The month begins on a personal note, as the full moon unfolds in Aquarius on August 1. You’ll be called to acknowledge your need to blaze your own trail. While this can sometimes be a lonely journey, you’d much rather be true to yourself than follow the crowd, and this is an opportunity to veer off into your own lane. You’re rarely interested in ego-driven pursuits, however, make this full moon about you, your current thoughts, and personal truths. Being true to yourself can be isolating, but it’s always rewarding.
The Leo new moon on August 16 brings a renewed sense of confidence to your romantic relationships and partnerships. You’re not often interested in loud displays of affection, but during this time, the acknowledgment you’re getting from your partnerships is bound to feel affirming. You may also be embarking on a new relationship now, or simply socializing in new ways. It’s a good time to consider how you need to feel seen by the people around you.
On August 23, the sun shifts into meticulous Virgo, highlighting your current responsibilities and obligations. Whether they be financial or emotional, this season is prompting you to get your affairs in order in a way that makes sense. This may also be a time to reconfigure your boundaries with others, especially as Mercury stations retrograde in Virgo the same day. This may be a moment for serious or “difficult” conversations, so be mindful of the information being shared with you, and vice versa – important details could get lost in translation now.
The Pisces full moon on August 30 brings emphasis to your current finances and personal resources. You’ll be considering the possibilities that your assets can offer you now and may find yourself imagining the ways you can make the most of what you currently have. While certain particulars may still be up in the air, this is a good time for dreaming up new ways of enjoying the fruits of your labor.
