Summer is in full swing, and we’re heading into an August with pros and cons… On one hand, the stars (especially Venus and Jupiter) are making some changes in the zodiac. On the other hand, Mercury goes retrograde starting August 5th. In short, not everyone will be in the same boat. Read your August 2024 horoscope to find out more.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) 

Influence of the month: The wheel of fortune

Starting August 5th, Mercury goes retrograde, which doesn’t bode well for you, especially at work where the atmosphere is tense. Advice: keep a low profile and wait for the storm to pass. We know patience isn’t your strong suit, so instead of giving in to provocation, put on your poker face. 

DO: Practice positive thinking (though it’s not easy)
DON’T: Respond to aggression with aggression.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) 

Influence of the month: Temperance

Currently, some minor annoyances are getting on your nerves, dear Taurus. Maybe because you partied all July and now your account is empty? Relax a bit and put things into perspective! After all, you had a good time, right? In terms of your love life, singles won’t have any time to rest. Tip: Avoid spreading yourself too thin. Focus on one person at a time.

DO: Organize your budget (at least try).
DON’T: Promise the moon to your partner (we know it will end in an eclipse).

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)

 Influence of the month: The sun

This summer, you’re determined to have fun. Boosted by Jupiter and Venus, nothing can dampen your enthusiasm! For singles, the possibilities are endless. As for those in relationships, they’ll want to escape somewhere to cuddle in peace. At work, make sure to tie up loose ends before going MIA.

DO: Go easy on the carbs.
DON’T: Dwell on old grudges. Out with the old…

CANCER (June 22-July 22)

Influence of the month: The hermit

After a busy July, you’re easing up a bit. But that doesn’t mean becoming a hermit and binge-watching series! Treat yourself to quality moments: a walk on the beach at dusk, a hike, or a home-cooked meal with loved ones… The best things in life are the simplest.

DO: Find a last-minute flight (it’s never too late).
DON’T: Laze around at home doing nothing.

LEO (July 23-August 22) 

Influence of the month: The world

The star of this August 2024 horoscope is you. It’s your astrological season, and as always, you want to hog the spotlight. And you’re not shy about it! However, it would be wise to come down to earth a bit because, financially, budgeting is not your strong suit. Your spendthrift ways could backfire…

DO: Stop living beyond your means.
DON’T: Show off (your bragging doesn’t fool anyone).

VIRGO (August 23-September 22) 

Influence of the Month: The star

According to your August 2024 horoscope, you’re taking charge of your social and love life. It was about time, too, as you were starting to get stuck in a rut! This is especially true of some singles who had completely given up. You’re regaining confidence, and that’s what matters most. Summer looks promising, so enjoy every minute.

DO: Open up to new professional opportunities.
DON’T: Hog the conversation (others need to be heard too).

LIBRA (September 23-October 23) 

Influence of the month: The empress

With the influence of the planets in Fire signs, your charm  will be irresistible, and some will fall head over heels for you.  At work, you’ll impose your ideas with finesse. As usual, you know when to use your diplomatic superpowers… Use this summer to recharge and rethink your lifestyle.

DO: Start a dietary rebalancing (we always end up paying for excesses).
DON’T: Be indecisive (people get tired of broken promises).

SCORPIO (October 24-November 22) 

Influence of the month: The death card

Currently, you’re dragging your feet, which is not like you at all. In short, nothing motivates you, not even the idea of going on vacation. No need to force it! Slow down and rest. You need to recharge your batteries. Tip: prioritize outdoor activities like hiking or biking.

DO: Go for a spa treatment.
DON’T: Listen to toxic people.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23-December 22) 

Influence of the month: The chariot

The planets in Fire signs give you boundless energy! At work, your creativity will peak this month. Use it wisely. Be careful not to neglect your loved ones; they might not take it well, even if they understand your dedication to work. Tip: Take some time to rest occasionally.

DO: Drink a relaxing herbal cocktail to sleep (like passionflower).
DON’T: Always insist on being right.

CAPRICORN (December 23-January 20) 

Influence of the month: The chariot

This summer, you’re more motivated than ever to add some fun to your daily routine. Hooray! You’ve grown tired of constantly overanalyzing everything… In short, you’ve decided to loosen up a bit, and the timing is perfect! Enjoy this summer break to the fullest.

DO: Subscribe (or resubscribe) to a dating app.
DON’T: Overindulge in cocktails (you get a bit snarky afterwards).

AQUARIUS (January 21-February 19) 

Influence of the month: The tower

This summer, it’s time for introspection, especially for couples. And this is an exercise Aquarius masters well, especially when it comes to finding problems where there are none. Well, with Mercury going retrograde on August 5th, it explains your uncertain mood. Focus on your finances, which are shaky right now.

DO: Go on a digital detox.
DON’T: Indulge in shopping sprees (or, if you do need to shop, buy second-hand)).

PISCES (February 20-March 20) 

Influence of the month: judgment

This month, your family will take up most of your attention. And some members will be more demanding than others. After all, family is the priority.  At work, latent disagreements could turn into conflicts. Tip: Prepare your arguments in advance to avoid being caught off guard.

DO: Go on a road trip with your family.
DON’T: React impulsively with your colleagues.
