Monthly Horoscope: August 2024 (2024)

It’s an endless summer of love in the Aries Sanctuary—think spontaneous date nights, stolen kisses, handwritten notes and sunset strolls! Yes, things are as good as they feel. Instead of getting in your head—which we know you love to—savour the sweetness of this moment with a grateful heart. Single Aries, bring out the rose quartz and the red candles as you turn up the charm. It’s time to work with Goddess Aphrodite to call in the divine soulmate you desire and deserve. What’s more, the cards are indicating a season of madness and magic, especially if you’re co-creating with your tribe this month! That’s right, beautiful! You’re being called to harness the power of the collective—to surround yourself with those who not only believe in your vision and your mission, but are willing to put in the work it takes to get to the desired destination. Remember, open and honest communication is the hallmark of every healthy relationship. So, don’t hesitate to speak your mind, if and when conflicts arise.

Power crystal: Rose quartz, to recognise that softness is your strength.

The chrysalis stage of development can be all kinds of uncomfortable. The caterpillar’s body starts breaking down into a gooey, cellular soup. And then, over a period of time, its cells rearrange themselves as a way to prepare for the big reveal! If this sounds familiar, know that you too are a butterfly-in-the-waiting, Taurus! Embrace this period of metamorphosis as you prepare to shed the baggage of the past. The uncertainty of it all can be daunting—we get it. But, the best way to embrace change is to simply dance with it! Speaking of change, things may feel unsettled on the romantic front. Could it be that your time together has come to end? Perhaps, you need to pause, step back and gain some perspective? Listen to what your inner compass is telling you without letting your rational mind interfere with the process. As always, remember that life is happening *for* you, not to you. That you are creating your reality through the thoughts you think and the choices you make.

Power crystal: Lepidolite, to assist you in this process of transition.

You know, Gemini. You know in your heart of hearts that the universe is always working in your favour! That’s it’s doing everything it can to help you get in alignment with your grandest vision. So, you’re letting go of that false sense of control and allowing things to unfold as they should, especially in the realm of relationships. Instead of “putting yourself out there” or “making things work”, you’re simply turning your gaze inwards and doing the work. The journey of confronting the shadows is not for the brave-hearted. Thank goddess you’re blessed with an infinite amount of courage! When it comes to professional matters, you’ll find yourself co-creating with your rainbow crew, with the people that you love the most! Perks of the job: the feeling of being held and supported by fellow unicorns who believe in your magic + those heart-to-heart conversations. Perils: the inability to call people out on their BS because you fear hurting them and reaffirming your boundaries when need. If this is true in your case, remember that honesty is the hallmark of every healthy relationship.

Power crystal: Blue kyanite, to activate your throat chakra and speak your truth effortlessly.

Everything—and we mean, everything—is looking spectacular on the professional front this month! You’re moving through life with the inner knowing that you are where you are supposed to be, doing what you are supposed to be doing. *This* is what it feels like to be living in alignment and weaving magic in a way that’s divinely ordained! The only thing you want to be mindful of is your relationship with money. There’s a chance you’re holding onto too tightly because you fear you might run out of resources. Overheard at the cosmic conference: a tight fist cannot make space for grace. When it comes to matters of the heart, practise patience—especially if you’re in the process of letting something or someone go. Remember, it’s not always about a person or a relationship. Sometimes, life challenges us to release the outmoded patterns that hinder growth and prevent us from stepping into the most embodied version of ourselves.

Power crystal: Amethyst, to tap into your higher wisdom.

What is conditioning if not the false programming? It often comes with a side of fear—fear of judgement, failure, or stepping out of line. It's like having an invisible critic hovering over your shoulder, making you second-guess your every move. The good thing is, the new moon in your sign is prompting an inner revolution. The kind of revolution that will enable you to break free from the “shoulds” and the “musts” so you can create the life of your dreams. Just a reminder: destiny is just free will being exercised by your higher self! When it comes to matters of the heart, both magic and madness are indicated. We’re talking about the kind of love that feels fated—that feels serendipitous. So, give yourself the permission to dissolve the barriers as you bring the gift of sensuality into the relationship. This is the season to honour the divine in your beloved by being fully awake and fully present in each moment of togetherness. PS: trust that your relationship will blossom with you, beautiful!

Power crystal: Citrine, to step into the portal of joy, magick, and creativity!

