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

August 2021

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until August 12th:

The Sun continues to highlight your solar eighth house. Your attention turns inward, as well as to close personal relationships on a deeper level. Personal transformations, personal power, and intimate matters fulfill you most during this cycle. There may be a strong focus on other's money, such as the resources of a partner, inheritance, banking and loans, or taxes.

You are more intense in your mood and disposition, and perhaps even secretive, at this time of year. You are more in touch with the deeper and even primal elements of your own personality, and more able to see these things in others. This can be a determined and personally powerful time of year if you apply the energy of this transit constructively.

From August 12th forward:

This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now.

A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don't have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with managing everyday affairs and important details.

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

Until August 7th: 

Venus continues to grace your solar ninth house. During this cycle, your ideals in love are set high. You might become inspired by a loved one now, or someone might awaken a new perspective or way of thinking in you. You could also enjoy a trip, or a new adventure of sorts. In fact, you are attracted to anything that is non-routine and fare best when you are reaching out beyond your usual bounds. You might be attracted to people or even objects that are exotic or different in some way during this cycle. It's a good period for personal charm and attractiveness in general.

From August 7th forward: 

Venus graces your solar tenth house now. During this cycle, you are most charming and well-received on the job. Your responsibility and authority are likeable qualities now, making this a favorable period overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well as for negotiations or social activities related to business. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. You are socially ambitious right now, and success may come through your good managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly through your marriage partner. People who turn your head during this cycle are those who come across as especially competent.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until August 6th: 

Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house. The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you. This is also a good time for sorting out finances, particularly money shared or coming from other sources other than your own personal income.

You might particularly enjoy discussing topics that you typically don't verbalize with someone special during this cycle. Anything taboo, mysterious, or puzzling can be especially fascinating for you just now. You have little interest in small talk. You are more aware of subtleties and nuances during this cycle, and you can use this increased insightfulness to improve your life.

From August 6-23 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.

From August 23rd forward: 

Mercury transits your solar tenth house. You are likely thinking a lot about your career and business matters, or your career requires more communication than usual during this cycle. You speak with authority during this period, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now.

Use the power of words to influence authority figures. This is an excellent period for developing career and professional plans or strategies. You may be turned to for advice or for your opinion on important matters. Although approachable and ready to communicate, you are less inclined to chat about frivolous matters now.

You tend to think about your position or standing on a professional level more frequently during this cycle. You are likely doing some multi-tasking regarding career and business matters. Negative use of this influence would be to worry unnecessarily about your reputation and responsibilities.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until August 30th:

Mars continues to animate and energize your solar ninth house. Your energy levels and sense of timing are good during this cycle. You are strong and bold in your beliefs and convictions as well, and others tend to naturally follow your lead. You actively seek out new learning experiences and have a strong desire to set out on new adventures, however big or small. Others find you easy to be around, even inspiring and energizing, and are attracted to your assertiveness and courage.

From August 30th forward:

Mars animates and energizes your solar tenth house. This transit stimulates your ambition and/or your desire to be recognized for your accomplishments. Whether it's professional or personal, you are likely to have an increased desire for others to notice you. This can be a good time to become self-employed or start a business if other factors (and Mars itself) are favorable. Conflicts with those in authority are possible now. You may pour more energy into self-promotion or business/career activities.

Overview Horoscope:

August 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Sagittarius:

Vision, enthusiasm for discovery, and new experiences are active themes in August, dear Sagittarius. Still, responsibilities, career, and reputation matters are also on the front burner this month. You can arrive at very creative ideas for goals or for reaching your objectives. You might enjoy taking on a new interest or exploring different perspectives or beliefs.

Feed your mind, enjoy new experiences, and brush up on skills for best results. Your flavor for adventure runs high, but career matters and responsibilities or ambitions also grab your attention. As a result, August can feel quite fulfilling and balanced.

Gaining perspective on a belief or special-interest topics and drawing meaningful conclusions at the beginning of August can be satisfying. You might make a significant discovery or connection. Conversations, news, and thoughts occur that help you clear up misconceptions and make more definite plans.

The New Moon on the 8th reinforces and energizes your need to branch out, make a mark on the world, and communicate. In the week following, it can be a time for publishing your work, completing a project or study, or making an announcement. The thing to watch at this time, however, is prematurity. Avoid pushing something too quickly. You're in an excellent position for studies, learning in general, and exploring new interests and options, but you're best off arriving at this state naturally. You express your feelings with ease now.

This can be an excellent month for getting the kind of feedback you need to make meaningful changes, particularly about your career. It's possible that you wrestle with fears of advancement, but the process can be very revealing.

The first few weeks of August are primarily outgoing and forward-focused. You want to move out of your comfort zone when it comes to learning, thinking, and doing. While there is a strong theme of spirit, learning, and exploration, you have Venus at the top of your solar chart until the 16th, Mars there all month, Mercury from the 11-30, and the Sun in this career- and image-oriented sector from the 22nd. As such, career, public life, responsibilities, obligations, long-term goals, and direction are all solid themes.

With Venus here until mid-month, you are pulling in desirable attention, and you may receive some nice offers or recognition. It's a time for catching some breaks. If your reputation could use a boost, this is a good time for connecting.

People may recognize you as a leader or a pioneer this month. More importantly, you are confident in this role or excited and enthusiastic about your goals, ready to take on a challenge. You have your eye on improvement, upgrades, and progress. If you can work at your own pace, it may be easier to follow your intuition and great hunches.

From the 16th, you have Venus moving in harmony with your sign and gracing the social sector of your solar chart. This transit encourages harmony, balance, and general benefits to your social life. It helps balance things out!

Uranus begins its yearly five-month retrograde cycle on the 19th, helping you slow down and examine or even reconsider recent changes, particularly related to your daily routines, work, and health. These areas of life may have been up and down, and looking inward for answers makes sense now. You're seeking more authenticity in the work you do or the services you provide.

The Full Moon on the 22nd opens your eyes to the need to express yourself more fully, and this can color many of your actions in the last part of August. It can also bring your attention to a communications project or errands that need immediate handling. It's a generally busy time, but do find some space for relaxation.

There could be a turning point in a relationship with a sibling or classmate, your studies, or a special-interest project. While there has been special attention to the body side of the mind/body balance, this month encourages you to factor in the health of your mind and spirit.

The 22nd also brings the Sun to the top of your solar chart, pointing to an achievement or a desire to perform. It can be a more ambitious period of the year when you're more goal-oriented. While this has been the case on some level all month, you're even more onboard now.
