Your Key Dates

  • August 15: Realize how much your relationships matter

  • August 23: Stop acting on your bad habits

  • August 30: Host a New Moon ceremony


Your poker face is strong, but cosmic hiccups have been making you twitch recently. Mercury Retrograde is always harsh and this past eclipse season really took it over the edge. Thankfully, the worst is over, and you can resume your calm, cool, and collected status quo.

You’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about your relationships lately. As a fiercely independent person, you don’t want your identify to be defined by a partnership, but you also care deeply about your closest companions. Right now, you’re realizing that you deserve honest, authentic relationships. A serious commitment is on the horizon.

The Full Moon in your sign on August 15 will provide you with an invaluable opportunity to establish this framework. Relationships are front and center under this electric sky, It may feel a bit overwhelming, but don’t let this energy throw you off balance. You are a big-picture thinker, Aquarius love, but whether you’re advocating for humanitarian values or your own emotional needs, you need to anchor yourself in empathy. Don’t wait for others to take action. Be the change you want to see and always lead by example.

Virgo season kicks off on August 23, activating the area of your chart associated with emotional self-discovery. Five planets shift into Virgo by the end of the month, intensifying the effects of this deep dive into your subconscious. As the days become shorter and the climate slowly begins to shift, you’ll focus your gaze inward. What areas of your psyche could use a little fine-tuning? If you’ve found yourself falling into the same old bad habits, this is the time to instate some boundaries.


The New Moon on August 30 will help you draw a line between “then” and “now.” No one can take away your experiences—you lived them! But, at the same time, you’re not defined your past. New Moons are associated with beginnings, so set intentions during this lunation. You’re all about collaboration and community, so consider hosting a New Moon ceremony. Invite your guests to share their accomplishments and fears, and pool your collective energy to generate growth and healing. Under this sky, you’ll feel deeply spiritual. Why not share it with the world?
