August 2022 Horoscope Predictions: 12 Sign Overview

Moving into August, we enter a month of change, transformation, and rejuvenation full of opportunity. This is a month of simultaneously picking up the pace and of slowing down, and enjoying the remainder of summer with an open heart. With that said, we will be kicking off the month in the sign of the energetic Leo, which is sure to give the signs a boost of drive, confidence, and pride right off the bat.

This could have the signs feeling bolder in trying new things, as well as exploring some fun, soul-food activities since Leo is all about living in the moment. However, Leo also loves to be pampered and indulge in the finer things in life, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself drawn to a little luxury this month as well.

Aside from this, the planets will also be quite active this month, with some major influences coming from Venus and Uranus. Venus, the planet of beauty and love, will enter Leo this month, pushing more passion and confidence into relationships, as well as a need for some self-care.

Around the 24th, Uranus will also go retrograde in the Taurus sign, pushing the signs to find better stability within themselves, and work more on self-improvement. We also enter the season of the Virgo the day before, which is likely to bring hard work, productivity, and an independent approach to our personal and professional life.

As you can see, August is likely to be full of opportunities to change and transform in many different ways. But to give you a better idea of what’s ahead, in this article, we’re going to go over a brief summary of August for each of the Zodiac signs to help you better understand what energy may be around you this month and how you can make the most of it.
