Overview for this Month: Aries (All)
August 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aries:
You're paying extra attention to pleasure-seeking activities, romance, creative projects, or hobbies in the first few weeks of August, dear Aries. Whatever brings you joy can be in strong focus with Mercury and the Sun in your solar fifth house until the 11th and 22nd, respectively. It's a creative, interactive period for you when you more often connect with your inner child. You're motivated to pursue enjoyable and pleasurable activities and perhaps create something unique and expressive.
At the beginning of the month, there can be a clearing of the air, moment of epiphany, news, or overdue conversation related to any of these themes. It can be a time for gaining some clarity about creative projects, a relationship, course, or hobby. The New Moon on the 8th brings fresh energy for new starts along these lines, although it helps to take a few days after this lunation to intuit your next move. Feeling good from the inside out attracts favorable circumstances.
Your powers of attraction are mighty in August. Expressing your playfulness, creativity, or joy seems to boost your influence and confidence. You gravitate to the things you genuinely love doing, and they're where your more significant chances of success lie.
Later in August, the Sun and Mercury move into your work and health sector, but taking care of business is a prominent theme all month due to the transits of Venus and Mars. Until the 16th, Venus here encourages you to seek more harmony in your daily life or work, and the charm you display professionally is likely to be well-received. You could form beneficial connections, whether through the pursuit of your work and health goals or because of your more vital interest in these things. It's a fortunate time for personal enjoyment of projects, organizing, list-making, watching your nutrition, and the like.
Mars in your solar sixth house all month is magnificent for motivating you to take better care of your health, work, or routines. Watch for tensions regarding these matters, which are more likely to occur from impatience or rushing things, but let this transit drive you to get your life on track. You can be excited about becoming more efficient, skilled, or organized. You want to move forward or clear the decks for new beginnings related to work and income. Your enterprising nature is alive and well now. You may very well lay the groundwork for putting a health or money problem behind you.
Venus transits your partnership sector from the 16th forward, and you'll find it almost effortless to harmonize with others, especially a partner or companion. You're in good shape for enhancing and boosting a close relationship.
On the 19th, Uranus begins its yearly five-month retrograde cycle. Even with some worry related to finances or some moving around of funds, ultimately, you're moving towards a whole new way of living. As you rewrite what you value most, the respect you attract into your life evolves. You are discovering unique natural talents and learning to embrace and develop them and let go of old dependencies or crutches. The coming months will be useful for working on inner attitudes that need to change so that you can move forward more authentically. It's also a time for dreaming up inventive ways of making money or reviewing and refining current projects.
The Full Moon on the 22nd opens your heart to the need for true friendship. Unrecognized feelings can emerge now. This lunation can remind you of your need for others, whether it's about support or simply a sense of belonging. Reaching out at this time can be therapeutic, and networking efforts can be rewarding.
While there usually is only one Full Moon in a sign per year, this is the second one. Your social life is changing, and emotions surrounding love and friendship are strong. Last month, you experienced a similar theme, but your feelings were fresh, new, and raw. Now, you have fuller, more rounded-out epiphanies. It can be a time for a last or final word on a matter. This lunation brings further social excitement along with strong realizations about love and friendship.
The 22nd also brings the Sun into your solar sixth house and more punch to a work and health theme that's active all month. You'll be focusing on developing skills and improving your daily routines, and you're now taking more pride in these things. Your thoughts tend to revolve around practical matters, work, and self-care or self-improvement methods.

