Welcome to the Horoscopes section of Made by a Real Witch.
These horoscopes are written in rhythm with the lunar cycle, alternating between the waxing and waning moon phases. Each entry reflects the energetic shift of that phase - growth, action, reflection, or release - offering grounded insight rather than prediction alone. This space is intended as a reflective tool: something to consider, sit with, and use alongside your own discernment as the month unfolds.
🌑 New Sturgeon MOON IN Leo
Waxing Moon Phase
August 12 – August 27 Horoscope | New Sturgeon Moon in Leo | Waxing Moon Forecast for All Zodiac Signs
This is a confidence phase. What has proven itself deserves your commitment. Build with purpose.
🌕 New Sturgeon MOON IN Leo
Waxing Moon Phase — Confidence. Commitment. Momentum.
Some phases ask us to explore.
This one asks us to choose.
The New Sturgeon Moon in Leo begins a new cycle of purposeful growth. Accompanied by a Solar Eclipse, it marks a natural point of transition—not through dramatic change, but through greater clarity about what deserves your continued time, attention, and confidence.
Over the next two weeks, notice what continues to feel worthwhile. The strongest opportunities are rarely the newest ones. More often, they are the ideas, relationships, goals, and routines that have quietly demonstrated their value over time.
This is not a phase for proving yourself.
It is a phase for trusting what you've already learned.
The Waxing Moon favors intentional commitment.
Not everything requires more effort.
But something deserves your wholehearted investment.
Read your sign carefully. Trust what has earned your confidence. Then continue building with purpose.
Aries
March 21 - April 19
♈ Aries — August 12 – 27 Horoscope
You have enough evidence to make a stronger choice.
The possibilities you recognized during the last phase now require discernment. Something has shown enough promise to deserve more than occasional attention. Rather than keeping every option open, consider what could happen if you chose one worthwhile direction and gave it the consistency needed to develop.
Focus over the next two weeks:
Choosing a promising direction
Committing to meaningful progress
Acting with greater confidence
Reality check: Keeping every option open can eventually prevent any one of them from developing.
Affirmation: I commit confidently to what has earned my attention.
What has shown genuine potential deserves the opportunity to grow.
Taurus
April 20 - May 20
♉ Taurus — August 12 – 27 Horoscope
Trust what has earned its place in your life.
The stability you've been creating has given you something valuable: evidence of what works. This New Moon encourages you to rely more confidently on those discoveries. You don't need to continually question something simply because its progress has been quiet. What repeatedly supports you has already demonstrated its worth.
Focus over the next two weeks:
Trusting proven choices
Deepening worthwhile commitments
Building confidently from stability
Reality check: Something doesn't need to be exciting to be valuable.
Affirmation: I trust what has consistently proven its value.
What has earned your confidence is ready for greater investment.
Gemini
May 21 - June 21
♊ Gemini — August 12 – 27 Horoscope
A direction becomes stronger when you choose it deliberately.
Recent experience has helped you recognize where genuine momentum exists. The New Sturgeon Moon in Leo asks you to move beyond observation and participate more fully in what is developing. Curiosity may have opened several doors, but commitment will determine which one leads somewhere meaningful.
Focus over the next two weeks:
Choosing with greater confidence
Strengthening a meaningful direction
Following through consistently
Reality check: A promising direction still needs your participation to become something more.
Affirmation: I give my energy to what I genuinely want to develop.
What you choose wholeheartedly now has room to become something substantial.
Cancer
June 22 - July 22
♋ Cancer — August 12 – 27 Horoscope
Use the strength you've built.
The foundation you've spent the last several phases creating has already begun opening new possibilities. Now you're being encouraged to do something with that stability. You don't need to remain in building mode forever. Something you once felt uncertain about may be easier to approach from the stronger position you occupy today.
Focus over the next two weeks:
Acting from greater confidence
Exploring worthwhile possibilities
Using established strengths
Reality check: A strong foundation matters most when it allows you to move forward.
Affirmation: I trust what I have built enough to grow beyond it.
What once provided security can now provide momentum.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
♌ Leo — August 12 – 27 Horoscope
Step confidently into what is already responding to you.
The momentum you've been noticing is no longer something you need to watch from the sidelines. With the New Sturgeon Moon in your sign, this phase encourages greater participation in the opportunities, relationships, and ideas that have consistently shown promise. You don't need to manufacture attention. Give your best energy to what is already meeting you halfway.
Focus over the next two weeks:
Taking ownership of positive momentum
Strengthening reciprocal opportunities
Moving forward with confidence
Reality check: Confidence is most effective when it's supported by genuine opportunity.
Affirmation: I confidently invest in what continues to grow with me.
