Pisces Monthly Horoscope August 2024 (2024)

Overview for this Month: Pisces (All)

August 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Pisces:

August is often a work- or health-centric month, dear Pisces, but you're also paying special attention to relationships and finding a better balance. You spend more energy getting your daily life in order, and August can be a time of significant advances or developments in maintaining your routine or health. There can be snafus and mix-ups in these areas, with Mercury's retrograde sometimes delaying or confusing issues and requiring you to put more effort into daily routines. However, it's also a fine time to rethink goals and refine methods that work to your advantage.

The New Moon on the 4th paves the way for exciting new beginnings in your health and wellness journey, or in your professional life and daily tasks. This celestial event sets the stage for a fresh start in your routines, daily affairs, wellness pursuits, and work life, filling you with a sense of freshness and optimism.

Mercury's retrograde from the 5th to 28th may bring about delays or information hiccups. However, this period is not about getting stuck in the past, but about the power of review and refinement. It's a time to breathe new life into old projects or find ways to break free from a rut, empowering you to take control of your work and life. It's a good time to perfect, refine, and edit. Indeed, there may be a need to review, redo, or double-check your work.

This retrograde begins in your partnership sector (from the 5th to the 14th), suggesting some slowdowns or delays, likely related to a significant person in your life. It's not the time to push something big–instead, look at the details and get the smaller, essential jobs out of the way.

Retrograde Mercury returns to your health and work sector on the 14th, alerting you to projects or programs that require a second look. Even if some communication channels seem less effective during the retrograde cycle, the situation can motivate you to find new and creative ways to get your message across.

New information or insight surfaces that can open doors for you with work or wellness matters on the 18th. You're beginning to see old routines, work projects, and ventures in a new light. While it's not yet the time for new launches (you might wait until after Mercury ends its retrograde on the 28th), it can be a turning point regarding thinking on these matters, putting you on the path toward increased clarity.

You might spend more money and time in August on the home. More energy and activity are likely in your domestic world, whether it's about home improvements, increased activities with family, purchases for the home, or working from home. Money-making ideas may be golden, and resourcefulness is a strong theme. Enthusiasm runs high for improving your personal life, money situation, or sense of security.

This is also a period for attracting helpful people into your life. Pairing or partnering up can be in focus and quite successful. Negotiations and agreements can be very favorable, especially while Venus moves through your partnership sector from the 4th to the 29th and from the 22nd forward when the Sun visits this same house of your solar chart.

Focusing on connecting well with others can give your life a real boost in August. Others are putting their faith in you, and this, in turn, motivates you to step up your game even further! Love is gracious, and people see you in a very positive light.

With the Full Moon on the 19th falling in your sector of endings, your inner world can be animated. If you've neglected your need to care for yourself mentally and emotionally, circ*mstances might force the issue now. This may signal a need to slow down, at least a little, so you can reorient yourself. You might also need to bring closure to a neglected or unresolved issue.

A Jupiter-Saturn square also surfaces around this time, pitting your desire to expand or grow with family or home life against personal responsibilities or feelings of limitation or reserve. Conversely, personal responsibilities can interfere with enjoyment in your home life. Try to look within rather than to others for happiness--it's a much better strategy! Limits disappear or rebound off you as your perspective changes.

Especially from the 22nd onward, the focus is on nurturing and enhancing your close relationships. It's a time for fairness, companionship, and shared responsibility in partnerships. The emphasis on compromise and cooperation reassures you that finding a better balance is not only possible but can foster a sense of harmony. Compromising and cooperating can be in focus.

August 2024 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

August 2024

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until August 22nd:

The Sun continues to spotlight your solar sixth house. This is a busy period that finds you tending to many different details of your daily existence--your work, various projects, organization around the home and office, your daily routines, and health matters. Your ego may be especially tied up in the work you do, so that you are proud and more creative than usual in your job. You may be in the position to take charge in your work, or to take charge of your health and diet. Sometimes this cycle relates to increased activities involving pets. You seek to perfect your skills or methods now, and you focus on the parts that make up the whole now in order to improve your daily life. As a result, you can be more critical than usual, but this process is necessary for you to sort out what works for you and what doesn't.

From August 22nd forward:

The Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me".

You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It's important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circ*mstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.

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

Until August 4th:

Venus continues to move through your solar sixth house now. This is a time when beautifying and/or bringing harmony to your working environment is a priority to you. You might find more opportunities to socialize with co-workers, perhaps even meeting a new friend through your work or health routines. You are likely to bring more tact and diplomacy to your relations with the people you work with now. You may not be as productive as usual during this period, as the focus is more on social relationships and pleasure than on getting the job done. Improving health and vitality through pleasurable activities such as massage might be in focus now.

