August 2nd Zodiac

August 2nd is, as every 2nd of every month, a date to follow the initial spark. While Leos born at this time still have their incredible leadership abilities, their role isn’t to move ahead without every looking back, but to sense the atmosphere, connect with people intimately, and find the striving of their Soul that makes them unique. They are to be tender in their ways, aware of their sensitivity and their emotional world.

August 2nd Horoscope

The beauty and the challenge of this planetary row is in the passion it carries one's way.

As they stop to listen to their inner needs, they will understand others better, and be able to hear and express their feelings, gathering followers and inspiring others to be exceptional and as unique as they are.

As they grow older, they learn how important their gentle approach to Self really is. When they get out of the structure of family and any home that isn’t their own, they learn exactly how much rest and alone time they need to be fully functional with other people. Sexuality is a matter of feelings and they are to approach it in the finest of their senses, ready to explore just how far they can go respectful of boundaries of their partner, and their own walls and barriers.
