August 2022 is ground zero with the once in two millennia Mars-Uranus-North Node conjunction igniting a period of disruptions and surprises that serve as an awakening into a new era.
Rare Mars-Uranus-Dragon’s Head Conjunction: The Call of the Unknown…
August kicks off upon a seed of a new awakening with a Mars-Uranus-North Node (or "Dragon's Head") conjunction in Taurus on the 31st July-1st August.
This is a once in thousands of lifetimes event that will precipitate key consciousness shifts.
The Sabian Symbol* for this conjunction (at 19 Taurus) is “a new continent rising out of the ocean” symbolising surging new potentials through crisis. Time to take responsibility, pride and ownership of the world we create. Whatever insights arise may startle you but positively so, opening up totally new and unfamiliar territory for you to explore. This conjunction plants seed of a whole new physical paradigm to take us all forward into the new millennium.
With the super-lucky New Moon in Leo of July 28th also active and waxing as August begins, it’s time to let your hair down and enjoy life. Be naughty, mix things up a bit and try something different.
This is a chance to disrupt the status quo - a good time to question where you feel a little stuck and break the pattern!
This triple conjunction Mars-Uranus-North Node in Taurus colours most of August, creating a fixed deadlock in the skies with Saturn in Aquarius, the Sun in Leo and the South Node in Scorpio. The whole thing is activated like clockwork by each of the phases of the Moon on August 5th, 12th and 19th - dates that ring as clear as a bell.
August is loud, disruptive, surprising month, bringing positive change - a hot rollercoaster ride into the unfamiliar. What are your red lines? Where do you need to make your stand?
Waxing Quarter Moon in Scorpio August 5th: Mini Transformation!
Our next stop is August 5th with a emotionally intense waxing quarter moon in Scorpio conjunct the South Node, opposite Uranus-Mars-North Node and square Saturn and the Sun. This is a fixed Grand Cross formation - with Moon in crisis-loving Scorpio - a maximum tension situation. Now is the time to rise to the challenge and clear away old poisons.
At the same time, Mercury enters Virgo August 4th to stay til the 26th. Time to organise our thinking, take things apart and put them back together again.
Mars squares Saturn on the 7th calling for stamina and discipline - a good wake up call from those indulgent, rebellious Jupiter and Mars-Uranus vibes. Venus also trines Neptune on the 7th creating the perfect atmosphere for fun, love and romance - dive straight in for your reward!
By the 9th, Venus opposes Pluto and love and pleasure take on darker and more exhausting shades. But soon, on the 11th, Venus enters Leo to stay til September 5th and love gets big, bold and dramatic. No miserly displays please!
Aquarius Full Moon Supermoon August 11th-12th: Upgrade Installed!
The Full Moon arrives on the night of the 11th-12th (02:35am BST on the 12th) at 19:21 degrees of Aquarius. It is the last Supermoon of the year, still sailing close to the earth.
This is a major crossroads, marking the 2022 eclipses halfway point, when we’re called to leave the familiar behind and step into the unknown.
The Full Moon conjuncts Saturn and we’re in for a reality check - a serious, dutiful moment. And yet, with Uranus/North Node ruling the Moon and in square to both Moon and Sun, the end result of this lunation is most likely some form of liberation, an awakening or insight.
Something important crystallises at this Full Moon that can set us free.
Expect surprises and disruptions in the run up to the Full Moon as the Sun squares Uranus and the Nodes on the 10th-11th. Events could be exhilarating, startling and require a lightning fast response from you. Leo rules the heart and that’s the only place you can know what’s right for you. Check in with yours.
By the 14th the Sun opposes Saturn for a major 2022 reality check. Nose to the grindstone. But good to know where you stand. Mars first sextiles Neptune (on the 11th) then trines Pluto on the 14th putting lots of energy at your disposal to inspire and move others toward your goals.
The Sabian Symbol* for this Full Supermoon is “a large white dove bearing a message”, symbolising a spiritual reward for previous efforts. This is a moment of insight. The screen reads “message in: upgrade complete”. All that remains is for us to run the new programme. Running the new software should be easier once Mercury trines Node/Uranus on the 15th-16th.
Two days later, on the 18th, a wonderful day for self-indulgence arrives. That’s when Venus trines Jupiter for a day made for pleasure, love and all beautiful things!
Waning Quarter Taurus Moon August 19th: Urgent Shifts!
The next major turning point this month arrives August 19th and 20th. The Moon hits its last quarter on August 19th in Taurus widely conjunct Uranus/Node and closely conjunct Mars in the very last and critical degree of Taurus.
