As summer ‘17 comes to a close, it's time to start thinking bigger picture.
According the spiritual adviser Lisa Greenfield,
this month will truly ask you "What's your style?" It's beyond the
clothes you wear (although they play a significant role). The Mercury
Retrograde and Eclipses of August will push us all to question our norm
and express a new side of ourselves. For some, it's a quiet inner shift.
For others, it's a massive tidal wave of boundary testing.
Acing
August's trials includes figuring out what makes you come alive and
expressing your truest self. A great way to do this: add something new
to your wardrobe.

You may feel pretty comfortable with how and where you
shine in the world, but you have more to discover. Mercury Retrograde
says dig deeper and look at your shadow and your ego. Here's a secret:
You're magnificent even when you are selfish, thoughtless and a little
careless with other people. So own your dark side with a black ensemble
like
Jourdan Dunn's to show your courage. That's your
best gift, never mind that it comes with flaws. So wear your whole self
with pride and use fashion to make a fabulous statement.

Your inner critic is going to get a public airing, so
understand that judgement of yourself and others are merely the starting
point for improving your relations with others. The trick is to add
compassion and empathy. So take a good look at your magnificent body,
just as it is and find something that shows off the part of you that
makes you proud, like
Zendaya in her off-shoulder stunner. It will remind you to start off your improvement process by appreciating what's there first.

Libra
You are a star this month! You've got so much going for
you. Your hard work is paying off with some inspired moments. Don't be
too quick to push back any surprises. You have to believe in magic in
order to see the magic around you. So let yourself be lit up with
possibility and don't get too caught up in in planning. Find something
to channel your inner goddess like
Kim Kardashian's glittering skirt and wear it to remind you that dreams really do come true.

Scorpio
Pace yourself! Good
luck is headed your way by the end of the year. In the meantime, you
need quiet time to dig deep and discover hidden facets of who you are.
Once you get up close and personal with the most true you, you can start
really expressing yourself. It's not a quick process, so choose one
simple to reveal the new you. The world will see just how much light
there is in your dark depths. A subtle pop of color like Hailey Baldwin's perfect pink purse against her neutrals align with your coming-out phase.

Sagittarius
My wandering one, you've
got electric changes pulsing through your veins this month. There is
good news headed your way and you'll want to celebrate in style. Don't
shy away from your unmistakable radiance. Be bold with it like Rita Ora!
Just keep in mind, this is a bumpy month for some of your friends and
family so be thoughtful about how you share your good mood. A little
consideration goes a long way. You'll find yourself spreading good
vibes, instead of making enemies out of those stuck in a painful moment.

Define your style with
courage. You are going to need to pick your way through some challenging
moments. If you can let go of the ego's demand for perfection, you can
let go of all that control and instead trust yourself moment by moment.
If you let yourself have moments where you don't have it all together
you may find there's a lot more support for you than you ever knew. Your
friends won't think less of you. They will only love you more once they
see that you're human too. Get comfortable like Suki Waterhouse. Perfection is boring, after all.

Aquarius
You've got to feel your
way through this month, and warning: your logic is going to mess you up
every time. Practical has a place only after your heart chooses what is
right for you. You're rational, we know. It's going to take some serious
support to help you let go. Put on your favorite T-shirt like Chloe Grace to remind you to relax. You've got so much more to offer the world when you let things play out.

Pisces
There's good news and
bad news. Bad news first, you're going to have to be patient for the
things you really want. Mercury Retrograde wants you to stand up for
yourself more than once and practice, practice, practice. The good news
is you are going to have some wonderful support to help you get through
the frustration of people testing your boundaries. In fact, you may
find yourself having some fun in the sun once you stand your ground with
those you hold dear. Put on sunglasses like Olivia Palermo to express your faith in the brightest possible future while seeing the next step in soft light.

Aries
You're breaking down
barriers and opening up new chapters in your life! In fact, a fresh
start all the way around is at hand. It's a month to add some pop to
your style. Go bold, because there is no hiding all the changes in your
world. A new wardrobe may be in order--one that's more suited to the
life you have opening up in front of you. You'll discover hidden facets
of you to your delight as well as those around you. Red, orange and
yellow are the perfect colors to make your smile even brighter. Wear it
proudly like Reese Witherspoon!

Taurus
I won't lie, you've got
some bumps to navigate this month, but you're doing it in style. In
fact, you are going to realize you're pretty good on your feet and
discover how well you can let go of control. There's adventure ahead.
The eclipses help you remember that loss of control is not the same as
loss of power. If someone else loses it, you can calmly steer out of the
storm and into smoother waters. You've got this, so take a lap in a
stunning red dress like Olivia Culpo and the world won't be able to take their eyes off of you. Mistakes fade besides the bold pop of color that shouts courage.

Gemini
You've got magic
happening for you. Mercury Retrograde is going to teach you just how
many sides you have, and it may be more than two. You're multi-faceted,
so you are going to positively glitter this month. There may be
darkness around you that requires your bright light. Stay focused on
learning how to be brilliant for a purpose and let that be the example others see. Put on your highest heels, best metallic sparkler and stand out like Heidi Klum, because the world needs to be reminded that the worst things can turn out well with a little sparkle.

Cancer
Patience is your best
defense this month. A lot of people are going to be challenged and need
you to show them how to sidestep the drama, walk around the ego and stay
focused on your own lessons rather than getting caught up in the storm.
Your challenge is to then share more of you with the world. Little by
little, be your strong and wise self, trusting how much you add to
everything. You don't need more than a soft and sumptuous dress like Olivia Munn's to show the benefit of simply being yourself.
Now, you're all set up to ace August!
