Your Sign's Horoscope: What to Expect From August

Check out your August horoscope!

Aries

March 21 - April 19

Get ready for a new romance or an upgrade of your current relationship because the New Moon in Leo on the 5th of August sends some romantic and creative vibes your way. You may also come up with an innovative idea, start a new business, and find something truly exciting and new in your life.

The Sun in Leo wants you to get enjoyment out of your efforts. Maybe it’s time for a short vacation? Slow down so you can catch up with yourself, Aries native! Make sure not to overlook the effects of Mars, your ruling planet, who spends the next six months in Taurus and influences your income.

Taurus

April 20 - May 20

This month will be busy for you, Taurus native. Mars – one of the most passionate planets – will have the effect of making you more self-assertive and also make you somewhat insensitive to the needs of others. The New Moon on the 5th of August suggests that a new start is possible where your home is concerned.

Venus, your ruling planet, will spend the first part of the month in Virgo urging you to enjoy your life. Make sure to do what you really love! When Venus moves to Libra, your workplace relationships will be improved – that will make your working life a bit easier. Your health should benefit, too.

Gemini

May 21 - June 20

Your ruling planet, Mercury, remains in Leo and returns to direct motion on the 16th of August – that’s why the emphasis stays on your communication sector. The New Moon that happens on the 5th of August will make it possible for you to start something new and exciting in your communication and family spheres.

Your social life may take a twist: finding a couple of new friends will be possible. You may also decide to start learning something new – something that has nothing to do with your current job – and you may get quite passionate about your new hobby. Meanwhile, Venus will ensure your family life flows peacefully.

Cancer

June 21 - July 22

Cancer native, you probably already know that you’re one of the most emotional signs of the Zodiac, but with Saturn transiting in Cancer (that’s quite rare – it only happens once in thirty years!) you feel greater self-discipline and you may understand that you can control your feelings – even those that seem to be uncontrollable.

Because Venus is entering your sign on the 7th, you may learn to appreciate and love your sensitive side. Some new people will enter your life on the 13th of August when Venus and Uranus “meet” – you may start a new romance. Be ready to open to new ways of being and creative self-expression.

Leo

July 23 - August 22

Good news, Leo. This is your month to shine and make everyone feel jealous. You will be the star of the Zodiac this month. The New Moon on the 5th of August is in your sign making it possible for you to start a new beginning in your personal matter; a change of your attitude is also possible.

The Sun, your ruling celestial body, will make it possible for you to focus on your needs and desires and formulate your plans for the future. With Mars in Taurus, you are at your most ambitious and motivated – virtually everything is possible for you. You will put all your energy into achieving your goals.

Virgo

August 23 - September 22

With Venus in your sign until the 17th, you are finally leaving your quiet and reflective period. You’re willing to interact with others again; time to let others feel your warmth! No one will be able to resist your charm and friendly approach. Meanwhile, the New Moon in Leo early in the month brings to light a matter that you have been keeping to yourself.

But with Mercury, your ruling planet, in Leo, you’re still reluctant to discuss the matter with your friends and loved ones – you will be more inclined to your own counsel until Mercury returns to Virgo in early September. You will also probably suffer from a certain level of anxiety – Saturn makes you feel confused.

Libra

September 23 - October 23

Venus, your main planet, returns to where she was when she retrograded on the 17th of May – that’s why August 2 will be an extremely important day for your sign, Libra native. Now, it should be clear what is important to you and what is not, what brings you joy and what doesn’t.

After the 17th, with Venus back in Libra, life will take a turn for the better. You will spend more time with your friends and family. Meanwhile, Mars in Taurus will inspire you to fight for what you feel is rightfully yours. Jupiter will send some positive vibes your way making you develop and polish your skills.

Scorpio

October 24 - November 22

You’re feeling the magic of rebirth all through August even though Pluto, your ruling planet, doesn’t move forward until August 30. You will feel inspired to leave your cave and start exploring the world around you, Scorpio native. Meanwhile, the New Moon on the 5th of August will make it possible for you to make a new beginning somehow.

Any hard work you have put into your career should finally start to be rewarding. This can be the time of your greatest success if you’re ambitious enough to use your opportunities. However, it can also be a time of great responsibility in your career and public life, so be careful!

Sagittarius

November 23 - December 21

Jupiter in Virgo made things a little difficult for you, Sagittarian. Meanwhile, the New Moon that happens on August 5 will make it possible for you to make a long-distance journey and start learning something new – a new language, maybe? But those journeys are likely to be undertaken more for serious reasons than for pleasure.

Work and health issues may come to the fore now that Mars has moved into Taurus. You may be working really hard and don’t feel your work is appreciated by others. It may discourage you. Some tension at your workplace is possible – you may prefer working alone or even at home. Some minor health issues can appear later this month.

Capricorn

December 22 - January 19

Venus, the planet of love, moves into Cancer and enters your relationship arena. You’re probably one of the most invulnerable signs of the Zodiac, Capricorn, but the influence of Venus and emotional Cancer urges you to show what you actually feel and how sensitive you really are. You’ll learn to handle it.

Borrowing money may be difficult this month so the New Moon that happens on the 5th of August is giving you an opportunity to find a new solution. The Full Moon occurring in Aquarius by the end of the month may influence your financial sphere in a positive way. Meanwhile, Mars in Taurus makes self-discipline difficult for you.

Aquarius

January 20 - February 19

The New Moon that happens on August 5 may send some powerful vibes your way – get ready for some changes in your relationship sector: starting afresh with a clean page is possible. The co-ruler of your sign, Saturn, spends some time in Leo making the demands and responsibilities of your closest relationships be heavier.

During this time, your strong relationships will become even stronger while weaker ones may founder under the strain. Meanwhile, Mars in Taurus creates some tension in your home and family sphere. Be patient and show support to your loved ones – they need your attention, Aquarius native!

Pisces

February 20 - March 20

Benevolent Jupiter, one of your ruling planets, transits your seventh house making your connections with others the most important sphere of your life. It’s very important for you to learn more about relationships and how to develop them – sign up for a course on this matter if you can.

The New Moon that happens on August 5 may inspire you to find a new solution to work issues or a health matter. Saturn’s influence indicates that you have to deal with more extra responsibility and some problems at your workplace. Your perseverance will pay off in the long term. Meanwhile, Saturn gives you an opportunity to improve your health through your lifestyle.
