Astrology and birthstones for August: Discover the magic of the stars
The month of the lion: radiant like the tiger’s eye
If you're a Leo born between July 23 and August 22, you're ruled by the Sun, the center of our solar system. Leos are known for their charisma, confidence, and creativity. They're natural leaders who love to shine and be the center of attention. And what better birthstone to represent this vibrant zodiac sign than Tiger's Eye? 
Tiger's eye is a fascinating gemstone that is reminiscent of a tiger's eye with its gold and brown bands. Not only is this stone stunning, but it also has powerful metaphysical properties. It is believed to bring courage, strength, and success to those who wear it. For Leos, Tiger's eye amplifies their natural talents and helps them achieve their goals with determination and confidence.
So if you're a Leo, Tiger's Eye can help you harness your inner power and succeed in all your endeavors. It's the perfect companion for the King or Queen of the Zodiac!
Mercury Retrograde and the Shadow Period: Be Alert!
August 2024 brings us a special cosmic event - Mercury Retrograde. This retrograde period lasts from August 5th to August 28th, but the effects can be felt even before the official start. This is called the Mercury Retrograde Shadow Period, which begins two weeks before the retrograde.
What is Mercury Retrograde?
Mercury retrograde is a time when the planet Mercury appears to move backwards in its orbit. This phenomenon is notorious in astrology because it often leads to communication breakdowns, travel delays, and technical glitches. It's as if the universe is hitting the pause button, telling us to slow down and think.
The Shadow Period: A Small Foretaste
Before Mercury retrograde, we experience the shadow period. During this time, you may notice that things are not going as smoothly as usual. Communication may become unclear, plans may fall apart, and misunderstandings may arise. It is a precursor to the actual retrograde, giving us a taste of what to expect.
This is not the best time to sign new contracts or start new projects, unless it's something you've been planning for a long time or involves an old business partner or friend. Interestingly, there may be a nostalgic revival of old stars and fashion styles when Mercury turns retrograde in Leo.
The karmic encounter between Mars, Jupiter and Saturn
Mark your calendar for August 14th, when Mars and Jupiter will be in Gemini and collide with retrograde Saturn in Pisces. Known as a karmic encounter, this momentous event could bring juicy rumors or revelations with undeniable evidence into the spotlight. It's a cosmic showdown that could reveal who's been hiding behind the scenes. Get ready for some fascinating developments!
New Moon in Leo: New impulses on the horizon
The New Moon in Leo on August 4th is the perfect time to plant the seeds of new ideas and achievements. However, with Mercury retrograde, patience is the order of the day. Your wishes and plans may need more time and refinement before they come to fruition. But don't worry, your efforts will pay off eventually. Just give it a little more time and the finishing touches!
Full Moon in Aquarius: Expect the unexpected
On August 19, the Full Moon in Aquarius brings a blend of the energies of Mercury, Uranus, and Neptune. This cosmic mix could surprise you with sudden financial news or unexpected events. Uranus in Taurus is known for shaking up values and beliefs, and often brings news that challenges your status quo. This Full Moon may feel intense, but it's a necessary step in creating a new structure in your life. Let's get ready to embark on a new journey next month!
Birthstones and zodiac signs: The perfect combination
Leo (July 23 - August 22): Be inspired by the boldness of Tiger's Eye to boost your confidence and attract success.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22): As the month moves into Virgo, peridot becomes your gemstone of choice. This bright green stone promotes healing, relieves stress, and increases clarity.
