With the Sun passing through your 5th house, of hobbies and creativity, a month of excitement, leisure and happiness awaits you, but also a lot of motivation and productivity - that work-life balance that doesn't always fall into our laps. Take advantage of the Full Moon in Aquarius, the sign of optimism, and the fact that your planet, Mars, is in a happy moment with Jupiter, bringing you luck and hope for what you most desire. Make sure you have everything organized by August 23rd, as with the beginning of Mercury Retrograde it may seem more difficult to stick to or start new routines.

You hardly even have to worry about having your planet, Venus, in retrograde motion, as Leo's energy is fueling your social life with full force. The Full Moon shines in your 5th house, so anything that involves embracing your creativity and authenticity is welcome. The Virgo season is approaching more calmly, with the sun in your 12th house activating your more introspective side. Resting, relaxing, spending time with yourself is all you need after a hyper social end of summer. But it is also true that Mars enters your sign on August 27th, igniting your ambition and power of initiative, all under another Full Moon. Perfect for improving work routines and finding balance with your personal life.

The month begins with the Full Moon shining brightly in the 2nd house, of finance and the material world. It is ideal for reflecting on what is important to you in this field and, who knows, renewing strategies. The New Moon, in mid-August, falls on the intimate 8th house, inviting you to rethink your personal limits and how aligned they are with your most authentic desires. This emotional “weight” will be relieved at the beginning of Virgo season, providing Capricorns with inspiration and freshness.

Start the month with a Full Moon in your sign, asking you to let yourself shine, without hesitation due to other people's expectations of you. The movements of Venus, the planet of romance, align with that of its planet, Uranus, and may bring some new aspects to the values of the emotional world. You can and should take advantage of the New Moon in Leo to reflect on this topic and potentially be inspired by a new perspective on this sector of your life. On the 28th, your planet, Uranus, begins its retrograde movement, the right phase to process the turns of life in recent times.

Start the month with a Full Moon ritual, which makes you escape from work and everyday life. Leo season puts the focus on your productivity, but Venus retrograde could raise questions about how and what you are investing valuable time and energy into. The New Moon on the 16th promises to give you clarity to draw your conclusions. With the arrival of the Sun in Virgo, the focus will be (even more) on your relationships, but Mercury Retrograde could destabilize the situation. Remember to control your sensitivity and try not to take everything so personally. The end of the month, with the Full Moon in your sign, is the perfect ending - no one has more power than you to lead your life and it's good that everyone (including yourself) is very clear about that!
