August delivers several significant cosmic alignments, signaling a time of transformation, healing, and growth.
First to keep in mind is that Mercury is retrograde August 10th to September 3rd. Being in Virgo, it’s advisable that you stay grounded and avoid nervous tension. Mercury retrograde is a favorable period for reflection, revisiting old projects, and resolving past conflicts.
Jupiter and Uranus aligning in Taurus from mid-August signifies a major shift in values, finance, and personal beliefs. This alignment can stimulate innovation and revolutionary change, especially in the material world.
Chiron, the “wounded healer,” continues its journey through Aries, focusing on personal healing and the way we assert ourselves. Paired with the North Node also in Aries, there’s a strong emphasis on individuality and following your own path. These energies encourage self-discovery, healing old wounds, and taking courageous steps toward personal growth.
Several other planets make their mark in retrograde this month, including Pluto, Neptune, and Saturn. The overall retrograde energy slow things down and demands a more reflective approach. Delays may be frustrating but also provide opportunities to reconsider and refine plans.
These planetary movements hint at collective shifts, particularly around finance and personal freedom. The presence of Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus fuels new financial technologies that drive radical changes in economic structures.
August 2023 is your time for re-evaluation, healing, that create space for bold new beginnings. The celestial dance invites you to embrace change, heal wounds, and lay the groundwork for a more stable and authentic future.

Aries, as August unfolds, you stand at the threshold of healing and guidance, with both Chiron and the North Node in your sign. This deeply healing transit is not just for you; know that you are destined to be a wayshower for all signs until early 2024.
Your planetary ruler, Mars, is moving rapidly through the precise and meticulous Virgo, leading up to an empowering Mars trine Pluto on August 24th. This alignment is your special chance to organize and implement grounded financial and career decisions. Then,
as Mars enters harmonious Libra on August 27, you can even more fully embrace the balanced energies it brings.

………………………………………………………………………………………
Taurus (April 19 – May 19)
Taurus, prepare to embrace the magic within, for the alignment of both Jupiter and Uranus in your sign heralds a truly special time. From May 16th, 2023 until May 25th, 2024, these powerful planets move together in a 14-year cycle, signaling a unique and potent 12-month phase for you. Think of this time as your moment of ‘the Magician,’ where you can make significant headway in all aspects of life.
Financial opportunities are waiting just around the corner, especially around August 9th, when Mercury trine Jupiter presents a golden chance. But be aware, dear Taurus, as with the mercurial nature of Mercury, you must be quick to think on your feet and prepared to take immediate action. This moment requires your intuition and precision.
Embrace this extraordinary time with a heart full of hope and arms wide open, ready to seize all that is coming your way. The Universe is laying out a path filled with opportunities and blessings. Trust in yourself, your abilities, and the wisdom of the cosmos. Your journey is leading you to incredible places, and your strength and resolve will make them a reality. Shine brightly, Taurus, for your time has come!
……………………………………………………………………………………………..
Gemini (May 20 – June 19)
Gemini, the planets are aligning in a way that requires your careful attention and intuition. With Mercury, your ruling planet, stationing retrograde on August 23rd, and Uranus following suit on August 28th, this period calls for mindfulness. The naturally quick and inquisitive nature of your sign finds grounding in Virgo’s domain, ruling your solar 4th house, and keeping you safe.
This Mercury retrograde cycle, lasting from August 23rd to September 14th, is not a time for doubt, but rather, a time for opportunity. Use this period to remove obstacles or outdated elements that protect the status quo, making way for solid and future-focused plans. With Venus now retrograde in Leo, reviewing contracts and agreements becomes crucial. Focus on what is no longer relevant or current, and heed this cosmic warning not to sign contracts on August 22nd.
Gemini, see this time as a celestial clearing, a chance to renew and rejuvenate your path. The universe is nudging you to declutter your life, both materially and spiritually. Embrace the process with hope and positivity, knowing that these shifts are aligning you with your true path and potential. Trust in the process, and let your intellect and intuition guide you. A bright and promising future awaits, filled with new beginnings and endless possibilities. Stand tall and move forward with confidence, for your time to shine is right around the corner!
