Behold the power of two! This month the Sun will make the rounds through Leo (until August 22) then Virgo, heating up the two most relationship-driven parts of your chart. Your free-spirited sign can get squirrely about too much commitment. But August is the time of year when partnerships feel their most vibrant—or at least they come up for review. Assess your inner circle and the people you spend the most time with. Does everything feel fair and mutual? Is there a balanced give-and-take?
Your home is a particularly intense zone because on August 1, demanding Mars, changemaker Uranus and the karmic north node will make an ultra-rare meetup in Taurus and your domestic fourth house. You could feel major pressure on the homefront that catalyzes a sudden change—anything from a move to a renovation to someone moving in or out. Your mother or a female relative could play into events at the top of the month.
In some way, you’re feeling restlessness at a root level, ready to make changes to your lifestyle or break out of a comfort zone. Be careful not to make too many rash moves though, because this cosmic trio is highly destabilizing and impulsive.
Besides, if you’re looking for excitement, you’ll get some later this month. On August 20, action planet Mars will begin an extended trek through Gemini and your fifth house of passion, creativity and fame, staying until March 25, 2023. From finding true love to pursuing your talents to blowing up on TikTok, Mars is ready to be your hype-person. This seven-month cycle is five times the usual length of Mars’ visit to a sign. While things could get dramatic (keep that rarely-seen temper in check), life certainly won’t be boring!
