Communication might get a bit confusing as Mercury turns retrograde on the 5th. Ex-lovers or former colleagues might reappear. Use this time to reflect and reanalyze, but avoid making major decisions as not all details will be clear. The 7th+8th are brilliant for communication and breakthroughs in partnerships. Despite Mercury being retrograde, you might resolve past disagreements and strengthen your connections. Luck is on your side around the 13th+14th, especially concerning family or home situations. Some of you might decide to renovate or redo your home, bringing positive changes to your living space. Mercury retrograde moves into your 6th House, the 14th prompting you to reorganise your routines and health regimens. While delays and confusion might arise, use these moments to understand what works and what doesn’t. Embrace the flow of the universe.

Around the 15th, you might face a stressful discussion with a family member. Stay calm and avoid taking things personally, especially this month. On the 18th, you might hear from someone regarding a past project or gig. Seize the opportunity—timing is everything. The Full Moon on the 19th brings intense energy. Meditate and listen to your inner self. This is a time to address any mental or nervous issues and let go of what no longer serves you. Transform your dreams and be less rigid. Partnership season officially starts on the 22nd. Engage with new people and be out and about, fostering new connections. Finally, on the 28th, Mercury goes direct, clearing up communication issues. The fog lifts, clarity returns, and it’s full speed ahead into September. This month is about balancing your roots with new relationships. Embrace the changes, connect deeply with partners, and take bold steps towards your dreams.
