GEMINI HOROSCOPE for AUGUST 2024

GEMINI/GEMINI ASCENDANT

So the Full Moon of August 4th is a great way to begin the month:

In your natural habitat, the 3rd house of clever mental activity and the loquacious communication you adore. I mean you love the stimulation of juggling a thousand ideas at once, and even more love to chat about it! Do admit talking is like oxygen to you -and this Moon could be just the thing, to express your multi-faceted genius.

Especially Venus involved. You’re having fun wrangling the intellectual stimulation, of so many creative notions turning you on right now. And as your famous intelligence shines; you attract the exciting conversations you crave, with all the right people who appreciate what you’re on about.

Ok, cool. But also we need to talk about your ruler Mercury, retrograde this month:

It gets personal, in your 4th house of home & family dynamics. Venus into your 4th house, from August 5th joins Mercury turning retrograde. Right when certain familial dynamics become tetchy, with potential misunderstandings? Venus turns up just in time, with the charm and loving connection to finesse any issues coming up, creating domestic harmony as best you can….

So when Venus direct & Mercury retro meet, moving in different directions as they exactly conjunct, August 8th. Perfect timing to manage divergent opinions with loved ones, with healthy willingness to compromise, for loving mutual support.

Also you are totally inspired to beautify/feng shui/reno your space, maybe even sussing out a potential move-to create your ideal abode. Yes, but just in case any dilemmas about property/real estate issues? Best wait until Mercury comes back direct in your 4th house, from Sept 10th, to actually commit to big decisions/sign any contracts etc.

Because meanwhile, Mercury retro backs into your 3rd house from August 16th. Mid month brings the focus back, to whatever ideas & conversations were turning you on for the New Moon Aug 4th.

A chance to revise & reconsider any intellectual notions or dialogues, that suddenly feel klunky. It’s so worth taking a moment to finesse your ambivalent attitude or any unresolved dialogues, lurking around?

The better to charge forward, with a fresh perspective and clear communication with Mercury direct here, from Aug 30th. To begin September with lovely, renewed clarity in all areas of life. Including sorting out your domestic situation, we spoke about earlier. Something to look forward to.  

Meanwhile we really need to talk about Mars conjunct Jupiter in Gemini, exact August 14th. This is utterly fabulous!

So Jupiter in your sign since May, awakened a whole new positive attitude about being you. Turned on by a willingness to evolve, with whatever expansive personal growth turns you on. Especially Pluto in your adventurous 9th house, to get out of your comfort zone about it.

Which had you so ready for Mars in your sign since July 22nd, energising your visionary moxy. With next level vitality, sexy charisma and determination to thrive. If you have been feeling a rush of confidence, permission to work shameless self promotion & just being your true self?

Yes, and more likely to attract attention from all the right people, precisely because you could give a fuq what anyone else thinks…

Whether professional talent, fascinating intellect, seductive wiles in your love life or sorting out family dynamics-you are wildly desirable right now!

Then the Full Moon of Aug 20th in your visionary 9th house, opposite Mercury conjunct Sun in your 3rd house. Exactly square radical Uranus in your soul sector. It’s all about aligning with your most meaningful spiritual & creative imperatives, to focus all this personal power wisely, about whatever truly matters to you. Know what I mean?