……………………………………………………………………………………………
Cancer (June 20 – July 20)
Cancer, the celestial dance this August brings a rare and powerful alignment, with not one but two SuperMoons, culminating in a Blue Moon on August 30th. The first Full Moon on August 1st in Aquarius sets the stage, but it’s the second, a Supermoon Blue Moon in fellow water sign Pisces, that resonates with your intuitive and sensitive nature.
However, dear Cancer, patience must be your guide. Though you are an action-loving cardinal sign, ruled by the Moon, a unique challenge arises with six planets retrograde by month’s end: Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. This cosmic alignment requires pause, a time for reflection rather than immediate action.
Embrace this moment as a planning time. Nurture your dreams, align your intentions, and patiently wait for the right moment to launch your projects. While the retrograde energies may slow your progress, they also provide a valuable opportunity to refine and reevaluate.
Enjoy these fine days of summer, dear Cancer, and trust that the Universe is aligning your path in perfect timing. Your wishes and dreams are not forgotten; they’re merely marinating in the cosmic energies, gaining strength and clarity. Your time will come, and when it does, it will be more beautiful and fulfilling than you ever imagined. Embrace the hope and joy within, for your future is luminous and filled with endless possibilities. Shine on, beautiful Cancer, your moment is on the horizon!
…………………………………………………………………………………………….
Leo (July 21– August 21)
Dear Leo, as August begins, you may feel a shift in your rhythm, with Venus retrograde in your sign until September 3rd. This planetary alignment may bring about delays and misdirection, but see it not as a hindrance, but a chance to reflect on your inner values. Embrace the energy of Venus by nurturing compassion, love, beauty, and personal growth.
The cosmos is smiling on your career sector, with both Uranus and Jupiter in Taurus, your solar 10th house. This alignment may bring about a sudden and unexpected career opportunity, offering not only personal sustenance but extra income as well. However, Saturn in Pisces serves as a gentle reminder, keeping you grounded and focused on true compassion for those less fortunate.
Leo, surely you believe in magic, and the stars continue to guide you along a path that delivers time and again. But remember the lessons of Venus retrograde; it’s all about heart. Let your actions and decisions be guided by love and empathy.
Embrace this exciting and reflective time with confidence and grace. The Universe is aligning in your favor, and your majestic energy is ready to shine even brighter. Stay true to yourself, honor your heart, and believe in the endless possibilities that await you. Your future is radiant, and your path is filled with joy and fulfillment. Keep believing, Leo, for the best is still to come!
………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Virgo (August 22 – September 21)
Virgo, as your ruling planet, Mercury, stations retrograde in your sign on August 23rd, with Uranus following on the 28th, mindfulness becomes your guiding star. The retrograde cycle in Virgo, along with five other planets in retrograde, emphasizes a need for stability and reflection.
Consider yourself as a point of grounding amidst the celestial dance. Embrace the energy of Pluto in Capricorn, and Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus, your fellow earth signs. By broadening your perspective, your world and personal power will expand. The Universe becomes your focus, allowing you to take a front seat at the movie of life, watching rather than having to be an actor in somebody else’s show.
Embrace this transformative moment, dear Virgo, and find joy in the wisdom and insights it offers. The Universe is aligning in your favor, guiding you to greater understanding and fulfillment. Your future is bright, and your unique path is unfolding with purpose and grace. Trust in the journey, for extraordinary opportunities await you!

Libra, the celestial tides are shifting in your favor as the South Node enters your sign, journeying with you for the next 18 months. Embrace this transit, for it offers profound healing and comfort, setting the stage for transformative growth.
The Universe has a special secret delivery just for you! With Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus activating your 8th solar house, the zone of inheritances, investments, and leveraged income, a magical moment awaits. Favor flows to you in mysterious and powerful ways.
Mars in Libra from August 27th to October 12th brings another celestial visitor to energize you. While this brings strength, remember to maintain your inner equilibrium. Mars comes as a test of your will and wisdom to self. Stay strong and balanced, dear Libra.
Embrace this vibrant time with an open heart and mind. The cosmos is aligning to bring you unexpected blessings and opportunities. Your path is unfolding beautifully, and your future shines with promise and joy. Trust in the journey, dear Libra, for your time of flourishing is here!

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Scorpio, with Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus activating your 7th house of relationships, the doors of collaboration are wide open. Now is the time to complement your self-reliant nature by embracing partnerships of all kinds. Work with others towards shared dreams and surrender to the synergy of united goals.
