What To Expect Astrologically this Month
After the healing moments of July, the magic of August comes in with surprises, creation, sharp focus, and instant transformation. This is time to consciously focus on your growth and Soul evolution as the energies of this month nudge you to continue moving out of your comfort zone and into your truth.
The ebb and flow of life have us riding the passionate waves of the Sun in Leo into Virgo season. Further dynamic activations are brought on this month by the Lion’s Gate Portal, Venus, Mars, Uranus, the North Node, and an Aquarian Supermoon.
What does not serve you currently begins to fall to a lower vibration, ultimately leaving your life, proving to be an excellent time to clear, flush, and release.
It will be an interesting remaining second half of the year as the world around us continues to elevate and upgrade.
History is being re-examined thanks to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto, and the old stories that aren’t compatible with this new frequency, are transmuted.
Be mindful of fear or anxiety-based action, as this energy is highly active in the collective. Check to ensure your actions aren’t being unconsciously driven by fear. One step at a time creates a journey of a lifetime.
Now, let’s take a closer look at the astrology for August 2022.

What are the Major Transits Happening in August?
August 1st: Mars conjunct Uranus & the North Node
Aligning with Purpose
Warrior Mars meets Uranus, the “Great Awakener,” and the North Node is what you would call a shocking turning point that drastically alters the path we’ve been on, individually and globally.
At the end of July, Uranus met with the North Node for the first time since 2007.
Mars, the active yang force of primal energy, fire, vitality, and life, tightly conjuncts Uranus and the North Node while opposing the South Node. And because of these combustive energies, the desire for more stability, empowered self-worth, and self-sufficiency may feel like it’s hard to come by, challenging your overall security.
Be prepared for massive changes and unexpected events, but don’t assume the worst. It’s easy to become fearful during external chaos, especially since Mars’ intensity may have everyone feeling extra jittery or restless.
You’ll want to find creative outlets to channel extra energy, be patient, and get rest. If you avoid self-care, it could create accidents, illness, or fights.
So,
- Take a few slow, deep breaths and tune into your true nature. It’s ok to pause and take a time out.
- Think before you jump into anything you may regret in the future.
- Journal downloads and insights, as they have clues about your life’s path.
- Learn to ride the waves of change with unwavering trust and faith.
August 4th: Mercury enters Virgo
Time for Refined Communications
On August 4th, Mercury goes into its home sign Virgo to help the collective refine the relationship with self-care in all aspects: emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual domains. When channeled productively, this influence can fine-tune the inner channels of communication and ground the mind in a higher frequency of discernment.
To perceive something new or manifest your dreams, you need to shift the mind from the old default settings and strip yourself of old attitudes, assumptions, anxieties, and other limiting behaviors. Avoid criticism and nitpicking.

August 5th – 6th: First Quarter Moon in Scorpio
The First Quarter Moon is a 90-degree square between the Moon and the Sun that demands action and change and makes suitable on our New Moon promises.
Half of the Moon shines bright during this lunar phase, while the other half hides in the darkness. As a result, there is an intense desire to build, create, stabilize, and grow as light increases.
This month’s First Quarter phase takes a deep dive in Scorpio and is busy with an opposition to Uranus and the North Node, tightly conjunct with the South Node. And at the same time, square Saturn, trine Neptune, and sextile Pluto. That is a deadly combo and a time of challenge and testing.
You are likely to encounter choppy waters, which point toward some more significant and potentially volatile emotional events. But you can also expect to experience substantial breakthroughs and receive support or a good push…
