August 2017 Monthly Horoscopes
Hello!
I’ve got a special jam-packed bonus look for your August Monthly Horoscopes!
Your August 2017 monthly horoscopes kick off with a new eclipse season- our second set of the year, actually. You can think on these events much like you do the Full and New Moons, except, the influence lasts much longer and can be more intense. We usually see Solar Eclipses in a similar way to New Moons, whereas Lunar Eclipses carry a similar energy to New Moons. Saturn finally stations direct, which may ease some tensions.
.
However, we’ve got Uranus stationing retrograde to open our month, bringing some challenges to the mix. On top of that, this month, Mercury stations retrograde in Virgo on the 22nd- so get things organized, now. You can’t say we didn’t warn you!
Have a great month!

Thinking things through will be critical for you, now.
The Lunar Eclipse For Aries

It may be time to think about finding ways to use your passion constructively.
August 2017 Mercury Retrograde!
Your Aries August 2017 monthly Horoscopes bring with it that ever- dreaded Mercury retrograde. However, don’t fear! I’ve got you covered. Mercury stations retrograde in Virgo on the 12th.

It may be harder to get things moving during this time, particularly concerning communication, technology and trave. Your best bet is to get things organized and backed up, now! For you, Aries, the emphasis is going to be on how you manage stress. The challenges then, can teach you to find ways of centering yourself.
The Big Solar Eclipse
I’m sure by now you’ve heard all about the coming solar eclipse. This one happens on the 21st and will be in fellow fire sign, Leo. This is a wonderful time to learn some new things or get your creative projects underway. Remember, though, with Mercury and Uranus both in retrograde, slow starts are all too common. Still, you can use this solar eclipse to better organize your projects and lay some groundwork. Additionally, you’ll find the emphasis for you here is love. Connecting to your own heart and learning self love is certainly the place to start!

Some things are too good to be rushed!
A Welcome Reprieve
You may not know this, Aries, but, since April, Saturn has been retrograde. On the 25th, Saturn will station direct in Sagittarius.

Closing out the month- Mercury retrograde moves from Virgo into Leo. This may really have you feeling that things are a bit of a drag.

Cancer August 2017 Monthly Horoscopes
Clearing The Air
We open the month of your August 2017 Monthly Horoscopes, with Uranus stationing Retrograde on the 3rd, Cancer. As it does this in Aries, you’ll find that your sense of direction gets a bit off.

On the 7th, our first eclipse of the season- a Lunar eclipse in Aquarius. This may bring up some hurt you’ve long buried, Cancer.

