pisces full moon illuminates the possibilities for growth and transcendence in your career and professional life. Your aspirations may feel more within reach now, and you may be stepping into a new career role (or leaving an old one behind). Either way, the things you aspire to accomplish feel more possible now than ever, so feel free to shoot for the stars.
