What Your Zodiac Sign Can Manifest On August 6, During The Aries Moon

Amid periods of reflection, there are brilliant jewels of awareness just waiting to be excavated from your subconscious. Even though Venus is retrograde in Leo, and Mercury is set to begin soon, its retrograde doesn’t mean these planets don’t offer a powerful time for manifesting. The purpose of retrogrades isn’t to mess you up or cause obstacles but to help you slow down so that you can ensure you are on the path that is meant for you.

Venus began its retrograde at the end of July 2023 and is moving through the underworld as it helps you become more aware of your choices, feelings and desires for the future. On Sunday, August 6, 2023, Venus retrograde in Leo will align with the Aries Moon giving you an auspicious time to manifest clarity and help you to understand and embrace the truth your emotions represent. This might not look like direct action, but it will help you see more of why you’ve made the choices and how to do things differently.

During its retrograde journey, Venus disappears from the sky as it delves into the underworld and helps you to embrace what has been lurking beneath the surface of what you were ready or able to acknowledge. Not until August 22 does it reemerge as a morning star, marking this time as a powerful one for coming to terms with all Venus represents in your life. Your manifestations under this energy will be best done in quiet, during the nighttime hours, to embrace more of the darkness Venus is currently moving through while setting an intention not just for more profound understanding but hope the light will soon return.
