Get ready for a month of Leo willpower as the July 27th lunar eclipse, and simultaneous blood red full moon put a reset on all of our relationships, boundaries, motivations, and awareness of self. July was a fast-moving month, and time seemed to be more than just flying! We have all been prepared for a just as constructive, "run and gun," abundance-filled August.

The eclipse experience is not finished, as there is a partial solar eclipse happening in Leo on August 11th at 19 degrees. This is exciting because it will bring us a boost in self-confidence, fire energy, fated romantic, and platonic meetings, as well as an inclination to enjoy this final summer month; so make sure you break out that fire outfit, pair of shoes, or bikini that you have been waiting all summer to wear!

Once Mercury comes out of retrograde on the 19th, the universe ain't done with us yet. The personal planet that is the tumultuous Mars, is turning direct this month, but we have a quick buffer before that happens with an ethereal, spiritual, and extremely lucky trine communication of Jupiter in Scorpio, and Neptune in Pisces - all happening on August 19th. When two planets are trine, they are in their highest-vibe state of synchronicity. Overall, this trine between these planets represent a theme of accepting what is, letting go, and moving forward. If there have been any personal issues, financial setbacks, sexual blockages, or a lack of spiritual clarity, whatever the eclipses and retrogrades have not taken care of so far, this trine will seal the deal.

Mars returning from retrograde from Aquarius to Capricorn will catch all of the people who slipped in between the cracks of the trines with bizarre and unexpected Aquarius-like manifestations in your reality, that will surely set you back on the right routine, and structured Capricorn path.

Now that you have a good idea of what is going on with the planets, click through the gallery below to see the most important energetic themes that will affect your life by your zodiac sign for the month of August 2018:

Aries


Starting on the 11th, with the partial solar eclipse, many Aries signs will be feeling the weight of their own hang-ups, gripes, and self-imposed burdens. Wherever you might have been making it hard on yourself, by 1) overworking yourself when it is unnecessary, 2) becoming disappointed over your own unrealistic expectations due to perfectionism, and 3) not giving yourself the utmost attention and self-care necessary to be productive, will be checked by the eclipse.

You will likely have your sights on your ultimate good, but you won't get there until you take a look at your current self-reflection.

When it comes to the trine in Scorpio and Jupiter, Aries will likely be pleasantly surprised with unexpected messages or opportunities to expand financially, or partner up with new people in business. This could be just the opportunity you have been looking for that puts you ahead of the game. Be sure to thoroughly analyze any opportunity that comes your way in a timely fashion, as well as feel out the energy of the people that you could be working with. Though these connections could be temporary, incoming short-term opportunities could result in your big break.

The trine of Neptune in Pisces will affect the Aries' emotions the most. If you are single, there could be an influx of romantic activity that could fizzle out just as quick as they start, or could be the beginning of an end of the summer fling turned love affair. Take everything romantically with a grain of salt. If you are in a relationship, don't be surprised if emotions run deep, raw, and wild - causing a ripple in your bond that ultimately might start out rough, but bring you both closer together.

Finally, Mars going direct will mean the beginning of a new cycle. You might want to get back on the ball with whatever you have been sleeping on, or you might have a strong urge to "get your ish together." Things will begin to manifest very quickly in your reality if you set your intentions for growth, and progression of your highest and greatest good. One thing is for sure, however...nothing will change if you don't initiate a start.

Taurus


Starting on the 11th, with the partial solar eclipse, Taurus signs will be very much so "in their feelings." The eclipse will bring about strong desires for compassion, romance, connection, and spiritual clarity. Earth signs will be glowing with Mother Earth energy, as many of them will feel powered by the divine feminine and creatively fertile energies. Your sex appeal will be on an all-time high and you don't even have to try very hard. You may find yourself very inspired, and ready to create. You can make the most out of this energy by manifesting your affirmations and intentions.

Remain in a vibration of abundance to better your chances of speaking things into existence.

