Astrological Transits August 2023

August 2023 is shaping up to be quite a ride! Emotions will be running high with 4 planets in retrograde - Venus, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto. Later in the month, Mercury and Uranus will join the retrograde party too. We'll experience not one, but two Full Moons in Aquarius and Pisces, along with a fresh New Moon in Leo!

The North Node in Aries pushes us to be daring and independent. Meanwhile, Jupiter and Uranus continue their journey through Taurus, bringing growth and exciting opportunities. In Virgo, Mars makes us super productive and efficient, while Mercury helps us communicate with clarity. Venus is retrograde in Leo, prompting us to review our love life and what truly matters. Pluto's retrograde in Capricorn prompts us to look within and contemplate inner changes. Saturn's retrograde urges us to reassess our responsibilities and future goals. Neptune's retrograde in Pisces helps us see the truth and guides us towards a more spiritual path, free from any illusions.

On August 1st, get ready for an emotionally charged Full Moon in Aquarius. Socializing with friends can be both exciting and intense. Just watch out for potential conflicts in your social circle. Then, on August 16th, the New Moon in Leo at 23° gives you a fresh start, like hitting the reset button. It's an excellent time to set intentions and start new ventures. When the 23rd rolls around, the Sun will move into Virgo, making you want to get things organized and focused on being practical. On the same day, Mercury will go retrograde in Virgo, leading to some communication issues and delays. On the 28th, Uranus goes retrograde in Taurus, bringing internal shifts and exciting surprises that can lead to personal breakthroughs. And don't forget, on August 30th, there's another Full Moon in Pisces, stirring up emotions and giving you a chance to grow and reflect on your feelings.
