August continues to bring the heat, but not just from the Sun. This week, the cosmos invites bold moves, deep emotions, and powerful shifts. With Leo season lighting up your desire for joy and authenticity, you’re being asked to reconnect with your heart in a way that feels honest and empowering. But just as the fire builds, Mars changes signs and the Aquarius Full Moon rises, stirring the winds of change.
This is a week where your energy, relationships, and long-term vision come into focus. The desire to move forward is strong, but so is the call to pause and reflect.
Keep reading to learn how to balance both and make the most of the magic this week has to offer!
At the start of the week, the Moon in Sagittarius connects positively with the Sun in Leo. This can lift your mood and help you see the brighter side of life. If you’ve been feeling uncertain or stuck, this alignment can remind you of the importance of joy and play. Follow what lights you up from the inside and let your inner fire lead.
On Tuesday, as the Moon enters Capricorn, your focus may shift to long-term goals and responsibilities. If something feels off track, this is a good time to make gentle adjustments. Be mindful of your energy, especially if you’re feeling tired or scattered. It’s okay to take a break and come back stronger. You don’t have to do it all at once.
Midweek brings a major shift as Mars moves into Libra. Mars is the planet of motivation, while Libra rules balance, relationships, and fairness. Over the next several weeks, you may feel more driven to work with others, restore harmony, or take action in your partnerships.
Reflect on this: How can I move forward without pushing others away? Where do I need to compromise, and where do I need to stand strong?
As the Moon moves into Aquarius, your attention may turn to the future. This is a great time to explore new ideas and solutions. You may feel a stronger desire to think outside the box and do things differently. Be open to change. Sometimes, a fresh approach is all it takes to unlock momentum.
The energy on Friday is bold and complex. Mars aligns with Uranus, encouraging exciting changes and bold action. This can feel electric, especially if you’ve been waiting to make a move. At the same time, Mars opposes Saturn, which reminds you not to leap without looking. This tension between freedom and responsibility can feel uncomfortable, but it’s also a chance to practice balance. You’re not being asked to choose one or the other. You’re being asked to grow!
Saturday brings the Aquarius Full Moon, and this is a powerful time to reconnect with your vision. What kind of life do you want to create? What impact do you want to have? Aquarius encourages innovation and personal freedom, but it also reminds you of your place in the collective.
Keep in mind that this Full Moon might bring up frustrations, especially if you’ve been holding back your truth or feeling confined. Allow yourself to break free where needed, but do so with intention.
Try this Full Moon reflection: What future am I dreaming of? And what’s one step I take today to support it?
On Sunday, the Moon enters gentle Pisces, softening the intensity of the week. You may need more quiet time or rest, so listen to your body and spirit. Mars makes a beautiful connection to Pluto, helping you find clarity and inner strength. This can be a great moment to focus on personal transformation or to take back your power in an area of life where you’ve felt stuck.
This week is filled with dynamic energy, bold movement, and the potential for deep change. Stay grounded in your values, lead with love, and trust the timing of your path.
If things feel uncertain, come back to your breath, your body, and your heart. That is where your true power lives.
