Leo (July 23 – August 22)
You were born with a creative spark; your life purpose is linked to self-expression. If you don't feel the fiery heat of passion for how you shine your light in the world, you end up in melancholy. So, this month, cast aside doubts – you have the celestial approval to take the reins and charge forward! The Leo New Moon on August 16 offers the invitation.
Your urge to shift aspects of your life may bring an unsettling discomfort. If so, let it lead you toward catharsis, helping you pave new routes along your path. So, if frustration, restlessness, or dissatisfaction burn from within, it's your cue to change the narrative. As the Sun and Mars activate Uranus on August 15 and 16, you have the courage to claim a new direction.
As the Sun moves through your sign, it calls you to prioritize fun! Bask in its rays and learn how to relax. With Venus retrograde, what you lack in optimism, you make up for in devotion. We can have a more glass-half-empty mindset when the planet of pleasure moves backward.
We have two Full Moons this month - the Aquarius one on August 1 and the Pisces one on August 30. Full Moons can illuminate solutions to challenges, insights, and emotions. Be wary of drama between the Sun's opposition to Saturn on August 27 and the Full Moon on August 30.
In matters of the heart, you could feel more self-reflective period, especially after Mercury stations retrograde on August 23. Personal realizations could have a profound influence on your relationships. Keep things lively in your love life by adopting a lighthearted approach and infusing as much fun as possible.
