While being extra forgiving if someone shows up late, as Mercury retrograde comes for all of us, practice stress relief by spending time with friends during the Aquarius full moon on Monday, August 19. Full moons can be tumultuous times, so you may want to opt for low-key hangs over ragers and avoid overconsumption. However, Aquarius is all about community, so you don’t need to ride out this lunation alone.
The sun leaves cat-nap-loving Leo and moves into practical Virgo on Thursday, August 22. For the next few weeks, the sun is in your 6th House, suggesting that self-care and indulging in beauty routines remain a priority. Vesta, the asteroid of spirituality, in particular, sacred sexuality, also moves into your 6th House on Saturday, August 24. This indicates that hook-ups may feel more intense, so beware of catching feelings. If you feel turned on but have no interest in dating, consider treating yourself to a sex toy.
While you may be making epic strides in your career, whether you’re a stay-at-home parent or part of the C-suite, you get another cosmic nudge to use the personal investment of self-care when Ceres, the asteroid of nurturance, goes direct in your formidable 10th House of Social Status on Monday, August 26, reminding you that down time makes you more productive in the long-run. It helps that shortly after, on Wednesday, August 28, Mercury ends its retrograde and goes direct, bringing ease to communications.
And finally, August wraps on a rather romantic note when pretty Venus enters your 7th House of Partnership on Thursday, August 29. Whether you hang out with your romantic partner or best friend, you’ll feel called to celebrate the company of others for the next few weeks. Have fun, Aries, and we’ll see you in August.
