Happy New Moon in Leo! August ushers in an energy that allows us the insight and clarity to make necessary and practical changes in our lives. There's an emphasis on slowing down and re-evaluating what's working in our lives; but also, a high voltage, tense, motivating energy to actually improve or change what's not - based on our beliefs and visions that we had back in late 2020. Alot of the focus will personally occur for you in the area of your life where the mutable energies of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini and Sagittarius lie (Don't know? You can always reach out to me for a reading, and I can give you the scoop.) The highlights of August consist of a dynamic new moon in Leo, practical Mercury Retrograde, a series of Virgo transits activating high voltage Uranian energy, and the clash of two big giants (Jupiter and Saturn) in the sky. Virgo is all about improving and purifying things - it's about changing things up and making them better and this can be applied to anything from an idea, job or project to our own health and wellness. Check out the rest of the month below to get the FULL BREAKDOWN of ALL the upcoming transits and how the rest of August will play out, both collectively and personally for you.
August 4th - New Moon in Leo with Venus squaring Uranus - Life becomes dull when it’s “all work and no play, “says Leo! So, on this new moon, set the intention to Find Your Joy…yes literally embrace the opportunity and GO FIND IT! Do what you love, be who you want to be, dance like no one is watching says this new moon in Leo.
August 5th - Mercury Retrograde - Mercury will make his 2nd retrograde of the year from Virgo back into Leo until the 28th. If you have any planets or angles between 21 degrees Leo and 4 degrees Virgo this Mercury retrograde will speak directly to you and allow you increased energy around problem-solving, productivity and organizing. For everyone else, common mercury retrograde cautions apply such as: making sure to back up computer files, allow extra time for commuting and travel, and keep conversations with people as clear as possible to avoid any miscommunications.
August 14th - Mars conjunct Jupiter in Gemini - Gemini is information plain and simple. Mars heats things up and Jupiter expands or exacerbates. Quite literally this can translate into "information overload." Given the political season we are in, there will be a bombardment of information coming at us and this can really stir up our nervous system. It's extremely important during this time that we use discernment in what information is being shared with us and how it affects (either positively or negatively) our nervous system. Clear your energy every day and always ask yourself "Is this Truth?" Saturn in Pisces creating tension on Mars and Jupiter is creating an opportunity for us to use discernment in what is truth and what isn't.
August 19th - Full Moon in Aquarius while Jupiter squares Saturn - Mark August 19th on your Calander as this is a highlight point of the August energy. This full moon is infused with even more Uranian energy as well as tense crossroads as to whether to stick with the "tried and true" or make a break for what inspires you and honors your current beliefs about yourself. At the end of the day, get ready for a strong desire to break free of something old and outdated and start doing things YOUR way! Aquarius is all about being unique and flying your "freak flag" proudly, so release whatever isn't making your soul sing and re-write your life story based on what's true for you!
August 22nd - Sun enters Virgo bringing us Virgo Season - Happy Birthday to all the Virgo's out there! Virgo is a great time to focus on your health and wellness. Mercury is still retrograde, but now in Leo, so on the tails of the full moon in Aquarius, consider releasing any bad habits or outdated wellness/diet mindsets that haven't been improving your life or making you feel confident and amazing...doing a detox would be great during this time.
August 28th - Mercury goes direct! The planet of our thought processes and communication is moving forward once again sharing from the heart loudly and proudly!
August 29th - Venus enters Libra and trines Pluto - The month ends on a high note as Venus, the planet of love, relationships and money enters her home sign of Libra and has a passionate, mesmerizing conversation with Pluto. This is the perfect time to focus on relationships and romance. It's a great time to socialize, meet new people, and experience intense romantic connections. You may also find the urge to re-beautify your space so do some redecorating, painting, or update your wardrobe.
Those are all the major alignments for August - see you next month!
