LEO SEASON is READY to SHINE

So August is here, and the scopes are up, about how to shine in Leo season:

We have the Leo New Moon of August 4th, with Venus involved. To be as gorgeous, charismatic & talented as possible-because it's nice to feel genuinely self-assured & comfortable in our own skin, and the moxy to charge around showing the hell off! Also the emotional generosity to take care of our loved ones with supreme devotion, this astro reveals real loyalty, caring affection and maybe romantic sparks with certain, special people in our life.

Then Venus into Virgo, from Aug 5th immediately tangles with Mercury-the trickster planet who is retrograde from Aug 5th-30th. Gah, a Mercury retro month, tricky much?? Yes, especially for the first half of the month in Virgo, all the usual rules apply about attention to complicated details, avoiding sketchy conversations and not signing any literal or karmic contracts, that could fuq up at warp speed. Patience please. Then Mercury retro into Leo, from Aug 16th, is more about finessing the courage of our convictions; to do with expressing our shameless self promotion and declaring our loving intentions with certain relationships, as honestly as possible no matter any weird misunderstandings coming up?

Also Mars conjunct Jupiter in Mercury ruled Gemini, exact Aug 14th. Brilliant inspiration to chase our most liberating, visionary schemes & dreams-so turned on by the multi-faceted, extravagant potential of personal & collective growth. Yes, let's embrace it! But of course with Mercury retro a bit of patience goes a long way, to keep the details and quality of communication clear.

Especially the Aquarius Full Moon, of Aug 20th, opposite Sun conjunct Mercury retro, in Leo. All about clarifying our own intention, as much as possible to remain emotionally congruent about how we turn up in the world, and conversations with our tribe.

Let's take the time to be true to ourselves this month, as shiny sovereign beings, with sexy integrity. The better to support and encourage one another, to all evolve together, huh?

Happy August folks, and much more detail for your sign with the monthly horoscopes here.
