Libra August 2023

On the first day of the month, the Aquarius full moon brings your desire for unique creative and pleasure-focused activities to the forefront. You’ve always enjoyed innovation in this area, and today is a fortunate time for radicalizing the ways you let your hair down. Lean into a hobby that pushes you out of your comfort zone, or spend time with someone who inspires you. This lunation could also represent a pivotal aha moment that highlights your desire for true, liberated enjoyment. 

The Leo new moon on August 16 invites fresh starts into your social world, placing you front and center among your peers. As a social butterfly, you’re bound to feel confident and comfortable mingling with others on this day, and will possibly even form new alliances. You’re proud of the community you’ve created, and now is a time to acknowledge the love you bring into the lives of others, simply by being you. So, be sure to surround yourself with people that appreciate you in return – you’ll want nothing but genuine support around you now. 

You’ll be pulled into a period of introspection on August 23, as the sun shifts into meticulous Virgo. This season is an opportunity to internally process and self-analyze behind closed doors. While this may not be the most social season for you, you’re taking a closer look at your behaviors and practices behind closed doors to ensure that they’re useful and productive. However, as Mercury stations retrograde in Virgo the same day, you’ll be making adjustments to your habits, mindsets, and tendencies. 

The Pisces full moon on August 30 prioritizes your need for fluidity in your daily routines and rituals. It’s important that your habitual practices leave room for ebb and flow, and now’s the time to consider what your most picturesque regime could look like. While structure here can be useful, it’s important that your obligations don’t restrict your creativity.
