The month began with a revolutionary full moon in Aquarius on August 1st, encouraging all zodiac signs to learn the art of healthy emotional detachment. With Venus, the planet of love, and Chiron, the asteroid of inner wounds, both retrograde in the Fire signs of Leo and Aries respectively, this Leo season will be atypical as we’re being asked to learn from our inner wisdom rather than needing to be outwardly flamboyant.

Mercury and Mars are both in Virgo this month, helping infuse the cosmos with much-needed grounded energy. The more time we spend in nature and away from distractions, the more aligned we’ll feel with ourselves and our missions on Earth.

Once the Leo new moon strikes on the 16th, we’re being given a fresh start when it comes to expressing our creative interests and exploring entrepreneurial passions.

Get clear on how you’d like the next six months of your life to feel and then use the start of Virgo Season on August 23rd to map out a game plan for turning those intentions into tangible truths. By the Pisces full moon on the 30th, some of them may already have come true.
