Welcome to August! We’re now entering a much slower and more introspective part of the year. Less action and more processing. That said, the full moon in Aquarius on the 1st inspires us to think differently and choose our own path. If your inner rebel needs some inspiration, Sandra Bullock, Melanie Griffith and—certified astrology geek!—Andrew Garfield were all born on a full moon in Aquarius.
Also on the 1st, Mars in practical Virgo makes a supportive trine to Jupiter in steady Taurus allowing us to move forward with grounded plans. Combined with the full moon, this aspect might bring a false sense of momentum when the task is really to reevaluate instead. The action won’t return until October so pace yourself until then. Time to embrace the in-between
