KnowAries Wknd Scope August 19 – 21, 2022
These final days of Leo Season are all about checking in with ourselves regarding ways we consciously or unconsciously keep ourselves small.

Mars will be in Gemini for 7 months, and you’ll notice new aspects of your personality emerging during this transit. Enjoy this free-spirited energy, and be open to completely changing your life path in the process. You’re ruled by Mars, the Planet of Action, so this is truly a time for reinvention!
MONTHLY HOROSCOPE
KnowAries August ’22 Scope
Key Themes: Self-reflection, thinking before acting, shifting global landscapes, love
Aries, with Jupiter and Chiron retrograde in your sign… the month of August may not have the same fiery flare of momentum that’s been consistent within other years. This doesn’t have to be a bad thing by any means – and the month will still likely carry a sense of reassuring warmth.
We’ve just had a major collective conjunction where your planetary ruler (Mars) met with Uranus on the lunar north node. This meeting created quite a portal of evolution – that will last for the first few weeks of August. It evoked an energy of letting go of the past, South Node energies. That means any restrictions, limitations, or beliefs that have been holding you back… as well as stepping into new, expansive and innovative ways of improving your overall quality of life.
Aries, the slower pace of August will actually benefit you in integrating the subtle transformations taking place on an energetic level. It will also be a time for self-reflection, lots of hydration, as well as conscious action. With the key word here being: Conscious. Mercury entering Virgo on August 4th means you’ll naturally be feeling a little more analytical, and weighing up the pros and cons in your decision making process.
The Full Moon in Aquarius on the 11th will cultivate and expand a similar energy… where all of a sudden life feels a little less personal – and like more of a chemical reaction. Aries, the beautiful thing is that you see life through this lens of objectivity every now and then, it can become easier to add and subtract elements in order to create your dream formula. Venus in Leo from the 11th will evoke the typical Leo Season vibes, as well as a feeling of warmth, and celebratory beauty. This could lead to some spontaneous and heart-felt demonstrations, and it could be a time to open your heart up to love and meeting someone new, if you feel so inclined!
Yet when the sun enters Virgo on the 22nd, you’ll be shifting your approach from the wider picture into a much more micro vantage point. There are benefits to this, and it’s kind of perfect timing… because on the 24th, a Uranus retrograde through Taurus will be shaking up realms of finance, resources, and abundance across the world. Stay tuned for any big global shifts around currency, agriculture, and economies, because this is the planetary signature for it. It’s not a time to make any rash decisions, but to rather observe and remain adaptable. As a global collective, we’re shifting landscapes within 2022, and you’ll do well to reflect this in your choices Aries.
The New Moon on the 27th reinforces this idea of waiting, before acting. Gestures don’t need to be grand, impulsive or radical for them to make a difference, or to evoke a change. Rather this month, you’ll be learning the wisdom of tweaking and building your life one tiny detail and brick at a time.

About Aries
Element: Fire
Mode: Cardinal
Ruling Planet: Mars, the Planet of Action
Where You’ll Find Them: Owning a start-up, winning an athletic competition, and/or skydiving
What They Avoid: Diving into the emotional depths or having to explain themselves
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and they make their mark by letting action and passion take the lead in all that they do. Wherever Aries goes, they do with a sense of purpose and ambition. They are the zodiac’s natural leaders and warriors — always seeking to be #1 and excel. As a Fire Sign, Aries learns through direct experience better than anything else. They have little patience for people or situations that are overly emotional or draining. They’d rather get lost in the fire than have to be overwhelmed by feelings. But eventually, Aries has to face their own emotions, and it’s better done sooner rather than later.
Aries thrives in a career that lets them call the shots and be in positions of leadership. For this reason, many Aries make amazing entrepreneurs. Because Aries is all about action, they also succeed in physical activities such as team sports. Being ruled by Mars, the Planet of Action, Aries is full of energy, and if they don’t find a great outlet for it they can become restless, angry or impulsive. Fortunately, when Aries does get angry (they have a short temper), they aren’t known for holding a grudge like some of the other zodiac signs. They live much more in the now moment than most signs, so they know that holding on to emotions only weighs them down. Still, it’s best not to mess with Aries — they’re fierce competitors and they can intimidate you into submission if they so chose.
As friends, Aries will be the leader of the pack, always finding a new adventure or thrill to experience. Aries can be competitive in friendship though, and this can sometimes cause tension in their relationships. For the most part, it’s all in good fun, and as long as Aries avoids being overly self-centered, they’ll attract fulfilling and exciting friendships. Aries does bore easily, and they seek people who can keep up with their passionate and fiery nature.
As lovers, Aries will at first avoid admitting to their deeper emotions. They crush hard and fall in love easily, but it’s not always for the long-haul. Aries has high standards and is often desired, so it takes them some time to commit. But when an Aries falls in love, they transform into an utter romantic, wooing their lover and treating them differently than everyone else. Just watch out for that infamous Aries temper — it can come out of nowhere and be completely destructive. Aries tends to forgive and forget more easily than the other signs though, and this helps them make amends in love — unless you’ve crossed them one too many times. Then the Aries will move on, without looking back, leaving you in the dust.
