August ascendant horoscope

Although summer is actually the perfect time to relax and let loose, the planets seem to have something different in store for us in August - because several planets are retrograde, giving us a lot of turbulence and life lessons. With Mars, Mercury and the Sun in Virgo at the end of the month, it's more of a time for stable routines and well-thought-out activities than for free and wild nights. There is still time for big new beginnings and wild dreams - after all, a powerful new moon in Leo awaits us towards the middle of the month. And at the latest with the change from Mars to Libra and the dreamy full moon in Pisces at the end of August there is still enough space for creative ideas and a good portion of self-care.

Ascendant Aries

Everything about your health and your daily routines will be particularly exciting for you in August. Because for almost the entire month, Mars and Mercury - which will also turn retrograde at the end of August - will be in your sixth house. On the one hand, this gives you the incentive to really tackle your good resolutions around health and healthy routines of all kinds, but it can also mean that old problems relating to your physical or mental health are now resurfacing. But, don't panic - use this as an opportunity to listen to your body and your needs and treat yourself well. However, you should plan new beginnings when it comes to love - because with the new moon in Leo in the middle of the month, it is time to leave old patterns and love affairs behind to make room for new, successful relationships of all kinds or even new relationship patterns.
