August 2020 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

August 2020

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until August 11th:

The Sun continues to transit your solar second house. This is the most "financial" period of the year for you. You might have a more materialistic view of life for the time being, or you have an increased interest in your own possessions, during this cycle. You are more attracted to objects and possessions that give you a sense of comfort, status, or luxury now.

You probably should be on the lookout for a tendency to create your own financial stress due to extravagant spending habits. At this point in the year, you are unlikely to take many risks, however, and you can be quite resistant to change. This is a time when "comfort zones" are more important to you than usual--you value the familiar.

From August 12th forward:

The Sun is illuminating your communications sector now, suggesting "busy-ness" and movement. You are exploring and searching, making connections, and paying more attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is in emphasis during this period, and is, for the most part, light-hearted.

Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in understanding and adapting to your immediate environment. Siblings, neighbors, close relatives, friends, and co-workers may play a more important role than usual in your life during this cycle.

You are more interested in exploring your own neighborhood than you are of something entirely new. This is not a time of big adventure-seeking! Rather, it's a time of little adventures close to home.

Neither is this a time when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now. You are especially resourceful, and you could find yourself enjoying (or seeking) attention for your intellectual know-how. The ability to express and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time. You are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until August 27th: 

Venus continues to grace your solar first house now. Something about how you present yourself, your image, and your manner boosts your personal magnetism during this cycle. It's a good time to attract who and what you want into your life experience. You're more charming and you are likely to want to attract things to you indirectly rather than forcefully now, perhaps through charm and playfulness. You have a stronger need to be good to yourself, although a negative expression of this placement can be excessive attention to pampering oneself or taking the easy way out. You especially enjoy making a good impression on others, and peace-making. You might also be paying more attention to beauty and style now.

From the 28th forward: 

Venus transits your solar second house and, as the natural ruler of the second house, Venus feels right "at home" here. This is a rather content position for Venus, although there can be some restlessness when it comes to money and spending it—you are more inclined to want more things around you! Financial security and enjoyment of the good things in life are important to you, although you also value simple pleasures. The ability to relate well with others might enhance your own personal finances during this period. You may find yourself in a position in which there is a blending of financial matters with social or public affairs. This is a stable position for love matters and close relationships. You value those who make you feel comfortable, and familiarity is more important to you than someone new during this cycle.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until the 14th:

Mercury continues to transit your solar second house. You might play with various ways to increase personal funds, resulting in more than one avenue for monetary gain. Avoid letting undue pressure from others push you into signing important papers that may create a serious financial commitment. Shopping when experiencing nervous tension should also be avoided. Your mind is always active with new ideas for an increase of income during this cycle. Brothers or sisters, or communications, may be a source of financial or material gain or loss now.

From the 15-30:

Mercury is right at home in the third house and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words, and the ability to multi-task successfully. More time spent on the phone, writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to fuss over insignificant matters now, however.

Also, "information overload" is also a possibility. This may be a busy time with neighbors, classmates, siblings, and community affairs. Your interests are especially varied now and perhaps scattered. It's an ideal time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it, as your tendency is toward a certain level of intellectual detachment just now. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when circumstances call for you to stick to the routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project.

Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, and the like. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress.

From the 30th forward:

Mercury moves through your solar fourth house. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it's a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now.

Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until the 4th:

Mars continues to energize your solar tenth house now. You bring much energy, enthusiasm, and drive to your career or to directing activities in your life during this cycle. You may be quite competitive during this period, preferring to achieve and accomplish things on your own. This attitude can, in some cases, be seen by others as an instigating or otherwise offensive energy, so be aware of that possibility.

This is a strong time for directly pursuing your goals, and, if you need that extra push or oomph to get a plan going, particularly a professional one, or to assert your desires, then this is the time. You are self-motivated, and your enthusiasm can be harnessed if you so choose.

From the 5th forward:

Mars is energizing your solar eleventh house now. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others' toes.

As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).

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 Gemini:

The month ahead is particularly strong for your communications and outlook, dear Gemini. Reaching out and connecting can bring unexpected opportunities to you. Learning and projects or personal interests are in good favor. Motivation returns or builds in August. You are bright and alert, ready to embrace change. You're in a primarily positive, action-oriented frame of mind, and you can be feeling refreshed and a little braver or more interested in seeing results. You may be jump-starting friendships. Increased clarity comes from a willingness to learn from others and encourage them to express themselves. Intellectual matters can thrive.

You're talkative, expressive, interested, and interactive. You express yourself more flowingly, and you're more inclined to reach out to others. There can be plenty of information-gathering and a feeling of being on top of your daily affairs.

The Full Moon on the 3rd encourages you to expand your interests and experiences. An idea or interest you've been working on can take flight. There can be wonderfully passionate moments and feelings in love and friendship, but perhaps some tension if you try to push a matter too quickly. Decisions involving or made with friends can be too hasty. If dissatisfaction leads to new developments and improvements, or the courage to resolve a problem, then ride on this energy.

Life is taking a creative, more forward-looking energy this month, although as August advances, you crave more downtime and comfort. The first sign of this energy happens when Venus leaves your sign on the 7th after an extended stay. With this transit that lasts until September 6th, you're in a better position to enjoy yourself without self-consciousness. The focus is on building your resources now. Love is more about security and comfort, and affections stabilize as you value simpler pleasures. Getting along well with others can be one way to boost your business or income, and relationships already in place can benefit from steadier energy.

Another shift is the retrograde turn of Uranus in your privacy sector. This Uranus transit is a long-term one that helps you break free from elements of your life that have prevented growth. The more you let go of the weight of secrets and inauthentic behavior, the freer you are to be yourself. In the upcoming five months, while Uranus is retrograde, you tend to process recent events and changes and deal with your feelings about putting things behind you.

The New Moon on the 18th motivates you to make valuable, happy connections and contacts, improve your skills, and come up with new ideas. You might begin a new course, writing project, or make a new friend.

August can be when you arrive at a comfortable place of intimacy with a friend or see a relationship in a new light. Mercury and the Sun enter your home sector on the 19th and 22nd, respectively. More frequent discussions and thoughts about family, domestic life, your support system, roots, and the past can begin to figure strongly. Activity increases in your home, and this can include work or learning and study.

Your communications or thoughts hold increased power and passion in later August. While the focus was on variety and diversity in the first part of the month, you're getting to the bottom of a matter, poking, prodding, investigating, and analyzing later. Of course, the outside world will need your attention, but your interests seem to lie in getting comfortable and secure. Soothe yourself with the familiar and aim to shore yourself up. The needs of family and the home environment may not necessarily increase, but you’ll tune into them more strongly. It can be a time for bringing healing, refinement, and organization to your home life and family relationships.
