Your monthly stars are like a simple starter course in astrology. Enjoy and when you’re ready to take things to the next level, consider a personal astrology chart consult.
Life may seem in flux this August, as opportunities pull you in different directions. First and foremost, lucky Jupiter moves into Virgo, your 4th House, highlighting new possibilities in your home or living situation. If you want to live somewhere different, like a new city, town or country, Jupiter in Virgo can help make a domestic dream come true.
Whether you move or not, you may want to upgrade or improve your living space, especially in terms of making it functional, organised and serene. The Sun joins with Jupiter on August 26, which may bring a breakthrough or confirmation that a move, decorating or renovating project will go ahead.

The Full Moon in Pisces, on August 29/30, highlights your 10th House of Career, Fame and Reputation. This may bring a well deserved award or public accolade. It also highlights late August as ideal in terms of attracting high profile attention for your work and achievements. This will be a lovely time to promote a success, or share your gifts and talents more widely.
With 3 planets in Leo throughout August (the Sun, Venus and Mars) your communication skills will be in focus. This may give you courage to make a bold and heartfelt pitch or presentation, or take the plunge and share your ideas and knowledge with a new audience. New technology will be worth exploring, especially if you dream of writing, teaching or blogging online.
Mars in Leo can be especially helpful regarding any desire to share your wisdom in new, brave or bold ways. This once-in-2-years cycle (August 8 – September 25) blesses you with energy, drive and determination around all your writing, teaching and training goals. If you do have a pitch, presentation or submission to make, consider the dates of August 13 or 19, when first the Sun then Venus touch electric Uranus.

Extra for all signs:
Pay special attention to the topics, themes or areas of life that start to show up – or open up – for you this August. With Jupiter entering Virgo a whole new chapter of life begins.
You’ll take your effort and desire for progress around these emerging topics to new levels when Mars joins Jupiter in Virgo from September 25 – November 11. In this period Venus will also visit Virgo (October 8 – November 8) tripling up the planetary emphasis on one topic or part of your life.
August is a big month where change and transition is possible, especially if you have a strong Jupiter themed chart (if you have lots of planets in Sagittarius or Pisces), or if you have the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) on the angles (including ascendant, IC, descendant or MC).
One stand out planet in August is Mercury in Virgo, August 7 – 27. This is an ideal period in which to organise paperwork, undertake any de-cluttering project, or reorganise and streamline your home or work space. Think recycle, re purpose or re-gift to get rid of stuff you no longer need.
Mercury will make 3 key aspects from Virgo. An opposition to Neptune on August 13 can fog facts, or make it tricky to finalise an agreement that relies on clear information. However, by August 15, when Mercury trines Pluto, an eagle eye for detail can help you take charge of information, dig up forgotten facts or take honesty to a new level.
The most productive and definitive aspect from Mercury in Virgo is a sextile to Saturn, on August 26. This is about making firm, fast and final choices. Any decision made then can be made with confidence, especially if you’ve been thorough in doing your research. Promises made then will last.