It’s time for a radical shift in perspective, especially where physical matters are concerned - our body, our energy, our finances and resources, our food, our security and our overall sustenance.
There’s a manic quality to Mars in this last Taurus critical degree, where Mars is already slowed down and debilitated and frantic to get things finally moving and unstuck. There is a dogged, obstinate feel of urgency to put up a fight, dig in your heels or make a stand in some very real and physical sense. All this cannot last but will sure lead to a shift in perspective.
Mars enters Gemini next, on August 20th where he will stay until March 25th 2023!
We’re in for a crucial period of major changes this autumn that will take us all the way into next spring.
Mars turns retrograde in Gemini on October 30th (til January 12th) bringing all sorts of discontent and grumblings to the surface. Things begin losing momentum as soon as September 3rd and it’s time to conserve your energies because there’s some sort of major operation ahead.
Mars retro can be harsh on the body, frazzling the nerves and depleting energy levels. But this is a great time to put in a sustained effort to totally revamp some area of your life (the one containing Gemini!). It’s going to be a highly eventful autumn!
Mercury, who will also turn retrograde soon (on September 10th) also enters his retrograde shadow on August 21st, indicating that all sorts of sagas are about to start that we won’t see the end of for a good long while. Time to start tidying up loose ends and finishing projects.
Any new ventures should be entered in an experimental spirit after the 21st.
Mercury opposes Neptune and trines Pluto on the 21st-22nd when misinformation may flare up. But all we need to do is scratch the surface and we can easily tap into a wealth of data.
Next up, the Sun enters Virgo on the 23rd - happy birthday Virgo! To celebrate Virgo Season, Uranus (the planet of all things random and unexpected) stations retrograde on the 24th. That’s another tense, unstable moment right there, putting ants in your pants and fraying the nerves. With Uranus settling into his retrograde for the winter, the time has come to process all the crazy and bizarre changes so far in your life and quietly start internalising and implementing insights and innovations.
Virgo New Moon 27th: Get Fixin' Things!
As is usual these days, after a lot of hullabaloo, the month ends with a brand New Moon hitting a brand new note that will reverberate in the month to come. On August 27th we have a Virgo New Moon at 09:17 BST at 03:03 degrees Virgo.
This baby is square Mars and not to be trifled with! Time to call forth our inner action hero because some sort of battle lies ahead.
Here begins a confrontational and highly action packed period, where we can achieve a tonne. Now’s the time to set your most demanding plans into motion - actions that require lots of energy, intelligence and skill. This period initially peaks around September 10th, then bears its fruit in early March 2023 at the next Virgo Full Moon. Lots starts now, it seems, that won’t be fully resolved til March 2023…
Venus gets in on the action square the North Node and Uranus on the 25th-27th then opposes Saturn in the 28th rattling whatever rackety relationship and financial cages we’re in to see if we’ll fall out. Some key value judgment or decision is called for at this point - especially where a relationship, investment or financial matter is concerned. Saturn has the final word and any breaks for freedom need to be realistic and practical too.
Mercury, the ruler of this Virgo New Moon, trines Mars and the war-like energy is doubled. This lunation can move mountains! But Mercury is already on unstable ground, in his retrograde shadow and in Libra since the 26th, where he will turn retrograde on September 10th.
The stage is set. Relationships, agreements, negotiations, laws, politics, business deals, back-scratchings and anything that's off kilter now needs reviewing.
The Sabian symbol* for this Virgo New Moon is ‘black and white children play together happily’, indicating a rare and hopeful image of universal brotherhood (and sisterhood) absent any social and cultural prejudices. This is an inspiring image to take into this fully armed virgin warrior that’s this lunation. Virgo knows full well that the earth and its inhabitants form one organic whole: break one little piece and the whole thing falls apart. And this Virgo New Moon means to take things apart and put them back together again! Come the end of August, it’s time to take bold and active steps to restore some semblance of health to the system.
There’s a big reckoning coming this autumn and you can already hear the drumroll... Let’s make the most of this ball-busting, maddening, freedom-loving adventure that is August, because we may need an iron stomach and nerves of steel to power through the Autumn of 2022.
This month is the ignition point of great changes that will take us to Spring 2023 and beyond.

