Social Butterfly?

Libra, your social calendar is off the chain as we start the month with the sun in your 11th house of friends, groups, hopes & wishes. As an air sign, this should be music to your ears, but you’ll have to balance (don’t you love this word) being social with spending time alone, resting and recuperating. As we approach the fall season in the northern hemisphere, you should have a goal to make as many connections as you can, so you can increase your social capital.?

Around the new moon in Leo on August 4, you should dream about something you want to bring into fruition in your life. The same day of the new moon, your ruler Venus moves into your sign, joining Mercury, in your 12th house of the subconscious. Dreams are one of the things connected to the 12th house and you should pay attention to them this month. Your innermost desires can be revealed through this personal form of divination and provide great insight into how you should act in your waking life. Mars and Jupiter are in your 9th house of spirituality, and make a positive aspect to the new moon. This can be a time for spiritual cleansing.?

When Mercury goes retrograde in this house on August 5, memories from the past may surface and you’ll need to face them head on. The south node is still transiting your 1st house of self, which is about release. All endings are an opportunity for a new beginning so trust the process of what your mind and soul are going through right now.?

This time of year is especially auspicious due to the 8/8 Lion’s Gate Portal. The alignment of Earth, Sirius and Orion in the constellation of Leo is an opportunity to focus on your manifestations and watch them unfold. This is especially important because it occurs in the days after the new moon, giving every sign an extra blessing from the universe to make your dreams come true.?

August 19 is the most pivotal point of the month with the Aquarius full moon occurring in your 5th house of children, romance and dating. The full moon coincides with two T-Squares involving Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus and the sun, moon and Uranus. There may be important news pertaining to your children if you have them or a development in your love life. Pay attention to the information you receive around this date and the weeks after.?

The sun joins Venus in your 12th house of undoing on August 22nd, signaling the start of Virgo season. Every year when the sun enters Virgo, you have the opportunity to go slightly dormant. It’s important to take this time for yourself, especially after a busy Leo season. The 12th house is also linked to escape, both physically and mentally and you’ll likely have an urge to getaway around this time with Mars & Jupiter in your house linked to travel. If you do take a trip, Mercury-retrograde-proof your travel plans as things may be bumpy this month.
