At the beginning of the month, on August 4, the Leo new moon resets the way you experience and prioritize personal joy and fulfillment! Though plenty of mundane responsibilities are currently on your to-do list, you’ll be encouraged to center your self-expression as this lunation unfolds. As you gain confidence today, you’ll be taking bold steps toward the activities that align with who you are at your core. Go on a date or showcase an artistic endeavor that deserves some attention. Your passions deserve the hype!
The next day, Mercury stations retrograde in productive Virgo on August 5, allowing you to reassess your habits, routines, and health regimens. During this transit, you’ll be prompted to take inventory of the ways in which you use your time and energy. However, once Mercury’s backspin sends the chatty planet back into expressive Leo on August 14, you’ll switch gears and focus on your passions, hobbies, and sexual affairs until August 28. What are some of the creative projects you’ve been thinking about sharing with the world? Now is the time to tune into your authentic voice to ensure you express your desires without restraint.
On August 19, the Aquarius full moon brings the current state of your friendships and alliances into question. Your desire to connect with those who share similar beliefs will be more apparent today, making this a fortunate time to partner up with people who are unapologetically themselves. How can you join forces with your peers to innovate a system that supports inclusivity?
The sun shifts into detail-oriented Virgo by August 22, highlighting your daily rituals and obligations. If you’ve been neglecting the needs of your physical body, now is the time to tend to it! As someone who is often on the go, it’s important not to overlook the small habits that keep you operating at your best—even if it’s as simple as going for your daily walk.
