The Full Sturgeon Moon in Aquarius on August 9th (very close to today!) will illuminate your friendships and community circles, revealing truths about your social connections.

However, Saturn in Pisces in your twelfth house might bring out hidden anxieties or disrupt your sleep, so prioritize rest and managing stress. Communication with friends might be challenging, so choose your words carefully. Your energy levels are high, but overconfidence in romantic matters could lead to issues. Be humble and make time for family.

Happy solar return! This month accentuates your personality and self-image, making you feel confident and ready to lead.

Stay grounded and listen to others.

Virgo

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

This is an intense phase for you, as Mars is passing through your own sign, giving you lots of energy, drive, and some restlessness. However, with your ruling planet Mercury retrograde in your unconscious sector until August 11th, you might be living more in your head than in reality, making progress feel frustratingly slow. The Full Sturgeon Moon on August 9th encourages rest, inner work, and releasing tension. Saturn in Pisces sits opposite you, testing your patience in relationships, both personal and professional.

Social life might get complicated for you now. Mars in Virgo energizes your network of friends and groups, making you eager to connect and collaborate. However, Saturn in Pisces suggests that not everyone can be trusted, so be discerning. The Full Sturgeon Moon on August 9th brings revelations about family dynamics. It’s time to build from your values and control your earning power, whether asking for a raise or rebooting a business. Don’t worry about what others want; follow your own desires. Unexpected opportunities may arise, so stay open and adaptable, trusting your intuition.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Career moves and home life are both highlighted for you. Mars in Virgo drives your ambition, making you want to achieve more professionally. However, Saturn in Pisces in your home sector may create tension between career demands and family comfort. The Full Sturgeon Moon on August 9th encourages you to spotlight your understanding of other people and perspectives. Travel, educational courses, or quests can bring increased clarity. Try to keep work and home matters separate, communicate clearly with family, and avoid rushing decisions regarding your career or property. Renew interest in community circles, as friends from your social scene will be prominent.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Your daily life, domestic routines, financial position, and inner world are all likely important this month. The Full Sturgeon Moon on August 9th brings sudden relationship developments.

Mars and Saturn in opposition (Virgo vs. Pisces) create tension between action and logic clashing with emotion and faith.
