Your August 2024 Horoscope for Aquarius
by Susan Miller
August seems perfectly shaped for play. If you are part of the workforce, you will have to concentrate with great focus to keep your mind on your work because clearly, in August, you won’t want to be there. Considering that almost all your planets are begging you to take time off, maybe you should give into this theme. If you have vacation days coming to you, by all means think about what you’d like to do, buy your ticket, and go.
No matter what your marital status happens to be, romance is in the air, and it would be a shame not to indulge in it. Let’s have a look at what the happy little planets are doing, for I want to show you what is making me so optimistic about your blossoming love life. For a long time, I had little to say about love and romance for you, and now I can’t stop!
The new moon will arrive in Leo, 13 degrees, on August 4 in your seventh house of serious, committed partnerships, marriage, and collaborations. If you have been dating someone you love and are serious about each other, you may soon get engaged. This is a lovely new moon, full of sugar and spice. A new moon opens a portal of energy and is operative for close to six months, but it is extremely strong in the week to 10 days after the new moon appears.
This new moon August 4 will receive affirming greetings from BOTH action-oriented Mars and happiness planet Jupiter from your fifth house of true love. The way astrology works is that when you meet someone new who intrigues you and who you want to know better, that’s a fifth house matter. The fifth house is all about the first exciting spark of new of love. It is a house associated with fun, sports, leisure, entertainment, and time away from work. It also is the house ruling children—that is, pregnancy, birth, and the care for children. Another part of this beautiful part of the chart is that the fifth house rules your imagination, artistry, and creativity. All these topics are blossoming for you, dear Aquarius.
