Yahoo Lifestyle What August's 6-Planet Parade Means for You, Based on Your Zodiac Sign
As a 6-planet alignment takes place on Aug. 28, PEOPLE's resident astrologer Kyle Thomas says it's a great time for manifesting dreams and desires
Another planet parade is lining up in the sky in August.
On Aug. 28, an alignment of six planets will be visible, including Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn. The recent super blue moon will also be visible in the sky after peaking on Aug. 19.
Just like the parade of planets in June, the upcoming alignment will affect us astrologically.
“A parade of planets occurs when we find many planets in our solar system aligned in one portion of the sky,” says PEOPLE’s resident astrologer, Kyle Thomas. “Sometimes this creates a stellium — a grouping of three or more planets in one zodiac sign — but this year’s ‘parade of planets’ won’t be one.”
Thomas points out that several planets will be in the same zodiac sign during the event, including Mars and Jupiter in Gemini and Neptune and Saturn in Pisces, which will make the energy of the event "especially prominent.”
“Mars and Jupiter are still very close in the sky (having been conjunct on Aug. 14), so their union of passion and desire can fuel us to our personal and professional goals,” Thomas says. “With Neptune and Saturn in Pisces (although not conjunct), we must blend our understanding of reality and imagination in ways that can truly aid us in manifesting.”
Ultimately, Thomas says the parade of planets will be a great time for putting our goals into action. “We must open ourselves to new ideas and engage with people to expand our minds,” he says, adding, “communicating is the key to success.”
Here’s how the parade of planets in August will affect each zodiac sign, according to Thomas’ readings.
Aries (March 21 to April 19)
This time is all about connection, Aries. “Close friends could bring you insight on how you can release the past and grow from it,” Thomas says. “You will certainly feel a bit reflective at this time, but once you’ve taken some time to debate your strategies, you will be able to speak with confidence.”
Taurus (April 20 to May 20)
Break out of your shell, Taurus. As you work toward embracing “your ultimate authenticity,” Thomas advises you “to look at your stability in life and the foundation on which you’ve been standing.” He adds, “The key to embracing a new chapter will be by looking at your long-term goals and engaging with the friends and connections who can aid you in the pursuit of them.”
Gemini (May 21 to June 20)
Prepare to live life fully during this time, Gemini. According to Thomas, “You could even have opportunities for a bit of travel or to socialize and connect with dear friends who adore you.” He adds that while the universe is “throwing a lot on your plate right now — especially in regard to your professional ascent and goals,” it’s important to “remember that life is best when you’re able to not only build toward success but live in the moment.”
Cancer (June 21 to July 22)
Thomas advises that Cancer signs lean into their “spirituality and intuition” during this time. “So much of our celestial fleet is invigorating you with a profound connection to synchronicity,” Thomas says. “Pay attention to messages coming through — in omens, signs from spirit guides, angel numbers and dreams — and you could unlock new wisdom on not only how to build your life but make more money.”
Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22)
It’s been a wild few weeks for you Leo, but luckily Thomas says “a revelatory moment” will occur soon that will put everything into perspective. “There is so much support for you around reaching toward major lifelong hopes, dreams and aspirations at this time, so you must be strategic on who you link up with,” he adds. “Just make sure that you can truly be on the same page and trust one another, especially if you’re asking for aid in your career.”
Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
As you step into your zodiac season, Virgo, the end of the month could have you assessing your professional life and relationships. “In truth, there’s a bit more favor for you when it comes to career growth and stepping up the industry ladder,” Thomas notes. “Partnership is especially important to you now — so you could find that you need the support of a sweetheart as you put in extra hours or apply for the next big job or that a professional collaborator is pushing you to move in new directions.” He adds that if you “take chances, but still think of the long-term, you could truly transform your life.”
Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
The world is your oyster, Libra. According to Thomas, “the cosmos could be granting you some opportunities to expand your perspective on what life has to offer.” However, he adds that while you may be juggling some “major responsibilities,” if you build a healthy work and life, “adventure can be found.”
Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Your personal life is taking center stage, Scorpio, including romance and love, true partnership and “a desire for greater closeness and intimacy,” according to Thomas. “In truth, Scorpios in relationships will fare better now around building their connections or facing the facts about how they need to build their relationships or ask for more support,” he notes. “This may even be around how you want to make a shift in your career, but you need to find the support from your personal life to reach toward it.”
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
For Sagittarius signs, the universe will be adding “greater emphasis” on your personal life in regard to family and partnership. “It’s clear that you need to juggle many different factors at this time, but the key to doing so is thinking outside of the box in regard to how you can be flexible with your work and life balance, especially with your routines and daily responsibilities,” Thomas says.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Like your Earth element, now is the time to get grounded, Capricorn. “The key to truly building your life now is to analyze exactly how you can get from A to Z,” Thomas says, adding that “strategy and precision come naturally to you, but with the universe throwing so much on your docket, you need to be practical.” However, once you’ve ironed out a plan and clearly “delegated and communicated to others,” you will find that “you’re on a whole new playing ground.”
Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
According to Thomas, Aquarius signs should look out for “significant opportunities to improve your personal and romantic life.” He notes that “singles will fare especially well now on finding a love connection or linking up with many new suitors,” adding that “one of these individuals could become a long-term partner,” though he advises to not “rush forward too quickly.” Above all, he suggests you “take some time to assess your self-worth and how you express it in your connections.”
Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20)
According to Thomas, “you’re feeling more gravitas when it comes to how you are putting effort into building your empire” during this time, Pisces. “As much as you’re craving a bit of fun, though, the end of August is once again encouraging you to buckle down and get to business,” Thomas notes. “Expect some happy news around home or family near this time, such as a breakthrough to work more from your residence or even that you get to spend more time with your kindred.”