Leo August 2017 Monthly Horoscopes
Love Crazy
Opening the month of your August 2017 monthly horoscopes with a Uranus retrograde on the 3rd in Aries may not sound fun, Leo. While it’s true, it being in your fellow fire sign may have you feeling stifled in terms of expansions you’d hoped to make- you’ll find this quite temporary. This can make you feel restless and more apt to take risks: but this should be avoided for the next few months. Instead, take this time to plan and further refine the existing plans you’ve got.
The Lunar Eclipse For Leo
This month also opens with a Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius on the 7th. This will help to put the focus on closer relationships and friendships. You will find yourself paying attention to those that are balanced and healthy. Though you may cut friendships or otherwise from your life, you’ll find those that remain can go the distance. Though you may find yourself having a hard time making decisions, you’ll be more apt to meet in the middle where you can.
Mercury Retrograde in Virgo
Of course, everyone wants to know what Mercury, stationing retrograde on the 12th in Virgo will bring their way. For you, it may mean issues with your job or career, problems keeping up. You will find that, if you better organize things associated with this, it goes much easier for you- so, take care to do that, now. You may find yourself less inclined to compromise under this influence and dealing with more stubborn people, too. It’s really best to find those areas where you can meet halfway- otherwise, you may find yourself quite stuck. Though you might feel a bit insecure, if you recognize everyone’s got a bit of the foot in mouth- you’ll be less inclined to take things personally.
August 2017 Solar Eclipse
The Solar Eclipse that’s got everyone talking- occurring on the 21st in your sign looks as if it brings vast change for you. Though things may be a little slow going at the start owing to the retrogrades in motion- plans for new beginnings, feelings of optimism and enthusiasm will help. You will feel more motivated and positive, ready to get things under way. As you go more into September, you’ll find this drives you forward with passion as Mercury stations direct.
Sun Moves into Virgo
As the Sun moves into Virgo on the 22nd, you may find it a bit challenging. Don’t be discouraged, however- these challenges you see will simply be directing your attention to things. You will see some things you can correct- and some, you’re just better served letting go of, now.
Venus in Leo
As Venus graces your sign with her presence on the 25th- you’ll be feeling the love, alright. More affectionate and seeking attention, though: be careful. That Mercury Retrograde can really muddle things even with such a positive influence. Be sure that sure thing IS a sure thing before you strike. Those of you who are in relationships may find that you’re feeling needier than usual but, remember you catch more flies with honey. If you’re single, you may find all the attention really starts to turn your head. Best play that out for now, see who works out best. Commitments should be avoided for now.
Saturn Direct For Leo
Saturn stationing direct that same day certainly helps those fun vibes along. You have probably felt very constricted and kept frustrated for months- but, some of that will abate now. Though your love life may have felt a bit on the tedious or dull side, you may find things pick up just a bit now. Creative endeavours are also favoured.
Once Mercury’s retrograde motion moves into your sign on the 31st, you’ll find things a bit chaotic, Leo. Take care to communicate clearly and make sure you’re understood- as well as fully understanding, before you react to anything. You’ll find patience gets you through this briefly hectic period without long term consequence.
Virgo August 2017 Monthly Horoscopes
Inner Vision
To begin your August 2017 Monthly Horoscopes, the month begins on a bit of a chaotic note. Uranus, stationing retrograde on the 3rd in Aries, may bring you a lot of challenges in moving forward. Though you may have been trying to do better, you may find you stall out here and there. It’s important to take the time to adjust to things and in doing so, further refine your plans.
The Lunar Eclipse For Virgo
As we go into the month more, on the 7th, the Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius brings chances to wrap things up. You will find the limelight is on you a bit but, you’re also looking into better things. In order to make these changes, however- you must let go of what does not work, now. If you attempt to move forward without closing those doors, you’ll find yourself overwhelmed. Another thing of note is that as you make improvements- you’ll need to learn balance. Keep yourself grounded and find ways of reducing stressful situations where you can. There is no better time to rid yourself of a bad habit or two.
Mercury Retrograde
You know, I hardly hear of anyone who finds Mercury retrograde as maddening as you do, Virgo? One thing you may do, starting now, is commit yourself to making this one better- your attention to detail will help you. You know that during these cycles, it’s usually the little things that hang you up. Take care of those before the planet stations retrograde- and organize things better. If you do find yourself having to repeat certain tasks, take care not to allow frustration to make you rush. Take your time as best you can. You’d be surprised at what beautiful new beginnings can stem from such times- but, pay attention and you’ll make the most of them.
Solar Eclipse in Leo
