Aug. 11 will bring a full moon in Aquarius. This lunation asks us to think about not only what we want, but also what we’re willing to let go of. Figuring that out might be the missing puzzle piece you need to move forward.
The sun will leave courageous Leo and enter practical Virgo on Aug. 22. During Leo season, we were able to be brave and go after our true desires. Virgo season, however, will help us adapt and carve out new paths to get where we’re going.
The new moon in Virgo on Aug. 27 invites us to be logical about what we want to manifest for ourselves. New moons are a time for planting seeds. In order to do this, we may need to embrace our imperfections. This might not be easy, but it will be incredibly rewarding.
It’s time to advocate for your own wants and needs, Aries. Make a new budget for yourself. Sort through shared resources, and maybe even have a hard conversation with an authority figure about your worth. Reflecting on your habits will help you put yourself first. Just make sure you’re not steamrolling over others along the way. Be assertive, but also be mindful of the fact that you don’t have to burn bridges to get what you desire.
This is the month when you take your power back, Taurus. Success might look different than you imagined, but there’s strength in this kind of transformation. You’ve been on the brink of making necessary changes, and you’re ready to get started. Lay a new foundation for yourself, your values, and where you find true security in your life. Pay close attention to the connections you make, and see how they can offer you a different perspective.
You might start off the month feeling frustrated by your lack of motivation, Gemini. The trick is to listen to your body. Allow your batteries to recharge so that, later in the month, you are ready for everything life has to offer. Soon enough, you’ll feel motivated and ready to connect with others. Embrace your surroundings during this time; allow them to stimulate your mind to create new ideas.
This is an excellent time for you to take a closer look at your sense of stability, Cancer. This could involve anything from your finances to what makes you feel secure to what you hold sacred. You have grown a lot and have a new understanding of who you are and what you want. Use this time to reassess your hopes and dreams so you can move forward in a comfortable way that speaks to your true values.
You could see some changes in how you present yourself this month, Leo. You will feel the urge to break through a barrier that’s been holding you back for a long time. You’re more aware of your limitations—now, figure out how you can embrace newness instead of sticking to what’s comfortable. Invest in yourself, your future, and your happiness. Your limitations don’t define you, so don’t keep your cards close to your chest when it comes to success.
You’re becoming more aware of yourself this month, Virgo. It’s possible that you need to break free of the expectations others have of you. This isn’t necessarily a great time to have serious conversations about what you’re discovering. Instead, allow yourself to be curious and creative about how you would like to express yourself later in the month. Get to know yourself, and then share what you’ve learned with others when everything comes into clearer focus.
This month, you’re being called to find a balance between your needs and other people’s wants, Libra. This is a great time to let go of intimate attachments that aren’t serving you so there’s room to grow. When you put yourself first, it can open your eyes to so many new possibilities that align with your values. It can even help you make new connections that will have a positive impact on your future.
This month brings the ability to make much-needed changes in your partnerships, Scorpio. You’ve already worked on the ways that you relate to others one-on-one; this is a time to assert your boundaries and make shifts to any areas where you’re feeling stuck or limited. There might be connections you need to let go of, and other people you’ll want to find new ways to be intimate with. But in order to get there, you have to be honest with yourself and others.
It’s likely you will find yourself pondering whether your relationships are healthy or not, Sagittarius. You enjoy connecting with others who challenge you in fun, exciting ways. But you also need people in your life who have faith in you. Your demands are shifting, and fighting against this isn’t going to do much for you anymore. You deserve to invest in your life in a way that makes you feel free. Surround yourself with people who give back to you in the same way that you give to them.
This month is an invitation to get creative about how you express yourself, Capricorn. There’s an opportunity to tap into your inner child. You can be all work and no play at times, but this will help you make stronger connections—not just with yourself, but also with the people who play a significant role in your life. Along the way, you could even make new discoveries about your limitations and what you need to adjust in order to have the happiness that you deserve.
Expect changes to your home life and foundations this month. This will require some restructuring, Aquarius. Try not to let anything keep you from feeling happy and accomplished. There’s a lot of room to gain a new perspective and find excitement in tackling projects. Take time to yourself when needed, rest when necessary, and allow yourself to connect with others to help solve any problems that may arise.
This month is all about you taking a look at your daily life and seeing if there are any habits you need to revise, Pisces. This could require having important conversations about the aspects of your life that are holding you back from the future you want. This will strengthen the relationships you hold close to your heart. Listen to your gut, but also pay attention to anything that comes to the surface during this time of reflection. Get a clear view of what it all means.