When it comes to the trine in Scorpio and Jupiter, Taurus signs might experience emotionally charged conflicts, debates, or ultimatums internally, or with people close to them. You may end up being the bigger person, and surrendering to peace, or walking away from an inflated argument. Time could heal whatever personal conflict you have been experiencing, but you will have to get back to basics when it comes to rebuilding something that has fallen apart.

The trine of Neptune and Pisces could mean new opportunities coming in for Tauruses that would likely be in the realm of hyper-visibility, social media, or gaining public recognition. This is your opportunity to shine, stand out, and shoot your shot in any way that you are presented space. This is time to put your best foot forward. If you are tuned into social media, make sure your personal brand is poppin'! You never know who is watching, so use every opportunity this month to make a good impression, and sell the most transparent and best version of yourself.

Finally, with Mars going direct, your intuition will be steering the wheel. The more you go against your inner knowing, the more setbacks, and delays you will experience. Use this time to connect to your higher self, and spend a lot of time finding greater meanings to the happenings of your everyday life. Understand that the things that manifest in your reality, is a reflection of what you have been putting energy, and focus into.

Pay more attention to any signs and synchronicities that show up, this includes lucid dreams, and angel numbers.

Gemini


The energy surrounding the solar eclipse will have a lot of Geminis falling back to look at the bigger picture of their current situations. What has transpired so far this year for you? What are the biggest blessings that you have learned so far? What have you had to accept, and what big pills have you had to swallow? This energy will feel like you are merging into a new beginning, that will allow you to be in more control of your mind, behaviors, and external circumstances. How can you better your own patterns to be more conducive towards the life that you wish to live?

The trine in Jupiter and Scorpio for Gemini signs might be a recipe for scattered thoughts, mixed emotions, and multiple aspirations that send you in all sorts of directions. You could have a hard time making decisions, or sticking to a plan. The best thing to do during this time is to be honest with yourself. What do you truly want? What can you no longer allow in your reality? What do you need to give up? Getting real with yourself will be the name of the game during this trine.

Going back to what makes you nostalgic could help you figure things out.

The trine of Neptune and Pisces will push many Gemini signs to finally take care of anything they have been sitting on. If you have been meaning to paint your bedroom, take a trip to IKEA, or finally finish that business plan, you should take this opportunity to do so. Pisces is ruled by Neptune, so your creativity will be on high, and will help you get through responsibilities as less of a chore, and more of an opportunity to think out of the box.

Finally, with Mars going direct from Aquarius to Capricorn, Gemini signs will shift into a very results-oriented mindset. Be sure not to jump the gun, or expect to cut corners in your pursuit of certain goals. If there are any personal, or emotional kinks that need to be worked out within yourself, you cannot ignore the work. You have to learn the music before you can play a symphony.

Cancer


The solar eclipse energies will act as a dense mirror of everything that is keeping you out of alignment with self. Some major self-reflection is in the cards for Cancer signs during this time. There is an energy of, "it's not you, it's me." It's truly about taking responsibility for where you have fallen short in your actions, promises, and personal deadlines. At the same time, it will not help if you are consistently beating yourself up for not being picture perfect.

Understand where you are, how far you have come, and the small victories you have conquered. Positive self-reinforcement is necessary!

The planetary conversation of Jupiter and Scorpio will have Cancers paying attention to what truly makes them happy, whole, and walking in purpose. If you have been somewhat moving farther away from your truth in any way, this conversation will send you a quick reminder about who you are, why you do what you do, and what it is you are supposed to contribute to the world. This energy will help you focus on what you are passionate about.

The trine of Neptune and Pisces will be helping Cancer signs better implement their aspirations and dreams into physical reality. You might receive some practical advice about how to move forward in your career, or structure your hobby into a bankable resource. This energy will help you to drive your purpose into action.

Nothing is better than someone with a divinely inspired plan.

Finally, Mars going direct will bring in an influx of spiritual awakening and growth for many Cancer signs. You will likely be very interested in metaphysics, mindfulness, the laws of the universe, and higher consciousness. Whatever you discover, could transform deep-seated beliefs systems, or long-withstanding opinions. Though you might mentally fight some of this energy, you will still be drawn to higher thoughts, like a moth to a flame.

