Astro Overview for August

We are heading towards a summer month which brings our work to fruition, offering time for holidays and moments of celebration. Under the demonstrative and warm energy of Leo, we remember that each of us is special in its own way. In addition, the planets in Aquarius teach us to relate with fair-play on a large scale and consider the collective circumstances, while the Virgo-Pisces opposition requires high professionalism, modesty and empathy.

Thus, throughout this month we maintain the meticulous and accurate attitude of Virgo, even if the transits through Leo will not allow us to become extremely serious. What does happiness mean to us and what makes us feel authentic? – these questions will guide us especially during the first three weeks of August. Gradually, Libra begins to participate in the astral equation of the present, turning our attention to relationships, collaboration, conflict mediation and searching for tranquility. Let's follow the sequence of August’s main cosmic events!

Sun and Mercury (Leo) opposing Saturn (Aquarius): authority and thoroughness

During the first days of the month, the Sun and Mercury meet in Leo, forming a close opposition to Saturn. Together, these three planets speak about confronting our mental barriers.

AstroFidelia recommends that we pay extra attention to our true desires: what do we really want and how achievable are those intentions? The small disappointments in relationships remind us that our partners sometimes make mistakes just like us and that we all have our own shortcomings.

Mercury (Leo) opposing Jupiter (Aquarius): grandiose thoughts

Around August 11, we need to work on prioritizing ideas and words. On the one hand, we have a lot of information to analyze and communicate; on the other hand, we must synthesize it and not get lost in insignificant details. Logic merges with intuition. We can misjudge if we don't take things seriously, assuming we're going to get away with situations that require deeper understanding. If we trust our intelligence and stay on the side of the truth, we will inspire others with our magnificent ideas.
