Your monthly stars are like a simple starter course in astrology. Enjoy and when you’re ready to take things to the next level, consider a personal astrology chart consult.
Life may seem to glow this month, or you may feel your plans falling into place. Three planets in Leo can help you make a striking impression at work, or create progress on a professional goal.
Mars in Leo, from August 8 – September 25, is a once in two year’s cycle that bodes well for moving forward at work. If you want a new job, this will be a great month to look for work. You may be invited to contribute to a high profile project, or receive an industry award for a recent success. A professional achievement may attract the attention of those in power, like your boss.
Success and progress at work will be possible, especially if you take action to put plans in motion. The Leo New Moon, August 14 – 16 may bring a fresh start or renewed enthusiasm for your career.

Extra for all signs:
Pay special attention to the topics, themes or areas of life that start to show up – or open up – for you this August. With Jupiter entering Virgo a whole new chapter of life begins.
You’ll take your effort and desire for progress around these emerging topics to new levels when Mars joins Jupiter in Virgo from September 25 – November 11. In this period Venus will also visit Virgo (October 8 – November 8) tripling up the planetary emphasis on one topic or part of your life.
August is a big month where change and transition is possible, especially if you have a strong Jupiter themed chart (if you have lots of planets in Sagittarius or Pisces), or if you have the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) on the angles (including ascendant, IC, descendant or MC).
One stand out planet in August is Mercury in Virgo, August 7 – 27. This is an ideal period in which to organise paperwork, undertake any de-cluttering project, or reorganise and streamline your home or work space. Think recycle, re purpose or re-gift to get rid of stuff you no longer need.
Mercury will make 3 key aspects from Virgo. An opposition to Neptune on August 13 can fog facts, or make it tricky to finalise an agreement that relies on clear information. However, by August 15, when Mercury trines Pluto, an eagle eye for detail can help you take charge of information, dig up forgotten facts or take honesty to a new level.
The most productive and definitive aspect from Mercury in Virgo is a sextile to Saturn, on August 26. This is about making firm, fast and final choices. Any decision made then can be made with confidence, especially if you’ve been thorough in doing your research. Promises made then will last.
