August 2021 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

August 2021

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until August 12th:

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 7th: 

Venus continues to play in your solar third house during this period, indicating a more light-hearted, curious, and intellectual approach to love and pleasure, as well as a more easygoing communicative style.

During this cycle, you are especially charming in your communications. Your words are soothing, and you tend to use words to smooth over problems that you see around you. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual.

Essentially, you are quite companionable during this cycle. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you see value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. Good companionship is as equally important as romance to you during this cycle.

You prefer an intellectual, communicative, and witty partner just now, and your powers of attraction increase through expressing these types of qualities. You are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport, and you are especially good at mediating conflicts now. If you were to begin a romance or friendship during this cycle, it would likely be quite light-hearted.

From August 7th forward: 

Venus warms your solar fourth house now. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic.

You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere.

In relationships, loyalty and sensitivity are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence--a time when simple pleasures most appeal.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until August 6th: 

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 August 6-23 forward: 

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 August 23rd 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 August 30th: 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).

From August 30th forward:

Mars activates and energizes your solar fourth house. You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities. Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective. You may work hard at making yourself feel more secure, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front. You may have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, redecorating, or family activities. In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things! You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related--you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. You may get worked up about old angers or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now.

Overview Horoscope:

August 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Gemini:

August can be busy as your curiosity is big, dear Gemini. There can be increased errands, paperwork, learning, social contact, or short trips, keeping you on your toes. A burst of energy and confidence on a mental or communicative level occurs after the New Moon on the 8th. You could find the motivation to get going on a learning or communications project, to make new connections, or to get a handle on your daily affairs.

In the first few weeks, it's a better time for diversifying than concentrated focus. The pace of your daily life has picked up--it's a month of much curiosity and special interests, as well as learning and busywork. As it advances, though, a theme of family and home life comes into stronger focus.

It can be an excellent time for engaging in helpful conversations and solving problems. There can be a significant discovery, clearing the air, epiphany, or communication. It's a mentally busy time, even with several hints that life is becoming a little quieter and more comfortable.

August is good for creative attention to your domestic world and boosting relationships with loved ones. You're likely to discover new ways to enjoy home life or time spent nesting. If reorganizing or redecorating can help you get comfortable, it's an excellent time to make changes.

In fact, there's a lot of energy centering around the home or with family all month. Aim to channel it constructively instead of allowing it to turn into restlessness or conflict. Family matters continue to grab your strong attention as the month advances. By the 22nd, you're investing your ego into domestic and personal issues and quite ready to take action, perhaps spending more time at home or with loved ones than usual.

While you have incredible energy and motivation to work on and around the home, it can be relatively easy to trigger frustrations and buried anger about the past. You may wish to clear the air, or surprises are in store with your feelings and affections. You might actively seek to put a problem behind you. It can be a good time for breaking through an emotional barrier or for resolving a home-related problem.

A Venus transit continues to awaken a self-protective or cautious part of you until the 16th, particularly when it comes to your affections, spending habits, and pleasures. Familiarity and security are themes, and these extend throughout August, not only due to the Mars transit discussed above, but also with Mercury and the Sun getting on board from the 11th and 22nd, respectively. It's a strong period for plumping your nest or your base of operations – you're especially interested in making your place of retreat as comfortable and harmonious as possible. For best results, aim to boost your sense of security and your self-confidence.

Venus then spends the rest of the month in your romance and creativity sector. This transit is vital for your powers of attraction--you're desired now! People want to soak up your energy.

Uranus has been transiting the sign behind yours, helping free you from elements of your life that have prevented growth. You're learning that the more you let go of the weight of secrets and inauthentic behavior, the freer you are to be yourself. While Uranus is retrograde from the 19th forward, you tend to process recent events and changes and deal with your feelings about putting things behind you. This retrograde lasts until January. It's a powerful time for unusual dreams and strong hunches or coincidences.

The Full Moon on the 22nd occurs in your adventure and learning sector, an area of your solar chart that's already hosting Jupiter. This awakens a need to follow your interests, pursue a new way of thinking or special interest, expand your knowledge, share your ideas with others, and break the routine in refreshing ways. Similar energy was with you in July, but now you feel more in the know as you gain a fuller picture.

Even though your domestic world and personal life are themes all month, the Sun's move into your home and family sector on the 22nd boosts it further. Your need for a home base, time to replenish and center yourself, and some familiarity or routine moves to the front burner. The last nine days of the month can be significant for personal breakthroughs but also very helpful for getting downtime.
