This month is all about love, romance and your heroine’s journey. ❤
We often associate romance with partnership and sex but it’s so much more than that! Romance is about the story. It’s about passion, desire, challenge and triumph! There’s a hero in every story and in this story, the hero is YOU!
The Sun in Leo this month is a reminder that you’re the star of your life and there’s no reason to be anything but proud, regal and victorious! This lovely Leo energy brings new opportunities to give and receive love.
This month, share your heart lavishly and be open to receive adoration from unexpected places. Overall, you’re set up for success this month when you live as if you’re the heroine of this story called your life…because you are.

Lovely Virgo, this month for you is about cleansing and renewal. August is the dark moon phase of your annual evolutionary cycle. There’s deep wisdom within you at this time.

LIBRA
Gorgeous Libra, this month you’re being called to integrate a craving for freedom. Pay attention to situations where you feel stuck or stagnant and notice if there are ways in which you’re the one binding yourself.

SCORPIO
Smoldering Scorpio, this month is all about manifesting because Saturn (manifesting and real world stuff) meets your ruling planet Mars (desire). You’ll have opportunities to meet adversity head-on with frustration and impatience or with devotion and skill. This choice is yours! The secret is to offer your heart and your hustle.
August Power Mantra: I’m a hustlin’ boss babe!

PISCES
Gentle Pisces, this month you’re still in the waxing (growing) phase of the annual lunar cycle which means that your energy is still expanding. There’s more to do even though things may feel a bit uncertain. Where you’re already invested is where your energy is needed most. Do all things with love and you can’t go wrong.
August Power Mantra: I lovingly share energy with grace
ARIES
Fierce Aries, this month pay extra attention to the ways in which you express yourself. The planet Uranus (freedom of self expression) is stationing retrograde (internalized) in your sign.

GEMINI
Curious Gemini, what is it that you’re creating this month? There’s great promise and reward when you devote your heart to the cause. This month, multitasking is overrated. Devote your energy to what’s truly important to you. You’ll be rewarded in the long run for your efforts.
August Power Mantra: I’m devoted to my passion
CANCER
Sweet Cancer, this month it’s about movin’ and shakin’. Take a few calculated risks. This isn’t a time to be shy. You don’t have to be reckless, but you’re being asked to take emotional risks. It’s a month of exploration and growth. Watch out for ways in which you can stay receptive in the face of fear. When you’re vulnerable, you’re stronger than ever.
August Power Mantra: Vulnerability is true strength
