Routine Matters?

You start the month with the sun in Leo continuing its trek through your 6th house of work, service and daily routine, dear Pisces. You are reorganizing and streamlining. As a mutable, water sign, you have a go-with-the-flow demeanor, but this time of year is always important for getting your ducks in a row so you can move into the looming fall season with a greater sense of preparedness.?

Around the new moon in Leo on August 4, you can commit to implementing a new routine or structure in your life that makes you more efficient. This can be a new workout regimen, meal plan or work schedule. Saturn, our planetary teacher, has been in your sign since 2023, forcing a greater sense of responsibility on you, and now is a good time to implement what you’ve learned so far. It’s also a good time to schedule health checkups.?

The same day of the new moon, amorous Venus moves into your opposite sign, Virgo, joining Mercury, in your 7th house of relationships. Mercury in the house that it rules will have you analyzing the partnerships in your life and if they are adding to or subtracting from your personal growth and development. When Mercury goes retrograde in your 7th house on August 5, you’ll get a chance to reconnect with people or a person from your past, if you choose to.?

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 12th house of endings and the subconscious. The 12th house is connected to Pisces in modern astrology, so you feel right at home in this dream world. The full moon coincides with two T-Squares involving Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus and the sun, moon and Uranus. Pay attention to your dreams around this time and keep a dream journal. A profound transformation may be taking place.?

The sun joins Venus in your 7th house of partnerships on August 22nd. You will be laser focused on teamwork and identifying with others. Coming off such a busy work period, your powers of collaboration may be put to the test, and you’ll need to adapt to another person’s style and way of being. You’re one of the most adaptable signs of the zodiac, so you’ll be up for the challenge.?
