  • August 15: Be the leader you know you can be

  • August 23: Establish your money moves

  • August 30: It’s payback time (literally)


You’re always shining Leo, but right now, the cosmos are *REALLY* working in your favor. Mercury Retrograde is over, eclipse season is behind us, and you can officially celebrate your birthday month without any stress! As the Sun, your planetary ruler, moves across the Leo sky, you’re feeling confident and inspired. This is the perfect time to lean into your natural leadership capabilities. Whether you’re hosting a fabulous party, stepping into a new position at the office, or simply rallying the troops for some bottomless mimosas, your charm is on one hundred. Keep glowing, and love interests might even take notice.

On Saturday, August 15, during the Full Moon in Aquarius, your sensitivities will be front and center. Give yourself plenty of space to emote. Things have been transforming right before your eyes, and while it may be painful to watch, know that you’re on the right path. Know that you are courageous, resilient, and strong.

Alas, Leo darling, nothing lasts forever. On August 23, your birthday season ends when the Sun waltzes into Virgo. This planetary movement activates the financial sector in your chart, encouraging you to keep a close eye on your bank account. It’s time to evaluate your monetary flows and set meaningful goals for the year ahead. Whether you’re trying to pay off your debt, move into your dream home, or buy an expensive-ass bag, this is an excellent time to turn those dreams into a reality.

Careful though, Leo! You’re not always good at setting boundaries, but on August 30, during the New Moon in Virgo, you’ll need to fortify them. Five celestial bodies will be occupying this practical earth sign by the end of the month, which will make your money moves feel super intense. Your besties may be asking to borrow some cash, or they’ll be asking you to pay your Venmo balance. Make sure you keep track of what belongs to you vs. what actually belongs to others. You decide how you get to spend your hard-earned money.
