There’s no question about it: This has been a tough year. Some days, you can muster up a few ounces of hope…but other days, you feel totally lost. Believe it or not, Leo season may be partially to blame: While everyone's celebrating this fire sign on Zoom, you’re too exhausted to even open your computer. What gives?

Thankfully, the Full Moon in Aquarius on August 3 is going to deliver some straightforward answers. Under this sky, you’ll have the opportunity to identify blind spots in your daily reality, clearly noting what is—and what definitely is not—working. If you’ve been dragging around outdated systems, toxic thinking, and dozens of disappointments…well, it’s time to acknowledge these painful realities. It’s not going to pretty, Virgo. I know it sucks. But when you finally give yourself permission to identify these challenges, their mounting power will begin to dissolve right before your eyes. Under the lunation, veracity is key. Don’t be afraid of the truth, Virgo love: The truth will always set you free.

You’re offered another powerful opportunity for self-reflection on August 18, when the Sun and Moon align in Leo, forming a New Moon. For you, this lunation marks the end of an existing cycle. This is the time to say “see ya" to your past…but even the most overdue goodbyes can often feel bittersweet. Mid-month, you may find yourself cutting ties with a friend, lover, or even a boss—it may be intense, but trust the process, Virgo. You’re clearing space to plant exciting seeds for new opportunities that are actually aligned with your values. Don’t worry, babe, you totally got this!

Needless to say, you’ll be more ready than ever to celebrate when the Sun finally strolls into your own sign. Yes, Virgo, your season comes early this year—on August 22, it’s officially your time to shine. Happy birthday! With the center of the solar system shining directly into your zodiac sign, you’ll feel comfortable, confident, and perfectly at ease. What’s more, now that you left behind all those haters (good riddance!) you have a lot less to worry about for bday party planning. For the next few weeks, you’ll relish in inspiration, momentum, and abundance. This is the beginning of something really exciting and the best part is…you make the rules! So don’t be afraid to lean into your best self, Virgo darling. You worked hard to get where you are today!
