What August's Pisces Horoscope Means for You
Read what your sign's 2018 horoscope predictions have in store for you, or check out the Pisces personality profile.
Pisces is the dreamiest sign of the zodiac, so your ideal reality is quite fantastical. But over the past few weeks, you’ve had to swap your spiritual quest for a morning commute. Recently, it’s been all about the daily grind, which is fundamentally quite exhausting. Fortunately, a dynamic solar eclipse on Saturday, August 11 helps infuse a bit of magic back into your schedule.
[Solar eclipses] are new moons revved up a few notches: They amplify the effects of the lunation exponentially. So, as the sun and moon meet in Leo, don’t be surprised if you’re suddenly struck by a brilliant idea that transforms your daily routine into a spiritual ritual. After all, Pisces darling, structure helps us build momentum, fueling energy that can be channeled into whatever we desire.
Speaking of desire, Venus cruises into Libra on Monday, August 6, activating the area of your chart associated with emotional intimacy. Known by astrologers as the Eighth House, it is often referred to as the zone of “death, sex, and transformation.” If this sounds intense, that’s because it is: the Eighth House is a serious place to dwell. But don’t worry, this isn’t all doom and gloom. In fact, this region is rather erotic. For the next few weeks, romantic bonds are going to get extra amorous, so don’t be afraid to dial up the kink. Or, if you’re feeling a bit more independent, this is an excellent time to explore self-pleasure. Remember, Pisces, it doesn’t always take two to tango.
What could be more annoying than Mercury retrograde? When the planet of communication spins backward, it feels like you have a pebble trapped in your shoe. Sure, you can function, but every step is irritating. This summer, however, not only were we forced to deal with an annoying pebble — we also stepped in dog shit. Mars, the planet of action and determination, has been spinning backward since June 26, causing major professional slow-downs and maddening false starts. With two major retrogrades occurring simultaneously (Mercury went reverse on July 27), the past few weeks have been difficult. Fortunately, both of these planets conclude their retrograde cycles by late August (Mercury is direct on Sunday, August 19 and Mars follows suit on Monday, August 27). Finally, you’re back in business.
The sun moves into Virgo (your opposite sign) on Thursday, August 23, activating the area of your chart connected to partnerships. Relationships are about to be front and center, Pisces love, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself entering a new bond over the next few weeks. Of course, not all connections are romantic: We also pair off to form businesses and friendships.
This year’s only full moon in your sign electrifies the sky on Sunday, August 26. This is a huge day for you, which is bound to expose critical information about your existing interpersonal dynamics. Whether you’re seeking commitment or closure, August will surely go out with a bang. With so much energy swirling, make sure you’re taking time for yourself.
