4 Zodiacs Who Need To Self-Reflect In August

GEMINI

Gemini needs to be honest about their own subtext. To dig deeper into the things they have been telling others, and more importantly, telling them themselves, and push past the surface level meaning to how they actually feel about a relevant situation. In some ways, Gemini is trying to rationalize their way to what they think is a mature reaction, but the truth is they are stifling their authentic emotions in response to the topic. They need to ask why they’re saying they’re fine when they are upset, why they are telling people it doesn’t matter when they go home and cry about the same thing in private. The choices they’re making to downplay or obfuscate their reality are not productive in any way, especially not for their own well-being.

CANCER

Cancer needs to self-reflect on their own desires this month. To really take a hard look at what they’re doing and what they’re not doing and decide if that aligns with the way they actually want to be living their life. In some ways they are just phoning it in, and in others, they are letting others guide the their path forward. It doesn’t matter if it’s as small as what to eat for dinner or as big as where they want to live. It’s time for Cancer to reclaim their ability to make choices for themselves. To say, “I want this” without any need to justify their preferences. Cancer doesn’t need a reason at all to take the reins of their own life and steer them towards the path that is calling them.

SAGITTARIUS

Sagittarius can be a bit of a hothead. Can get overwhelmed and pop their top and say things they don’t mean when they’re overwhelmed. This month they need to articulate the specific feeling that are driving them to that point of overload. To learn to establish boundaries and advocate for themselves and tell other people what they want instead of expecting them to guess or read it in a crystal ball. This tough guy act is fooling no one. A sensitive soul is hiding behind all of that anger, trying to protect itself from what it perceives to be a source of vulnerability or danger. It’s time for Sagittarius to learn better coping skills, to mature in the way they approach conflict, and participate in serious discussions with autonomy and confidence.

LIBRA

Libra needs to work on self-forgiveness this month. On reframing their past mistakes and shame in the light of lessons learned. To acknowledge that sometimes in life we have to do things the wrong way in order to realize what the ‘right’ way is. How immaturity and inexperience can both contribute to the decisions we make, and how they have only ever been able to do they best they can, at the time they are in, with the skills that they have. There are things they know better than to do today, that they were totally uninformed on in years past. There are plenty of things they’ve forgiven others for, that they still haven’t forgiven themselves for. This is the month to eliminate the double standard and create space and grace for some self-empathy.
