Leo season spotlights your finances, self-worth, and values. The theme of this month is self-improvement. Now is the time to initiate a new project and break away from your usual routine. Leave the past behind and embrace the opportunity to venture on a new journey or project. You might not have a solid plan in place, nor know where you’re headed, but the possibilities excite you. August is about taking action and directing your life where you want it to go. Are you willing to follow through and live the life you were incarnated for? Now, let's read your monthly horoscope.

Venus squares Uranus on August 2, which stirs up some intense energy around your values and friendships. You may find yourself confronting a fear head-on. It is the perfect time to confront what has been holding you back and to finally overcome it. You are being compelled to break free of old patterns and embrace new ways of thinking, as a result of this cosmic shake-up. Don't shy away from this challenge; it is an opportunity for growth and self-discovery.

On August 4, a magical New Moon in Leo occurs, bringing fresh energy to your sense of self-worth and material goals. This is your opportunity to stand on your own and take charge of your destiny. If you want to be happy and fulfilled, you need to take risks and trust the universe to support you. You should pay close attention to opportunities that align with your values and avoid anything that drains your energy or feels off. Avoid making impulsive decisions or getting involved in drama during this New Moon. Don't lose sight of your path and remain confident that you are moving in the right direction.

Venus enters Virgo during the New Moon, and Mercury turns retrograde, conjuring up themes relating to communication and ideas. Possibly you have a seed of an idea or a general sense that something new is coming, but you are not quite ready to express it. There is no need to take action at this time - in fact, it may be detrimental to do so since this idea is still in its infancy. Let your idea develop, grow, and blossom into what it wants to become. Don’t force it; sit in the creative void and allow it to open up to you.

Mars and Jupiter align on August 14 and form a powerful conjunction in Gemini. Your subconscious and inner world are stirred up by this energy, which encourages you to explore those hidden parts of your psyche. There is an opportunity to delve into your motivations and gain a deeper understanding of them. Dreams and sudden insights can guide you toward profound personal growth, so pay attention to them.

A powerful Full Moon will occur on August 19 to mark the end of the Leo season. During this full moon, the Sun will be square to Uranus, and Jupiter will be square to Saturn on this day. There is no doubt that this energy is pushing you to change and bringing you outside of your comfort zone. There is a need for you to find fulfillment, fulfillment, and happiness. Focus on transformation, intimacy, and spiritual growth during this Full Moon. It is a powerful time to explore your emotional and spiritual connections, letting go of what no longer serves you and accepting the profound changes that will lead to increased closeness and personal growth.

Virgo season begins on August 22 and focuses on exchanges, knowledge, and community. There is an added benefit to this season because Mercury goes direct on August 28, clearing up any confusion or misunderstandings that may have previously arisen. You will be able to express your thoughts and ideas more easily, and projects that were stalled now have the opportunity to proceed. Connect with others, share your knowledge, and refine your skills using this energy. Virgo season is ideal for organizing plans and paying attention to details, which sets the stage for effective communication.

The Moon will be in your sign when Mercury turns direct, amplifying your emotional sensitivity and intuition. Now is a good time for self-reflection and understanding your deeper needs and desires. Treat yourself to a self-care day at this time. Turn off the phone, pamper yourself, and go for it.

At the end of the month, Venus returns to its home territory in Libra on August 29. A Venus in Libra transit is like a love song playing softly in the background, reflecting the importance of finding that sweet spot in relationships and appreciating the finer things in life. Take advantage of this opportunity to spruce up your surroundings, pamper yourself, and smooth over any rough edges in your relationships. It is about finding the right balance and enjoying the present moment.

Overall Cancer, this month is about new discoveries, connections, romance, and stepping out of your normal routine. You are headed for something that is aligned with your destiny. You've got this!
