Your Monthly Work Horoscope for August 2024
Aries
The month starts off with the new moon in Leo connecting you with colleagues on August 4. It’s a prime time to network with people from the past that you worked with and those you are longing to connect with for future endeavors.
The Mercury retrograde is making your workload feel more intense than ever. It’s important to take time out from your busy schedule to focus on yourself. The more TLC you give to yourself, the easier it’ll be to get through the day and take care of business. The blue moon in Aquarius on the nineteenth urges you to embrace such sentiments before experiencing burnout from taking on too many projects.
You’ll feel a positive shift occur in your professional environment when the sun enters Virgo on August 22.
Taurus
The new moon in Leo on August 4 is pushing you to achieve new heights and tackle professional challenges head-on. It’ll give you the push that you need to achieve your goals for the future. The caveat is that you may not want to stay on the same path, especially since the new moon in Leo is helping your career evolve in different ways.
You’ll begin to feel and see the shift during the blue moon on the nineteenth. Thinking outside the box is going to be easier than ever for your artistic self now that the cosmos is helping you keep up with the latest creative developments and updates. Think of this as your chance to experiment and explore all aspects of your career and decide how you wish to move forward. The blue moon allows you to pivot into a new professional space, but only if you’re ready.
Gemini
The month ahead offers you the chance to expand your overall knowledge through educating yourself. This could be the time that you take your boss up on their offer to take classes or be a part of lectures that advance your skills.
The Mercury retrograde, which commences on August 4 and lasts until August 28, encourages you to broaden your intellectual horizons. All the more reason for you to lean into these opportunities when they are brought to your attention. The only thing standing in your way is Mercury’s backward spin. You might feel overwhelmed and unable to take on everything that’s landed on your plate (even the classes that you planned on taking).
The sun’s entrance into Virgo on the twenty-second will give you a soft push to go for the gold and pursue your goals, but not as much as the blue moon in Aquarius on the nineteenth will.
Cancer
This month is an ideal time to get your finances in order. The Leo new moon on August 4 pushes you to ask for a raise at work and to take care of looming credit card debt.
The blue moon in Aquarius on the nineteenth allows you to see the errors in your financial plan and start fresh. Luckily, these lunations are a good time to do so. You’ll be more confident in your abilities to start a wise savings plan, which is going to lead to a lush bank account (once you start putting money aside for the future). Then you’ll be able to thrive and survive through the Mercury retrograde, which begins on August 4 and ends on August 28, and won’t have to stretch a dollar. This will make you feel better and more positive about your money situation going forward.
Leo
The month ahead will have you reassessing partnerships at work, especially during the new moon on August 4. This will help you understand such dynamics and how you can navigate them.
The only concern to be aware of is that the blue moon on the nineteenth gives you the opportunity to do your own thing, which could ruffle some feathers of those you are working with. Instead of hiding things from them, be transparent about all of the professional aspects that are happening in your personal world to ensure that jealousies don’t come to fruition during Mercury’s backspin in your sun sign.
The sun’s entry into Virgo on August 22 offers you the perfect time to start discussing the matter with colleagues in an effort to be honest and direct.
Virgo
August is a complicated month for you. The first half of the month urges you to take a step back and focus on yourself. Considering that you’re constantly on the move and working, this is a good way to unwind and relax. The more time you give to healing and chilling, the easier it’ll be to take on the frustrations that are brewing at work.
The first day of your solar return, August 22, also marks the last week of the Mercury retrograde (which will be moonwalking from August 4 to August 28). Problems will start to arise at this time at work. Disorganization is going to be at a high and is going to create complications with your boss if you don’t deal with matters efficiently (doing that will be hard to do).
The blue moon in Aquarius on the nineteenth adds irritations and stress to your life when issues with your boss arise.
Libra
The new moon on August 4 heightens your sense of self and pushes you to believe in your professional aspirations.
The blue moon in Aquarius on the nineteenth is helping you gravitate to your hopes and aspirations. For the longest time you haven’t taken action toward achieving your dreams, and now you are wanting to take action, especially when Venus connects with your sign on August 29. This energy will give you the gusto and push to strive toward greatness.
As the month nears the end, you’ll be drawn to add and incorporate more unique ideologies. This astrological aspect helps you gain the confidence and seek out the advice needed to pursue your desires. Not only that, but it’ll give you the motivation to ask for a raise at work.
Scorpio
Looking back isn’t going to solve any issues, so it’s best to keep that in mind when assessing your future plans. The new moon on August 4 may hold you back from moving forward since it kicks off Mercury retrograde which lasts until August 28, but only if you dwell on past mistakes. Don’t be too hard on yourself, because you can’t change the past. Learn from your mistakes and be sure not to make them again.
The good news is that the blue moon in Leo on the nineteenth pushes you toward taking and making a fresh professional start, which will catapult you forward into the professional place and space you want. This will give you a chance to refresh and reignite your career. By month’s end, you’ll see the trajectory of your career start to evolve, all because you believed in yourself and focused on the future.
Sagittarius
In the weeks ahead, you’ll have the stamina and gusto to take on more projects. The only problem is that you won’t be able to say no to your boss who’s trying to control your career plans by directing you in ways that you wouldn’t otherwise pursue. Standing up and taking charge will be hard this week, even more so since Mercury is retrograde and affecting the relationship you have with coworkers.
By the time the blue moon occurs on August 19, your capacity for nonsense and limit will diminish. You’ll come out of August knowing that you must set boundaries at work in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle for yourself. After all, the drama, anxiety, and long hours aren’t worth it in the end if you’re not being compensated in the right financial way.
Capricorn
The month ahead will make you eager to be in the know when it comes to working situations and dynamics. The new moon on August 4 will open your ears up to news that is buzzing around the office, even if the facts of the story are false and not real. Mercury’s retrograde begins the same day, allowing us to take the information with a grain of salt.
The blue moon in Aquarius on the nineteenth helps us to overcome the gossip, which will luckily be cleared up by then. Then you can fully begin to start anew at work.
The sun enters Virgo on August 22 and Venus moves into Libra on August 29, times to clear the air and hear truths around the office that juxtapose the rumors that have been plaguing your mind.
Aquarius
The new moon on August 4 is your time to shine, even though there is a ton of drama happening with colleagues, contracts, and partnerships, all of which is stressing you out. The silver lining is that the new moon offers you the chance to have a fresh start with those you work with. Before you know it, the vibe will change and shift for the better.
Fortunately, the blue moon on the nineteenth increases your confidence and helps you move forward, even though the issues at work feel as though they are nonstop. These situations won’t get that much better, but you’re on the way to not caring so much about what your coworkers think about you because you get the job done (and vice versa). What you’ll eventually come to learn is that there are no personal feelings in business.
Pisces
August skies bring complications to your career. With Mercury retrograde commencing on August 4, the same time the new moon is hitting your chart, you may be unsure of who you can properly align with on work projects. At this time, you’ll feel as though it’s easier to do everything yourself, which will be the opposite of true.
Try not to take on too many responsibilities until the blue moon on the nineteenth to ensure you don’t lose yourself in a sea of work. You’ll realize the importance of creating limits. That is, after you are totally exhausted and run down from all the energy you give every day to making deadlines. Find balance in your life to ensure you have a healthy and productive mindset without the extra work burden.
