Overview for this Month: Aquarius (All)
August 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius:
Relationships and negotiations often take center stage this month, dear Aquarius. You seek more absorbing activities. There can be much discussion and compromise going on in your life. It can be a time to attract or enhance a partnership or make a commitment.
Activity in your partnership sector this month can motivate you to put forward a solid effort to relate and interact in positive, rewarding ways. If you want to start fresh or change your relationship state or status, the period after the New Moon on the 8th is vital for setting your intentions. If you need a fresh start in a partnership, this lunation can provide it. It’s also strong for seeing yourself through someone's eyes, taking steps to improve your connections with others, and finding ways to bring more balance, harmony, and beauty into your life, in general.
You are likely to attract intelligent or interesting people into your experience. More importantly, your interactions with others hold tremendous potential for fresh ideas and thinking. You might discover a missing puzzle piece of information. Let others lead the talks now, and listen carefully. There may be new clarity or a turning point in a relationship for some of you in the first part of August.
While you’re friendly and pleasant this month, Mars is currently intensifying your emotions and turning your attention to the hidden or deep elements of your life. This is a necessary process that shouldn’t be rushed or undervalued, but it does seem to keep you working behind the scenes and not always entirely present in your social life. You’re frequently in the position to observe and strategize with your plans. In focus can be your money situation as it ties up with others – what you share, owe, and what you’re due.
You are more aware of the power dynamics of your relationships as Mars transits your solar eighth house, and you can be a little demanding or provocative as a result, making it an excellent time to take charge. Money matters can be subject to some dispute. Be willing to compromise and make a fresh start with others, but if you genuinely feel short-changed, now is the time to stand up for your needs and desires.
Whether the desire to make changes comes from conflict or stronger motivation to understand yourself, you’re willing to take charge of problem areas from the inside out. With this Mars transit, it's best to avoid stewing in resentment, which can impact you quite negatively. It may only be in mid-September that you feel freer to express yourself straightforwardly, but you’re doing important work in the meantime.
Also, with Mars in your solar eighth, there is a retiring quality to your personality. And, your ruler, Uranus, turning retrograde on the 19th reinforces the need for some introspection. Venus is in the same sector until the 16th, Mercury from the 11-30, and the Sun joins in on the 22nd. It's a time for stepping back from your goals just a little so that you can gain a new perspective and reorient yourself.
Until the 16th, your feelings are going through some regeneration. It can be a time to get the most out of others' talents and resources. Transits can intensify feelings of love and attachment. You may be taking things to heart more than you show.
From the 16th, Venus transits in harmony to your sign, moving your adventure sector and boosting your appeal and courage to enjoy new experiences. This transit stokes your love of learning and encourages exploring some of your more exotic tastes and interests.
Uranus begins its yearly five-month retrograde cycle on the 19th. During its longer-term transit of your solar fourth house, some up-in-the-air elements relate 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, it's easier to recognize your need for change, upgrades, and progress in your domestic world.
Emotions run unusually high with the Full Moon in your sign on the 22nd. This lunation serves to heighten emotions and may prompt an important epiphany in your life. Note that a Full Moon occurred in your sign last month, and this second one feels a little more urgent or decisive. It can be a wonderful time to come in touch with buried feelings. August can bring breakthroughs on an emotional level. Being honest with yourself helps open you up to opportunities to make improvements.
While a Full Moon happened in your sign in July as well, now you see things more clearly. Emotions mature and ripen, and making it easier to determine your next step. This lunation brings feelings to the surface and can lead to surprising epiphanies. There is some finality to what’s happening as if you’re now privy to the whole story.
At the same time, the Sun moves into your solar eighth house, and you can learn much from observation and reflection as August progresses.

Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) and Aquarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius:
August 2021 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 22nd:
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 23rd 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 15th:
Venus continues to move through your solar eighth house during this period. You are attracted to the deeper elements of relationships and social interactions now, rather than what you meet on the surface. Mysteries fascinate you and you could be looking for others' motives for doing and saying what they do. It's a good time to feel supported by others, whether it's financially or emotionally. It's also a strong cycle for discovering your own hidden talents as well as fascinating things about a partner.
From August 16th forward:
Venus graces your solar ninth house during this period. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don't seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people and places may particularly appeal now. You tend to be expansive and generous when it comes to love. A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn't consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life--who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until August 11th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar seventh house. You can be especially aware of your "audience" in your communications now, which tend to be diplomatic and respectful during this cycle. You may be encountering an especially chatty or communicative partner, or meeting youthful, talkative people.
At this time, you love to hear others' opinions and perspectives, and it's an excellent time to do so. Others can spur on your own thinking and decision making processes now, simply by offering another perspective. You are thinking a lot about others, a partner, and relating in general, and in some cases perhaps worrying over these things.
From August 11-29:
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.
From August 30th forward:
Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture.
You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to energize your solar eighth house. This is a less outwardly assertive or aggressive stage for you as you take the time to process recent events in your life and to develop strategies for going after what you want in the future. You are more observant than active during this cycle, and more strategic and deliberate when you do take action. There may be an increase in sexual appetite now. It's an excellent period for eliminating wasteful activities. Shared finances can come into focus, and you might feel an increased need to take charge of these matters. This could lead to disputes and disagreements if you are not careful or sensitive in your dealings with others.

