August 2022 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

August 2022

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until August 22nd:

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eleventh house. During this cycle, you are planting seeds for the future, dreaming up plans that you might begin to develop two months down the road, if they still seem viable then. You are more aware of the benefits of networking, and you might find some great ideas through others now. You might be working in a team now.

You could be questioning some of the rules you have been living by and you could be ready to try something totally new. You are more attracted to that which is progressive or unconventional during this cycle.

From August 23rd forward:

The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.

It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.

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

Until August 11th: 

Venus continues to transit your solar tenth house. Relationships with authority figures, superiors, and with the public are in focus during this cycle. It's a strong period for diplomatic relations, although a negative expression of this position could be bending over backwards to please rather than positive, friendly relations. It's a time when being a team player reaps the most rewards, and you may be mixing business with pleasure now. This may be a time when you are especially enjoying your career or position and making the most of it.

From August 11th: 

Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until the 3rd:

Mercury continues to journey through your solar eleventh house. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas just now are especially progressive and unconventional, as you are questioning the rules you typically live by and entertaining some wild ideas.

Not all of these ideas are necessarily going to last or lead to new projects, but it's a time of dreaming up new possibilities and new possible solutions to problems. You are especially interested in spending time with people who are like-minded. Social interactions are more frequent, light, and fun during this cycle.

From the 4-25:

Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers.

This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities.

You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.

From the 26th forward:

With Mercury in your solar first house, you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now.

It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity.

This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures.

Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until the 19th:

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.

From the 20th forward:

Mars animates and energizes your solar ninth house. During this period, you are especially enthusiastic and more bold than usual. Some restlessness and hunger for adventure is experienced now. Essentially, you are looking to expand your activities, and you may find that you have a lot of energy for higher studies, travel, or simply new subjects. Negative potentials include being excessively opinionated or getting easily fired up over differences in points of view, or legal fights.

Overview Horoscope:

August 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Libra:

Friendship, community, and happiness goals are in focus in August, dear Libra. Socially, you're in a good position virtually all month. Interactions are favorable, and you can make good use of your diplomacy skills in your career and networking activities. Friendships are in focus, and learning endeavors tend to thrive. A friend or network can open a window of opportunity for you, so pay close attention and stay connected. However, you can also benefit from some quality downtime this month.

A healthy, happy level of competition can motivate you in the first week of August. You may feel like you're turning a page, especially with career, responsibilities, long-term goals, and life-path matters. You might uncover or attract a vital resource. It can be a good time for new technological endeavors. You have a natural desire to come out ahead, triumph, or accomplish something. With Venus at the top of your chart until the 11th, you're making it easy for others to respect you. Authority figures, including bosses and parents, see you in a good light. Someone could support, sponsor, or otherwise endorse you. Freeing yourself from self-limiting beliefs about what you can or cannot do is an important process.

From the 11th, your social life improves further. You express confidence in others and yourself, and you want to move forward, forgive, enjoy life, and pursue your dreams and goals.

While you have a lot of friendly and light-hearted energy with you this month, Mars continues to intensify your emotions until the 20th, and you're frequently turning your attention to the hidden or deep elements of your life. It's a vital process that shouldn't be rushed or undervalued, but it does seem to keep you working behind the scenes and not always very emotionally present in other areas of life. You might find the motivation to kick a bad habit or work towards reducing a dependency.

Watch that you don't push something too hard or become your own worst enemy around the 7th and 14th, when your desires seem to clash with your current plans. Competitive or frustrating elements in your relationships may also surface.

The Full Moon on the 11th can bring romantic revelations or drama with a friend. There can be emotional revelations about people in your life and your need for them, or about your place in a group, with friends, or even in the community. The need to more fully express your joy, love, or affection and creativity is in focus now, spurring you into action.

Mars moves into harmony with your sign on the 20th, stirring your need to break out of a rut or a routine. It's a good time for out-of-the-ordinary activities. It's wise to seek a better, more satisfying work-life balance with a little extra emphasis on the "life" part.

On the 22/23, the Sun moves into your privacy sector for a month-long trek. This yearly event precedes your personal power month and is a critical time to take a hard look at what attitudes, circumstances, and extra dead weight need to go before you begin anew. Your spiritual needs come into strong play.

Uranus begins its yearly retrograde cycle on the 24th, and it's a good cycle for exploring how you depend on others and devising strategies to alter dependencies in ways that benefit you and the people you love. If financial or support matters have been up in the air, disorganized, or unreliable, now's your chance to figure out why.

After the New Moon on the 27th, the need to better understand past events or communicate more effectively becomes pressing. It's best not to rush things, especially of an emotional nature. Try to tackle things one at a time rather than wear yourself out, and avoid overexertion or stretching yourself too thin. In truth, it's a time that prompts some much-needed downtime and introspection. New hope and beginnings now relate to your private life, mental health, and spiritual life.