Once the big Solar Eclipse takes place on the 21st, you’ll find a more subtle approach benefits you. Though you may not be keen on attention, you’re also not looking to get anyone else in on your plans- which may be intelligent for now. You’ll see the chances you should take, but proceed with caution- you’ll find this works out best for you.
Happy birthday, Virgo!
The Sun moves into your sign on the 22nd- and its Virgo season for sure. Though for a couple of weeks, you’ll find it challenging, rewards will come through. Stay the course and take care of the details- don’t allow yourself to get frustrated by temporary setbacks.
Venus in Leo
On the 25th, a welcome reprieve moves through things as Venus moves into Leo. Spending a bit of time alone recharges you as does connecting with your inner voice a bit. You begin to have a greater sense of what you want and need in love, which can help you to recognize it when you see it.
Saturn Direct For Virgo
On this same day, Saturn stations direct. Though you may have dealt with some challenging times over the course of the past few months, you’ll find the tension abates. You’re going to be feeling a bit more emotionally open and it’s good to get things off your chest.
Though you’ll still be feeling a bit out of it, given Mercury is your ruler- as the month comes to a close, its retrograde moves into Leo. This can have you digging in deep, ferreting out secrets and being a bit less inclined to hide in the shadows.
Libra August 2017 Monthly Horoscopes
Solid Relationships
Aries, as it happens, is the sign opposite Libra- which means Uranus stationing retrograde in that sign brings some interesting things. Indeed, an important factor for Librans in your August 2017 monthly horoscopes, are that you may find that your love life and closest relationships get a bit of a shake up. You may either want changes to occur that just don’t seem to be- or you may wish things would stay a little bit more comfortable. Either way, note that the Universe is pushing you in a direction and you should pay attention. Don’t act rashly, however, be ready to act.
The Lunar Eclipse For Libra
The eclipse happens in Aquarius on the 7th and this will help you close some doors or make some things right, Libra. You will find that sometimes, this means cutting some ties- but, it’s good to make way for emotional connections that truly satisfy. Attempting to move on before you’ve cut those ties never works out well- let alone during this particular set of planetary influences. It’s best you allow yourself to gravitate towards the connections that allow you emotional freedom.
Mercury Retrograde
This Mercury retrograde on the 12th may have you feeling a bit like nostalgia is a trap- or rather, that it’s a bit too tempting to ignore. It’s wiser still to avoid returning to old problems, and please, for those of you it applies to: do not take that ex back. You should remember that there’s a reason you split. For you, this retrograde cycle will bring back issues from your past both lovely and not so lovely- so take care not to allow yourself to head back that direction. Stick to the present and continue moving forward. Anything that you let go of now will help you be open to much better things.
Solar Eclipse in Leo
The Solar Eclipse in Leo is on the 21st and there’s good reason it’s got so many talking. You’ll find for you, Libra, it helps you interact with new and interesting people. You’ll feel like there’s a bit more progress now, and like optimism has returned to your life. Additionally, you may feel a bit more inclined towards trying new things- which is fine, but take care not to take unneeded risks.
Sun Moves Into Virgo
You may find a bit of that optimism gets challenged, Libra. When the Sun moves into Virgo, it will shine a light on those things you need to let go of. This is not comfortable in most cases, but needed. Allow yourself the time to sort those things so you can move on unencumbered by baggage. Trust this is VERY temporary, and understand this is due to Mercury being retrograde in Virgo, as well. It will soon pass.
Venus in Leo
Once your ruler Venus moves into Leo on the 25th, you’ll find you feel a bit more sociable. You’re ready to get back into the things you’ve felt you abandoned or perhaps were too busy to pursue. You might find that your love life gets a boost if you can work more towards building or rebuilding the base friendship at heart.
Saturn Direct For Libra
Furthering those good feelings- as Saturn stations direct that same day in Sagittarius, you’ll feel much more hopeful. Saturn’s retrograde may have had you feeling you had to hold back, to keep your feelings to yourself but, now, you feel more emotionally free. You may find you feel a little more ready to open up to others, as well.
You will find one more round of challenges as Mercury, in retrograde, moves from Virgo into Leo on the 31st. Absolutely bear in mind, you’re just feeling a momentary push of restless, impatient energy- it will pass very shortly as we go into September. Be very careful not to allow your temporary feelings to cause you to pursue a long term course.
Scorpio August 2017 Monthly Horoscopes
Shaken Up
Our month begins with a reminder not to be so stuck in your ways, Scorpio. Uranus retrograde’s influence will be with us for a few months starting on the 3rd, in Aries. It is going to be very important that you begin to be a bit more flexible in your career- or be stuck. You may find you’ve either been struggling with impending changes or you’ve been trying to make changes that won’t budge. Learning to roll with those changes now will save you quite a lot of grief.
The Lunar Eclipse For Scorpio
This month’s lunar eclipse on the 3rd is in Aquarius. You’ll find that this enables you to work on issues at home, smoothe things out with family.

