Virgo (August 23 – September 22):
Because we are in a world of binaries, many of us learn to evolve and grow through contrast. When overcome with stagnation or discontent, we seek flow and peace. Difficult times allow us to catalyze change. This month's astrology lets you stew in that polarity until you choose; you can dedicate yourself to happiness. As Mercury stations retrograde on August 23, it calls you to rest and reflect on these themes.
We have a Full Moon in Aquarius on August 1 and another Full Moon in Pisces on August 30. With this lunar activity, your emotions could be more extreme. Commit to a spiritual practice that connects you to nature and prioritize community-building after August 23.
As Mercury weaves through your sign for most of the month, your words have power. Channel your energy into marketing, writing, promotion, or networking for your business. You could hear of professional opportunities from past associates. So reach out, schedule coffee chats, and evaluate options.
The Sun enters your sign on August 23, reminding you of the importance of unconditional self-love. Let your inner editor have time off as we celebrate Virgo season, especially on August 27, when the Sun opposes Saturn, the planet of rules and guidelines.
Venus is retrograde for the whole month, helping you re-establish contact with people from the past. Love can spark a spiritual awakening, even if you fear committing to relationships. We are all learning lessons in trust; yours are about trusting your gut. Think of the times you've ignored it. Did you have stomach aches or headaches? Those physical sensations can signal that it's time to reinforce your boundaries.
