The Truth About August
Libra, your gift is balance – but this month the cosmic scales feel rigged and wobbly. The geo-zenith is spotlighting your relationships, partnerships, and personal values, and the universe isn’t interested in pretty compromises. It’s handing you an emotional sledgehammer to smash illusions, flip power dynamics, and rewrite what “fair” really means. Use it well.
You’re going to have to pick a side this month – and this is not the “let’s keep everyone happy” middle ground you prefer. You are really going to have t pick a side and stand your ground. With dwarf planets Eris and Haumea stirring rebellion and reinvention in your one-on-one zones, expect uncomfortable truths about who’s truly holding power and who’s just playing along to avoid conflict. It might not be you, others are also conflict shy.
Your ruling planet Venus is flirting with Uranus, turning up the volume on surprises in love and money. This isn’t the gentle harmony you dream of but the “hold onto your hat, everything might change” kind of shake-up. Financially, it’s a rollercoaster, especially in joint ventures or shared resources. Be suspicious of sweet deals and double-check the fine print before you sign anything. As if you didn’t already know this.
Relationships will demand brutal honesty, not polite dodges. Old resentments bubble to the surface, and if you keep glossing over them, expect a volcanic eruption rather than a gentle simmer. Your partner is not you – expect emotions. This may be painful, but necessary if you want anything real to survive the shake-out. Therefore speak your truth in your ever balanced way.
Todays takeaway: Libra, it’s time to drop the social pleasantries and start asking, “What do I actually want?” Because playing peacekeeper in a minefield will only get you blown to bits.
