August Horoscope: The Gemini Are In The Spotlight, And Pisces Are Letting Go Of Toxic Friendships

And these plans are especially necessary because on August 5 Mercury begins its retrograde movement in Virgo, a transit that will last until August 28. You can expect missed messages, delayed journeys, and technical problems, especially related to telecommunications.

The entry of Venus into Virgo marks the beginning of an astrological storm: Venus in Virgo is in opposition to Saturn in Pisces, and both form a difficult aspect with Mars and Jupiter in Gemini. All the planets involved in these aspects are in mutable signs, which are recognized for their flexibility, but also their duality. We are pulled in so many different directions in August, that the only solution is to stop expecting exact results, but to accept everything as it comes. This energy reaches a maximum point on August 19, with the full moon in Aquarius. It is a month full of beneficial effects, which will take all this confused information, pass the background noise, and help us find a solution that seems too simple to be real, but which will be defining for the future both on a personal level, as well as collectively.

The Virgo season begins on August 22 and we can finally relax and enjoy pleasant moments spent with our loved ones. Mercury ends its retrograde movement on August 28 and the days that follow after this date bring us more calm, much needed after a very hectic month.

Discover the August horoscope for your zodiac sign:

Aries

Leo season is for you one of the most romantic periods of the year, but unfortunately, it is impossible to spend this month in a state of bliss with your loved one. You have too many things to do! Although you are very busy, it is important that when you have a little free time, you devote it to rest. Your plans can be turned upside down by Mercury retrograde, between August 5-28, when you may face delays and difficulties in organizing the program.
The full moon in Aquarius, on August 19, could bring you some unexpected news regarding finances. You could even get a bonus or a raise.

Taurus

This month you feel that you have many opportunities, but you don’t have enough energy for all of them. Ask for help when you feel you can’t handle it alone. Many people around you are willing to help you. Mercury retrograde urges you to reevaluate some meetings or ephemeral relationships from the past. But don’t forget: just because you remember an ex-boyfriend is not necessarily a sign that you should resume contact.
Ever since the spring of this year, you have been trying to find ways to increase your income and resources, and now is the time to make some long-term investments. Before making an important purchase on August 14, make sure you don’t act out of impulse or boredom.

Gemini

The astral transits of August bring you to the center of attention. This month you are the main character! The end of summer is always a busy time for you, but this year your schedule is full not only with birthday parties. The only thing missing is the connection with your loved ones and the time spent quietly with those who matter to you. If you are alone, a person who is already part of your group will want you to spend time together, just you, around August 15.
The full moon in Aquarius, on August 19, offers you the opportunity to earn more money, but not necessarily in the field in which you are active.

Cancer

Although you have made a clear plan for August, you must know that even the best-organized calendar can be turned upside down during this period. What you thought was a vacation might turn into a very important business meeting. And what you thought was a business meeting could turn into a party. The most important thing is to focus on the things you can control, such as exercise and healthy eating. If you are alone, you have the chance to meet an interesting person, but not in your usual environment, but only if you step out of your comfort zone. You have the opportunity to earn more money around August 18.

Leo

It’s your season! Although you are ready to party and go to a different event or meeting every night, this month pulls you in different directions at the same time. It is valid both in personal and professional life. Negotiating some contracts takes longer than you thought, you can face difficult discussions in your relationship, and at the same time, you feel that your friends are too distracted to spend quality time together. It’s time to do something just for you.
The Aquarius full moon on August 19 is a culminating moment for one of your closest relationships. You have to have a difficult but necessary discussion.

August is a particularly important month for you. You continue to define the romantic relationships and creative hobbies that you want to continue, but at the same time, you want to keep time to spend with friends. On the other hand, you find the courage to break away from the past and from what held you in place. Now is the time to start projects that you have postponed for a long time.
The month of July brought some “earthquakes” in your close relationships, and now you are trying to discover what are the best steps to take. If you are alone, it is possible to meet someone interesting through friends.

Sagittarius

August is not an easy month for you. You will receive public recognition and special treatment, but you feel that it is too little, too late. Especially because a large part of your energy is consumed by the fact that you have to walk like needles around your eternally dissatisfied boss or your life partner, who is more stressed than usual. You will experience some peace when you decide to focus more on yourself and your needs. It’s time for a change of look, a new haircut, a precious manicure, or anything that brings you joy.
Mercury will be retrograde in your public image sector between August 5 and 28. It’s time to reevaluate your career goals.

Capricorn

This year you took many steps to balance your schedule, to improve your communication style, and to give up toxic friends. It is possible to feel that you have lost more than you have gained.

Aquarius

In 2024, you focused a lot on your financial situation. It wasn’t easy, but you planted the seeds for future abundance.

Pleasure is important, but not so important that you blow your budget.

The full moon in Aquarius, on August 19, brings you more clarity on a relationship that has been stressing you for a very long time. It’s time to move on and free yourself from toxic situations.