The double full moons of August create a powerful backdrop, urging you to move past fears and into the warmth and richness of love. Although you are often an ‘all or nothing’ sign, discovering emotional nuance will be your path to success and contentment.
Saturn in fellow water sign Pisces brings grounding wisdom, while the Sun in Leo adds a dynamic and creative flair to your connections. These alignments stir a harmonious blend of energies for you, encouraging growth and connection.
Embrace the month with courage and open-hearted collaboration, Scorpio. The Universe is orchestrating a beautiful dance of relationships for you. Trust in the process and enjoy the unfolding journey. Your path is radiant with possibilities and filled with joy. The future is yours to create, and it shines brightly!
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Sagittarius (November 22– December 20)
Sagittarius, the months leading up to the end of the year mark a critical turning point for you. The call to truly follow your desires has never been stronger. Reflect on the Latin origin of ‘desire’ – waiting to see what the stars will bring. This sentiment resonates with you now.
With both Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus, your solar 6th house of health and service, prioritizing your happiness is essential. Unhappiness is no longer an option, as it may impact your well-being.
Pressure is mounting from Saturn and Neptune in Pisces affecting your home front, and Chiron and the North Node in Aries tempting you with calls to adventure. Despite these challenges, you find an unexpected ally in Pluto in Capricorn. This is your moment of profound evaluation and discovery of your true self-worth.
Embrace this transformative time, Sagittarius. Let the stars guide you towards your true desires and paths of joy. Trust in the cosmic alignment and lean into your authentic self. The universe is conspiring in your favor, revealing a bright and hopeful future filled with endless possibilities.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Capricorn (December 21 – January 18)
Capricorn, August 2023 welcomes you with an incredible planetary earth trine of Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus, Mercury and Pallas Athena in Virgo, and Pluto once again in your sign. As Pluto dances in and out of Aquarius in the upcoming months, remember that it won’t leave Capricorn for good until November 2024.
Your big challenge this month is communication – both receiving accurate information and conveying your wishes clearly. But the solution is simpler than it might seem. The key to winning this month is to loosen up and indulge in some lighthearted fun. Keep things simple and light. Hold steady but allow yourself to slow down and enjoy the nectar of life.
Capricorn, this is your time to practice becoming the master manifester that everyone knows you are. Embrace the joy of the present moment and let the harmonious energy of the earth trine guide you. Trust in the process, and watch how the universe aligns to make your desires a reality.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Aquarius (January 19 – February 17)
Aquarius, August 2023 brings the rarity of two SuperMoons, with the second one being a blue moon on the 30th. The first full moon was in your sign, and the second aligns closely with Saturn in Pisces. This alignment may bring financial pressure, but remember, Saturn, while demanding hard work and sometimes sacrifice, also delivers rewards in the long run.
You’ll also find financial wisdom in Neptune’s presence in Pisces. Neptune may at first seem like a gossamer veil showing only illusions, but dig deeper. The vast waters of Goddess Neptune are home to all the riches of the sea.
Yes, Aquarius, it’s time to mine the depths of your natural talents. Though it may require effort and persistence, it’s in this exploration that you’ll uncover the most rewarding and satisfying treasures of life.
Trust in the cosmic alignment and your inherent gifts. Your journey is not only about seeking financial abundance but also personal fulfillment. The universe is with you, guiding you towards a future filled with wealth in every sense of the word. Embrace the process, and let your unique qualities shine.
………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Pisces (February 18– March 19)
Pisces, August 2023 brings a time of profound insight and understanding for you. The opposition of Mars and Neptune on August 22nd may initially feel like a disappointment or even a manipulation, but it’s truly an opening for clarity that reveals inner motivations. Embrace it as a moment of illumination.
With Mercury retrograde in Virgo affecting your 7th house of partnerships, expect intense clarity regarding the behaviors and intentions of others. Your intuition is stronger than ever now; trust it as it guides you through the complex world of relationships.
Venus retrograde in Leo until September 3rd, along with Mars in Libra, will add layers to this rich period of understanding and emotional growth. Although these transits may bring challenges, they are also opportunities for personal evolution.
Remember, Pisces, that you have the power to turn these celestial influences into tools for self-discovery and personal growth. Stay attuned to your inner wisdom, and let it lead you towards a deeper connection with others and yourself. The universe is revealing its secrets to you; listen closely and with an open heart.
