Overview for this Month: Sagittarius (All)
August 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Sagittarius:
August features themes centering on your longer-term vision, goals, and spirited activities, dear Sagittarius. Work matters can be in strong focus at times, and there can be some additional responsibilities to manage. Relationships are lively and dynamic.
After the New Moon on the 4th, you'll crave new projects or activities that expand your mind or give you a broader reach when sharing your ideas. You could feel renewed by a new perspective on your life or a new and improved vision of what you want to do in the future.
From the 5th to the 28th, Mercury is retrograde, and there can be some backtracking and delays to navigate. While offputting sometimes, they also prompt you to refine and improve your projects. Redoing work or returning to old material or conversations and problems can make you feel a little stuck in spots, but certain redirections can be helpful in the long run.
While Mercury is retrograde, some plans might slow down or encounter delays. Something you presented or communicated earlier might now seem premature. From the 5th to the 14th, career and reputation matters can be tricky, but they remain satisfying areas of focus as the month advances. You might revive or renew projects you've been working on behind the scenes or that you shelved in the past. It may be wise to stick to projects already in the works rather than take on brand-new endeavors. Some mix-ups are possible, but look for opportunities to make valuable refinements and changes. It can be worthwhile to observe trends and look to the past for answers on managing current responsibilities.
From the 14th to the 28th, it's best to double-check your calendar and schedules so that you don't miss important interviews or deadlines. On the 18th, there can be a sense that you need to wipe the slate clean in some manner, and it's a strong time for seeing old attitudes or projects in a new light and putting them behind you. New insights into recent decisions can help alter your perspective in significant ways and lead you to new projects or lines of thought. This is an excellent time for making resolutions to approach your life in more empowering, positive ways in the future.
Mars transits opposite your sign all month, and challenges can come from a close partner or friend. The feedback can be encouraging or frustrating, but it certainly grabs your attention. This may be a time when your interactions or relationship goals drive you to recognize your potential or desires and goals you never knew you had. Working through relationship bumps and bruises can be part of the picture. There can be times when you feel the ball isn't in your court. However, you're learning about the needs and concerns of important people in your life and how they can positively impact your life. You might pair up to accomplish something important to you. Honesty and warmth in your relationships can boost your connections.
With a Full Moon in your communications sector on the 19th, minor issues can loom large, and while there's often an element of exaggeration around lunations, the drama can bring up real matters to your attention and motivate you to find a solution or balance. After the dust settles, you'll be well-equipped to know your next step. The challenge is to prioritize, as distractions can be plenty, but recognizing those things that inspire you will be the answer. Consider that people are hearing you at this time, but with Mercury retrograde, they may not be fully listening or understanding!
Your ruler, Jupiter, forms a square with Saturn this month, highlighting a clash between your strong enjoyment of relating and your responsibilities to your home life or family. Family members or duties to the home can feel burdensome or restricting, particularly in comparison to your relationships and social life. The key now is to recognize limits and adjust accordingly.
The Sun's move to the top of your solar chart on the 22nd boosts your interest in setting goals and achieving them. Venus is a guest here from the 4th to the 29th, and you're noticeable and in the limelight. You are in higher demand, and there can be more attention to your performance and accomplishments now. This is a time to focus on your ambitions and take steps towards achieving them, fueling your motivation and determination.
Mercury ends its retrograde on the 28th and Venus enters your social sector the next day, and things look friendlier in the final days of the month.

Sagittarius (Born November 23 to December 2) AND Sagittarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Sagittarius:
August 2024 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2024
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 22nd:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar ninth house now. This is a cycle in which you seek to expand your experiences and awareness, whether through philosophical thinking, higher education, travel, or simply activities that take you away from your everyday routines. You may feel a little restless if you don't find ways to explore.
It's an excellent period for looking at your life from a different perspective--a broader one--whether you initiate this process or you make contact with others who stimulate you to think about your circumstances differently. Your energy is strong, open, and friendly right now, you come across well to others, and you are a little bolder and adventurous than usual.
From August 22nd forward:
The Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your "place" or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle.
You want to shine! Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until August 4th:
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 4th to 29th:
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.
From August 29th forward:
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
Mercury is retrograde from August 5th to 28th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with bosses or in your career in general, as well as communications with a close partner, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. An argument over joint finances can also get you into hot water. Hold back. Because Virgo and Gemini are on the angles of your chart, you may be especially sensitive to all of the common Mercury Retrograde issues.
Occurring in your solar ninth and tenth houses this time, extra care should be used when communicating with superiors and co-workers, and regarding travel or education plans. Delays are very possible. You may be re-thinking things regarding your life path, but it's best to think rather than act for now, as your judgment may be compromised. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers, professors, lawyers, and family members, or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to move through your solar seventh house. During this period, strife is possible in your close personal relationships, as a significant other is now mirroring some of your own issues with assertiveness and anger. Attracting aggression in others during this cycle is a clue that there are unresolved issues within that need tending. You might actually seek some form of conflict, whether intentionally or not, in order to deal with these issues. There can be competitiveness in your life now. Any troublesome issues that have been dormant in a relationship are likely to surface, and can now be handled straightforwardly.

Sagittarius (Born December 3 to 12) and Sagittarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Sagittarius:
August 2024 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2024
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
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, Pleasure
Until August 12th:
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.

It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with professors and lawyers as well; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 4th:
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.
From August 4th forward:
Mars energizes and animates your solar seventh house. Partnerships may suffer from ego conflicts, or opposition from others may be challenging. Use the extra energy that Mars brings to this sector of your chart to work cooperatively on relationship problems. You may even find that you seem to need someone's help in order to do what you want to do during this cycle. Relationships are vivacious and dynamic during this period. When a difference arises, you are quick to settle it, and have little patience for sweeping matters under the rug. Your close personal relationships are lively during this cycle--full of conflicts and resolutions or reconciliations.

Family members or duties to the home can feel burdensome or restricting, particularly in comparison to your relationships and social life. The key now is to recognize limits and adjust accordingly.
The Sun's move to the top of your solar chart on the 22nd boosts your interest in setting goals and achieving them. Venus is a guest here from the 4th to the 29th, and you're noticeable and in the limelight. You are in higher demand, and there can be more attention to your performance and accomplishments now. This is a time to focus on your ambitions and take steps towards achieving them, fueling your motivation and determination.
Mercury ends its retrograde on the 28th and Venus enters your social sector the next day, and things look friendlier in the final days of the month.

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 a previous month.
For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’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 reveal 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.
