This Month’s Horoscope Overview

by

August 2024 Monthly Overview

I center my attention on the astrological energy shifts unfolding in August 2024. My first focus lies in understanding the pivotal moments when planets change signs, as this can greatly affect their optimal functioning.

Moving forward, I look into the influence of New and Full Moons, along with any eclipses that might manifest during this month. These celestial events can have a significant impact on our lives and emotions.

Additionally, I examine the retrogrades of the planets, which signal a decrease in energy and call for a reevaluation of past situations associated with those specific planets. It’s a time to reflect and gain insights from the past.

Lastly, I will highlight some key astrological moments that will shape the month, offering valuable insights into the prevailing energies and their potential impact on our lives.

Here are the main planetary energy shifts and changes that will be in effect during August 2024.

Ingresses

This month, four planets change signs.

The Sun: Pisces Season

In the third week of the month the Sun leaves Leo and enters Virgo.

This is known as Virgo season even though it only lasts around thirty days.

Where the Sun travels Mercury and Venus are not far behind which brings a lot of planetary energy to the sign.

Mercury Stationing Direct in Leo: August 28, 2024

On August 28, 2024, Mercury stations direct in Leo, marking the end of its retrograde period.

This shift brings clarity and forward momentum, particularly in areas related to communication, creativity, and self-expression.

After a period of introspection and re-evaluation, this is a time to move forward with renewed confidence and clarity.

Issues that may have felt stalled or confusing during the retrograde phase will start to resolve, allowing for smoother communication and decision-making.

It’s an opportune moment to finalize plans, clarify intentions, and embrace new opportunities with a fresh perspective.

Starzology Horoscopes

Which Sign to Read

These horoscopes are written for Ascendant signs. If you know your Ascendant sign then read that horoscope. Otherwise, read your Sun sign, and while you’re at it, think about getting your chart cast so you will know your Ascendant sign for the future.

About My Horoscopes

These horoscopes consider the changing planetary energies throughout each month.

In general, I look at three things:

  • Ingresses
  • Lunations
  • Stations

If there are other important events happening during a month, I may write about them as well, it just depends.

Horoscope Themes

I like to look on the positive side and find something uplifting to say for each sign. When I prepare my horoscopes, I consider planetary movements, planetary energies and shifts that occur in the natural rhythms. I also like to pay attention to New Moons and Full Moons when they impact a particular sign significantly.

I do consider planets stationing retrograde or turning direct as these movement shifts do make a difference in the way the planet can express its energy especially if they impact the sign as well. All my horoscopes are written with love and care.

Astrological Overview

Time Zone

Starzology horoscopes are set for Universal Time Zone (UT) which is the old Greenwich Mean Time. (GMT). If you live in the eastern hemisphere, like some of Europe, Asia, Australia and most of Africa, these dates may occur the day after the ones mentioned. If you live in the western hemisphere, like the USA, Canada and South America, these dates may occur the day before the ones mentioned.

What to Look For Each Month

As the planets move through the zodiac, they change signs and adjust their direction. Each planet has a couple of particular signs that they really love to be in and with which they resonate well. These shifts of planetary energy are what we astrologers look at.

 

Ingresses

These horoscopes consider the planets changing signs or ingressing. Several planets change signs each month and this can vary. When a planet goes from one sign into the next it may benefit or have its energy reduced. How well a planet is placed in a sign is known as essential dignity.

Lunations

I look at the New Moon and the Full Moon or any Solar or Lunar Eclipses when they occur. Eclipses only happen in a couple of months each year. You can get a PDF copy of the full list of the 2024 Lunations below.

Stations

Considerations is given to any planet that stations in a month. A station is when a planet appears to stop and turn direction. Planets can either station retrograde (begin to move backwards) or station direct (begin to move forwards). It depends on the planet and your own Sun sign whether a station may heavily affect you or not so much.
