The energy for August is a mix of tension, clarity and charm. Here are the key transits to be aware of – and how to move through them – so you can work with the current, not against it.
August 8: Mars in Libra Opposes Saturn in Aries
Tension simmers under the surface as Mars in Libra opposes Saturn in Aries. Neither planet is in its element here, but both want to maintain the illusion of strength. Mars struggles with indecision in Libra, while Saturn’s discipline feels unsteady in fiery Aries. The friction of this transit will ease up in a few days. Progress here will be made through patience, not pressure.
August 11: Mercury Goes Direct
Finally, Mercury stations direct in Leo. Miscommunications, stalled plans, and tech glitches begin to clear. Ideas flow more freely now and projects move forward with new momentum.
August 12: Venus Conjunct Jupiter
Sweet, expansive, and heart-centered—Venus and Jupiter align in Cancer, amplifying themes of emotional connection, warmth, and abundance. This is one of the most fertile, generous aspects of the month. Nourish what you love, and let it return that love back to you tenfold.
August 23: New Moon in Virgo
This Virgo new moon helps to clear the clutter—physically, mentally, and spiritually. Set intentions that bring structure and healthy habits into your daily routines. Break your goals or desired changes down into small steps. It’s about refinement, not perfection.
August 25: Venus Enters Leo
Venus struts into Leo, turning up the heat on romance, self-expression, and artistic allure. She’s radiant here—bold, generous, and unapologetically vibrant. It’s the perfect time celebrate yourself, flirt with life, and wear your natural charisma like a crown.
Be sure to stay tuned! I’ll have the August breakdown for each zodiac sign up very soon!
