It’s Leo Season and Your August 2019 Beauty Horoscope Is Here

With a degree in neuroscience and art history from UCLA, Rose Theodora is an expert when it comes to color therapy and astrology. Each month, she'll be sharing astrological insights for your sign, as well as the beauty products you should be using. Consider these your personal beauty horoscopes.

August: It’s all about creatively pursuing your dreams and indulging a bit this month.

August 7-8: It's auspicious to plan travel related to love on these dates, and even better to rediscover and strengthen your own self-love! Take a risk, one that's heart-centered.

August 11: Jupiter, the planet of luck, wakes up after being retrograde since April 10, 2019. Jupiter promises movement, growth, opportunities, and luck where you've learned the most in the last four months! It's time to branch out and try products whose philosophy you can get behind. 

August 11: Uranus goes retrograde until January 10, 2020. When Uranus, the planet of originality and disruption, moves inward (retrograde), the change will affect you more internally vs. externally now. This means you'll need a calming mask.

August 12: Mercury enters Leo. Your mind is focused and ignited by creativity, admiration, and self-importance. Color, products, and floral scents are your go-to for the next week. 

August 14: Sun and Venus. Plan to love yourself proudly and to share that love with everyone else! 

August 15: Full Moon Aquarius. You'll feel intense changes, stemming from a deep need for more stimulation. Change up your beauty routine for something you're more passionate about. 

August 19: Mars enters Virgo. Details motivate you into action. Watch out for being overly critical. Your skin is more sensitive to the food you're eating now. 

August 22: Venus enters Virgo: Clean, streamlined, and natural is how you like your makeup right now. 

August 24: The Sun enters Virgo and it's officially Virgo season, which means it's time to clean up your beauty routine. Make it streamlined, healing and nutrient-rich for your skin. Think pore-shrinking, skin-perfecting products. 

August 30: New Moon in Virgo. This is one of the best New Moon's yet! Expect excitement, more energy, and a willingness to give just as much as we desire to receive.