Leo


Leos! This is your season! The August 11th Eclipse will definitely have you feeling hype because this is your sign's season, and though your solar return is upon you, having fun should only be one part of your goal. This year in particular, is a very important year for personal evaluation, as well as emotional and soul evolution and growth. Whatever is going on externally, is a reflection of your internal well-being. If you are not experiencing the life you truly want to create for yourself, you must go within, with the purpose of clearing emotional and energetic blockages.

A lot of changes could be coming that require you to find balance internally and externally.

The conversation that Jupiter is having with Scorpio will have many Leos understanding that they need to make an effort to stop any habits, codependency, or negative thought and behavior patterns in order to move forward. Many of you will hypothetically put yourselves on "time out," or give yourself pep talks in the mirror every morning, encouraging you to stay on track with whatever you have been working on. Your ego will most certainly be mischievous around this time if you let it!

The trine of Neptune in Pisces will double down on whatever needs to end in you life. What you previously have been over the moon and in the stars about, could prove to be a big illusion, that you can finally see through. How have you grown through and pass the old you?

Are you ready to transcend the caterpillar and cocoon phase at whatever juncture you are in currently, and metamorphosize into a beautiful butterfly?

Finally, Mars going direct from Aquarius to Capricorn will will triple down on changes you begin to make in your life. It could all start with an abrupt, or sudden, reality check that causes you to think about things differently and want to change your course. This could lead to ending any vicious cycles in your life that has drained your energy, or disconnecting from people that no longer serve your highest and greatest good. Anyone or thing that has been deceptive in your world, will likely be made known. It will take your own courage and Leo strength to walk away.

Virgo


For Virgos, the energy surrounding the August 11th eclipse will be all about clarifying any illusions or mysteries surrounding your relationships, spirituality, mission, and true desires. What perspectives have you held onto that has actually kept you captive to your own mind? What cages have you built around yourself that made you feel locked in?

This wave of energy will definitely give you the permission to free yourself from anything that has been holding you back in any way.

The Jupiter/Scorpio trine will insist that you listen to your intuition, allowing it to be your guide. Instead of looking to others for answers, validation, or spiritual guidance, learn to go within for your own answers. It's ok to get outside counsel, and oftentimes very wise, but there comes a point where the only truth that you should be making final decisions based off of, is your own. The trine will ask you to learn to trust yourself, and stop doubting your own greatness.

The Neptune/Pisces trine invites you to envision your best self as a manifestation in your reality. Your third eye and crown chakra will be highly activated, allowing you to access signs in your dream state. Vivid and lucid dreams will be helpful to find clarity during this time. Also practice meditation and visualization to speed up the process of manifestations in your life.

Finally, Mars going direct from wishy-washy Aquarius to set in its Capricorn ways, will leave you with lessons about whom you are no longer willing to entertain, and allow to take energy from you. You will feel more required to preserve your peace than get involved with matters that don't exactly concern you. Virgos are empathetic by nature, but even y'all have to learn when to draw a line in the sand sometimes.

Libra


For the Libras out there, the energy surrounding the upcoming eclipse on August 11th will bring your focus to whatever has been confusing you, or wherever you have been in a rut. It's as if the universe will send you a direction that you will likely hate to walk in, but deep down you know that this path is one that you must take. It is a rite of passage that will ultimately get you out of a state of stagnation, and back to progression, in any area of life. You might have to bite the bullet on this one.

The Jupiter in Scorpio trine will have Libras getting through all of the distractions, illusions, and things that are meant to slow you down, and divert your attention. Finding out what is truly important to you and getting through all of the fluff, mixed emotions and thoughts is what will lead you to living your best life.

Cutting out any BS in any kind of relationships in your life will reveal whatever has been holding you back.

After the conversation of Neptune with Pisces, many Libras will come out more focused than ever. You will be over the jealousy or envy that people have for you, or that you have held for others. You will not worry about what people think of you, or the he said she said BS. More than ever, you will feel like the only competition you have is with yourself.

