The third week brings an oasis with the Venus-Jupiter conjunction, but also new dilemmas with the New Moon in Virgo on 23 August, which squares the Sky and participates in a suffocating Yod with Saturn, Neptune and Pluto. In the last days of the month, the Venus in Leo attempts to soothe the wounds, but also to reveal who or what has real endurance in time.

One thing is certain: August never leaves you the same. If you don't choose, events will choose you. See how your sign is affected below.
♈ Aries
August brings you face to face with your own contradictions: on the one hand the intense enthusiasm for something new, and on the other the constant misunderstandings brought on by Mercury retrograde in the area of love and creative expression. The beginning of the month is introspective, but full of tensions - either with friends or romantic partners. The Full Moon on 9/8 brings you to a crossroads: what belongs in the past and what deserves a place in your future?
The New Moon on 23/8 requires you to redefine your everyday life, even your small habits. Sudden changes at work or in relationships with partners may be the trigger to make clearer decisions. At the end of the month, Venus in Leo rekindles your need for romance - but only if you know what you really want will you be able to claim it without drama.
♉ Taurus
Home, family and security issues dominate the first phase of August. Mercury in retrograde clouds communication with familiar people, while misunderstandings and past issues persistently demand resolution. Mars in Libra brings more obligations, but also the need to set limits on your time and energy. The Full Moon on August 9 reveals a real truth about your professional status or a relationship that has deteriorated.
With the New Moon igniting the love field on 23/8, it's also the time to make room for joy - but also to protect yourself from those who thwart it. Perhaps a flirtation will entice you, but it carries risk. Towards the end of the month, Venus in Leo invites you to invest more in your inner stability. If you've figured out where it's worth staying and where it's worth leaving, you gain far more than you imagine.
♊ Gemini
Communication is your strength, but in August it becomes your weakest point. Mercury in retrograde and so many aspects of Venus in your sign until the end of the month cause constant misunderstandings, misinterpretations and verbal entanglements. Instead of trying to convince, listen more. The Full Moon on 9/8 may bring news from abroad, a study decision or the closing of a deal, but with a lot of tension.
The Virgo New Moon on 23/8 brings you face to face with situations that need to be cleared up at home or in your psychology. Don't get caught up in family dramas or say "yes" to situations that drain you. From the 25th onwards, Venus in Leo gives you the allure of new acquaintances - but these are short-lived. Keep your eyes open: what looks impressive doesn't mean it's meaningful.
♋ Cancer
From the first days of August, you feel you need to protect your value - whether it's money, relationships or time. Venus in your sign initially brings excitement and strong emotions, but her hard aspects early in the month show that you can't have everything without setting boundaries. The Full Moon on 9/8 may confront you with an emotional "debt" or a relationship you don't know whether to continue or end.
The August 23 New Moon requires you to reposition yourself in terms of ideas, agreements and daily communication. It's important to stop trying to explain yourself to people who don't want to understand. Towards the end of the month, Venus in Leo asks you to prioritize and invest in what is truly worthwhile - but without clinging to insecurity. You've already learned how to protect your heart.
♌ Leo
Although you are at the centre of astrological developments, August begins with tensions, delays and intense mental fatigue. Mercury in retrograde in your sign until 11/8 creates confusion in communication and brings awkwardness to even your most natural movements. The Full Moon on August 9 touches the area of relationships and stirs up old grievances and untold expectations. Beware of conflicts and exaggerations - not all truths are ready to be told.
The New Moon on 23/8 leads you to redefine your values: money, self-esteem, security, everything is reassessed. This is not a time for risk, but for a deeper understanding of your potential. Towards the end of the month, with Venus in your sign from 25/8 onwards, your confidence returns - and so does your magnetic charm. But don't get caught up in ephemeral love stories that promise everything and barely last.
♍ Virgo
Although the Sun moves into your sign from 22/8, the month begins with a feeling of pending and behind the scenes. Misunderstandings, delays and difficulties in travel or daily work invite you to rethink how you manage your time. The Full Moon on 9/8 brings to the surface exhaustion or health problems that should not be neglected. Avoid stress and try to take better care of yourself.
The New Moon of 23 August is in your sign and brings you forward to new beginnings, but not without tension. The aspects that accompany it show that to really change, you will need to accept an instability or a sudden shock in your daily life. Towards the end of the month, you may feel emotionally isolated or hold something inside that cannot be openly expressed. Don't let it weigh you down - choose the light.
