How is it August already, Capricorn? You start the month off strong with a creative or romantic breakthrough! Mars and Uranus meet in Taurus on August 1, and they’re demanding a little rebellion. You’re ready to push forward in a new direction. If things have been stagnant with someone you’re seeing, you may decide to break things off. Or if you’ve been focusing on your creativity, you might feel like you’ve been blessed with a stroke of luck.
Mercury enters Virgo on August 3 and you’re open to shifting your perspective. You may find yourself spending more time studying, contemplating the meaning of life, or planning some travel. On August 7, Mars in Taurus is at odds with Saturn in Aquarius. You’re craving fun, play, and pleasure, but work or finances may be preventing you from doing what you want. This energy can feel like the wind has been taken out of your sails. Just remember: There is a benefit from slowing down–even if it means skipping that bottomless brunch to save $$$.
You may be grappling with toxic patterns in your closest ties on August 8 when Venus in Cancer meets with Pluto in Capricorn. What dynamics and patterns are you ready to release? This is a phoenix moment for your relationships of all kinds, including with yourself. Be honest about the complicated feelings that you’ve been repressing within.
The Full Moon in Aquarius on August 11 brings some hardship in regards to your finances. If you’ve been waiting on a payment, check or promotion, perhaps it’s delayed, or you might get some unexpected bills. While it’s easy to get caught up in a loop of despair, try to see the bigger picture. This is a lesson you can learn from. A bright spot arrives on the same day when Venus enters Leo, activating your desire to merge with others. Open up to loved ones; you don’t have to face your burdens and fears alone.
Your finances take center stage again when the Sun in Leo opposes Saturn in Aquarius on August 14. You may be dealing with taxes, inheritance, or feeling a bit overwhelmed with the state of your finances. The good news: You can use this cosmic energy to plan for the future and commit to a new budget. Emotionally speaking, you may find yourself more closed off than normal, or perhaps someone you thought you could rely on isn’t available when you need them most. They may be going through something of their own, so reach out to someone else in your network if you need support. The gray skies clear on August 18 when Venus in Leo mingles with Jupiter in Aries. Your psychic muscles are working overtime–be alert for messages from your intuition!
Mars, the planet of motivation and drive, enters Gemini on August 20, activating the part of your chart that governs day-to-day work, routines, conflict, and health. Mars will stay in this part of your chart until March 2023 due to a retrograde, so you’re starting to receive clues to your personal Mars Retrograde story right now. This is a fantastic time to kick a bad habit and start crafting a daily routine that feels more supportive of the life you want to live. You may be expending more of your energy at work, and you may squabble with some coworkers along the way. Be protective of your schedule and limits, and don’t be afraid to say no. This is workaholic energy!
The Sun enters Virgo on August 22, kicking off Virgo season 2022! You’re feeling more daring and hopeful about the future right now. You’re honing in on your long-term view and opening your mind to new ways of thinking. If you’re in school or learning a new skill, you may receive some positive recognition or find a suitable mentor.

You’re setting your intentions sky high, but responsibilities and burdens can make you feel like you’ll never reach your dreams. This is a temporary setback! Don’t let your ego get the best of you. Continue to hold your vision even if you’re derailed a bit.
The New Moon in Virgo on August 27 invites you to call in a fresh start related to travel, spirituality, or learning something new. If you’ve been eager to visit a new locale, now’s the time to buy that plane ticket. Developing an intuitive or spiritual practice and engaging with your faith will be healing at this time, too.
If you booked a trip during the New Moon, it will be no surprise to hear that the next day, when Venus in Leo faces off with Saturn in Aquarius, you might be stressing a little more about your budget. Saturn is the lord of time in ancient astrology–just remember, this was an investment in your future! Avoid negative self-talk or being too hard on yourself. Trust that your bank account will replenish in due time.
