As we kicked off August, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto are in retrograde. In the middle of the month, Uranus will also join these planets, giving us four retrograde planets.
With all of these retrograde cosmic bodies, we may find ourselves taking a trip down memory lane or feeling the need to revisit the past somehow before we can move forward.
If we are feeling stuck or confused as to how to proceed, revisiting the past under all this retrograde energy may actually give us the clues and guidance we seek.
In addition to the retrograde energy flowing through the cosmic skies, there are also many alignments supporting love and relationships throughout the month.
If you are having relationship issues or want to meet someone new, the whole month provides wonderful, supportive energy. Think about what intention you want to set for your relationships, then watch how the opportunities unfold throughout the month. As we move through the Leo season in particular, we may feel especially confident and daring in our actions, so put that energy to good use!
August also brings the Lionsgate portal, which also coincides this year with the Leo new moon. It is a day when we can connect and have higher frequencies with greater ease. It is also a power day for manifestation work.
Towards the end of the month, a beautiful full moon in Aquarius will sublimate the sky. The energy of this Full Moon is abundant and expansive, allowing us to shine and activate our inner flame.
Overall, August is a month of support that offers opportunities for love, manifestation work, and high frequency energies.
Let’s take a closer look at astrology for August 2021.

Shortly after the Full Moon, the Sun leaves the bold zodiac of Leo and enters the zodiac of Virgo. Virgo refers to a strong, independent person who supplies themselves with supplies.

August 29 – Moon Wobble
When the Sun aligns in a square configuration with the Lunar Nodes, we have what is called a « Wobble » Moon. Oscillations of the moon can cause extreme weather conditions or weather events. As the name suggests, they can also spark a wobbly energy causing us to question or reconsider our direction to go. Whenever the Moon is involved, it is advisable to listen to our intuition and use our feelings as a compass.
