Welcome to August, Aquarius. This month is philosophical and spiritual, with deepening occurring in your romantic relationships. July brought passion and a desire to invest in the relationships closest to your heart. You're continuing to think about who deserves your valuable time and what relationships you'd like to let go of when loving Venus moves into your transformative 8th House on Sunday, August 4. This date is worth marking down in your calendar. It also brings a new moon, the time for fresh starts, in your 7th House of Partnership. You'll see yourself growing closer with some friends, perhaps realizing that others drag you down rather than lift you up.
Also, on Sunday, August 4, messenger Mercury goes retrograde. This could bring communication mishaps, not to mention exes sliding into your DMs. The stars are busy this day, and Mercury retrograde is always a little dizzying. To avoid feeling overwhelmed by the potential return of ex-lovers from the grave or to avoid getting annoyed with technological mishaps, you might just want to stay offline this day. Even God rested on Sunday.
As the sign associated with the community (and the alien of the zodiac), you're aware of the potential negative ramifications of mainstream religion and things like cultural appropriation within witchcraft communities. However, don't let such human mistakes completely turn you off from your own spiritual side. When Juno, the asteroid of commitment, moves into your divine 9th House on Friday, August 9, you're very intuitive. Not only is this a time for receiving messages in dreams (you might want to start a dream journal), but you may feel called to work with ancestors, tarot cards, or whatever form of spirituality speaks to you.
The sky lights up with a full moon in your sign, Aquarius, on Monday, August 19. Full moons mark times of manifestation, so this date could mean hearing back on news you've been working hard and crossing your fingers for. However, these lunations can also see you feeling on edge and anxious. Take note of this event in your calendar and allow time for rest.
When the sun moves into Virgo, kicking off Virgo season on Thursday, August 22, you may feel called for a makeover, even if it's just a small one. Explore different hair colors (blonde? dark chocolate bouclé?) or refresh your makeup. Prioritize getting enough sleep to avoid burnout. The next few weeks are also going to be pretty sexy. If you're dating or hooking up with someone, prepare for sexcapades. If you're in a long-term relationship or marriage, you may enjoy a resurgence of passion. And if you're single but still looking to get off, go ahead and treat yourself to a sex toy (which, of course, you can use with your partner as well).
If someone you encounter sets off your stranger danger alarm, trust it and get out of their way.
Another psychic moment comes when Ceres, the asteroid of nurturance, ends its retrograde in Capricorn and your heady 12th House on Monday, August 26. Pay attention to your gut around this time. If someone you encounter sets off your stranger danger alarm, trust it and get out of their way.
The following day, Tuesday, August 27, is super blessed. Your ruling planet, eccentric Uranus, trines (a favorable aspect) lush Venus, making it a lovely time for surprise but welcome news, in particular surrounding work or money. And the day after that, Wednesday, August 28, Mercury finally goes direct. Communication eases up, exes go back where they belong, and all-around malaise should be curtailed. Wrapping up the month, on Thursday, August 29, Venus transits your expansive 9th House, encouraging you to tackle a new project. What have you been wanting to do that kept getting pushed off your to-do list? Now is your chance to get it done. Enjoy, and we'll see you in September.
