The Leo new moon on August 4 offers renewed perspectives in your romantic pursuits, clearing up some of the desires you have in your intimate connections with others. This lunation may coincide with the start of a passionate new relationship or the beginning of a new chapter regarding how you make your own needs known in love and dating. While your focus will be on showing the people in your life lots of love today, try not to neglect yourself and your own needs!
Then, Mercury stationing retrograde in analytical Virgo on August 5 prompts you to revise some of the details of your shared resources, financial obligations, and private affairs. During this transit, reorganizing your responsibilities will be top of mind, in addition to hashing out any important conversations with a romantic or professional partner. By August 14, Mercury will regress back into bold Leo, activating the desire to speak your mind and vocalize your desires in your love life. If any of your needs have been going unnoticed, you may feel inclined to communicate them to your partner now.
By August 19, the full moon in Aquarius brings awareness to your desire for independence, innovation, and self-discipline. Today, you’ll be compelled to center your own ideas and beliefs, even if they separate you from others. You’ve never been afraid of standing alone, and today, you’ll be reminded of the qualities that make you stand out from the crowd. You were never meant to fit in—you’ll be rocking the boat and challenging the traditional narratives of the world around you.
Virgo season begins on August 22, illuminating the current state of your boundaries, obligations, and fears. How are you maintaining a sense of structure and organization behind the scenes? Perfection is an illusion, but it’s essential that you maintain a firm grasp on reality, especially when it comes to what you’re responsible for. While this season may come with more serious revelations, it’ll allow you to get your financial and personal affairs in order.
