Aug 6 August 2022: Monthly Horoscope: Pisces

Ready to bring some order back to your life, Pisces? It’s cleanup time, AKA Leo season, until August 22. While others are getting fierce and flamboyant, you’re already over the summer party scene, ready to get back to the gym and eat clean after a hedonistic July. It’s a scheduling issue: Your month of decadence happens during Cancer season. Leo rules your sixth house of fitness, organization and common sense, making you the obvious choice for “designated driver” if you’re out with friends. Consider yourself notified!

In addition to being super-busy with all your tasks, you’ve got something important to say right now. On August 1, headstrong Mars, radical Uranus and the karmic north node will make a super-rare summit in Taurus and your third house of communication. One of your cutting-edge ideas could gain a lot of traction, perhaps even out of the blue. You could be invited to partner up with someone who “thinks different” or you may get an offer to write, speak or teach. Pisces with a powerful message could have an unexpected chance to share it!

Just put a little thought into the impact of your words now, as you could be argumentative and confrontational (you may not realize you’re coming across like that, so check in). While being provocative is okay to a point, during this ultra-sensitive transit, you want to make sure you’re sharing an inclusive and empowering message. No need to alienate anyone intentionally, Pisces. Lift people up instead of dragging them down to the ocean floor.

Looking for a new place to call home? On August 20, action planet Mars will begin an extended trek through Gemini and your domestic fourth house, staying until March 25, 2023. Home and family become a heat zone, and there could be big changes in this part of your life. Mars can increase the friction under your roof. Are you considering a move, buying property or expanding your family? Motivator Mars will speed up the process.

But don’t rush into anything if you’re not 100 percent on it. This seven-month cycle (which is five times the usual length of Mars’ visit to a sign) will contain a retrograde period later in the fall. Start exploring options—and yes, pursuing them—but know that it might take until early next year for everything to fully unfold.

When Virgo season arrives on August 22, it will be easier to get your personal life back in balance. Virgo rules your seventh house of partnerships and contracts. Team up with a kindred spirit whose skills complement yours or consider joining forces for a win-win. In love, you might be ready to make things official in the coming four weeks. Single Pisces could meet someone with serious long-term potential.

To the top! Others may be sunning at the beach, but while Leo season is heating up your ambitious tenth house through August 22, you’re on a mission to crush your goals. Even if you’re poolside, you’re likely to have your devices out, fielding calls and making moves.

While it CAN be lonely up there, it’s not likely to be for you, Scorpio. Prepare your perch for a powerful partnership that could rush in right away, thanks to the rare convergence of unstoppable Mars, changemaker Uranus and the purposeful north node this August 1. As this trio communes in Taurus and your seventh house of one-on-one commitments, you could find yourself suddenly joining forces and making it official!

On August 20, action planet Mars will begin an extended trek through Gemini and your intimate eighth house, staying until March 25, 2023. This seven-month cycle is five times the usual length of Mars’ visit to a sign. Mars happens to be your classical ruler (usurped by Pluto after its 1930 discovery), so you feel its movements acutely. While Mars is in Gemini, you could exponentially increase your power or join forces with a well-connected VIP.

Virgo season brings some lightness to the mix after August 22, heating up your friendship and social activity sector for a month. Now you can get out and mingle instead of being chained to your desk or devices. The people you meet while out and about could open fascinating new doors, especially near the August 27 Virgo new moon. RSVP “yes” and get ready to network!

Ready to make some money moves, Cancer? This month, you can start to build the security you've been seeking. Until August 22, the Sun is visiting Leo and your stabilizing second house. You'll have the focus and grit to buckle down—or at least a sense of where to direct all those big ideas that have been swirling around you this year. With lucky Jupiter in your career house until October 28, you’re finding big opportunities to stretch your wings professionally. Take the leap of faith!

Your teamwork sector is lit up like a live wire as the month begins. On August 1, activator Mars, disruptor Uranus AND the karmic north node make an ultra-rare convergence in Taurus and your group-activity sector. This hotheaded trio could find you jumping into a cutting-edge collaboration at warp speed. You might also abruptly part ways with a group, like Cancer Elon Musk and Twitter (hopefully without the legal drama!).

Start pacing yourself later this month and get ready to slow down a bit. On August 20, action planet Mars will begin an extended trek through Gemini and your twelfth house of healing, rest and conclusions, staying until March 25, 2023. This Mars cycle will require some serious energy (and mood) management. Most important: Get enough sleep! For scientific evidence on the power of shuteye, load your Kindle up with fellow Cancerian Arianna Huffington’s book The Sleep Revolution: Transforming Your Life, One Night at a Time. (If you doze off reading it, even better!)

This seven-month cycle is five times the usual length of Mars’ visit to a sign, and it can be a mixed blessing in this position. On the one hand, you may be forced to prioritize and pace yourself. But once you surrender to it, you might find miraculous benefits. If you have a spiritual or artistic gift, this Mars transit could be a dynamic time to develop it—and gain a following! You may be dealing with a tough emotional transition that requires you to be a warrior now. Don’t suppress your feelings because plenty of loving and fierce support awaits if you allow yourself to receive.

Luckily, you’ll be able to speak up for yourself when the Sun moves into Virgo for a month on August 22, warming up your communication zone. Welcome new allies at the August 27 Virgo new moon and connect with your core crew as often as you can for the next four weeks. Conversations, culture-vulturing and connecting will make the rest of summer feel so much sweeter!
