How The August New Moon Will Affect Each Zodiac Sign

With two full supermoons bookending the month and the dreaded return of Mercury retrograde, don’t be surprised if your end-of-summer blues are heightened by the many shifts in energy occurring during the month of August. We also have a new moon in Leo, which arrives on Aug. 16 at 5:38 a.m. ET, and while you’re probably itching for a break from all major celestial events, this lunation is about to bring some much-needed clarity to a certain aspect of your life. The new moon will affect each zodiac sign differently, so if you’re ready to face the lunar event head-on, this lunation horoscope can help you prepare.

New moons are all about new beginnings, and the Aug. 16 occurrence will be no different. But a kickstart to your next chapter isn’t all that lies ahead. According to astrologer Catherine Gerdes, la luna will be trining the north node and Chiron will be in Aries, so you can expect to experience some “moments of healing or an exacerbation of old wounds” alongside your fresh start.

“Whether in the form of current relationships or the past returning, old lessons will likely resurface,” Gerdes tells Bustle. “Take the lessons as they come right now, but it’s not a time to seek external assurance of your worthiness — and many are bound to take that route with this erraticism of Uranus and Lilith uprooting insecurities.” The expert also warns that this lunation won’t just affect romantic relationships, but professional and familial connections as well.

Though the consequences of la luna might sound intimidating, there’s nothing to worry about. As long as you’re prepared for how the new moon will affect your sign, you’ll be able to tackle this lunation with the grace and confidence of a true Leo.
