August is an interesting month, in limbo between the joy and carefree energy of summer and the upcoming back-to-school season. It's the kind of month where you can drink a pumpkin spice latte in a bikini, or shop for new sweaters before taking a swim. August is also an interesting month cosmically, as we have a lot of planets moving in and out of different signs throughout the weeks, leaving us all on our toes.
It all begins on the 11th when Venus, the planet of style, beauty, love, and appearance, will be in feisty Leo, where the sun entered in late July. This is a great time to end summer with a bang: Think bold prints (especially leopard), bright colors, and pieces you can move in during end-of-summer activities, from concerts to creative outings. You'll especially want to embrace this energy during the full moon in social Aquarius on the 11th.
Then our style will be all over the place when Mars, the planet of passion, energy, and drive, enters flighty Gemini on the 20th, where it will stay for the rest of 2022. This is a great opportunity to explore different trends and play with your aesthetic. However, things start to settle down when the sun enters modest Virgo on the 22nd, encouraging us to tone it down a little with earth tones, subtle touches, and being intentional about how we choose to make a statement. As Mercury moves into Libra on the 25th, we all get a balancing lesson as we try to bring our summer favorites into the new season. Get creative—fashion truly doesn't have any rules, and you can totally wear bright pink long after Labor Day if that's what you're feeling.
So what do the cosmos have planned for your wardrobe this month? Check your stylescope below, and remember to check your sun, rising, and Venus sign to get the best insight (and more outfit ideas).
