A BIG Love Letter to AUGUST
Founder Notes:
The first day of August falling on a Friday… a Venus day… just feels right. There’s something about that alignment that already sets the tone. Warmth. Beauty. Love. Joy.
I’m based on the East Coast. I know not everyone reading this is. On this side, we ended July with a full downpour… a heavy, emotional rain that felt like it cleared everything out. It was like the month needed one final release… like the sky knew we had to reset.
Now it’s August.
“ we ended July with a full downpour… a heavy, emotional rain that felt like it cleared everything out.”
This is my STAR month. I don’t think I’d want to be born in any other month but August. With Leo as my sun sign and five Leo placements to back it up… I’m that much of a Leo lol. This season doesn’t just represent me. It realigns me.
It’s a month enriched by the sun and big-hearted energy. August always brings me back to myself. It’s not just about being bold. It’s about moving from a place of clarity. About making decisions that feel honest. It’s about learning how to stay in full bloom… even when no one’s clapping.
This month is asking
Where do you have room to shine?
Where have you been shrinking?
What energy around you is dimming your light… and is it even yours?
“What energy around you is dimming your light… and is it even yours?
I’ve learned that shining doesn’t always mean being the loudest. Sometimes it’s telling the truth. Sometimes it’s choosing to rest. Sometimes it’s choosing joy and not explaining why.
This August feels different. After so many shifts, I feel like I’m finally grounding back into what’s real. Palace One Eleven is moving into its next chapter. With that comes a wave of change, clarity, and quiet celebration.
If you’re moving through a shift too. Whether it’s a transition, a milestone, or just a slow becoming.
I hope you give yourself space to really feel it. You don’t need to rush. You’re allowed to be proud, even while you’re still figuring it all out.
That’s the real Leo energy. Showing up for yourself with love. Moving with intention. Letting your light speak for itself.
Thank you for being here. For growing with me. For holding space as this new chapter unfolds. Whether you’ve been here since the start or just joined the journey… I’m grateful you’re here.
Let August hold you. Let it mirror the version of you that’s finally ready to be seen.
Overall Energy:
August arrives with heat and heart. This month invites you to take up space — not by force, but by simply being who you are. Leo energy reminds us that self-expression isn’t selfish. It’s necessary. Your presence matters. Your voice deserves to be heard, even if you’re still finding the words.
This month brings both momentum and reflection. There’s an underlying invitation to celebrate how far you’ve come while staying open to where you’re headed. Whether you’re stepping into new responsibilities, reconnecting with your creative spark, or simply learning to be more present… August says do it with love. Do it from the heart.
You might feel a pull to refine your focus. Let what no longer fits fall away. Let joy be your filter. Let ease be your signpost.
This is a time to get clear about what fuels you and what drains you. Protect your energy. Protect your glow.
“This is a time to get clear about what fuels you and what drains you. Protect your energy. Protect your glow.”
Mind & Body:
This season calls for care that’s energizing and gentle at the same time. Think light movement that gets your blood flowing. Walks in the morning sun. Stretching with your favorite playlist. A solo dance break just because. Hydration is key, and so is nourishment that feels vibrant and alive.
Lean into seasonal foods like watermelon, peaches, cucumbers, tomatoes, blueberries, and fresh herbs like mint and basil. These cooling, hydrating foods support your body’s natural rhythm during the hottest part of the year.
Skincare-wise, now’s a great time to exfoliate gently and double down on glow-enhancing hydration. Don’t skip the SPF, especially if you’re spending more time outside. Let the sun lift you, not burn you.
Build grounding routines into your day. Instead of rituals that feel like extra work, focus on consistent routines that help you reset. A few quiet breaths before emails. Journaling in the evening. Checking in with how your body feels instead of powering through.