Aquarius (Born January 31 to February 9) AND Aquarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Aquarius:
August 2021 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2021
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.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until the 24th:
Venus continues to move through your solar eighth house during this period. You are attracted to the deeper elements of relationships and social interactions now, rather than what you meet on the surface.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
From August 1-17:
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.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until August 14th:
Mars continues to move through your solar seventh house. During this period, strife is possible in your close personal relationships, as a significant other is now mirroring some of your own issues with assertiveness and anger. Attracting aggression in others during this cycle is a clue that there are unresolved issues within that need tending. You might actually seek some form of conflict, whether intentionally or not, in order to deal with these issues. There can be competitiveness in your life now. Any troublesome issues that have been dormant in a relationship are likely to surface, and can now be handled straightforwardly.
From August 15th:
Mars energizes your solar eighth house now. Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit. Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible. Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.

August 2021 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 12th:
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.

This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until August 7th:
Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector. Meaningful and harmonious relationships--both social and romantic--define you during this cycle, affecting your mind, body, and soul. Financial or social success may come to or through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery works to your advantage! Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It's not about you right now--it's about someone else close. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.
From August 7th forward:
Venus graces your solar eighth house now. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until August 6th:
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 6-23 forward:
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 23rd 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
Until August 30th:
Mars continues to move through your solar seventh house. During this period, strife is possible in your close personal relationships, as a significant other is now mirroring some of your own issues with assertiveness and anger. Attracting aggression in others during this cycle is a clue that there are unresolved issues within that need tending. You might actually seek some form of conflict, whether intentionally or not, in order to deal with these issues. There can be competitiveness in your life now. Any troublesome issues that have been dormant in a relationship are likely to surface, and can now be handled straightforwardly.
From August 30th forward:
Mars energizes your solar eighth house now. Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit. Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible. Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.
Overview Horoscope:
August 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius:
Relationships and negotiations often take center stage this month, dear Aquarius. You seek more absorbing activities. There can be much discussion and compromise going on in your life. It can be a time to attract or enhance a partnership or make a commitment.
Activity in your partnership sector this month can motivate you to put forward a solid effort to relate and interact in positive, rewarding ways. If you want to start fresh or change your relationship state or status, the period after the New Moon on the 8th is vital for setting your intentions. If you need a fresh start in a partnership, this lunation can provide it. It’s also strong for seeing yourself through someone's eyes, taking steps to improve your connections with others, and finding ways to bring more balance, harmony, and beauty into your life, in general.
You are likely to attract intelligent or interesting people into your experience. More importantly, your interactions with others hold tremendous potential for fresh ideas and thinking. You might discover a missing puzzle piece of information. Let others lead the talks now, and listen carefully. There may be new clarity or a turning point in a relationship for some of you in the first part of August.
While you’re friendly and pleasant this month, Mars is currently intensifying your emotions and turning your attention to the hidden or deep elements of your life. This is a necessary process that shouldn’t be rushed or undervalued, but it does seem to keep you working behind the scenes and not always entirely present in your social life. You’re frequently in the position to observe and strategize with your plans. In focus can be your money situation as it ties up with others – what you share, owe, and what you’re due.
You are more aware of the power dynamics of your relationships as Mars transits your solar eighth house, and you can be a little demanding or provocative as a result, making it an excellent time to take charge. Money matters can be subject to some dispute. Be willing to compromise and make a fresh start with others, but if you genuinely feel short-changed, now is the time to stand up for your needs and desires.
Whether the desire to make changes comes from conflict or stronger motivation to understand yourself, you’re willing to take charge of problem areas from the inside out. With this Mars transit, it's best to avoid stewing in resentment, which can impact you quite negatively. It may only be in mid-September that you feel freer to express yourself straightforwardly, but you’re doing important work in the meantime.
Also, with Mars in your solar eighth, there is a retiring quality to your personality. And, your ruler, Uranus, turning retrograde on the 19th reinforces the need for some introspection. Venus is in the same sector until the 16th, Mercury from the 11-30, and the Sun joins in on the 22nd. It's a time for stepping back from your goals just a little so that you can gain a new perspective and reorient yourself.
Until the 16th, your feelings are going through some regeneration. It can be a time to get the most out of others' talents and resources. Transits can intensify feelings of love and attachment. You may be taking things to heart more than you show.
From the 16th, Venus transits in harmony to your sign, moving your adventure sector and boosting your appeal and courage to enjoy new experiences. This transit stokes your love of learning and encourages exploring some of your more exotic tastes and interests.
Uranus begins its yearly five-month retrograde cycle on the 19th. During its longer-term transit of your solar fourth house, some up-in-the-air elements relate 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, it's easier to recognize your need for change, upgrades, and progress in your domestic world.
Emotions run unusually high with the Full Moon in your sign on the 22nd. This lunation serves to heighten emotions and may prompt an important epiphany in your life. Note that a Full Moon occurred in your sign last month, and this second one feels a little more urgent or decisive. It can be a wonderful time to come in touch with buried feelings. August can bring breakthroughs on an emotional level. Being honest with yourself helps open you up to opportunities to make improvements.
While a Full Moon happened in your sign in July as well, now you see things more clearly. Emotions mature and ripen, and making it easier to determine your next step. This lunation brings feelings to the surface and can lead to surprising epiphanies. There is some finality to what’s happening as if you’re now privy to the whole story.
At the same time, the Sun moves into your solar eighth house, and you can learn much from observation and reflection as August progresses.

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.