Your home and family are foremost on your mind in early August. You’re in a nesting mood, wanting to spend time away from the limelight with your loved ones. This is also an excellent window of opportunity to buy, sell or renovate a property with the July 28th New Moon putting a very lucky wind in your sails.

Alternatively, it may be your own healing journey that culminates in an important realisation that changes your outlook. The decision to take an important trip may also crystallise at this Full Moon.
The past six weeks have been tough on you, forcing you to face your demons, spend time alone and even sacrifice your own desires to accommodate others but all that’s about to change.

This is sure to give you the upper hand on almost anything and everything that you want to achieve in this world, drawing energy to you.

Virgo August Horoscope
You’re in a very private mood as August gets underway, dear Virgo, still feeling the reclusive vibes of last month’s New Moon. Escape is what this month is all about - and rightly so. Let your spirit soar. This is your time to hang up your hat and let the world go fish while you fly off to exotic adventures. On a deeper level, it is your philosophical outlook that is changing. Your thoughts are in such disarray that you need some time to process all this radical, crazy stuff you’re realising and come up with a new vision fo your life. August is the perfect time to meditate on it.
You may be flying high but the August Full Moon is sure to crash land you back to reality, pulling your focus right back to your work, chores, tasks and responsibilities.

You’ve had to rely on others and defer to their whims a lot of late, and that must have been frustrating.

Early August is the perfect time to cash in your chips for fun and pleasure.

You have a very important Full Moon in your sign on August 12th. This is a key moment of culmination for you, crystallising your personality and identity into something new. You’re in the process of becoming a whole different person, maturing, growing and taking on new responsibilities. This Full Moon will show you just how far you’ve come and add a feather to your cap. A home or family related emergency may be the trigger, calling you to rise to the challenge and show how far you’ve come.
A home, property or family-related matter has been taking up all your time and energy of late and it’s been a rollercoaster ride. This rocky and rather unsettling period is here to help you get unstuck and set your life on a new foundation. Come August 20th, you’re entering a period that’s much more playful and creative all the way til next spring, when you will focus on what you love. A child may become the focus of your attention, you may embark on new romantic adventures or make a sustained effort to get a creative project off the ground. It may not always be plain sailing but this will be a very sexy and rejuvenating time for you.
The New Moon of August 27th brings your attention squarely to joint financial matters. Loans, grants, taxes, investments and shared property are all under review and there may be legal or international implications. Now’s the time to get up close and personal and sort out any tricky business. Whether you’re seeking funding for a creative project, sorting out debt, dealing with joint property or coming up with an investment strategy, the time has come to raise your game and expand your playing field.
Dates to Watch: August 1st and 2nd are sexy and fun, energising and electrifying. August 7th requires strong stamina. The 14th and 28th bring clarity on the relationship front. August 16th is intellectually stimulating, excellent for brainstorming. The 24th brings realisations and a change of gear, as Uranus, your ruler, goes retrograde for the winter. Time to come up with a plan.
Pisces August Horoscope
What used to feel familiar feels unfamiliar this August, dear Pisces, and, what’s more, you’re fine with it. You’re embracing the unfamiliar - or rather something even more unnerving: constant changes to what used to be familiar to the point where you don’t even know the difference! That’s right. Small baby steps does it. Travel, networking, meeting people could all leave you breathless and buzzing by the end of the month. Meanwhile, a super lucky New Moon is helping you overhaul your work, health and overall lifestyle in early August, not to mention boosting your earnings.
As busy as you are in the early days of August, the August Full Moon brings a moment of quiet contemplation. Take a breath to meditate, write down your dreams or be alone with yourself. Your spirit has a message for you! Are you feeling that something is ending or is no longer that important for you? Is it time to let go of something? Take a moment to listen to your inner voice and rest from the stressful time you’ve had. As your past is slowly cast loose, it’s making way for a whole new you to emerge over the coming years.
You’ve been in a whirlwind of commotion, travel and communications for well over a month now and this crazy trend will continue all the way to August 20th. You’ve had plenty of opportunity to expand your operations and put you stamp on your world. On August 20th, your focus and attention is called back to base. Your homing beacon is on and you’re now ready to pour all your energy into redecorating, renovating and reorganising your home, sorting out any family business, or even buying or selling property. No rush. You have all the way til next spring to get things done, by which time you will achieve an incredible transformation. Your home won’t be a peaceful place for the period, but it will be worth it.
The August 27th New Moon brings a dynamic new beginning on the relationship front. This opens the perfect window to launch any publicity, hire contractors or make a fresh start with a spouse or partner. Marrying your relationship with your family needs or with the hotbed of activity at home won’t be easy, but you can certainly achieve a lot if you find the right people and manage your joint energies. This can be an empowering experience, teaching you about intimacy, sharing and joint finances, and allowing a relationship to go deeper.
Dates to Watch: Mark August 7th and 18th as the best days this month. August 7th is hyper-romantic and August 18th is an excellent day for love and pleasure. The 11th can be soothing to your nerves and could inspire you to action. Watch on August 21st that you don’t confuse fact and fiction.
