Your Monthly Predictions

August will feature 16 planetary transits, including retrograded and conjunctions. Here are some highlights!

Mercury Retrograde in Leo ♌️

Aug 5 to Aug 28

Mercury, planet of thought and commerce, is retrograde in Leo between August 5th to 28th 2024. This is a medium-length Mercury retro period, where your ideas and communication have a reset, and you may expect delays or confusion in reaching an agreement. Leo gives you a confident, even rather theatrical style of speech, but going back over your recent work or business deals, you think about things differently. Check out all your technology and back up your data – this window is known for technical hitches, and you also learn a lot about your transport, machinery, and media delivery systems.

Saturn in Purva Bhadrapada Pada 1 (♒️ Aquarius)

Aug 18 to Oct 3

Saturn, planet of karma and success, re-enters pada (part) one of Purva Bhadrapada from August 18th to October 3rd 2024, in the Aquarius portion of this nakshatra. This is part of Saturn’s retrograde cycle, where it goes back over the area it covered in April and May of this year, and you decide whether to move forwards with plans from that time. Saturn retrograde has a make-or-break quality, where you either plough forwards and take on new responsibility, or cut your losses and put your energy to better use elsewhere.

Jupiter in Mrigashira Pada 1 (♉️ Taurus)

Aug 20 to Sep 22

Jupiter, planet of education and protection, enters pada (part) one of Mrigashira from August 20th to September 22nd, as part of its swift movement through the sign of Taurus. Mrigashira’s myth of a pursuit driven by desire reflects your goals of knowledge and security, and the thrill of the chase now has a definite appeal. You are drawn to foreign adventure and business which broadens your mental horizons, and Pada Four of this nakshatra relates to Leo navamsha, where you do things with a flourish and appreciate being seen.
