Astro-Forecast: August 2024
First of all, in writing the title of this post, I almost typed August 2014. There's lots of astrology pointing back to patterns from 7-10 years ago so I don't consider this a random typo.
My first tip: check back to that date & see what was going on for you, it might give you insight into the cycles closing out this month.
August 4th (it's a busy day!): Venus enters Virgo - Be detail-oriented in your relationships and money. Virgo likes a solid routine and a healthy mindset. When in doubt, do something good for your health and let the rest sort itself out.
August 7th: Mercury conjunct Venus - Despite Mercury's retrograde motion, this is a day you MIGHT have more luck having conversations in your romantic relationship, just do so with caution.
August 14th: Mars conjunct Jupiter - Expansion and passion in whatever area of your chart contains Gemini. This could also be a good day for communication, but more in the privacy of your creativity than with those around you.
August 14th: Mercury enters Leo - The retrograde energy is shifting from whatever house you find Virgo in your chart to whatever house contains Leo, adjust your caution settings accordingly.
August 15th: Sun trine Chiron - Possibly a good day for working on healing your Chiron wounds (check the sign & house for clarity), but also just a good day to retreat to your own sanctuary to lick your wounds in private. A good day for self-care.
August 16th: Mars square Saturn - This feels like finals week energy. There may be a lot going on in the "lessons" area of your life, especially regarding how you handle conflict. Focus only on what matters in the long run.
August 18th: Mercury Cazimi - Remember, Mercury is STILL retrograde. This energy boost from the sun could get a little wonky. Much like August 14th, this is a better day to write in private than share stuff with the world, be careful how you talk to others online.
August 19th: Aquarius Full Moon - What were you manifesting during the new moon in February? What came to fruition and what feels stalled? It's a good day to assess if the person you are now still wants what the person you were then did. Adjust your vision accordingly. Bonus points if you can help the greater good in the process.
*There's also a ton of squares I won't get into happening this day, be kind to your fellow humans.
August 22nd: Sun enters Virgo - Organization, health, and routine reign supreme! Get your back-to-school energy on and fill out your agenda with productive lessons and projects.
August 28th: Mercury station direct - It's over...well, except for the shadow period, but you can slowly start to say what you mean and have others understand you starting today.
August 29th: Venus enters Libra - Love & partnerships, partnerships & love. It's not necessarily about flowers and romance, but about finding equal ground with someone special for a balanced union.
As always, this is not an exhaustive list of all the transits happening this month, just the ones that really ping with my intuitive senses. If you're looking for a more specific read for your personal astrology, check out the new Clarity Coaching offer in the shop. <3
