Your August 2021 Horoscope Is Here, And The Universe Has A Message For You

Welcome to the home stretch of summer! The sun is shining, the beach is beckoning, and the universe is sending a message your way: Soak it all in.

To kick things off this August, the new moon in Leo on the 8th will make you just want to get out and play like a kid again. Wanna build a sand castle? Hand over the shovel. Play hooky with a midweek matinee (free air-conditioning, yes!)? One ticket, please. Weekend pool party? You’re so there.

Fast forward to the end of the month, and there’s a full moon happening in Aquarius on the 22nd, urging you to spend some quality time with your friends and just enjoy life. You’ll be hyper aware that summer is wrapping up, and you’ll want to make the most of every moment.

When the Sun moves into Virgo on the 22nd, you’ll feel an urge to start getting your life in order. Is everything good on the career/workout/health front? It’s time for a gut check. Meanwhile, Mars is hanging out in work-oriented Virgo all month, giving you tons of energy to get sh*t done, whether it’s mixing up craft watermelon cocktails for the neighborhood BBQ, trying out a new exercise routine, or nailing that big presentation at work.

Here's what else is in store for your zodiac sign this month, according to Donna Page, a professional astrologer with a graduate degree in counseling psychology.
