Venus retrograde in Leo has been a major source of energy in recent months, and when looking ahead to 2023, it will be one of the pivotal catalysts through which all other changes will be initiated.
On Monday, August 21, Venus emerges from the underworld and spends time in the darkness of the soul before reappearing as a morning star. This is the pinnacle of Venus’ journey because it not only returns to the light, but you can also begin to feel like you are. It’s a time for renewed hope, clarity, and feeling ready to put into action the new awareness of truth that surfaced during Venus’s retrograde.
It squares off with Jupiter in Taurus just as it reemerges into the light. This brings with it both an opportunity for transformation and the stark reality that the world you are reentering now is vastly different from the one you left in July, when Venus first went retrograde. In many ways, it’s not just a new reality, but an entirely new life, hampered only by your human task of aligning your feelings with the life you want to live.
This is not the time to look back, but to look forward with unwavering determination and hope as you perform your ritual outside under the energy of Venus reentering the light and embracing the Sun’s life force.
Venus and Jupiter bring a strong desire for expansion and growth in your intimate relationships. While not everyone will be called to start a new relationship, many will, and those who have formed a more profound bond during this time will be able to celebrate the beginning of an entirely new chapter of connection in their lives. You are now called to recognize that the person with whom you are in a relationship is more than just someone to cuddle and love on. It’s also someone who determines your life path, including the opportunities for growth and development you choose to pursue.
Here is your horoscope for today, August 21, 2023, as the Sun begins a new solar season this month.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Everyone needs a good friend, Aries, and the Libra Moon’s entry into a critical degree today heightens your desire for human interaction and intimate connection. Make plans to reconnect with old friends today. Even if life has become too hectic, seize the day’s opportunities. Begin by re-interacting with people on your Facebook friend list and commenting on LinkedIn posts made by former coworkers.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
All relationships require fine-tuning. The Libra Moon energy of today may assist you in determining how to improve a close friendship that has grown distant. When there are no common interests between friends, they may begin to drift apart. Invite a friend to do something you both enjoy to rekindle your friendship. If you’re still unsure, ask them if they’d like to do something together and get a suggestion.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Today, the Libra Moon completes its transit through your romantic sector, so you may feel compelled to take action to improve your love life. Today, pay close attention to the signals sent by your significant other or love interest. Their body language can teach you a lot. Invite your partner to be more open about where they see the relationship going, especially if you’re ready to take it to the next level.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
The Moon in Libra today energizes your family and home life. Now is an excellent time to organize and create a welcoming environment in your own personal space. You might enjoy thrift shopping or looking for a signature item to spark conversation when entertaining. Prepare a comfort meal at home and relax this evening.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
You’re a social butterfly today, and the Moon in sociable Libra makes you feel more chatty and expressive. Today is ideal for writing or starting a blog. If you enjoy journaling, plan to write down a few events from the day so you can reflect on how much you’ve grown and changed.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
It’s a good idea to examine your spending habits, consider where you can cut back, and then invest what you’ve saved. The Moon in Libra today assists you in emotionally separating yourself from financial habits. You can maintain objectivity and have a clear mental picture of your overall situation. It’s a great day for budgeting and developing a debt-reduction strategy.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
The Moon will remain in your sign for another day. When the Moon is in your sign, it’s a great time to schedule haircuts, nails, and other personal grooming appointments. Today, treat yourself to a luxurious bubble bath and a mini facial spa. Relax and take it easy this evening, pampering yourself so you can wake up rested and relaxed.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Today marks the end of the Moon’s transit through your hidden enemies and endings sector, making it an excellent time to say goodbye. You might be in a relationship that isn’t going as planned. It can be difficult to let go of a relationship, but it is often necessary when your interactions are more harmful than beneficial. Rather than remaining in a toxic relationship, you can postpone the interaction until later. Time can provide much-needed perspective.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Sagittarius, networking can open doors for you, and today’s Libra Moon encourages you to put your hat in the ring in the business world. Send resumes or call recruiters if you’re looking for a new job. If you want to advance in your current company, inquire about promotional opportunities or solicit feedback from a supervisor. If you haven’t been active on LinkedIn in a while, start by following thought leaders in your industry.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
It’s a day for professional growth and discovery, Capricorn. Your career and reputation are highlighted today during the Libra Moon. You may have to attend a meeting where it’s important to present yourself in a professional manner and leave a positive impression. Today you may also realize your true talent and life purpose, including how you’d like to work and what field you would excel in.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
It’s never too late to learn something new, Aquarius — today’s Moon brings you philosophical and higher learning energy. You will enjoy going to a bookstore or researching online courses. Fill out your FAFSA or send inquiries to the universities you want to attend next Spring, Winter, or Fall if you plan to return to college.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
People can be so generous when you least expect it, Pisces. Today, you might find yourself the recipient of an inheritance or a gift. Someone may be looking to rehome an item you require, or they may wish to gift you money in advance to assist you and take advantage of tax benefits. Today has the potential to be a fantastic day full of positive surprises that will increase your wealth.
