If you re feeling disoriented as we go into August, you re not alone. In the blink of an eye, three planets changed signs at the end of July: Mercury moved into Leo, Mars barreled into health-conscious Virgo, and global Jupiter ended its brief but magical denial tour through the Pisces prism and snapped back into coolheaded Aquarius. We are firmly in the Aquarian Decade now, and August will remind us that the Water Bearer has more to spill from its amphora.
Here we sit, facing a scene that looks somewhat like the start of 2021: Both expansive Jupiter and restrictive Saturn are in Aquarius, the air sign that rules science, society, public policy, and groups.
