What is the August Season of Prosperity?

Leo to Virgo: An Energetic Shift

As the sun moves from vibrant Leo into detail-focused Virgo, August’s energy transforms from bold self-expression to grounded fine-tuning. This cosmic transition encourages you to show up authentically, then refine and adjust your plans for sustainable results.

Key Astrological Events

Mercury Retrograde and Its Practical Lessons

August kicks off with Mercury retrograde in Leo, prompting us to review our communication, revisit intentions, and make micro-adjustments for authentic self-expression. This energy invites reflection and clarity.

• Course-correct as needed: August is about moving closer to your goals, making adjustments, and not giving up—especially as disruptions test your resolve.

Quotes of Wisdom

“The season of prosperity is that flow, that reciprocity—how am I showing up in the world, and how am I deepening to set intentions and manifest?”

“Uranus is about, how can you make sure that you are true to yourself? How can you break through to you? This is the reason I’ve been naming the year Breakthrough to You.”
