August ushers in the power of choice. The universal numerology number is this month. The tarot card associated with this month is the Devil, which is often misinterpreted as something negative; however, it's actually a sign that indicates where you might be limiting yourself and how to break free. Going along with this idea of liberation, the secondary card for August is the Lovers. Aside from the captivating Blue Moon in mid-month, this month's other astrological aspects are relatively mild. With both these signs combined together, we suggest forming a plan of action and breaking down all self-imposed boundaries to realize your full potential. During August 2023, there are two Full Moons – the first on the 1st in Aquarius and the second on the 30th in Pisces. Additionally, several celestial events may have an impact on plans and activities. On the 8th, a Quarter Moon in Taurus might invite a more restrained approach. The 17th brings a New Moon in Leo which suggests extra patience, while Mercury retrogrades into Virgo through its ruling planet stationing on the 23rd; while not ideal for starting new projects, stagnancy could yield beneficial long-term achievements with Virgo's appreciation of "turtle energy." Mars’ transits to Libra on the 27th may bring potential arguments, but with a Second Quarter Moon in Sagittarius occurring near month’s end one can find support for socializing. As such, this rare alignment makes August 2023 an opportune time to put plans into motion and watch them progress or conclude within its lunar cycle.
