ARIES

August is full of energy for you Aries! Looks like you're DM's will be full of admirers, don't be scared to say yes to that rooftop happy hour or that extra ticket to that play. Grab your favorite yellow dress and allow yourself to flirt back with fate. Additionally, be on the lookout for some Kanye West's in your life... steer clear of arguments and ask yourself: is this a battle worth me fighting when I know I can win the war?

TAURUS

Taurus darling, Uranus is gathering you to pieces! And in a good way — even if it feels like it's a personal vendetta at times... trust us, it is not. Give into the metamorphasis that you're on, don't fight it... it's around until 2026. Yea that's 8 years. Essentially what is happening and will continue to happen is the most amazing growth you've ever witnessed. Your spirit and your life are going to be revolutionized. Okay, that's that. August tho, it's all about taking a beat. Go lay in the park and read a book, or go on a weekend road trip with your frens... OR take a few naps! This month is about slowing down and not feeling guilty about it.

GEMINI

This August all you want is to reach a higher level of understanding and of knowledge. Might we offer you this podcast? Regardless of what you read, watch or listen to — those things will only be good if you get out there and chop it up with folks who can push your ideals in conversation. Join a meet up, hit up that twitter friend you've been dying to meet in person and get to talking!

CANCER

So the past two years put you in a state of re-organizing what was serving you and what wasn't. This August see's some of that cleansing you did set you up for success with your career. The money is coming. Don't be scared of it. So often we are. After your birthday month hit you with a burst of energy, this month you'll be setting it off with an important idea. Get to building!

LEO

We've got homework for you Leo: explore what it is you truly want for yourself. We know that's hard AF... but the universe is here to help. Between this month and Jan 21st of 2018 you'll be forced to create some clear intentions around your future wants. Do the work, and see yourself flourish later. Also, pay attention to the things or THE thing you put on hold because you weren't ready... that relationship? that new degree? that move to Paris? The opportunity to reemerge.

VIRGO

This gif is you this month in a nutshell. You WANT TO go outside and be active, BUT the planets have you feeling sluggish! Don't fight it, you're usually running around anyway. TIME TO CHILL OUT. Say yes to that weekend getaway where all there is to do is swim in lake or make your own jam... and understand that it is a blessing as we approach your birfday month. Also, if you find yourself having second thoughts about the big plans you said yes too — allow yourself the time in the next few months post September to reevaluate your plate. Overflowing is not always good.

LIBRA

Gather your squad and sign up for some volunteering. This August has you wanting to do good for your community, but you don't want to fly solo. We recommend NY Cares if you're in NYC, they have an array of volunteering opportunities set up by sector and borough. Aftewards ya'll can grab a drink and celebrating the positive impact you all just had.

SCORPIO

Someone has their eye on the prize! Just don't run anyone over as you blaze to your goal this month. We're here for you making moves and all, but with mercury in retro you will likely face some hurdles. That consulting gig is in the bag! But you might not get that contract until later this month... that dream apartment is yours! But it wont be vacant until September. See what we mean? Don't lose your shit though. Just be patient (we know you don't like that word).

SAGGITARIUS

Earth to Sag! You're dreaming of greener pastures, both in your lifestyle and in your bank account. That million dollar idea is better cultivated in private until after the 23rd of this month. Contain yourself, and don't include it in your monthly newsletter... otherwise you might not get the response you were thinking (crickets). Also, mind your mouf this month. Be less Erykah Badu (remember that Hitler tweet?) and more Alicia Keys (living her best life and not playing commentator).

CAPRICORN

August beckons you to spend some time alone. You're hyper focused right now and your spirit and mind wont have room for large gatherings. An ex can come back knocking at your door, don't be fooled by their tale of change... and oh it will be good. You left them for a reason, don't forget that! Lastly, watch your spending, save your coins for the Fall as changes are afoot.

AQUARIUS

This August has you at odds. On one hand all you want is to catch up on some rest and that new Netflix show. Make like a cat as they say. But on the other, the recent eclipses have you as the lead in multiple plays... we're not sure how you'll strike balance, but at least you'll be aware of the mood. Lastly, a big opportunity will come your way in the form of a kindred spirit — don't get caught up in the hype. Pay attention, do your research and make sure you're FULLY ready to make a commitment [either in business or in love].

PISCES

We have no good news here Pisces, but we'll keep it 100 with you regardless. You will be feeling maxed out this August, and that's going to suck... That's it. That's the truth. But guess what? After this there's another month called September! In other words, you'll get through it. The semi good news (see how we snuck that in?) is that this month you'll be finally committing to your wellness. Hello Sunday prep meal days! Wassup yoga class! Excuse me for being late meditation! Center yourself in that, and the rest will settle on it's own.
