Horoscope for August 2024

As we embrace the wonderful summer month ahead, we're also stepping into the vibrant season of Leo. This period, as bright and intense as the August sun, promises the bloom of all our summer plans. The Sun remains in the constellation of the resolute Leo until August 22, infusing us with confidence and focus to achieve our goals.

Kicking off the month is the new moon in Leo on August 4, signaling the start of new ventures and encouraging us to pursue our previously conceived plans. If you've been hesitating, this lunar phase urges you to take those first steps forward.

However, a word of caution: August requires meticulous planning. From August 5 to August 28, 2024, Mercury retrograde will pose challenges, initially affecting Virgo until August 14, before moving into Leo. Mercury's journey will circle back to the precise Virgo on September 9. During this time, unexpected twists and budgetary shifts could interfere with our plans, and after August 14, our expectations or personal visions might face reevaluation.

Horoscope for August 2024

Horoscope for the week July 29—4, 2024

>>

Mid-month brings an astronomical event not to be missed. On August 14, Mars and Jupiter will meet in Gemini—a reunion 12 years in the making, although their last conjunction occurred in a different constellation. This significant alignment brings together the horoscope's most communicative and trustworthy sector, invigorated by the most decisive planets.

Arguably the pinnacle of the month is August 19. This date showcases the only full moon in Aquarius for 2024, marking the culmination of a development cycle that began late last winter. But there's more: this full moon aligns with aspects that haven't occurred for decades. With Saturn now in Pisces following the end of the Age of Aquarius, we see aspects that deeply influence our lives. On August 19, two T-squares form between Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Mercury, further complicated by Venus and Mars. While the day may pass without major events, it undeniably signifies the start of a new era.