♎ Libra
August prepares you for a transformation that starts with yourself and extends to your relationships. Mars enters your sign from 7/8 and brings power, but also inner turmoil. On the one hand, you want to take initiative; on the other, conflicts with important people become inevitable. The Full Moon on 9/8 brings you in touch with your need for creation, pleasure and love, but with conditions and limits that now need to be clearly set.
The New Moon on 23/8 illuminates a more inner need: to close loose ends, heal emotional wounds and isolate the noise. Mercury retrograde until 11/8 brings faces from the past or confusion to new acquaintances that have no solid foundation. From 8/25 onwards, Venus in Leo highlights your social profile and makes you more open to flirtations, contacts and outings - but don't be misled by the lights; see what's left when they fade.
♏ Scorpio
This August is deeply introspective for you, with an emphasis on business, public image and friendships. Mercury retrograde, along with Mars in Libra, brings tensions behind the scenes, misunderstandings and perhaps disappointments from people you never imagined. The Full Moon on August 9 invites you to take a clear-eyed look at what you really need to feel secure and who is willing to build it with you.
The New Moon on 23/8 activates your social circle and invites you to choose with whom you associate. It's a good time to say no to those who drain your energy, but also to make room for new people who inspire you. Towards the end of the month, with Venus in Leo, your image becomes brighter, more attractive - but beware: all that glitters is not gold. Keep your power away from sensationalism.
♐ Sagittarius
August brings intense mobility but not necessarily stability. Mercury retrograde at a bright angle until 11/8 causes blockages in travel, studies, travel and legal matters, and new people who approach you may disappear quickly - don't invest emotionally before you see consistency. The Full Moon on 9/8 sheds light on information, news or a long-awaited conversation, but can also bring emotional baggage or revelations.
With the New Moon on 23/8, you turn to business, perhaps with a sense of suffocation, since its aspects require you to adapt to new rules or structures that restrict you. This is an opportunity to redefine your image and ambitions. Towards the end of the month, Venus in Leo enhances your charm and brings you together with people from far away or from other worlds - but most flirtations have an expiration date if there is no honesty.
♑ Capricorn
August opens with tension and fatigue in financial matters, especially regarding third-party money, common expenses or obligations to the state. The Full Moon of August 9 brings unexpected demands or revelations that touch deeply on your self-worth. At the same time, Mercury retrograde until Aug 11 brings delays in procedures, paperwork or agreements, and you need to be doubly careful. Don't trust words without action.
The New Moon on 23/8 pushes you to see things differently: to expand, study, travel or develop your thinking. But it doesn't come without challenges, as the unexpected can upset plans. The key is adaptability. Towards the end of the month, with Venus in Leo, you may receive a financial boost or a love interest related to the past - but you're called to take a more mature, no-illusions approach.
♒ Aquarius
August sheds light on your relationships, but not always in an easy or pleasant way. Mars opposite you from 7/8 brings tensions, confrontations and the need to redefine your boundaries. The Full Moon in your sign on 9/8 illuminates who you are and what you want, as well as what is preventing you from claiming it. Don't be afraid to accept a break if it leads to more freedom. Mercury retrograde until 11/8 brings confusing messages or people coming back without clarity.
The New Moon on 23/8 revisits memories, passions and needs for control, while inviting you to redefine dependent, financial and emotional relationships. This is not a time for risk-taking - it's a time for deep introspection. Towards the end of the month, Venus opposite you fills you with magnetism and love signals - but most are temporary or projected. Stay open, but keep your antennae stretched.
♓ Pisces
The month begins with de-motivation and fatigue: the square of Venus to Saturn and Neptune confronts you with unfulfilled expectations, especially in everyday relationships, work or health. Mercury retrograde until 11/8 causes misunderstandings in the workplace or in matters of routine and organization - small mistakes bring long delays. The Full Moon on 9/8 sheds light on something you've been holding inside: perhaps a truth that needs to be told, even if it hurts.
The New Moon on 23/8 brings you to a new beginning in relationships - be it romantic, cooperative or personal. But it comes with strong tension, instability and the need to let go of what's not grounded. Towards the end of the month, Venus in Leo helps you to improve your daily life, to feel lighter - but again, love stories in this space need clarity, because they hide idealizations and exaggerations.
