August's Astrology Update

1st August: Venus square Saturn and Neptune
Love and money take you on a rollercoaster of reality versus fantasy. First, the day kicks off with a serious vibe. Think of it as love’s reality check. If you’re hoping for fireworks, you might just get a slow burn instead. It’s all about proving you’re in it for the long haul, whether it’s feelings or your budget. Patience and commitment are the stars of the show and shortcuts? Nope, not today.

But by evening, the mood shifts. Cue the rose-colored glasses and dreamy playlists because things get a little hazy and sweetly misleading. Love and money might feel sugar-coated and foggy. Perfect for creative daydreaming, but terrible for making any real-life decisions. So maybe hold off on signing contracts or confessing undying love until those rose-tinted clouds clear. Balance the serious with the dreamy and you’ll navigate the day like a pro.

7th August: Mars enters Libra
Time to stop swinging your sword solo. Mars in Libra wants collaboration over confrontation, but beware the temptation to keep the peace at your own expense. Move like a lover, not a fighter, but still get sh*t done.

8th August: Mars trine Uranus
Get ready to shake things up! Today’s energy is all about bold moves and sudden sparks of genius. If you’ve been stuck in a rut, expect a lightning bolt of inspiration to break the boredom. Take a risk, you might surprise yourself!

9th August: Full Moon in Aquarius at 16 degrees 59min and Mars opposite Saturn

The universe is waving a big “Hold up!” flag just as you’re ready to zoom ahead. Mars asks you to slow your roll and practice some patience and discipline. Think of it as hitting the brakes before the fast lane turns into chaos. Meanwhile, the Full Moon in Aquarius is lighting up your need to be yourself. Wholly. It’s time for truth bombs: speak your mind, clear out the dead weight and let your inner weirdo take the wheel. Later, Mars teams up with a foggy vibe that clouds your motivation. You might feel fired up but unsure where to channel all that energy. So, avoid chasing illusions or making any big moves on a whim. Pause, reflect, and let clarity catch up before you charge ahead again.

10th August: Mars trine Pluto
Power day! You’re feeling fierce and focused, ready to tackle challenges like a pro. This is the energy to dive deep and come out stronger. Harness your inner warrior and don’t be afraid to transform the game.

11th August: Mercury stations direct in Leo (fully out of shadow on 25th August)
The cosmic loudspeaker is back online. If the past few weeks scrambled your message or messed with your plans, now’s your chance to set the record straight. Speak boldly. Express yourself like you mean it.

12th August: Venus conjunct Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn sextile Uranus
This is the cosmic equivalent of love and luck high-fiving each other. Soft, rich and possibly a little too much. Just how we like it. This is big heart energy. Give generously, love loudly, cook for your crush. Just don’t overspend or overpromise in a wave of feels. Check your cup first as ‘balance’ is the name of the game. At the same time set the intention for steady progress with a dash of exciting change. Whatever you’re building has the potential to last without boring yourself to tears. Think smart innovation with a solid foundation. Yep, you can have both!

13th August: Venus trine Lilith
Time to embrace your fierce, untamed side in love and style. No more playing small or apologising for your edge. Confidence and allure are your best accessories today. Dare to be a little mysterious, a little wild and watch people lean in.

15th & 18th August: Mercury sextile Mars
Brains and boldness team up! It’s the perfect time to speak up, pitch ideas, or have those important conversations. Your words have power now, use them to inspire or make things happen. Just remember to keep it sharp, not sharp-tongued.

16th August: Venus trine North Node
Everything feels like it’s falling into place. Like your heart and destiny are swiping right on each other. This is the energy of meaningful connections and right-timing. If you’ve been waiting for signs to pursue that passion or relationship, here it is: go for it!

19th August: Sun quincunx Chiron
An awkward little spotlight on the stuff you’d rather hide. Old wounds around visibility, self-trust, or not being “ready yet” could flare. Don’t shrink. Adjust the story, not your worth. Show up anyway.

22th August: Sun enters Virgo
Clean slate season begins. Whether it’s your inbox, your gut, or your calendar. Virgo season wants it cleared, sorted and sacred. Practical magic is the name of the game. Ritualise your routines. You’ve heard me say it before. Now live it.

23th August: New Moon in Virgo at 0 degrees 22mins and Venus square Chiron
Set intentions with precision. Not just “get healthier”. What exactly are you ready to commit to? This Moon is a portal for powerful, grounded change. Make it tiny. Make it doable. Make it real. In other news love’s vulnerable spot gets poked. Old wounds or awkward feelings might bubble up, but that’s only so you can finally face them and heal. It’s uncomfortable but necessary. Think of it as emotional spring cleaning with a healing twist.

24th August: Sun square Uranus
Plot twist energy. The urge to break free clashes with whatever’s too rigid or predictable. Expect shake-ups, ego jolts, or sudden clarity. Let change crack you open, not shut you down. Flexibility is your power move.

25th August: Venus enters Leo
Love gets loud again. Time to flirt, flash and step fully into your romantic main character moment. Grand gestures? Yes. Quiet devotion? Still counts. Just make it sincere and a little bit fabulous. By ‘a little’ I mean a lot!

26th August: Venus trine Saturn and Neptune, sextile Uranus; Mercury square Lilith

Love serves up a delightful mix of steady commitment, playful surprises and dreamy magic. The day starts with that solid, “I got you” vibe. Perfect for building trust, setting healthy boundaries and making long-lasting promises with grace and patience. But don’t get too comfortable, because by evening, the unexpected drops in: spontaneous flirtations, fresh ideas, or even a wild new look to shake up the routine. It’s playful and exciting, just be ready to say yes to whatever comes your way (and maybe keep your phone handy).

As the night deepens, the energy softens into pure magic hour. Your intuition is sharp, making it an ideal time for romantic moments, creative sparks, or simply soaking in all the good vibes. Let your heart take the lead as you never know where this enchanting night might take you!

Watch your words as they might sting more than you mean today. That edgy, no-filter vibe is tempting, but it could ruffle feathers. Think twice before you speak your truth; a little diplomacy goes a long way.

27th August: Venus opposite Pluto
Intense much? This day’s energy feels like love on a rollercoaster. Weeeee! Passionate, deep and maybe a little obsessive. Power plays and emotional truths come out, so buckle up and stay honest. Transformation is the name of the game. Old patterns, be gone.

29th August: Uranus sextile Neptune
Magic and innovation collide! This is your cosmic nudge to dream big and think outside the box. Creativity flows like a river, and unexpected inspiration could come from the most surprising places. Keep your eyes and mind open.

31st August: Mercury trine Chiron
Healing through words. This is a day to speak your truth with compassion, especially about things that have hurt you. Conversations flow easily and you might find yourself comforting or being comforted. Vulnerability is your secret superpower now.
