Leo energy is linked to theatricality, performance, and public displays of pizazz. After all, Leo season occurs in the middle of summer and this zodiac sign is governed by the vivid sun. Interestingly, however, this season casts a bit of a shadow on your chart. It’s not that things haven’t been dramatic — they’ve just been super intense. Since July 22, the sun has been moving across the area of your chart linked to death, sex, and transformation. Known by astrologers as the Eighth House, this elusive celestial zone is where we dive into the dark crevices of our psyche. In the Eighth House, we realize that everything has a consequence and we begin to connect the dots of our past, present, and future experiences.
If this is all sounding extremely spooky, don’t fear. You’ve actually been dealing with Eighth House themes for the past two years, so the sun’s cruise through this sector is nothing new. Starting in August 2016, the Leo-Aquarius eclipses have been electrifying this region, encouraging you to both build and destroy. This story continues on Saturday, August 11, when a solar eclipse in Leo inspires a radical shift. You’re ready to accomplish great things, Capricorn, but what do you need to leave behind in order to reach your fullest potential? Remember, construction and destruction are ultimately two sides of the same coin: In nature, the rotting leaf provides the nutrients for a new bud to bloom. Let this cycle be a model for your universe, as well.
Sensual Venus enters Libra on Monday, August 6, electrifying the top sector of your chart linked to your public image, professional aspirations, and long-term legacy. Sound familiar? This is your domain, Capricorn babe, so Venus’s movement across this sector will feel like a cosmic homecoming. We often associated Venus with romance, but let’s not forget that Venus also governs money and material possessions. Now, with this affluent planet in your career zone, you can look forward to some well-deserved financial rewards. Stack ‘em up, Capricorn — the next few weeks are all about the Benjamins.
The truth is, however, that you may not see the effects of Venus’s motion in your professional sector until a bit later in August. Mercury (the planet of communication) is retrograde until Sunday, August 19, fueling unnecessary miscommunications and technology meltdowns. But perhaps even more importantly, Mars has been cruising backward since June 26. Although Mars began moonwalking in Aquarius, it’s shuffled so far back over the past two months that it’s actually re-entered your sign. That’s right, love — Mars is back in Capricorn, so if you’ve been feeling some major slowdowns, this cosmic inversion is definitely to blame. Fortunately, Mars is back in business on Monday, August 27, just in time for a new celestial cycle.
Virgo season kicks off on Thursday, August 23, shifting the sun out of your Eighth House and into your Ninth House, the house of travel, philosophy, and higher education. Everything you’ve learned over the last few weeks will serve you now, as you expand your horizon through exciting new perspectives.
Some juicy gossip may be revealed on Sunday, August 26, when a full moon in Pisces shines its nocturnal flashlight on hidden information. But be careful: People really trust you, so don’t ruin your reputation by sharing someone else’s secrets. If you need to communicate something important, try using nonverbal signals, like batting your eyes with Buxom Lash Volumizing Mascara. This clump-free formula serves up serious lashes that will be sure to help you express whatever you desire.
