The Limitation You Can (And Will) Overcome This August, According To Your Zodiac Sign

August opens with a challenge to every zodiac. That’s because Venus, the planet of love and wealth, forms squares to both restrictive Saturn and delusional Neptune. Pushing past limiting beliefs results in tremendous liberation this August. To discover which area of life you’re being invited to expand, keep reading. Although discarding these convictions will feel scary at first, the benefits will be undeniable. Get ready to level up!

Aries

Treating home like a haven from uncertainty is keeping you stuck. To become the free spirit your zodiac embodies, put some distance between you and your childhood. This distance could be physical, emotional, spiritual—or all three! Pattern your behavior after people you admire, whether they are artists, athletes, public figures, or friends. During this period of experimentation, turn a deaf ear to commentary by friends and family. You’re the only one in charge of your life.

Taurus

If you’re not interested in what’s popular or socially acceptable, break away from it. Don’t attend events just because everybody else is. Stop watching shows that you find boring or silly. If you belong to a book group that always picks dumb material, quit. Focus on the hobbies and studies that fill you with excitement, even if everyone else finds these interests bizarre or stupid. You don’t need to justify your choices to anyone!

Gemini

What you value is radically different than what the culture prizes. That’s perfectly fine. There’s absolutely no reason to pursue social conventions that leave you cold. Instead of buying a car, move to a city with lots of public transit. Alternatively, get around via bicycle. Does the idea of owning a home make you claustrophobic? Rent your place, join a commune, or be nomadic. Is the thought of marriage a drag? Craft personal relationships that are founded on freedom. Others will question your lifestyle, which will cause your star to rise, instead of fall. 

Cancer

As the nurturer of the zodiac, it’s difficult for you to be selfish. Your instinct is to look after others, rather than attend your own needs. This zodiac, you’re being urged to satisfy your needs. Whether this means choosing the food, movies, and outings you prefer or spending time on your own is unimportant. The critical thing is to let others fend for themselves while you revel in choices that make you happy. Put guilt on the back burner this August.

Leo

Although you love basking in the glow of the spotlight, it’s important to keep your deepest desires a secret this month. Keep quiet about lofty goals, impossible dreams, and daring projects. The last thing you need is to be ridiculed for your plans. Even well-meaning relatives will think they’re doing you a favor by talking you out of an idea. Therefore, it’s better to keep your own counsel as you learn a foreign language, plan to move abroad, or apply to academic programs.

Virgo

Friends that have become overly reliant on you will wear on your nerves. Be ready to refuse requests for help, money, or emotional support. You work hard to create restful stability for yourself. This is the reason why chaotic people are drawn to you like a magnet. While you take great pride in coming to the rescue of your nearest and dearest, there is a limit to your financial and emotional resources. Spend this August reveling in the peaceful life you’ve created, even it means turning needy people from your door. 

Libra

Pouring all your energy into your public image has become exhausting. While you enjoy getting fame and acclaim for your charm, creativity, and intelligence, you could benefit from some private time. Sneaking away to a secluded getaway allows you to rest and relax without worrying what others will think. Give yourself permission to go a few days without showering, dress in comfortable clothing, and entertaining unpopular ideas. The world won’t fall apart and you’ll feel tremendously refreshed.

Scorpio

A passionate person like you needs to lead a life of conviction. Lately, however, you have been pressured to conform for the sake of the group. Trying not to rock the boat has been exhausting. Use this August to recommit to the beliefs that make life meaningful. If that means challenging distasteful ideas, calling out ignorant statements, or defying stupid rules, so be it. You may not be the most popular figure at work, but that’s better than feeling like a hypocrite. 

Sagittarius

Conquering debt or getting a loan will be challenging. You will find the financial resources you need as soon as you stop beating yourself up for owing money. In truth, there are a lot of people in your exact situation. The abundance you seek will flow in when you practice unconditional self-love and acceptance. Know that if you desire something that you are worthy of it. You don’t need to work, suffer, or sacrifice to enjoy the creature comforts you want. 

Capricorn

Even an ambitious person like you has a right to a luxurious and decadent love life. This August, give yourself permission to focus on an attentive romantic partner. If you’re single, make more time to go out, meet people, and date. Do you have a partner? Take this opportunity to enjoy some time away with the one you love, even if it means hiring someone to take care of your plants, pets, and children. Getting away from the old routine will cause your passion for each other to reignite.

Aquarius

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to work around the clock to prosper. Start looking for ways to make passive income. This will allow you to travel, create art, and make friends while money flows into your bank account. Are you in a dead-end industry? Master some emerging technology that allows you to command high prices for a relatively small amount of work. Cutting back your work hours will allow you to adopt a healthier lifestyle this August. 

Pisces

There’s nothing wrong with indulging in fun, romance, and games! Let other people purse their lips and call you lazy. You’ll be too busy enjoying yourself to care. Feel free to splurge on luxury items while you’re at it. Giving yourself gifts will help you attract further abundance. That’s because you’ll start getting used to being someone who enjoys the finer things in life. When you become a person who embraces joy, the means to lead that existence will arrive.
