Hey, Virgo! Congratulations! If you’re reading this, it means you officially survived a brutal Mercury Retrograde and heavy-hitting eclipse season. July wasn’t necessarily easy, but now that you’re on the other side, you can start to catch your breath. But before you are free to start celebrating your birthday, the Sun must continue its cruise through Leo, the sign directly before your own. Whenever the Sun visits this fiery sign, it activates an area in your chart known as the “12th House,” which is the final frontier of the existing cycle. It’s the house we clean before we begin a new journey around the Sun, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself breaking up with a friend, lover, or even boss during this time. But don’t fret: In order to bring new, exciting opportunities into your life, you must let go of whatever isn’t working.
During the next few weeks, take a good, hard look at your current realities. Identify what isn’t working in your life and leave it behind. The Full Moon in Aquarius on August 15 will help you identify blindspots in your daily life, as the mysterious Moon shines a vivid light on any outdated systems. If you’re feeling limited by a toxic relationship, outdated thinking, or a dead-end job, find your strength to step away. Change isn’t always easy, but know that you can trust your intuition. During this lunation, your external experiences are fused with your emotional reflection, so the truth will catapult you forward.
Moving on to the fun stuff, your birthday season comes early this year! Just a few days after the Full Moon in Aquarius, planets will begin moving into your domain: Mars enters Virgo on August 18, Venus joins on August 21, and finally the Sun cruises into your sign on August 23. You’ll be feeling perfectly at ease in your own skin, entering an exciting period defined by confidence, inspiration, and electric momentum. Anything can happen!
Finally, the month concludes with even more Virgo energy. On August 29, Mercury, your planetary ruler, dips into your sign, enabling you to express yourself with ease. Communication is everything to you, and right now, you’re truly finding your voice. The following day, on August 30, the Moon also enters Virgo, creating a powerful New Moon in your sign. Make it count by setting energetically-charged intentions for the year ahead. Consider attending a New Moon ceremony, or simply light a few candles, focus on your thoughts, and write your wishes in a special notebook. You can be magical and practical at the same time!
