The Moon will intensify your emotions, enabling you to embrace change and growth in your romantic life. During this time, you will be asked to commit to what you desire, as well as choose to move forward in your life in some way. This may not always be in an obvious way, but rather an internal shift that encourages you to believe in your dreams and your ability to manifest the love you’ve always dreamed of.
August begins with the First Quarter Moon in Scorpio, offering you a chance to set intentions, choose your fate, and focus on what is ahead, rather than what is behind you. As this lunation peaks, you are being given the opportunity to harness the magic of new beginnings in your romantic life. This energy is intensified as Mercury cazimi in Leo occurs, marking a new cycle for the planet of communication. While Mercury will still be retrograde until August 10, today offers you a turning point. It’s not about going over past affairs any longer, but about setting new intentions and focusing on how to manifest the future that you dream of. Be sure that you’re mindful of any choices that arise today and recognize that while the universe can offer you a new beginning, you are the only one who can choose it.

You get to decide what you will accept, Libra. A turning point has finally arrived, and you are realizing that you have power over what you will choose to accept in your life.
This will involve a romantic relationship or situation, especially with Chiron, Saturn and Neptune retrograde in your house of love. Remember that just because someone says they love you doesn’t mean it’s the love that you need.

Scorpio

There’s no excuse, Scorpio. You are here at this moment because you are ready for it. Hiding from the truth hasn’t worked, nor has trying to talk yourself into a life that isn’t meant for you.
Try to embrace all that you’ve learned in the last few months so that you can realize there are no excuses for why you are unfulfilled in love. If you want something, or someone in particular, you must choose to go after it.
Use the energy today to choose yourself, your dreams, and let go of the excuses that are blocking your happiness.
Sagittarius

It’s time to trust your intuition, Sagittarius. You must start listening to that voice within instead of thinking about all the reasons why it’s incorrect.
There have been numerous challenges that have surrounded you recently, especially in your romantic life.
While you’ve been focused on events and conversations, you’ve been ignoring your most valuable asset: your intuition. Try to use the energy today to choose to listen to your inner self and let yourself start dreaming about what your life would look like if anything were possible, because it is.
Capricorn

Let go of the old, Capricorn. This doesn’t have to mean a break-up is in store, but there is someone in your life who has overstayed their welcome.
This person may be a friend or an acquaintance, but they’ve brought greater stress than it was worth, and they’ve distracted you from focusing on what’s most important.
Try to use the First Quarter Moon in Scorpio to choose to let go of this person, as it will help free up your energy for greater changes to come.
Aquarius

Quiet the noise, Aquarius. You can’t let the noise of the outside world distract you from what is genuinely of value to you. Yet, this also comes down to you recognizing what a distraction is. While your career has always been important to you, you also need to be sure you’re investing energy into your romantic life.
You don’t always need to reply to that email after hours or make yourself available. Just because it worked when you were single, doesn’t mean it’s going to work with a committed relationship. Be mindful of what you let interfere with the time you spend with your partner.
Pisces

Embrace the new, Pisces. The First Quarter Moon in Scorpio rises in your house of lucky new beginnings, while Mercury cazimi occurs in your house of change.
You are being urged to change your life and your relationship for the better. While you may have gotten into a rut recently, it’s essential to focus on those moments in which your soul feels fully alive.
You don’t have to continue anything just because it’s what you’re used to. Use this as an opportunity to recalibrate your relationship and infuse it with some new and exciting energy. Whether it involves a day trip or an international relocation, you are being primed for a new adventure.
