The intro most people had into Astrology came in the form of horoscopes.

I remember grabbing magazines and reading them as a kid while my mom shopped for groceries.

While we label ourselves as "I am a Virgo" or "I am a Gemini", which is to say "This is my Sun Sign", the sun sign only signifies one piece of the puzzle that is you, albeit one ginormous piece.

Your Sun Sign tells about your life's blueprint, the thing you aim to access in this life and build a legacy on. It is tied to your life path, your innermost purpose, your compass. Your Sun sign is tired to your vision for your life.

So in reading these horoscopes, relate it to your life vision, your feeling of "home" your motivations.

Here are your August 2024 Sun Sign Horoscopes!

♈️ Aries Suns: Ya'll have Chiron, the wounded leader moving through your sign right now, which means a rather slow play out of previous wounds coming through for healing. This illuminates areas of your life path that could be used as material for the vision you're building.

♉️ Taurus Suns: Uranus is co-present in the same house as your Sun and it has been for some time now. I suspect you’ve been feeling the “shaking up” as far as your motivation goes. This might continue to feel uncomfortable given the fact that Taurus is a fixed Earth sign that does not appreciate the shaking up of ANYTHING. Doubt might creep in and inner arguments might entail.

HOWEVERRRRR Virgo Venus is in a supportive trine to your Taurus Uranus, which adds some very much needed creative inspiration. You might feel inclined to bring creativity into your life in unexpected ways, even learning new skills and crafts all together! The point is, these creative inspirations will bring GOOD change to your life and teach you some valuable skills.

♊️ Gemini Suns: Mars and Jupiter make their home in your sign this month, eventually squaring Saturn in Pisces on August 13. While you might encounter some more obvious physical energy or passion this month along with a spark of grandiosity and bigger ideals for your life, that Pisces Saturn will challenge you to bring some concrete plans to your imagination during this time period. See this as an opportunity to realistically adjust the plan for your life and take physical action on the best logical next step.

♋️ Cancer Suns: You catch a little bit of a break this month, your Sun sign faces fair weather! Yes, Mercury retrograde occurs sextile of your sign, but you may find that it doesn't affect your bigger vision all that much right now. Keep on chugging along Cancerians!

♌️ Leo Suns: The transiting Sun is in your sign right now and it LOVES to be there, making your Sun even brighter than usual. You might feel more centered than usual, the need to be more expressive. Later this month after August 13, Mercury moves retrograde into your sign, bringing with it some reflection points in terms of logic, communication and all things left brained.

♍️ Virgo Suns: MERCURY RETROGRADE IS HEREEEE! Mercury makes it home and decides it wants to spend a little more time here than usual, so it starts moving backwards through the sign to move forward through it all over again in September.

Mercury here is strong, so moving backwards just gives it more opportunity to do what it does best in a slower paced manner: Dig deeper and break big concepts down.

Expect a little more attention to the smaller details involving your life path such as how you connect, how you communicate, how you can be heard, writing, feeling inclined to consider traveling, etc. This is a very productive retrograde for you.

♎️ Libra Suns: LIBRAAAS you get a break this month where the action for you starts on August 29 when Venus moves into your sign and brings greater feelings of harmony with your life's vision as well as a rekindling of the flames that motivate you.

♏️ Scorpio Suns: Saturn has BEEN supportively trining your Sun Sign for quite some time now in your pal water sign of Pisces, indicating supportive emotional boundaries around what fuels you. You might find a rather mature approach and organization regarding making your life vision a reality. You are also at the end of a long spurt of opposing Uranus, the Planet of Rebellion. You might feel your life vision being challenged to keep with tradition or to make way for the new, but don't fret. Working through the challenges help build an even stronger legacy long term. You are the Phoenix of the Zodiac for a reason!

♐️ Sagittarius Suns: Your Sun wants to build higher visions and all the while you are being challenged by a Mars and Jupiter conjunction in Gemini right across the street from you. There might be a pull towards breaking your vision down this month into more logical pieces, warring within about what to take action on, something you honestly don't do on any day of the week as jumping in is your specialty. This discomfort might feel magnified and disempowering. There is a light at the end of the tunnel as Mars moves into Cancer in early September! Stick with it Sags!

♑️ Capricorn Suns: The Mercury Retrograde is happening in your Earth cousin Virgo's house, which is trine to your Sun. Like Virgo, for the first half of the month, you might actually benefit from the slow methodical breakdown this retrograde is going to inspire in you. Your Vision is usually very grounded and based in the material, but can be one dimensional. Allow the trine from Venus to inspire some craft and creativity into your CEO-flavored life journey.

♒️ Aquarius Suns: You get a full moon in Aquarius on August 19, meaning some feeling of completion related to your motivation and purpose. Things might not be perfect, but you feel fulfilled with what you've gotten done so far. And that is to say you deserve this feeling as Pluto is retrograde at the VERY start of your sign until September 2, when it gives your Sun a break until later this year when it comes back in. That feeling of the shoe about to drop but not dropping? Yeah, that will feel better by September.

♓️ Pisces Suns: Neptune AND Saturn retrograde through your Sun sign?? Talk about being caught between the past and the present, challenging chaos with order. All this co-present with your Sun: Your life's vision and life path! You might feel like your life's purpose is all a bit of a confusing uphill mess right now and a challenging topic to hone in on.

On August 13, Mars and Jupiter in Gemini Square your Saturn and your Sun sign, adding to the feeling of pressure to do it all but at the same time have it all together. Mars is challenging you to GO-GO-GO and do everything all at once and Saturn is telling you to slow the fuck down and choose one thing. As you go about this month, try to aim for simplicity: Ask yourself "What can I consolidate now?" Narrow your areas of focus for now and ride it out. Let the life path be on your radar, but don't immediately jump to any one thing just yet.