You’ll find that you are able to form or strengthen foundations that really have promise.
Mercury Retrograde
On the 12th, Mercury stations retrograde in Virgo. This is going to bring about the usual Mercury retrograde issues with technology and communication but, for you, Scorpio, there’s more. You may find that you are questioning quite a lot. Things you had felt were solid, but now you might feel like throwing in the towel. For now, use this time to further analyse things, rather than act. There may in fact be some things you need to change, but, others can do with some compromise. Ultimately you will find this cycle combined with other factors seems to be driving you to be a bit more in line with your actual ethics, rather than that of the crowd.
Solar Eclipse in Leo
Moving on into the month, we’ve got a Solar Eclipse in Leo on the 21st. This will bring about a time of vast change for you, Scorpio. Think about those things you’ve been questioning and what you can do to truly progress. You’ll find that now begins a time when you can be quite compelling to the right people. Still, do not come to them empty handed, should you decide to join forces. Show them what you have to offer for best results.
Sun Moves Into Virgo
As the Sun moves into Virgo on the 22nd, you’ll find those Mercury retrograde issues rise up again. Things may feel a bit tense as you are being directed towards paying closer attention and finally resolving things.
Venus in Leo

Saturn Direct For Scorpio
Saturn also stations direct that day, which you know brings relief. If you’ve felt you couldn’t move forward the past few months or somehow held back- now’s the time to free yourself. You will notice that you feel a bit more secure as you work on goals and settle matters with your career. New ideas may have great potential, but for now, continue to flesh them out.
As we close out the month, you may find that as Mercury retrograde moves into Leo, things get a bit tense. However, if you allow yourself to compromise and meet others halfway, it gets easier. Keeping things on an even keel will help you to continue progressing.
Sagittarius August 2017 Monthly Horoscopes
New Grounds
As your August 2017 monthly horoscopes open, and Uranus stations retrograde in Aries on the 3rd, you’ll find yourself dealing with some issues in your love life, Sagittarius.

Take care not to leap before you look- now’s not the time for rash decisions.
The Lunar Eclipse For Sagittarius
On the 7th, there’s a Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius which will give you a bit more room to open up. Opening up, as it turns out, is just what you should do. Allow yourself to express the full truth- and you’ll find you are free for having done so. Though this may mean letting go of some things, it may be time to turn a corner, anyway.
Mercury Retrograde
As we move on to the 12th, you’ll find Mercury’s retrograde in Virgo brings you a strong sense of overwhelm. Thinking about all the things you want to do, the things you have to do, and everything in between may really weigh on you. Allow yourself to express the things you need to, and you’ll find some clarity. Be realistic and patient with yourself, Sagittarius and you’ll find it all to be less worrying.
Solar Eclipse in Leo
As we go into the Solar Eclipse in Leo on the 21st, you’ll find you feel a bit more optimistic. Being able to make some plans and take active steps in them will help. Remember, you’re still dealing with those retrogrades so you won’t want to jump headlong, yet- but, it’s good to think. As you do that, you’ll feel a stronger sense of purpose and hope, which will help. A new perspective may change everything.
Sun Moves Into Virgo
As the Sun moves into Virgo on the 22nd, you’ll find that the concerns you had with Mercury retrograde get a bit of a highlight. Try not to allow yourself to worry so much that you get overwhelmed, but rather, pay attention. The issues you face can be sorted, but taking a step at a time will be key.
Venus in Leo

As your August 2017 monthly horoscopes reach the end of the month, you’ll find Mercury retrograde’s dip back into Leo is a little problematic as it makes you feel scatter brained. Making decisions may be a bit hard and focus hard won. The best thing you can do for now is probably to continue to think on things a bit more before you act.
Capricorn August 2017 Monthly Horoscope
Emotional Depths
Emotional issues rise to the surface, Capricorn. As Uranus stations retrograde on the 3rd, you’ll find that changes bring about heavy emotional states. You may feel a bit rigid about the way that you feel, however, adapting and keeping an open heart can help with that the next couple months.
The Lunar Eclipse For Capricorn
The lunar eclipse on the 7th in Aquarius may bring about some more hopeful times. You’ll find yourself working more towards stability and wanting to mellow some things out.

Mercury Retrograde
You may find that this Mercury retrograde in Virgo on the 12th gets you a bit restless. You want for space but at the same time, you want for stability- a hard conflict. You’ve got to be careful with the conflict at play there. Don’t say things you do not mean in the heat of the moment and try not to react so intensely. You may question quite a lot now, but keep exploring that. It isn’t the time to act on things, but rather, allow yourself to be more open. Sometimes, expressing yourself feels vulnerable and scary- but worth it. Do so clearly.
Solar Eclipse in Leo
The Solar Eclipse in Leo is a very good thing, Capricorn. On the 21st, you may find that collaborations and joining forces looks appealing. This is because it is. Work on that, but also, work on the problems you’ve had, holding you back from being as open to things as you could be. You may also find yourself feeling a bit more brooding and contemplating huge changes. Right now may not be the best time to enact them, but you’re on the right track.
Sun Moves Into Virgo
Be careful, a bit of a hiccup happens once the Sun moves into Virgo on the 22nd. You’ll find that those issues that got brought up by Mercury’s retrograde intensify a bit. Allow yourself to take care of them once and for all, now.
