Here's How The New Moon On August 8 Will Affect You If You're An Aquarius

There's a new moon on August 8, 2021, and it's the perfect time for setting goals, planning for the future, and manifesting the things you want most out of life (via The Aligned Life). This particular moon also happens to fall on the same day as the "lion's gate portal," which is said to be one of the luckiest events of the entire year. "The lion's gate portal is an opening for high-frequency, high-vibrational energies — infused completely with Sirian energy — to flood down upon the Earth," ascension guide and intuitive healer Laura Brown revealed to Bustle. "The lion's gate portal occurs when the Earth and the Sirius star system are aligned," Brown continued. "Astrologically, this portal is called the lion's gate portal due to the sun being in the sign of Leo."

The new moon falls under the sign of Leo in August, which brings with it potential for wealth, passion, confidence, and self-expression. "Leo is a raging fire sign, and its energy can attract all it desires like a moth to a flame," Brown said, encouraging those willing to use the number eight in their manifesting and intention setting for the month. For Aquarius, August could prove to be a month full of love.

According to Bustle, those born under the sign of Aquarius (January 20 to February 18) may find their romantic relationships heating up with the new moon. The Leo passion vibes will be working overtime for Aquarius as they find themselves connecting with people on a spiritual level. Even though Aquarius isn't known for sharing their feelings freely, they may find that they're being pulled to open up a bit during the new moon on August 8, 2021. "Although you may not express it to others, you desire love and partnership on a deep, soulful level," astrologer Ellen Bowles told the outlet. "Speak from the heart and be transparent about your feelings."

Vogue noted that if Aquarius isn't in a romantic relationship, their connections could be forged with friends or co-workers. It could be the right time to add a partner to your business, or even work on manifesting your perfect partner. Perhaps it's time to also let go of negative feelings towards an old enemy, which will open you up to making important new relationships in the future. It seems that Aquarius will have some soul searching to do during the new moon, but their spiritual journey will help lead them to inner peace.