Finally, Mars going direct from Aquarius to Capricorn could have Libra signs coming out of a period of introspection, after really working out their own emotions. The infrastructure that you have built around strengthening your own core values, spirituality, and opinions will feel like a fresh start and foundation for whatever it is you stand for, and how you want to present yourself to the world.

Scorpio


August 2018 for Scorpio will be a month that feels like you aren't running your own show, rather the universe will step in immensely. You will likely feel like, more than ever, your future isn't written...it's designed. The eclipse energy on August 11th will force your mind and logic to move aside, and let nature take its course. These could be defining moments where your soul is taking the wheel, and follows divine instructions to guide you to wherever you are meant to be.

With this knowledge, don't fight the flow, go with it.

Jupiter is in conversation with your sign, so this means that you will be guided toward something great, and more profound than you can imagine. Divine intervention will be on high in your reality. If you have a feeling that something BIG is about to orbit into your sphere, you're right! Whatever, whoever, and wherever you are guided to is most definitely a part of your soul's design and life path.

The trine of Neptune in Pisces will help usher in something you have been waiting for. This could be a lover, a job, an advance, a miracle, or an intention you have been manifesting. This Neptune/Pisces energy is very lucky! If you have been allowing your soul to lead your actions and decisions, you may very well find yourself exactly where you want to be.

Mars going direct from Aquarius to Capricorn will mean that Scorpios will have to take an "L" in any given area of life, but only to make room for that thing that is coming in. It's true that many of life's lessons come through pain, loss, or suffering, but hopefully whatever you give up, will be more fulfilling than it is something worth grieving about. You might even feel like you're losing dead weight in anyway that makes sense for your life. It's out with the old, in with the new. Prepare your spirit to receive even bigger and better things.

Sagittarius


There is a very strong message for Sagittarians with the upcoming month and August 11th eclipse. There is something that must be shed from your life. Whatever this is, will no longer operate as it has been, and many Sagittarius signs will have to bend and break their own rules because they will feel more directly hit by whatever this recurring energy is. What is it that you have to "break up with" in your life? Who or what is making you feel like you aren't complete, whole, or valid?

If you feel sick of holding on to old baggage, fighting the same fight, or putting up with the same nonsense, just throw it all away.

The conversation of Jupiter with Scorpio will ask Sagittarius signs to do themselves a favor and ditch any unnecessary baggage. If something needs to be addressed, don't try to pretend it doesn't bother you. If you have been dealing with something in the dark, it's time to open up to it, and shed some light on it. Otherwise, it will get so hard and calcified to the point where you bury this energy inside so deeply, that you forget that it's still tainting your soul.

The trine of Neptune/Pisces will be like a breath of fresh air for Sagittarians who decide to get through an experience with self-love, self-care, and learning from past mistakes. You might be motivated by wanting to be fearless, carefree, and Lil Duval's viral anthem, "Living My Best Life," might be your personal anthem to close out the summer.

If you have been feeling off, or not as high energy as you normally are, Mars going direct from Aquarius to Capricorn might have you back to your fiery self! Use this planetary energy to become a magnet for drawing abundance into your life. Enter a vibration of a free spirit who is absolutely in love with living life on your own terms. You would be surprised at what you conjure up, simply by living your best life.

Capricorn


August will be month of adjustments, adaption, and transition for Capricorns. The eclipse will literally put a halt on all manifestations, unless you remove certain blockages and obstacles. One of the hardest things about ending a cycle is that sometimes, we don't want to let go. Also, it is hard for Capricorns to break routine. There may be some very practical things that are standing in your way and, if that is the case, then you should be able to fly through the changes with no problem.

If the transition is an emotional one, take a deep breath, hold your head up, and cross the bridge before you, knowing that there are blessings waiting for you on the other side.

The trine of Jupiter in Scorpio will have Capricorns feeling like a lot of their issues have been cleared up overnight! If you crossed that bridge in the beginning of the month, it's likely that you experience a phenomenon of your lucky stars lining up. There is an energy of "you reap what you sow," so get ready for some sowing. The end of the summer could be a nonstop celebration, and if you are walking in purpose, expect your manifestations to be back on track.

