You’ve been getting a little…weird. And no, it has nothing to do with your unusual collection of vintage salt-and-pepper shakers…you’ve been saying words like “commitment” and “accountability” and “us.” Simply put, Aquarius, Leo season has made you absolutely obsessed with the concept of a relationship! This isn’t your norm: As a wildly independent person, you resent the idea of being defined in relation to another unique sole. But things are starting to change and, on August 3, a Full Moon in your sign is going to confirm what you’ve been starting to suspect: You’re ready to 'ship.

In fact, this lunation will offer an incredible opportunity to establish the framework for partnership. With the Moon in your sign (representing your emotions) connected to the Sun in your opposite sign (symbolizing your externalities), you’re exploring new ways you can merge your autonomy with your role within a unit. Obvs you would never compromise your individuality, but maybe—just maybe—a close companion can actually teach you invaluable lessons you wouldn’t know otherwise? Remember: Bonds can be a portal into both the micro and macro spheres. This is an opportunity to dive deeper!

The journey continues on August 18, when a New Moon in Leo helps you seal the deal. You’re a big-picture thinker, so think about it this way: Whether you’re championing the revolution or having a private conversation about the concept of “intimacy,” you’re anchored in empathy. Under this sky, you’ll be making huge discoveries, so don’t be afraid to set intentions and perform a little spellwork that can help you get where you need to go. The Moon will be invisible, which means it’s the perfect opportunity to connect with your true light source: Your intuition!

Finally, the month concludes with the Sun drifting into Virgo on August 22, which will spark the area of your chart associated with powerful transformation. This will emphasize the impact of some of the work you’ll be doing earlier in the month—namely, considering how your choice affect others. Whether we like it or not, actions have consequences; nothing occurs in a silo. As the days begin to become shorter and the weather begins to change ever-so-slightly, you’ll feel compelled to shift your perspective. So even if you start to feel a little broken, trust that’s just part of being whole. You’re a complex creature, Aquarius love! Treat yourself with compassionate curiosity—at the end of the day, you’re just a beautiful piece of art!