What has been responding to your efforts is ready for your fuller participation.
Virgo
August 22 - September 22
♍Virgo — August 12 – 27 Horoscope
Use the space you've worked so carefully to create.
Recent improvements have reduced unnecessary friction and given you more room to think, choose, and act. Resist the temptation to immediately fill that space with more obligations. This phase offers an opportunity to direct your increased capacity toward something genuinely worthwhile rather than simply becoming busier again.
Focus over the next two weeks:
Using your time more intentionally
Choosing worthwhile priorities
Protecting newfound efficiency
Reality check: Creating more capacity has little value if you automatically fill it with more demands.
Affirmation: I use the space I have created with purpose.
What has become easier now gives something more meaningful room to develop.
Libra
September 23 - October 23
♎Libra — August 12 – 27 Horoscope
Clear priorities give you greater freedom to move.
The boundaries you've strengthened have done more than protect your time and energy—they've clarified what deserves them. This New Moon encourages you to use that clarity proactively. Rather than maintaining balance for its own sake, direct the resources you've protected toward something you genuinely want to strengthen.
Focus over the next two weeks:
Acting on clear priorities
Deepening valuable commitments
Investing your energy deliberately
Reality check: Balance isn't only about what you limit. It's also about what you make room for.
Affirmation: I give my time and energy to what matters most.
What you've made room for is ready to receive more of you.
Scorpio
October 24 - November 21
♏ Scorpio — August 12 – 27 Horoscope
Possibility becomes valuable when you act upon it.
You've reached a point where greater confidence has expanded what feels achievable. This phase asks you to choose one of those possibilities and begin giving it substance. You don't need guarantees before moving forward. You have experience, stronger footing, and enough information to take a meaningful next step.
Focus over the next two weeks:
Acting on worthwhile possibilities
Trusting established strengths
Turning confidence into progress
Reality check: Readiness doesn't always feel dramatic. Sometimes it simply feels like having fewer reasons to wait.
Affirmation: I trust myself to act on what I am ready to pursue.
What recently became possible can now begin becoming real.
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21
♐ Sagittarius — August 12 – 27 Horoscope
Certainty gives you permission to go further.
The direction you've been following has now had enough time to prove itself. This New Moon encourages you to stop treating a worthwhile commitment as though it is still under consideration. There may be more to gain by deepening your involvement than by continuing to look for reassurance that you chose correctly.
Focus over the next two weeks:
Deepening a proven commitment
Acting with greater conviction
Expanding meaningful progress
Reality check: Continually reconsidering a good decision can eventually become its own form of hesitation.
Affirmation: I move forward confidently with what has earned my trust.
What has proven itself is ready for a greater commitment.
Capricorn
December 22 - January 19
♑ Capricorn — August 12 – 27 Horoscope
More options allow you to become more selective.
The foundation you've built has expanded what is available to you, but opportunity alone isn't a reason to say yes. This phase encourages you to look beyond what you could pursue and consider what would genuinely improve the life you're building. Your next step doesn't need to be bigger. It needs to be worthwhile.
Focus over the next two weeks:
Evaluating opportunities carefully
Choosing quality over quantity
Investing in long-term value
Reality check: Having more options is valuable because it gives you the freedom not to choose all of them.
Affirmation: I choose opportunities that add meaningful value to my future.
What you decline can be just as important as what you pursue.
Aquarius
January 20 - February 18
♒Aquarius — August 12 – 27 Horoscope
What once required effort can now become your advantage.
The habits and routines you've worked to establish are requiring less conscious attention, freeing your energy for something beyond maintenance. Rather than immediately changing what is working, allow those established patterns to support a new goal, responsibility, or possibility. You have created capacity. Now decide how you want to use it.
Focus over the next two weeks:
Using established strengths strategically
Directing energy toward new growth
Building beyond familiar routines
Reality check: Once something works reliably, improvement doesn't always mean changing it.
Affirmation: I use what I have established to support what I am ready to create.
What you've made sustainable can now help carry something new.
Pisces
February 19 - March 20
♓ Pisces — August 12 – 27 Horoscope
Let self-trust influence the choices you make next.
You've spent several phases developing confidence through experience, and that growth is becoming increasingly difficult to dismiss. This New Moon asks you to use it when decisions arise. Instead of automatically looking outside yourself for confirmation, give greater weight to what your own experience has already taught you.
Focus over the next two weeks:
Trusting your judgment
Making confident decisions
Acting on what experience has taught you
Reality check: Seeking another opinion isn't always the same as needing one.
Affirmation: I trust myself to recognize what is right for me.
The confidence you've built is ready to become part of how you choose.
