GEMINI

Overall:
August is a back-to-basics month. Your ruling planet Mercury goes retrograde in Virgo starting August 5, pulling you into deep reflection around your home, communication, and emotional foundations. While the Leo Sun brightens your curiosity and sociability, you may find yourself needing more quiet time to process feelings or revisit personal goals. The Aquarius Full Moon on August 11 awakens your thirst for adventure, but also tests your ability to hold multiple truths at once. The New Moon in Virgo on the 25th helps you get real about your emotional boundaries and how you care for yourself.

Love & Relationships:
Expect heart-to-heart conversations or reconnections with people from your past. Your communication style is in flux — sometimes overly analytical, sometimes too vague. Try to slow down and speak from the heart. In long-term relationships, a deeper conversation may surface around shared living, caregiving, or family dynamics. If single, a flirtation may emerge through a casual setting or shared interest — but go slow and see how it feels over time.

Career & Finance:
This is not a sprint month. You're better off revisiting old ideas or revising current projects than launching anything brand-new. Mercury retrograde can cause miscommunication, so double-check messages, dates, and fine print. Mid-month may bring an opportunity to pitch a creative concept, but read the room carefully. Financially, avoid signing contracts or making large purchases until Mercury goes direct.

Health & Wellness:
Nervous system care is essential. When your mind is racing, your body follows. Incorporate more rest, less multitasking, and nourishing daily rituals — tea before bed, walks in nature, or even organizing your space. Journaling could help you understand emotional patterns from the past.
