The motto is: let things happen!
It's August, so we're fully into the Leo season! It gets off to a wonderful start, with the occasional stormy spell, but after every storm comes another great opportunity.
The month begins with a calming and playful New Moon in Leo, followed by an invigorating Full Moon in Aquarius, which can bring surprising changes and fresh impulses. These energies ask us to be patient and wait for developments.
A strong T-square configuration involving Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Venus will create tension but also provide the impetus for important action. Although progress could be slow due to Mercury retrograde, the universe is guiding us to gain clarity and take a stand.
August invites us to use the high-energy weeks to recharge our batteries and enjoy the playful Leo energy. As the Sun enters Virgo, our focus is turned towards wellbeing and establishing healthy rituals that support our mind, body and soul.
Prepare for a powerful month that will leave us inspired and empowered.
August 3-5, 2024 - Leo New Moon
The Leo New Moon begins a new lunar cycle, giving you the opportunity to plant new seeds and welcome new beginnings. New moons draw energy to you, so this is a powerful time to reflect on what you want to keep close to you. This new moon brings with it a soft and gentle energy that invites you to play and gives you space for creativity and a zest for life.
During this time, you may feel inspired to start new projects or set personal goals. Use this powerful energy to manifest your wishes and dreams. But be aware that there is also an energy that invites you to withdraw and recharge your spiritual batteries.
Allow yourself moments of rest and reflection during this phase. Allow yourself to look within and recognize what you really need to feel fulfilled and happy. Use the Leo New Moon to find a balance between activity and relaxation and realign your inner compass.
This New Moon is an opportunity to rediscover and celebrate yourself. Let the playful Leo energy guide you and find out how you can let your inner light shine even brighter. With open arms, you can welcome the changes this New Moon brings and prepare for a fulfilling and inspiring new lunar cycle.
August 5 to 29, 2024: Mercury retrograde - "True clarity lies in the depths of the self!"
On August 5, Mercury turns retrograde in Virgo and remains in this phase for most of the month. This time invites you to delve deeper into your subconscious and recognize blocked thought patterns. As this retrograde begins in Mercury's ruling sign of Virgo, it can have a particularly intense effect.
You could find yourself rethinking things over and over again or being particularly critical and hard on yourself and others. Feelings of shame may arise, or you may be desperate to find the 'perfect' solution. It's important to realize that the perfect answer is often an illusion.
This phase offers you the opportunity to gain clarity and clarify misunderstandings. Be patient with yourself and use the energy of Virgo to bring order to your thoughts and emotions. Accept imperfection and find your strength in it. Mercury retrograde in Virgo challenges you to find growth in the midst of challenges and build a deeper connection to your inner self.
August 17 to 19, 2024 - Full Moon in Aquarius - "Letting go liberates!"
This full moon brings with it an energy that could set your life in motion and change it. You may feel like things are in flux, or surprising, unexpected information comes to light that you don't know what to do with. While this Full Moon can cause some confusion, it also carries the energy of awakening. When things change and the unexpected comes your way, your mind expands, your heart can open and you can begin to see new possibilities.
Try to keep this in mind as you navigate the energies of the full moon. Remind yourself that your mind and your world are expanding to open up new possibilities, even if it feels uncomfortable. Embrace the uncertainty! Use this time to grow and discover new perspectives.
The full moon gives you the chance to transform your life and break new ground.
August 23 to September 23, 2022 - "Happy birthday, dear virgos!"
We are ready to make things happen. Sometimes we are crystal clear about what we want, but we don't know exactly what we need to do to turn our idea into reality. And that's exactly what we have Virgo for. Virgo will carefully break down our plans into manageable tasks and show us step by step what we should do.
We have a month ahead of us that we should make the most of!
