As the month of August begins, we are greeted by a New Moon once again—a time for self-reflection, for peace and quiet, and for manifesting your dreams.
The New Moon in Leo which falls on July 31 urges us to welcome the energies of the Leo sign; that is, to celebrate who we are and the life we are living. Spoil yourself in a typical Leo fashion by indulging in things you love. Nurture your creative talents and be open to kindling the fire of romance too!
Here’s how this week and the New Moon will affect you, based on your zodiac sign:
Aries (March 20 to April 19)
You will face situations where you’ll be expected to make some sort of decision or solve a problem. In doing these, remember to use your head—that is, separate yourself from your emotions so that you can tackle these situations objectively. You will also need to set boundaries for yourself right now because the fire within you to pursue your passions is burning brightly than ever, and these boundaries you’ll set will help you focus only on what’s important instead of exhausting yourself on things that won’t matter in the long run. Remember to take advantage of all the opportunities that come your way at high speed!
Taurus (April 19 – May 20)
In your efforts to succeed in whatever it is you’ve been working hard on—your work, your passion projects, matters of the home—remember that your patience and reliability will be your advantage. Don’t hesitate to take it one step at a time, day by day. Even though people tell you that you’re moving too slow, it’s important that you believe that your steady incremental progress is effectively bringing you much closer to your goal without harming your mental health. Stay true to your vision, and good fortune will come.
Gemini (May 20 – June 21)
Though you may be tempted to be carried away by your emotions, now is not the time to do so. Listen to your head and be critical and impartial with your actions. Cut through the noise of your surroundings and discern only the important details worth taking note of in the situation. At the same time, do your research properly before making any big decision. Don’t hesitate to be as direct and honest as you possibly can with people; after all, you’re not being insensitive, you’re just being fair.
