Monthly Horoscope

August 1, 2024 - We're all trying to find joy this month. The New Moon in Leo on August 4 sparks this jumpstart to creative fulfillment. On the same day, Venus enters discerning Virgo, balancing our desire for fun with the perspective that the more we do for others, the greater our capacity for pleasure becomes. Mercury shifts retrograde in Virgo on August 5, prompting us to reset our approach to handling mundane routines. Once Mercury spins backward into Leo on August 14, we can focus on changes that should maximize the joy the earlier New Moon inspired us to seek. Our plans should be ready to go after August 28, once Mercury turns direct. We've also got a great deal of mental stamina, thanks to Mars conjoining Jupiter on August 14. We might, however, make a promise in our exuberance only to realize by August 16 that we can't deliver it. With Mars squaring Saturn that day, we'll have to proceed with caution. A Full Moon in Aquarius on August 19 might heighten our awareness about social responsibilities. In matters of the heart, with Venus in Virgo for most of the month, we're focused on practical relationships more than easy-breezy romance. As the month comes to an end, Venus will oppose both Saturn and Neptune, signifying potential disappointment if we've been giving too much without enough reciprocation. Balance is vital in all parts of life. Get your Daily Horoscope delivered to your inbox for FREE. Sign up now!