Aries (Born March 21 to 31)
AND Aries Ascendant from 0 to 10 degrees Aries:
August 2021 Aries 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 fifth house. This is a time when pleasure-seeking and creative activities come into focus and grab much of your attention. You are particularly personally charming in a spontaneous, natural way during this solar cycle. This is the time of year when you are ready to perform and to express yourself creatively.
This is a very playful cycle, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. It's a good time for recreation, romance, connecting with children, and enjoying and performing the arts. Your ego is tied up in your children, romantic relationships, and creative output now, so that you can be especially proud of these people and things. You can also be over-sensitive about these matters if you feel you are not getting enough appreciation.
From August 23rd forward:
The Sun illuminates your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It's a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now.
It's time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until August 15th:
Venus continues to move through your solar sixth house now. This is a time when beautifying and/or bringing harmony to your working environment is a priority to you. You might find more opportunities to socialize with co-workers, perhaps even meeting a new friend through your work or health routines. You are likely to bring more tact and diplomacy to your relations with the people you work with now. You may not be as productive as usual during this period, as the focus is more on social relationships and pleasure than on getting the job done. Improving health and vitality through pleasurable activities such as massage might be in focus now.
From August 16th forward:
Venus graces your solar seventh house during this period. This is a time for extra attention to a partner or significant other, as well as from that person! You are more inclined to flatter and charm others during this cycle. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. 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--very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until August 11th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar fifth house. Increased communication with children, romantic partners, and people who share the same hobbies as you can occur now. Certainly, you are thinking about these people and about love and romance, child rearing, and/or creative pursuits more than usual. Mental exercises and competitions can be particularly enjoyable now. You express yourself with warmth and creativity, and you have an appreciative "audience" for your ideas now.
From August 11-29:
Mercury transits your solar sixth house. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house. It's an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills.
Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now.
You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle.
From August 30th 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.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to animate and energize your solar sixth house. Energy and initiative for work, health, and other daily activities increase. You are self-motivated when it comes to these matters. If there are disagreements and disputes that erupt on the job now, they may be due to a feeling of stress or impatience, or they could come from your desire to get things done independently. It's best to apply energy productively to completing projects that are unfinished or even to get ahead of yourself. It's a strong period for feeling motivated for starting a new health or fitness routine.

Aries (Born April 1 to 10)
AND Aries Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Aries:
August 2021 Career, & General Trends
August 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun illuminates your solar fifth house now. After a period of "nesting", you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors!
You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year.
This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are--when your "inner child" comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life--not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until the 24th:
Venus continues to move through your solar sixth house now. This is a time when beautifying and/or bringing harmony to your working environment is a priority to you. You might find more opportunities to socialize with co-workers, perhaps even meeting a new friend through your work or health routines.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
From August 1-17:
Mercury transits your solar fifth house. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong.
Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You're more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.
From August 17th forward:
Mercury transits your solar sixth house. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until August 14th:
Mars continues to energize your solar fifth house. This brings increased energy and enthusiasm to romance, child-rearing, and creative or recreational endeavors. It can also bring some strife to these areas of your world in some cases. For the most part, however, a romance could pick up pace, you are self-motivated and inspired on creative and expressive levels, and your self-confidence is well-received by others during this cycle. You are more willing to take little risks and you are competitive in a mostly friendly way. In your enthusiasm to take the lead, try to be sensitive to and respectful of others' needs.
From August 15th:
Mars animates and energizes your solar sixth house. You have more energy for work and your daily routines tend to speed up during this transit. Perhaps you have a larger workload than usual. It's a great time to take charge of your health. You have much energy at your disposal to pick up (or step up) a health and physical activity program. It might be hard for you to work with others in a harmonious manner during this transit, and disputes with co-workers are possible. If you are feeling especially angry, frustrated, or restless, it would be wise to find little projects and things to do so that you can channel excess energy constructively. If health is affected, fevers or infections are more likely.

AND Aries Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Aries:
August 2021 Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 12th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fourth house. This is a period of recharge, of getting in touch with your innermost feelings, of connecting with your roots, and of spending more time and energy on home and family. Home and family matters capture your attention and are a strong source of pride now. It's a time when worldly matters are not as important to you.
Use this energy to find ways to improve your family relations and your home environment. During this heart-warming cycle, you would do best to allow yourself to explore your inner needs so that you can nurture yourself and others in a healthy, growth-oriented manner, in preparation for more outgoing times to come.
From August 12th forward:
The Sun illuminates your solar fifth house now. After a period of "nesting", you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now.

You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
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 August 6th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar fourth house. Your thoughts tend to revolve around personal matters, especially family, home, and domestic issues. You enjoy, more than usual, discussions and stories about the past and about family.
You are more rational and objective when it comes to your relationships with those close to you, so it is, in fact, a good time to open up discussions with family. There can be increased activities in and around the home during this cycle. You are not as interested in worldly matters and career as you are in your personal life for the time being.
From August 6-23 forward:
Mercury transits your solar fifth house. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong.
Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You're more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.
From August 23rd forward:
Mercury transits your solar sixth house. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house. It's an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job.

You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills.
Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now.
You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency.

