Horoscope for the first week of August 2024

The monthly horoscope for August begins with a New Moon in Leo on the 4th, marking a time of increased creativity, self-confidence, and optimism. Before Mercury Retrograde station on the 5th, the goal is to build a more positive outlook on the moment.

Also on the 4th, Venus enters Virgo, inclining us to adopt a more practical and analytical tone in close and social relationships. It's an excellent period for taking care of health and well-being.

On August 5th, Mercury Retrograde begins in Virgo. However, if you're a regular reader of Astrolink, you know that retrograde transits in astrology don't need to be feared and occur every year at certain times.

Throughout the next few days, other astrological movements may lead to a climate of increased impatience and difficulty in being flexible.

Predictions for the second week of August 2024

The second week of the monthly horoscope for August begins with the First Quarter Moon in Scorpio on August 12th. At this time, using intuition can be advantageous, as well as taking a period of retreat to process recent life events. This influence should become stronger between August 14th and 16th.

Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn can trigger sudden situations that require quick but well-thought-out actions. This happens because Mars and Jupiter in Gemini promote an expansion of optimism but can also encourage dispersion and overstepping limits. Balance is key during this period.

The most significant event of the second week is the conjunction between Mars and Jupiter, with the exact aspect occurring on the 14th but felt throughout the month. Implement growth plans, acquire knowledge, start a shelved project, read that delayed book, etc. The reward is more certain if you take a risk, and the biggest danger is overconfidence. Donating to charity and other philanthropic actions also resonate with the moment.

Additionally, watch out for sudden peaks of anxiety and overeating, especially in certain astrological chart configurations. Mercury in retrograde movement this week implies some review and patience amid confusion and unforeseen events. Good and calm nights of sleep are recommended and can have rejuvenating results.

Mercury's return to the sign of Leo on August 14th reinforces the importance of honesty in our communication, a behavior in line with this astrological moment.

Monthly horoscope: third week of August

Despite the influence of Mars from the last week continuing during the coming days, new transits interact. The Full Moon in Aquarius on the 19th brings a more joyful and fraternal tone, illuminating issues of innovation. In general relationships, true communication, the absence of jealousy, along with cooperation and teamwork can be especially good at maintaining healthy connections and resonating with the moment.

However, on the 19th, a conflict between Jupiter and Saturn contrasts the desire for expansion and the need for limits. There may be a feeling of stagnation or that efforts are not yielding the expected results. If this happens, step back from the situation to observe it from another perspective. Also, rely on the help of those close to you.

On August 22nd, the Sun enters the sign of Virgo, an always welcome season emphasizing physical and mental organization as goals, the selective harvest of recent efforts. Establish healthier routines that value your well-being and a fruitful and organized daily life.

Horoscope for the last week of August

The last week of August ends with the Last Quarter Moon in Gemini on August 26th, providing a period of reflection and closing cycles more intelligently and optimistically. Using emotional intelligence can help clarify doubts, resolve pending issues, and prepare the ground for new beginnings.

Additionally, the end of Mercury Retrograde on the 28th brings a greater sense of clarity and perception of progress. Finally, the month ends with Venus entering Libra on August 29th, starting a favorable period to appreciate beauty, valuing balance and justice in personal interactions. Diplomacy and charm will be high, facilitating conflict resolution and strengthening emotional bonds.
