Your Key Dates

  • August 15: Embrace your unique perspective

  • August 23: Don’t look back

  • August 30: You’re fully psychic


Although you sign is associated with balance and harmony, you had a tough time navigating the choppy waters of Mercury Retrograde and eclipse season. Nevertheless, you persisted, and you can actually start to enjoy the summer! As the Sun radiates across Leo’s theatrical sky, you are presented with an excellent opportunity to expand your reach. Rev up your social media profile, explore markets outside of your local community, or simply reach out to organizations that support your values. You’re influential, Libra, so make a difference where it counts.

On August 15, a Full Moon in Aquarius (a like-minded air sign), creates a dynamic opposition between solar and lunar energy. With these two dynamic luminaries connected, you’ll be encouraged to fuse your actions with your passions. What feeds your soul, Libra? What makes you feel truly alive? You’re an artist in every sense of the word, so tap into your limitless creativity. Innovation is about acting on vision, so don’t be afraid to go against the grain.

But as you’re expanding your horizons, don’t be surprised if you discover cracks in the system. The second half of August is going to be seriously charged for you, Libra love. The area of your chart known as the “Twelfth House” is activated whenever planets enter Virgo. This is the final stage of the existing cycle, and before your birthday kicks off a new cycle, the 12th House will encourage you to release whatever is no longer working.


Between August 18 and August 23, you will be purging in every area of your life due to Mars, Venus, and the Sun all moving into Virgo. Don’t be surprised if you end up breaking up with your boo, buds, or even your boss during this time. But that’s not all! Mercury enters Virgo on August 29 and the Moon stops by on August 30, creating a powerful New Moon. With five celestial bodies in your 12th House by the end of the month, you will be extremely sensitive. Trust your intuition, and don’t be afraid to make choices based on information that hasn't fully been revealed. I know it may sound trite, but all the answers you seek already exist within you.
