Libra (September 22 – October 22)
We need a Venus retrograde support group, my fellow Libras! This planetary phenomenon can coincide with relationship mishaps, disappointing dates, or confusion about the past. So, it's important to remember retrogrades are optical illusions. The situations that pluck our heartstrings or lead us into a daze will likely fizzle after September 3. The mind-blowing, heart-expanding growth will remain.
Two Full Moons bookmark the month. The Aquarius Full Moon on August 1 illuminates your social networks, casting you as a confidant amongst your friends. Your social engagements may feel obligatory, but you'll likely feel enriched by the feeling of contributing. Don't overcommit yourself or exhaust your energy reserves. You'll need them for the Leo New Moon on August 16, one of the more exciting lunations of the year, thanks to Uranus. The Pisces Full Moon on August 30 pulls you inward for pre-birthday introspection.
Mercury goes retrograde on August 23, making the end of the month a great time to finish projects, declutter, or take some time away. This retrograde cycle reveals your mystical side, and your dreams could be more vivid and full of meaningful symbols.
Between August 13-16, infuse your romantic life with lighthearted fun. Are you struggling with the aftermath of a complicated relationship? Allow yourself to grieve, process the hurt, and step into the future with a sense of faith. If you're caught in a loop of questioning your current relationship, stop seeking immediate answers. Instead, examine what aspects of your relationship you can heal. As a Libra, your ability to compromise is like no other. However, when Mars, the planet of individuation, enters your sign on August 27, you feel more resolved in your decisions and more confident in general. Know your no.
