August begins with motivational sprints towards a new lease on life as the Sun in Leo trines the North Node in Aries at 8/9 degrees, followed by Mars in Gemini sextile North Node in Aries. Yet as the Leo New Moon at 13 deg appears on August 4, just as Mercury stations retrograde at 4 deg Virgo, bringing forth matters of the past (projects, ideas, skills, people) that must be revisited with the determination of Leo. New solutions are required and must be practically handled through a methodical process. Venus in Virgo arrives on August 4 as well, with a focus on her personal needs and internal happiness, more so than the tasks and routines she regularly takes care of for others. Support, cleanse, and strengthen your own energy now, as it will make for a more satisfying journey through August.
