August always has a special flavour, as there’s a lot of Leo energy in the sky, which usually gives us a lot of confidence. However, this month we’ll have Mercury retrograde which, in the midst of all this, asks us to step out of the limelight and take a break. Check the Astrological Calendar August 2024!

1st fortnight of the Astrological Calendar August 2024
We begin the month with the energy of a New Moon in Leo, while Venus enters Virgo, calling for attention to a possible increase in demands in the relationship.
As far as work is concerned, your ambition and desire to progress are heightened, making you more keen to pursue things that are meaningful to you and to get the recognition you deserve, especially from the 5th, when Mercury goes retrograde.
The Moon reaches its crescent phase on the 12th in the sign of Scorpio, which helps a lot in the movements of change and detachment, as well as in the elucidation of the things you might have to change about yourself in order to reach the version you want to be.
On the 15th, Mercury retrograde leaves the sign of Virgo and enters Leo, which can be a great help in better evaluating your decisions concerning not only work, but also your self-confidence. Then wait until the 28th, when the situation becomes more favourable for making decisions and you’ll be more sure of the path you need to take.
2nd fortnight
On the 14th, Mars conjuncts Jupiter in Gemini and urges you to be cautious about any exaggerations, especially when communicating. With Mercury retrograde still in the sky, it’s important to think about the impact of the information you transmit.
The Moon reaches its full phase in Aquarius on the 19th and reminds you that all that is incredible in you can be used for the good of all. So you need to bring your authenticity out into the open, remembering that at the end of the day, everyone is totally unique, even if they try to fit into groups or patterns.
We begin the Virgo season with the Sun entering this sign on the 23rd, bringing plenty of energy for work, but also asking you not to forget to look after your health with the same dedication. The way to do this is to get organised!
The following day, Mercury in Leo makes a sextile with Mars in Gemini, bringing a great deal of clarity and confidence to everything that the period has been making you think about. You have a lot of strength and courage to express yourself and do the things that make sense to you, so if you feel a strong urge to do something, do it with great care and attention, as we’re still in the MR period which ends on the 28th.
On the 29th, Venus enters Libra, beginning a very favourable astrological period for relationships, after Mercury’s retrograde, which could encourage more harmonious conversations and agreements on what’s best for each of you.
