August closes out with energy that refuses to let you coast. This week is about love, passion, and big turning points. It’s not a time to sit back and wait for things to happen. This is a week to notice where life is pushing you forward and decide how you want to meet it.
Let’s get into what you can expect for the last week of August!
The week kicks off with Venus entering Leo, lighting up themes of romance, creativity, and heart-centered living. After the recent Mercury retrograde in this same sign, the shift feels like an invitation to bring fun, beauty, and affection back into focus. Relationships and creative projects can benefit from this renewed fire.
Try this reflection today: Where in my life do I need more joy, and how can I welcome it in?
As the energy builds, Venus forms supportive connections with Uranus and Neptune. These alignments make midweek perfect for expanding your social circle, meeting new people, or reconnecting with old friends. Compassion flows more freely, and you may find it easier to understand and support the people closest to you.
But at the same time, keep your eyes peeled this Wednesday. Venus clashes with Pluto, stirring up issues of control, power, and intensity. This can feel heavy, but it also gives you the chance to release drama and choose peace.
By Thursday, Uranus and Neptune connect in a way that opens the door to creative breakthroughs and spiritual insights. Inspiration may arrive suddenly, so stay open to flashes of new ideas. A Scorpio Moon at the same time adds emotional depth, helping you cut through surface-level distractions and dive into what really matters.
Moving into the weekend, energy shifts again. A Sagittarius Moon invites adventure and a desire to stretch beyond your comfort zone. Optimism runs high, especially when paired with Saturn’s grounding influence, reminding you to pair bold dreams with discipline.
Try this reflection: What vision for my future excites me most, and what small steps can I take toward it now?
The week ends on a strong note with the First Quarter Moon in Sagittarius. This phase is all about adjustments! We’re not talking about the final result, but the steps that keep you moving forward. You may feel a push to clear away old blocks and take bold action, even if it feels a little messy. Remember, progress comes from momentum, not perfection.
As August winds down, the cosmos is asking you to live more from your heart, face intensity with courage, and welcome change as a pathway to growth.
The choices you make now, especially around love, creativity, and your personal vision, will ripple far beyond this week.
