You might also be in the midst of drafting a brainchild that is near and dear to your heart—maybe writing a novella, or launching a podcastIt could be creating content you are proud to put out into the world, or bringing in content that makes you feel good. You may be feeling some stress if you’re working on a major project.

On August 23, the new moon in Virgo kicks off a new creativity process for you—one that will ask you to show up with a radically different form of self-expression and bury the remaining dregs of shyness and humility that have kept you playing small. At the end of the day, this is about you cultivating the confidence to really go there and own what you’re all about—to, as they say, dance like no one’s watching.
Gemini Rising
There is always another way to get where you want to go. Perhaps your GPS system needs some time to recalculate its preferred route. Mercury is now direct, and a signal which was scrambled in the last month will become clear as you travel through its retrograde. Maybe you’ve been reworking some material that you weren’t happy with initially—writing that needed a second pass, audio that needed to be rerecorded, ideas you nearly forgot about that were ready to be resurrected—or maybe you’ve been quite literally on a trip down memory lane, revisiting old haunts, conversations, and friendships that popped back into your life over the last couple weeks. It’s possible to turn the old into something new, and even a detour could become a new plan. It’s understandable that, with so many new things to discover and options to consider to think about, you might have taken a moment to reflect and rethink. Be sure that you will arrive on time.
Mars, Saturn Venus and Jupiter are all forming some difficult aspects in August. In the days before August 12, you may find yourself acquiring money or other treasures (maybe it’s a sign to go to that estate sale?) The tension between artist and peanut gallery is also noticeable. Even if the material you are remixing doesn’t meet with much approval, what matters most is that you create something that is authentic and alive for you. The integrity of your own self-expression may be the most profitable thing for you. You may have to deal with tantrums and other behavior from children, especially between August 6-8, when Mars and Saturn will be in opposition.
The full moon of Aquarius on August 9 will bring this conflict into even greater relief. This lunation falls in your ninth home of philosophy, politics and knowledge. It’s a good time to examine your values and clarify where you stand. You might also learn that a certain door has been closed for you. This could be a trip you had planned or an opportunity you had hoped to pursue. educational program you were considering. Mercury Retrograde is a strange phenomenon, so it’s not surprising if you have travel problems or need to change directions. The month’s mandate is to do what you love and be flexible.
Cancer Rising
You’re taking your motivational cues this month from the flowers that are growing through the cracks in the concrete. As an oyster, you form pearls from the sand particles that find their way inside your shell. A diva who thrives under pressure. Venus and Jupiter form a conjunction in Cancer, on August 12. This will bring a lot more sweetness to your life but also a great deal of strain. Mars and Saturn will be in opposition on August 8, creating a T-square that is tense with Venus and Jupiter. This creates the difficulties. It’s like throwing a party. wedding If you have a family member who doesn’t support the union or if your personal life gets a little out of control while you are on stage receiving your Oscar, it can be a real problem. You don’t have to let anyone or anything stop you from receiving the flowers that you deserve.
