Juno, the asteroid of commitment, moves into relationship-oriented Libra on Friday, August 9. This is a romantic transit that sees the deepening of relationships: People find their new best friends in acquaintances; casual romances evolve into something deeper. Just make sure to practice patience as to best nurture these evolving partnerships. On Wednesday, August 14, Mercury retrograde moves into Leo, and as a result, potentially leads to people showing up late to dates, missing text messages, or saying the wrong thing. Try not to take it personally and to give people the benefit of the doubt.
This feels true for any day these days, but the full moon in Aquarius on Monday, August 19, could be intense politically. Full moons are always a bit high-stress, so it’s a great day for logging off and taking it easy. When the sun moves into healing Virgo on Thursday, August 22, self-care is the name of the game. Virgos have a reputation for being busy perfectionists, but it’s so much easier to get things done when you’re rested. Rather than overload your to-do lists, ensure that they’re actually manageable—and include wellness rituals.
Astrologically significant asteroids are busy toward the end of the month. First, Vesta, the asteroid of spirituality, also moves into caring Virgo, encouraging you to connect with your divine self, whether that’s through working with ancestors, tarot cards, or even putting on a fancy hat and going to church. Then, on Monday, August 26, Ceres, the asteroid of nurturance, ends its retrograde and goes direct in Capricorn. Capricorn doesn’t like to mess around, so take this transit as a call to fully work with your spiritual side, whatever that means for you.
And breathe a sigh of relief. Mercury retrograde ends on Wednesday, August 28. Phew! Travel goes more smoothly, exes go back where they belong, and communication becomes easier. Then, the month winds down with pretty Venus moving into its home sign of relationship-oriented Libra on Thursday, August 29, blessing all relationships with love from the planet of love. The end of August sees the forward momentum you’ve been hoping for all month truly occurring. Enjoy, and we’ll see you in September.
