Overview for this Month: Aquarius (All)
August 2020 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius:
August can find you in a generally upbeat, positive mood, dear Aquarius. You're quick to tackle problems, but you're also quite focused on your relationships, enjoying brainstorming and collaborating. It's a dynamic and energetic time for mental pursuits, interests, and projects. You especially enjoy sharing ideas.
You can come to a satisfying position if you combine resources and work together with someone special. You want to get things done, and you're unusually direct and straightforward with Mars in your communications sector all month. With Mercury in your partnership sector until the 19th, however, you're also ready to collaborate. Opposing viewpoints help you arrive it a fuller understanding of your own. Even when you disagree with someone, the thinking that results from a debate can help clarify your own thoughts. Still, mental cooperation with others is more important to you than usual in the first half of August. It can be a good time for opening the airwaves with a partner, significant other, or a good friend. People in your life can help you get in better touch with your ideas–conversations with them jumpstart your thinking processes.
The Full Moon on the 3rd gives you a little push to confront your feelings. It happens in your own sign, prompting an epiphany or realization. Something buried or an issue that has been brewing for some time can come to light, finding release. Emotions that surface can point you to areas of your life that need more attention. It can be a time of great enthusiasm, strong drives, and passionate feelings, but also of excess. Consider that your interests are plenty, but your time is limited! Watch for putting so much pressure on yourself to get something done that you end up impatient and frustrated.
Venus enters your work and health sector on the 7th for a month-long visit. While Venus moves out of a harmonious position with your sign, this new cycle is useful for bringing harmony to your daily affairs or work. It can also be a time of increased social opportunities through work, chores, daily routines, or health pursuits.
Your ruler, Uranus, begins its yearly five-month retrograde cycle on the 15th. During its tour of your solar fourth house, there have been some up-in-the-air elements related to your home or personal life. Now, during this retrograde cycle, you might catch your breath and examine what you need and want along these fronts. With a slower pace, you have a better chance of understanding what's going on around you. Your attitude towards security, dependence, attachment to the past, and family or domestic life will continue to evolve over the upcoming years. Until January, while Uranus is retrograde, you might aim to recognize and modify your responses to the world so that changes are less random.
The New Moon on the 18th can point to a significant restart, new start, or new beginning in the relationship department. It can be a time to enhance relationships, strike up deals, negotiate, and connect. You might benefit from counseling or pairing up with someone to accomplish a goal. Alternatively, you may come to meaningful conclusions about your relationship needs.
Mercury moves into your intimacy sector on the 19th, and the Sun follows suit on the 22nd. These shifts point to a strong and growing interest in the hidden elements of your life. You pick up a lot more from your environment than usual and see motives, subtleties, and power dynamics acutely. You might have less patience for conversation, information, or learning that is superficial.
You're in great shape for instinctively finding the information you need this month. It's also a fine time for significant lifestyle or financial changes, particularly later in August. It's harder to break your concentration as you are far less sensitive to potential distractions. With this focus, you can move mountains.

Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) and Aquarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius:
August 2020 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 21st:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar seventh house--your partnership sector. This can be a time of much learning through the mirror of close relationships. It's not the time to push your agenda or personal plans forward; rather, it's a cycle in which you are at your best when you recognize the need to form alliances, to give back to a special someone, and to compromise in order to find some balance in your life.
It's a strong period for putting yourself into another person's shoes and to better understand him/her. You may be meeting with someone strong and assertive by nature now, or a partner is more assertive and needy of attention. There may be some competitive feelings between you and a significant other now. Focus is on reconciliation, forming or cementing bonds, diplomacy, consultation, one-on-one interactions, and negotiations. You may feel a little drained physically now, temporarily.
From August 22nd forward:
The Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.
All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets.
This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until August 7th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fifth house. Your popularity is on an upward trend during this cycle as others find you especially attractive and friendly. You may have the desire to dress well and in good taste. There is strength in your feelings of love and the power of attraction, which may open the door to new romantic relationships. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Conditions are highlighted in connection with young people, and quite possibly a female child--a stronger bond could be formed during this period. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
From August 7th forward:
Venus graces your solar sixth house now. Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work! Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 4th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar sixth house. This is an excellent cycle for improving your skills, objectively identifying your weaknesses so that you can work on them, and for finding flaws in your work methods or approach to daily activities so that you can make necessary changes.
You might be especially focused on list-making and to-do lists, as well as organizing things around you. The need to communicate about your work, health, and other daily affairs, or with co-workers, is especially strong now. Negative expression of this position is worrying about sixth house matters (work, health, pets, and so forth) rather than finding ways to improve these things.
From August 5-19:
Mercury transits your solar seventh house. You tend to weigh the pros and cons of every issue during this cycle, taking into account others' needs as well as your own. Some indecisiveness is possible now, simply because you naturally entertain opposing viewpoints. You have a strong desire to cooperate and communicate with others now. You feel most comfortable spending time with people on a one-to-one level, or with those with whom you share a personal history.
Interestingly, your own thoughts become clearer through dialogue with others during this window. You may be doing public relations work, counseling, negotiating, or arbitration during this cycle. There is a lot of emphasis on communications with partners and best friends at this time. You can use the power of words to advise others or to make peace with people in your life. You are more diplomatic than usual during this transit.
From August 20th forward:
Mercury transits your solar eighth house. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing.
Research is also highly favored. It's easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to activate and energize your solar third house now. You may be especially busy running errands and tending to daily activities during this cycle. It's a strong time for putting your energy into intellectual projects or studies. You tend to communicate in a more direct manner now, and you might want to be careful that you don't come across as insensitive or abrasive. You may find it too easy to become impatient with others if they seem to be taking up too much of your time, such as with other drivers or with people who are not speaking as directly as you are. Channel your extra energy into mental tasks so that this transit can be highly stimulating (instead of stressful).
Note that Mars sticks around this area of your solar chart for much longer than usual–until January 6th, 2021.

August 2020 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me".
You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It's important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.

Aquarius (Born February 10-19) and Aquarius Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Aquarius:
August 2020 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 11th:
The Sun continues to spotlight your solar sixth house. This is a busy period that finds you tending to many different details of your daily existence--your work, various projects, organization around the home and office, your daily routines, and health matters. Your ego may be especially tied up in the work you do, so that you are proud and more creative than usual in your job. You may be in the position to take charge in your work, or to take charge of your health and diet. Sometimes this cycle relates to increased activities involving pets. You seek to perfect your skills or methods now, and you focus on the parts that make up the whole now in order to improve your daily life. As a result, you can be more critical than usual, but this process is necessary for you to sort out what works for you and what doesn't.
From August 12th forward:
The Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself.

Until the 14th:

You might be especially focused on list-making and to-do lists, as well as organizing things around you. The need to communicate about your work, health, and other daily affairs, or with co-workers, is especially strong now. Negative expression of this position is worrying about sixth house matters (work, health, pets, and so forth) rather than finding ways to improve these things.
From the 15-30:
Mercury transits your solar seventh house. You tend to weigh the pros and cons of every issue during this cycle, taking into account others' needs as well as your own. Some indecisiveness is possible now, simply because you naturally entertain opposing viewpoints. You have a strong desire to cooperate and communicate with others now. You feel most comfortable spending time with people on a one-to-one level, or with those with whom you share a personal history.

