Weekly Horoscope for August 13: Channel the Lion.

August 12, 2023

The famous regality of the Lion has been honored for centuries, and this raw energy is especially potent at this point in time. With a spicy new moon in Leo arriving on August 16, we will be invigorated to step into the spotlight, express ourselves, and pursue our heart’s desires. However, the cosmic outlook of this lunation is especially mixed, with positive and challenging energy to navigate. Not only will the new moon be square Uranus, causing havoc, shocking news, and outbursts, but it will also be in a weak square with Jupiter. This will make us more indulgent and prone to overconfidence, greed, and selfishness, which may trigger our rebellious edge most of all. Luckily, the new moon is united with Venus, which can bring a touch of beauty and pleasure to our weeks ahead as long as we are willing to practice temperance, grounding, and moderation.

MANTRA

I will rule my life like a glorious kingdom. I will be a benevolent ruler at all times.
