DON’T: Isolate From Others

Despite being the sign that rules friendships, Aquarius is often the lone wolf of the zodiac. But rather than retreat from others this month, connect in your community. Organize an outing with your besties.

DO: Nurture Relationships

Venus, the planet of all things love and affection, enters sultry Leo in August, making this steamy lunation ripe for romance. The flirtatious transit could give you confidence to make the first move.

DON’T: Ignore Emotions

Full moons heighten our feelings, so things could feel extra sensitive around Aug. 11, especially since la Luna is in analytical Aquarius. Allow yourself to feel your emotions without intellectualizing them.

Camaraderie is important to Aquarius, and this lunation is a great time to reflect on relationships. How have they helped you grow? If there are toxic friends in your circle, now’s the time to let them go.