The conversation that Neptune is having with Pisces will bring the Capricorns more creative energy that will sway such an earthy and fixed sign to try new things, and open up to new experiences. You might find yourself giving certain things a try that you never thought you would. This could be as simple as a certain type of food, or wearing a lip color that you thought never looked good on you. Under this energy, you could feel more inclined to take risks, chances, and start new journeys in area of life.

Finally, Mars making a direct entrance back into your sign of Capricorn could have many of you feeling like it is "you against the world." With Mars energy back in your sign, you could draw some people who have less than notable character, trying to pick a fight with you, or shoot their shot in any way. Be wary of who you extend a helping hand, so that you do not fall into someone's deceptive trap. Try not to get caught up in gossip or baited into a situation you do not need to be in.

Use this Divine masculine Mars energy to focus on your business, brand, or building stability.

Aquarius


With the start of the Leo season, and the partial eclipse happening on August 11th, Aquarius signs will be feeling the need to be more aggressive in any areas of life where you have been more passive. What have you been enabling around you, whether it's the behavior of others, or your own poor habits? What patterns or cycles have been occurring in your reality, because you allow it to? Has there been anything that you complain about, yet you are the only person who can change it?

The energies in the beginning of this month will ask you to take a look at where you have been your own worst enemy, or roadblock.

The Trine of Jupiter in Scorpio will have your divine feminine energy peaking! Your emotions will be at the forefront of your thoughts and focus. You could find yourself in la-la-land more often than normal for you, and feeling very inspired, sexual, and creative. You may even experience the feeling of disassociation, or unusual out of body experiences during this time. Whatever messages come through to your spirit at this time, try to journal what you receive.

The conversation that Neptune is having with Pisces could have Aquarians feeling self-conscious about their appearance. Whether it's a bad hair day, or a day where nothing you put on seems to fit you properly. This perception is likely more in your head than it is true. Try not to be so judgmental on yourself around this time because Neptune is good at altering perceptions. If you usually are a fashionista, maybe it's time to just throw on whatever makes you comfortable!

Finally, Mars going direct from your sign into Capricorn will bring about a "call for action" of some sort. Something could come up that needs your immediate attention, and will require you to make a decision, and follow through. It might feel as if you have been "in remission," and now it is time to re-emerge into whatever the universe throws your way. One thing is for sure, when a planet like Mars goes direct into a sign like Capricorn, definitely expect an increase of activity, and a change of pace.

Pisces


The month of August 2018 for Pisces will bring certain things in alignment in order for Pisceans to see the bigger picture of the current happenings in their lives. The August 11th eclipse might bring forth the clarity, and the foresight needed to move forward with your goals and plans. Where you previously might have been stuck, or focusing on the past, this bump of energy will likely having you ready to never turn back on old news.

Don't be surprised if you experience a huge epiphany that helps you realize that you are exactly where you need to be.

The trine of Jupiter speaking to Scorpio will be highly significant with killing off any insecurities that have kept you from flourishing for a very long time. The universal energies that surround us now are very powerful, and in many cases are the first time the Earth has been hit with such force. This means that a lot of withstanding emotional and energetic blockages within yourself will be forced out. Do not fight the things that you once clung to for a false sense of security. Releasing old blockages will literally feel like a rebirth.

The Neptune/Pisces trine will be very powerful because your sign is front and center. Neptune represents illusion, and perception. This powerful energy in your sign could sway your emotions and cause confusion about something you pretty much had a good handle on. It could feel that overnight, a problem exists where it never did before. This trine could be very tricky, so don't allow temporary emotions to steer your ship. Instead, talk things out with a reasoning mind. You could find that the issue is simply a misunderstanding.

Finally, volatile Mars going direct from wishy-washy Aquarius, into stuck in its ways Capricorn, could bring up a lot of reasons for you to lose your cool. The lesson however, is knowing how to use restraint and discipline to know what is worth your time and what isn't. There is an energy of "the devil is a liar." Remember all the internal strides you have made to be your best self, aligned, and at peace.

Don't allow a temporary lapse of judgement to be the reason you douse your own light.
