The New/Full Moon Energy for August 2021

 

By Donna Stellhorn

The month begins with the sun and Mercury sitting directly opposite Saturn. You will be trying to find the balance between fun and responsibility. For some, this is the last few weeks of summer before school begins — time to get as much fun in as possible. But for everyone, there’s the question of finding the balance between what you want to do and what you need to do.

Jupiter is back in Aquarius until December 29, 2021. You have until then to use this energy to your benefit. Once Jupiter leaves Aquarius, it will not return for 12 years. Jupiter in Aquarius has a strong sense of social justice, so you may be working with groups and organizations to help your community. Aquarius rules technology, so you may be upgrading equipment, learning new software, or getting a new phone. This is a good time to renew connections with friends you haven’t seen in a long time. Aquarius rules future plans. Consider updating your vision board over the next few months.

On August 8, there is a new moon at 16° of Leo, separating from a square to Uranus. You may have a greater desire for freedom and self-expression. You might take up a new hobby, play hooky from work, or cross a big item off your bucket list.

On August 16, Venus enters its own sign of Libra, bringing an emphasis on beauty and balance. Over the next few weeks, you may feel a desire to change your hair color, get a new outfit, or redecorate the house with pops of color.

The full moon is on August 22 at 29° of Aquarius. On the same day, the sun goes into the sign of Virgo. There’s an emphasis here on letting go of something you may have held onto for a long time. This could be an object, a person, or a limiting belief. After a moment of a decision, suddenly you are free. You may look back and wonder why it took you so long to let go.

Aries

There is a lot of romantic activity in your chart this month. Aries native, you could be falling head over heels in love with someone who has been a friend for a long time. You may be taking a financial risk, investing in something speculative, or acquiring a big investment. A raise or promised promotion looks like it’s delayed…this could cause you to consider looking for a new job. Family members are coming together to help with a big project or give you a boost of confidence.

Taurus

There’s a great deal of focus on the home for Taurus natives. It may be that you are going back into the office after working at home for some time. Kids may be leaving to go to college and now you have an empty nest. A financial opportunity connected to real estate is possible. A favorite colleague might be moving on to a different position or even a different company. There’s a romantic opportunity if you take things slowly. Don’t rush into a relationship right now. Take time to build a foundation.

If you’re in a new relationship, you could be introducing your sweetheart to your friends and family. A home renovation project is completed.
