August where the days are still long and sun-drenched, the landscape is in full greenery, and we’re beginning to feel the shift into harvest season, a time when we experience the bounty of the seeds we have sown. Welcome to August 2021! Congratulations my Darkling’s!! You have now made it the 8th month in this wild ride of a year. Everything seems to be moving at a super fast pace now. Almost at warp speed. You could be feeling quite overwhelmed and at the same time there is an opportunity to drop back down to the earth for grounding and support. In a world of chaos, this month is urging you to find your center and connect to your heart and soul. This is an individual journey but so imperative when the energy feels all over the place.
Let’s take a closer look at the most important transits of the month, beginning with a bright light of heart activation and promise:
August 1st, 2021 – Sun Conjunct Mercury
Today’s energy will require an emotional maturity and discernment. If at times you feel at odds with society, keep in mind that any struggle, any conflict is an opportunity to understand yourself, and your place in the world better.
August 8th, 2021 – New Moon In Leo
Things suddenly turn personal. Initially, we may feel in between a rock and a hard place. The questions are the same: who am I, really? What makes me different from others? What’s my place in the world? You may not have all the answers yet, but make an effort and stay with the tension. Sometimes the things that we have the greatest resistance towards can lead to our greatest breakthroughs.
Spirit is advising a coming back home to our innocence with this tender new moon. This is a wonderful time to honor your creativity and artistic genius and to play, create and find joy in the simplest pleasures. Since Leo rules the heart, our ability to connect to the heart’s wisdom and sacred guidance will be key. Many could find the missing piece of inspiration that might have been lacking for quite some time. Being fully self expressed and confident is another amazing manifestation of this new moon. Letting the world and those around you hear your ROWR! This is a great time to finally create that blog, painting, or any other heart inspired creation that lights you up and that re-ignites your passion and purpose.
August 11th, 2021 – Mercury Enters Virgo
This is a lucky aspect for anything having to do with tangible abundance and sustainability. We could again feel a surge of passion and sexiness but instead of from a place of heat, this rush of emotions will be very centered in reality and the 3D existence. This is an excellent influence to learn more about your passions and interest in not only money making opportunities but also the ecstasy of the mind and the power of intention. For anyone involved in investments connected to minerals, land or even plant based therapies, this is a particularly powerful transit. Passion mixed with practicality and power will be the theme when these two meet up.
August 16th, 2021 – Venus Enters Libra
“When love comes to town”. The Goddess of love and relationships is at home in Libra. No matter what your Venus sign is, you will love Venus in Libra.
Your relationships will improve, because Venus in Libra just knows what makes people tick.
You will feel better about yourself too, because Libra brings balance and promotes a healthy relationship with your feelings. Venus is such an important planet, because it tells us how we feel about life, it describes our quality of life in general. When Venus is at home in Libra, the world feels like a good place to be in.
August 18th, 2021 – Mercury Conjunct Mars
“Show me the details!” This transit is great for verbal expression of any kind, to voice your opinions, do research, and go deep into a topic.
You will especially benefit from this transit if you have personal planets in Earth signs.
August 19th, 2021 – Uranus Goes Retrograde
Expect Uranus serendipitous, revelations and illuminating insights.
Uranus brings clarity even – and especially – when it goes retrograde. Uranus’ station will make you more aware of the subtle energies and information that surround you all the time, but are usually more difficult to access.
When you tap into Uranus’ energies, when you align yourself with Uranus, you are on the same frequency as the Universe, and gain incredible insight and clarity.
August 22nd, 2021 – Full Moon In Aquarius
We have a 2nd Full Moon in Aquarius. Last month we had a Full Moon at 1° Aquarius, and this time we have a Full Moon in the last degree of Aquarius.
The Full Moon in Aquarius is here to activate our mind and to produce many amazing and brilliant works of creativity. Whatever you began in February 2021(when there was the New Moon in Aquarius) will now begin to bear fruit.
There could be an old opportunity from the past but, now it will have a new lens of perspective and promise. Many sudden and unexpected windfalls of luck and miracles could happen at this time. We are coming full circle. This is a highly auspicious Full Moon because it is conjunct Jupiter. This Full Moon is in a way, our saving grace.
Every time we have 2 lunations in the same sign (and this doesn’t happen too often) the universe gives us the chance to make things right.
If the New Moon in Leo early this month has come with the problem, the Full Moon in Aquarius brings the solution. You will finally be able to connect the dots. Things will finally start to make sense. You will finally find your place in the world.
August 26th, 2021- Mecury exalted, trine to retrograde Pluto
This energy will produce a brilliance for money making opportunities and an ease within figuring out complex issues around control and power. These placements suggest a lot of practicality mixed with a passion for success and achievement. This is an excellent time to invest in money making opportunities that are practical and deal with long term returns. Many folks could have super intense realizations and conversations as well. Transformation that is grounded and rooted in reality will be evident with this transit.
August 30th, 2021 – Mercury Enters Libra
During this transit, we’re more diplomatic and we find it easier to see other people’s points of view.
With Mercury in Libra we are more likely to talk things through, get things straight, and find a “win-win” solution. When we have clarity around where we’re coming from, as well as where other people are coming from, we find that middle ground, that perfect balance between give and take, and this is when magic happens.
You could burn yourself out this month so making sure to relax and slow down will be imperative. Chillaxing in any way possible is advised. August is the time to wander through fields of wheat, connect to our inner knowing and acknowledge the cycles. Take time to reflect on what has come to pass and pay special attention to your intentions, the saying “reaping what you sow” has never been more relevant. Like Leo, take pride in who you are, and like Virgo, do the work that must be done. It is essential. Now is a time to turn your face to the golden sun and speak “thank you.” Now is a time to wander into the waters that give us life and sustain us with blessings in our hands. Remember, my Darklings that the Earth smiles upon you.
August 2021 is here to encourage your heart to be open with playful innocence, tap you into the power of your mind with practical planning and perseverance and to help your realize that tough times don’t last but tough people do!
Blessed be, in love & light Astro~Mia
