If you feel like you’ve had to put your artistic impulses and appetite for fun on hold while you tend to the more monotonous aspects of life, you might be ready to shake things up around August 3 when the full moon is in your fifth house of romance and self-expression. Letting go of your rigorous, structured schedule and allowing room for spontaneity now can offer emotional fulfillment and bolster relationships all around. 

And from August 7 to September 6, your ruling planet, social Venus, moves through your tenth house of career, and you may feel like a complete rock star on the job when you’re around colleagues and higher-ups. This is a lucky time to initiate a brainstorm, research ways you can advance your career, and then chat about your opportunities with colleagues.