Mars continues to energize your solar fifth house. This brings increased energy and enthusiasm to romance, child-rearing, and creative or recreational endeavors. It can also bring some strife to these areas of your world in some cases. For the most part, however, a romance could pick up pace, you are self-motivated and inspired on creative and expressive levels, and your self-confidence is well-received by others during this cycle. You are more willing to take little risks and you are competitive in a mostly friendly way. In your enthusiasm to take the lead, try to be sensitive to and respectful of others' needs.
From August 30th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar sixth house. You have more energy for work and your daily routines tend to speed up during this transit. Perhaps you have a larger workload than usual. It's a great time to take charge of your health. You have much energy at your disposal to pick up (or step up) a health and physical activity program. It might be hard for you to work with others in a harmonious manner during this transit, and disputes with co-workers are possible. If you are feeling especially angry, frustrated, or restless, it would be wise to find little projects and things to do so that you can channel excess energy constructively. If health is affected, fevers or infections are more likely.
Overview Horoscope:
August 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aries:
You're paying extra attention to pleasure-seeking activities, romance, creative projects, or hobbies in the first few weeks of August, dear Aries. Whatever brings you joy can be in strong focus with Mercury and the Sun in your solar fifth house until the 11th and 22nd, respectively. It's a creative, interactive period for you when you more often connect with your inner child. You're motivated to pursue enjoyable and pleasurable activities and perhaps create something unique and expressive.
At the beginning of the month, there can be a clearing of the air, moment of epiphany, news, or overdue conversation related to any of these themes. It can be a time for gaining some clarity about creative projects, a relationship, course, or hobby. The New Moon on the 8th brings fresh energy for new starts along these lines, although it helps to take a few days after this lunation to intuit your next move. Feeling good from the inside out attracts favorable circumstances.
Your powers of attraction are mighty in August. Expressing your playfulness, creativity, or joy seems to boost your influence and confidence. You gravitate to the things you genuinely love doing, and they're where your more significant chances of success lie.
Later in August, the Sun and Mercury move into your work and health sector, but taking care of business is a prominent theme all month due to the transits of Venus and Mars. Until the 16th, Venus here encourages you to seek more harmony in your daily life or work, and the charm you display professionally is likely to be well-received. You could form beneficial connections, whether through the pursuit of your work and health goals or because of your more vital interest in these things. It's a fortunate time for personal enjoyment of projects, organizing, list-making, watching your nutrition, and the like.
Mars in your solar sixth house all month is magnificent for motivating you to take better care of your health, work, or routines. Watch for tensions regarding these matters, which are more likely to occur from impatience or rushing things, but let this transit drive you to get your life on track. You can be excited about becoming more efficient, skilled, or organized. You want to move forward or clear the decks for new beginnings related to work and income. Your enterprising nature is alive and well now. You may very well lay the groundwork for putting a health or money problem behind you.
Venus transits your partnership sector from the 16th forward, and you'll find it almost effortless to harmonize with others, especially a partner or companion. You're in good shape for enhancing and boosting a close relationship.
On the 19th, Uranus begins its yearly five-month retrograde cycle. Even with some worry related to finances or some moving around of funds, ultimately, you're moving towards a whole new way of living. As you rewrite what you value most, the respect you attract into your life evolves. You are discovering unique natural talents and learning to embrace and develop them and let go of old dependencies or crutches. The coming months will be useful for working on inner attitudes that need to change so that you can move forward more authentically. It's also a time for dreaming up inventive ways of making money or reviewing and refining current projects.
The Full Moon on the 22nd opens your heart to the need for true friendship. Unrecognized feelings can emerge now. This lunation can remind you of your need for others, whether it's about support or simply a sense of belonging. Reaching out at this time can be therapeutic, and networking efforts can be rewarding.
While there usually is only one Full Moon in a sign per year, this is the second one. Your social life is changing, and emotions surrounding love and friendship are strong. Last month, you experienced a similar theme, but your feelings were fresh, new, and raw. Now, you have fuller, more rounded-out epiphanies. It can be a time for a last or final word on a matter. This lunation brings further social excitement along with strong realizations about love and friendship.
The 22nd also brings the Sun into your solar sixth house and more punch to a work and health theme that's active all month. You'll be focusing on developing skills and improving your daily routines, and you're now taking more pride in these things. Your thoughts tend to revolve around practical matters, work, and self-care or self-improvement methods.

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 fifth 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.
