August is highlighted by a Blue Moon, along with Mercury turning direct and later entering its own sign of Virgo. August begins and ends with two full moons, which are important points of reassessment that indicate how far we have come and where we still need to go. Creative and emotional energies are very strong this month. We are still under the July New Moon in Cancer, which brings issues connected with security, home and family.
