While August is a cozy month, that doesn’t mean that you’re going to be alone. On Monday, August 19, there’s a bright Aquarius full moon in your 7th House of Partnership, turning your attention to your relationships. Full moons are times of culmination and resolution, even if it can be a bit taxing and intense. Expect to resolve ongoing fights or finally start one because you’ve been biting your tongue regarding something that’s bothering you. If you’re dating or hooking up with someone, this full moon could also see ultra-hot and passionate sex. Or, skip the whole other people thing altogether and spend time with a sex toy.
As forewarned, the sun leaves your sign and enters Virgo, kicking off Virgo season on Thursday, August 22. Just because your birthday season is over doesn’t mean you have to stop celebrating. With the sun in your 2nd House, work opportunities, chances to increase your revenue, and powerful creative bursts arise. This part of your chart also rules emotions, as we possess those, too. When Ceres, the asteroid of nurturance, ends its retrograde and goes direct in your healing 6th House, you’re called to use creative expression to work through anxiety. If you’re having trouble sleeping or unwinding, consider journaling or whatever form of self-expression feels right to you to get your worries out.
Mercury retrograde ends while in your sign, Leo, on Wednesday, August 28. When this occurs, deals and negotiations, especially in regard to creative projects, begin to come through. It helps that the next day, on Thursday, August 29, harmonious Venus moves into your 3rd House of Communication. Of course, you can enjoy your creative skills just for yourself and as a way to unwind, but this transit is a gentle reminder that if you want, you have the ability to monetize it and deserve to be paid for your time. Don’t forget how talented you are, and we’ll see you in September.
