Virgo
What does fulfillment look like to you? This month you’re asked to delve inwards to answer that question. This may mean tuning out some of the outside noise from the rest of the world long enough for you to hear yourself. Though this isn’t about letting your thoughts run amuck. Seek out beauty.
You’re governed by Mercury (the planet of expression), so you deeply value communication. Accordingly, when Mercury isn’t functioning properly, you feel all sorts of uncomfortable. Fortunately, Mercury goes direct on Sunday, August 19, and after nearly four weeks of obnoxious malfunctions, you’re back in the game.
Libra
As if you weren’t already the belle of the ball, your popularity soars this month as people are clamoring over themselves to get next to you. Your secret to success will be on networking and connecting with those in your circle. Friends come bearing opportunities. Take some time to update your look.
Venus enters your sign on Monday, August 6, and since you’re governed by Venus, these combined energies feel fabulous. Over the next few weeks, fortify your exquisite tastes with trips to art galleries, wine tasting excursions, or a few indulgent shopping sprees. Remember, Libra, love doesn’t always require partnership. Sometimes, simply satisfying your personal proclivities is the more rewarding romance.
Scorpio

A new cosmic season begins on Thursday, August 23, when the sun moves into Virgo, illuminating the area of your chart associated with your long-term legacy.

Capricorn
If you feel like you’ve been operating at half-speed over the last few weeks, you should get the energy you need to conquer the world, while receiving the courage you need to conquer your fears. While there will be things outside of your control, your goal is to focus on what you can. Heal thyself
Although Mars began moonwalking in Aquarius, it’s shuffled so far back over the past two months that it’s actually reentered your sign.

Fortunately, Mars will be back in business on Monday, August 27 — just in time for a new celestial cycle.

Pisces

On Monday, August 6, Venus (the planet of love, beauty, and money) shifts into Libra.

Taurus
As you and the world you live in continues to shift and change, your home zone is lit up this month which may call for a move or an opportunity to relocate. A job offer could be the thing that inspires the move as well as your craving for a fresh start. Remember to treat yourself well. A dream could come true if you trust your first instincts.

Home and family will be a bright spot.CancerJune 21 - July 22
The fast-moving planet of communication has been retrograde in Leo since late July, leading to some seriously frustrating financial fallacies. But fear not, love. After three weeks in retrograde, Mercury resumes a forward flow on Sunday, August 19, which will help you regain your footing.
Leo
Your star continues to rise as the cosmos showers its goodies down on you. Let self-doubt go out the window and criticism roll off your back because the only one that matters right now is you.
