September 23 - October 23

Overall:
August stirs your desire for connection, but also asks you to retreat a little. With the Sun in Leo, your social life may feel extra vibrant and affirming — but Mercury retrograde in Virgo brings introspective energy, pushing you to evaluate your boundaries, especially in friendships and emotional labor. The Aquarius Full Moon on August 11 could bring a moment of clarity or closure in a creative or romantic storyline. Use the Virgo New Moon on the 25th to reflect on what — and who — you’re ready to release.

Love & Relationships:
Romantic energy is dreamy and nostalgic this month. You may long for a kind of love that feels soulful and safe. If you're in a relationship, spend more time nurturing your emotional connection and less time focused on appearances or plans. If single, someone thoughtful may enter your orbit unexpectedly. Pay attention to how you feel in their presence, not just what they say.

Career & Finance:
You're craving more meaning in your work. Don’t ignore that impulse. Although Mercury retrograde may cause some setbacks, it’s helping you realign with a deeper purpose. Avoid signing contracts or making big announcements until after the 28th. Financially, this is a good time to clear up lingering debts or unspoken money issues with others.

Health & Wellness:
Emotional exhaustion is real, even if your calendar looks “manageable.” Let yourself cancel plans. Prioritize rest, journaling, or spiritual practices that remind you of your inner peace. Sound baths, flower essences, or guided meditations may bring comfort.
