August 1 brings a confrontation in your partnerships and close bonds as Mars and Uranus cross paths in a zone of your sky that rules relationships and how you depend on others. Is there something you’ve been withholding that can’t be a secret any longer? This transit activates your need to express yourself independently from those around you, and only invest in folks who want the best for you. Push through those difficult conversations!
On August 4, communication planet Mercury moves into steadfast Virgo and aids you in reconnecting to your dreams and community. Around this time, you’re reminded that it’s not about saying a lot, it’s about saying the right thing to reinforce your bonds with others and commitment to your goals. Venus enters Leo on August 11, bringing you into a place in your career where you aren’t afraid to accept some new leadership roles. Just remember not to over commit yourself to various tasks! The next day on August 12, the full moon in Aquarius asks you to return to spaces where you feel safe, and celebrate the kinship you share with chosen family members. Family is allowed to be people that you define in your life, and unconventional Aquarius vibes encourage you to embrace this.
On August 20, Mars enters air sign Gemini and sets you on a new journey of how you navigate anxieties, fear, and anger that stems from a deep place within you. Get serious about finding ways to let your emotions out in positive ways! Not everything is worth scowling at. Mercury moves again on August 27, entering a zone of your sky that prefers silence over mindless chatter. Prepare for pensive vibes, and speaking through body language more than words. Finally, your month rounds off with a new moon in Virgo bringing a burst of renewing energy into your sky. Use this as a chance to create lists and logic around how you want to proceed with fulfilling your dreams and goals.
