This is another rather intense and variegated month for you, Pisces, with Mercury in retrograde from almost its very start, beginning in your opposite sign, indicating deep reflection and questioning concerning your relationships and how they affect your own evolutionary development. You have been engaged with dream imagination and unconscious process all summer, and this adds a further dimension. It is good to quietly go with it, trusting intuition to guide you as much if not more than everyday logic will. The Leo New Moon of August 4th, the same day that Mercury stations, reminds you that daily habits and workplace environments, as well as health regimens, are all under fresh scrutiny along with your partnership dynamic. A shifting worldview is one of the current benefits of this introspective timing, especially when you can stay open to what it brings, avoiding trying very hard to steer events to your preconceptions. Your changing beliefs represent important values that are your own, independent of consensus thinking. The potent Aquarius Full Moon of the 19th might represent a fulfillment of all these tendencies, and a burst of intuitional information or surprise events that could rock you to the core and further expose you to the Mystery at the heart of your existence.

August arrives on the heels of the Cancer lunation cycle sparked by the recent New Moon from early July, which lit up your sector of creative self-expression, any children you might have, and joyful pleasure. This recent July cycle that is currently ending also featured transformational Pluto in your sector of unconscious process and inner work, so that there have likely been massive changes in the way that you see your hidden places, deep within your psyche, and this trend continues into the current month.
The Leo New Moon takes place on August 4th, emphasizing work, routine, habit patterns, health, and responsibilities. It’s a busy month but most of the action could be related to working on reconciling different areas of your life that require a certain amount of straightening out; and this could include your domestic life, partnerships and your career.
Mercury retrogrades in Virgo on the same day, so that there could also be a need to sort out the superfluous from the essential. You are in a meditative and thoughtful mode of questioning and reviewing your existing partnerships or the general relationship dynamic that you can identify as your own part in what usually follows. Mercury is retrograde in Virgo, and then Leo, from the 4th to the 28th and this could be your opportunity to clarify priorities or the contracts and the agreements you have with others.
On August 12th, the First Quarter Moon lands with a potential conflict in action between your belief system, or perhaps foreign travel plans, and what you habitually do while at home tending your own garden.
From the 13th to the 15th, a conjunction between Mars and Jupiter in Gemini arises, and also squares Saturn in your sign. This also involves Venus in Virgo in the days following, all in Mutable signs. This could highlight an ongoing tension between personal directions and your sense of obligation with the need to lean into current opportunities knocking at your door even if these are not ideal. You may have to compromise.
The Full Moon in Aquarius on August 19th could bring fresh questions of evolving issues of self and other. The first of the three squares between Jupiter in Gemini and Saturn in your sign, occurring this month, could emphasize the multitude of options available right at home, and a commitment to greater concentrated effort to take responsibility for what is most important to you. If you have a tendency to spread yourself too thin or in too many directions, this could become increasingly unsustainable.
The Sun enters your opposite sign of Virgo on August 22nd, stimulating your relationships and giving fresh energy to this important area of your life.
On the 28th, Mercury turns direct in Leo while Venus enters Libra on the 29th. The end of August may continue to emphasize interpersonal dynamics, collaborations and the agreements you have with others. Although some part of you could still be craving independence, especially with work, you may be able to find the middle ground between what someone else wants versus doing it your own way, based on your own inner values.
With the massive changes that are happening now, I highly recommend that folks get a transit report tailored specifically to their chart for the most accurate description of what's in store for you in the months ahead.