From August 4th to 29th:

Venus graces your solar seventh house during this period. This is a time for extra attention to a partner or significant other, as well as from that person! You are more inclined to flatter and charm others during this cycle. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections--very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.

From August 29th forward:

Venus graces your solar eighth house now. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.

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 a partner or about partnerships, as well as communications with or about family and home, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It will be important to avoid signing any contracts or making important partnership or family/home decisions during this cycle.

Occurring in your solar sixth and seventh houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to negotiations, work, and one-on-one communications. Be as non- judgmental as you can with a partner and with co-workers. There may be the need to revisit old issues in a partnership, or there could be some communication problems with a partner. An ex-partner may resurface during this cycle. Misunderstandings with your partner now can do serious damage if you (or your partner) focus on words said instead of meanings behind the words. If you need to talk through problems, do your best to be as non-judgmental as possible, and don't over-react to what your partner has to say either. Mixed messages coming from a partner, or a disappointment, could occur now. You may not be as good at mediating disputes for the time being, but it's a good cycle in which to improve your negotiation skills. Re-thinking a partnership or a job is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with partners, co-workers, and superiors, 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 activate your solar fourth house. More energy and enthusiasm is brought to your home life, but there can also be a tendency to stir up trouble if you are not careful to channel any excess energy into constructive and productive pursuits around the home. You desire to take the lead, but you should do so in a respectful way so as not to get anyone's goat.

Pisces (Born March 2 to March 11) and Pisces Ascendant 10 to 20 degrees Pisces:

August 2024 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

August 2024

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

All month:

The Sun illuminates your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It's a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now.

It's time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.

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

Until August 12th:

Venus continues to move through your solar sixth house now. This is a time when beautifying and/or bringing harmony to your working environment is a priority to you. You might find more opportunities to socialize with co-workers, perhaps even meeting a new friend through your work or health routines. You are likely to bring more tact and diplomacy to your relations with the people you work with now. You may not be as productive as usual during this period, as the focus is more on social relationships and pleasure than on getting the job done. Improving health and vitality through pleasurable activities such as massage might be in focus now.

You are more inclined to flatter and charm others during this cycle. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections.

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with a partner or about partnerships, as well as communications with or about family and home, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It will be important to avoid signing any contracts or making important partnership or family/home decisions during this cycle.

Occurring in your solar sixth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to work, health matters, and daily routines. Be as non-judgmental as you can with co-workers and/or employees. Re-thinking the suitability of your job is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. Work-related mess-ups can frustrate you, or you might need to redo work that you thought was complete. However, you might find that the refinements you make now will be very valuable later. Double- check your work before submitting it. It's a fine time for researching health and nutrition programs, as well as job skills and opportunities, but perhaps not the best time for beginning all-new programs. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers and health professionals; 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 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 4th 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.

August 2024 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

August 2024

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until August 11th:

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fifth house. This is a time when pleasure-seeking and creative activities come into focus and grab much of your attention. You are particularly personally charming in a spontaneous, natural way during this solar cycle. This is the time of year when you are ready to perform and to express yourself creatively.

This is a very playful cycle, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. It's a good time for recreation, romance, connecting with children, and enjoying and performing the arts. Your ego is tied up in your children, romantic relationships, and creative output now, so that you can be especially proud of these people and things. You can also be over-sensitive about these matters if you feel you are not getting enough appreciation.

From August 12th forward:

This is also a period for attracting helpful people into your life. Pairing or partnering up can be in focus and quite successful. Negotiations and agreements can be very favorable, especially while Venus moves through your partnership sector from the 4th to the 29th and from the 22nd forward when the Sun visits this same house of your solar chart.

Focusing on connecting well with others can give your life a real boost in August. Others are putting their faith in you, and this, in turn, motivates you to step up your game even further! Love is gracious, and people see you in a very positive light.

With the Full Moon on the 19th falling in your sector of endings, your inner world can be animated. If you've neglected your need to care for yourself mentally and emotionally, circ*mstances might force the issue now. This may signal a need to slow down, at least a little, so you can reorient yourself. You might also need to bring closure to a neglected or unresolved issue.

A Jupiter-Saturn square also surfaces around this time, pitting your desire to expand or grow with family or home life against personal responsibilities or feelings of limitation or reserve. Conversely, personal responsibilities can interfere with enjoyment in your home life. Try to look within rather than to others for happiness--it's a much better strategy! Limits disappear or rebound off you as your perspective changes.

Especially from the 22nd onward, the focus is on nurturing and enhancing your close relationships. It's a time for fairness, companionship, and shared responsibility in partnerships. The emphasis on compromise and cooperation reassures you that finding a better balance is not only possible but can foster a sense of harmony. Compromising and cooperating can be in focus.

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.
