The hits just keep on comin’! And when I say hits, I mean holy-sh*t-2020-is-no-joke. Some good news? August is definitely one of the easiest months of the year. Hooray! The bad news, however, is that it’s still 2020—so “easy” is a relative term. But one thing’s for sure: On August 3—during the Full Moon in Aquarius—everything you’ve been having a hard time understanding is going to start making perfect sense. Secret will be revealed, intentions will be clarified, and emotions will finally be communicated clearly and articulately. The reason, of course, is because Full Moons shine light on everything: The good, the bad, and the ugly. Under this lunation, you’ll be able to identify exactly what’s going on, which means you’re bound to see something you don’t like. But you know what? That’s totes fine. As soon as you know what’s getting you down, you can start to make some proactive change—Capricorn style!

With that information now readily available, you’ll be prepared for the next lunation: The New Moon in Leo on August 18. This powerful New Moon is a time for manifestation, so be sure to grab a pen and paper and start jotting down your intentions. There will be no nocturnal illumination, so during this lunation, you’ll rely solely on starlight and intuition to explore the nooks and crannies of your psyche, asking yourself tough questions about your tangible experiences, as well as your emotional truths. You may have thought you knew what you wanted but, now that you’re inching closer, you’re realizing that your goals have shifted. You’re having a full on butterfly moment, Capricorn babe—so break from your cocoon and embrace your metamorphosis!

I’m thrilled to report, however, that August won’t be all about personal evolution. There’s also time for fun! On August 22, the Sun drifts into Virgo (a like-minded earth sign) and, tbh, it will feel like a breath of fresh air. You’ve been handling everything with such elegant poise, but there’s no doubt that shit’s been heavy. You’re exhausted! But now that you can trust the cosmos are aligned with your individual values (stability, security, practicality, etc.), you can begin to relax. What would happen if you just took a tiny bit off your plate, Capricorn? Perhaps you can delegate some responsibilities? Maybe say “no” to a few projects? Could you, potentially…just going out on a limb here…take a day off from work? I know! It’s wild! But it’s okay to live a little, Capricorn! Trust that the world will not crumble if you choose to sleep in an extra hour or two: You deserve a break and now that the radiant star has your back, enjoy the fine art of Netflix and chill!