Research is also highly favored. It's easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 4th:
Mars continues to energize your solar second house. You tend to put more effort into making money or making your life more comfortable and secure during this cycle. Your strong desire to be financially independent could lead to positive things, such as paying off debts or increased enterprise. The opposite side of the coin is asserting your independence by making impulsive purchases or taking risks with your money. You are more protective of the way you earn or spend money, as well as with the values you live your life by, and if others question you about these things, there could be arguments.
From the 5th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar third house during this period. You are likely to have many ideas and plans going during this transit, and you might be inclined to scatter your energies as a result.
Channelled well, however, this is a good time to sell your ideas to others, or to present your case in some manner. You may be especially busy running errands and communicating with others now.
More articulate than usual, you may also have a more assertive, self-centered, or provocative communication style at this time. As such, discussions might more readily become heated or they might escalate into arguments. If this is the case, it's likely because you are taking things very personally right now, or because you are over-identifying with your beliefs and ideas.
A tendency to be impatient or impulsive while driving or while performing manual tasks, generally with the hands, may lead to accidents, so it's wise to be careful on the road or while operating machinery or even using scissors! This is an excellent time for working on intellectual tasks with more vigor and passion.
Mars will continue to transit this area of your solar chart for longer than usual–until February 2021.
Overview Horoscope:
August 2020 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius:
August can find you in a generally upbeat, positive mood, dear Aquarius. You're quick to tackle problems, but you're also quite focused on your relationships, enjoying brainstorming and collaborating. It's a dynamic and energetic time for mental pursuits, interests, and projects. You especially enjoy sharing ideas.
You can come to a satisfying position if you combine resources and work together with someone special. You want to get things done, and you're unusually direct and straightforward with Mars in your communications sector all month. With Mercury in your partnership sector until the 19th, however, you're also ready to collaborate. Opposing viewpoints help you arrive it a fuller understanding of your own. Even when you disagree with someone, the thinking that results from a debate can help clarify your own thoughts. Still, mental cooperation with others is more important to you than usual in the first half of August. It can be a good time for opening the airwaves with a partner, significant other, or a good friend. People in your life can help you get in better touch with your ideas–conversations with them jumpstart your thinking processes.
The Full Moon on the 3rd gives you a little push to confront your feelings. It happens in your own sign, prompting an epiphany or realization. Something buried or an issue that has been brewing for some time can come to light, finding release. Emotions that surface can point you to areas of your life that need more attention. It can be a time of great enthusiasm, strong drives, and passionate feelings, but also of excess. Consider that your interests are plenty, but your time is limited! Watch for putting so much pressure on yourself to get something done that you end up impatient and frustrated.
Venus enters your work and health sector on the 7th for a month-long visit. While Venus moves out of a harmonious position with your sign, this new cycle is useful for bringing harmony to your daily affairs or work. It can also be a time of increased social opportunities through work, chores, daily routines, or health pursuits.
Your ruler, Uranus, begins its yearly five-month retrograde cycle on the 15th. During its tour of your solar fourth house, there have been some up-in-the-air elements related to your home or personal life. Now, during this retrograde cycle, you might catch your breath and examine what you need and want along these fronts. With a slower pace, you have a better chance of understanding what's going on around you. Your attitude towards security, dependence, attachment to the past, and family or domestic life will continue to evolve over the upcoming years. Until January, while Uranus is retrograde, you might aim to recognize and modify your responses to the world so that changes are less random.
The New Moon on the 18th can point to a significant restart, new start, or new beginning in the relationship department. It can be a time to enhance relationships, strike up deals, negotiate, and connect. You might benefit from counseling or pairing up with someone to accomplish a goal. Alternatively, you may come to meaningful conclusions about your relationship needs.
Mercury moves into your intimacy sector on the 19th, and the Sun follows suit on the 22nd. These shifts point to a strong and growing interest in the hidden elements of your life. You pick up a lot more from your environment than usual and see motives, subtleties, and power dynamics acutely. You might have less patience for conversation, information, or learning that is superficial.
You're in great shape for instinctively finding the information you need this month. It's also a fine time for significant lifestyle or financial changes, particularly later in August. It's harder to break your concentration as you are far less sensitive to potential distractions. With this focus, you can move mountains.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the seventh house of your solar chart from July 22 to August 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both July and August’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