Dharma, in its simplest form, is like your cosmic job description—it’s what you’re here to do, the unique purpose that only *you* can fulfil in this grand cosmic production called life. Think of it as your soul's calling, a blend of your passions, strengths, and the roles you naturally gravitate towards. It's not just about what you do, but how you do it and the positive impact your offerings have on others. But, what does this have to do with anything? The fact that a major level up is on the cards for you this month! What the signs are revealing: that Spirit’s vision for you is grander than the vision you have in mind for yourself. ‘Course to expect every aspect of your life to be picture-perfect would be a tad bit unrealistic, Virgo! Make peace with the fact that you will be tested when it comes to your interpersonal relationships, especially if you’ve been afraid to confront what’s lurking beneath the surface. Yes, we all love the smell and the taste of the familiar. But, that doesn’t mean that the familiar always serves us well. Don’t be afraid to choose yourself—over and over again.

Power crystal: Yellow calcite, to strengthen your solar plexus and stay connected to sense of purpose.

This month, it’s all about fulfilling your *dharma* or your sacred purpose. It’s about serving from a space of authenticity and sharing your sacred gifts. So, listen to your inner voice and follow your passions, even if that means taking the road less travelled. You know in your heart of hearts that your path is uniquely yours and that detours are part of the adventure as well. Perks of living in alignment? It creates a strong magnetic field around you, which in turn calls into your experience both golden opportunities and abundance! If reinventing your social media game is something you’ve been thinking about, embrace your individuality *and* your quirks. In the age of curated social media personas, being real is a superpower, beautiful! When it comes to matters of the heart, you may find yourself falling for somebody in your inner circle—perhaps an old friend you have recently reconnected with. If this is true in your case, give yourself the permission to get real about your feelings without being attached to a specific outcome. What your spirit guides are whispering: what is meant to be yours will ultimately find its way to you! For coupled Libras, this is the season to throw the damn rulebook out of the window and adopt the mantra “friends first, then lovers”.

Power crystal: Himalayan quartz, to manifest from a space of clarity.

Scorpio, you’re doing that thing where you’re giving the past more power than it deserves. The perils of obsessing over what’s gone? That it takes you away from the blessings that are being poured into your chalice now. Here’s something to remember as you move through Leo season: you did what you thought was best at the time, and that’s enough. It’s time to free yourself from the old story, beautiful! What you want to do instead is clarify your intentions and work towards the big goals you have set for yourself with single-minded focus. On a side note, if this requires you to go back to your books, now is a good time to search for a course that meets your criteria. The good news? You’re likely to hit the jackpot when it comes to matters of the heart, especially if you’re in the market for love! The cards are indicating a partner who’s both loyal and committed and wants to dance the dance of life with you. In the early stages of a relationship? Don’t hesitate to talk about your vision for the future if you sense potential.

Power crystal: Green aventurine, for an extra doze of good juju!

Spiritually speaking, you are undergoing a process of inner alchemy. Like a serpent shedding its own skin, you’re letting go of dated beliefs, self-negating thoughts and outmoded patterns. The road to transformation isn’t always rainbows and sunshine. Your strength is that you’re prepared to face the inner darkness en route to becoming the best, most magnificent version of yourself! That said, you may also have to sever ties with a certain someone who has been hindering your growth or your idea of the “happily-ever-after” you envisioned with them. As always, remember that life is happening *for*, and not to you, Sagittarius. When it comes to your professional life, you’re being guided to flip the script. Instead of focusing on what isn’t working, redirect your energy towards growth and self-development. What that means in a practical sense? Get curious about what lights you up and make it your soul’s mission to follow your bliss.

Power crystal: Smoky quartz, to help you stay grounded through the ebb and flow.

Capricorn, 2024 has been a wild ride for you—to say the least! You’ve seen the highest of highs and the lowest of lows on your journey. So, nothing fazes you anymore. You understand that in order to embrace the grandest vision of your life you may have to shed a few more layers—and with that the dated beliefs that no longer serve your highest and greatest good. The good thing is, you’re ready to face your fears *and* embrace change, irrespective of the form in which it appears. Speaking of change, not everybody is going to be on board your radical ideas, and that’s okay! Stay committed to your vision as you embrace “integrity” as your superpower. When it comes to matters of the heart, you’re being encouraged to get curious about what lights you up as a couple. To engage in activities that spark joy and to pursue common interests (not just over the weekend!) If you’re single, join that Tango class or book club you’ve been thinking about. With Cupid’s gaze on you, you never know who you may cross paths with!

Power crystal: Selenite, to clear past wounds.

Given the past wounds that are resurfacing, it will be easy for you to slip into a pattern of avoiding deep emotions or difficult conversations, especially when things take an intense turn. But, love thrives on vulnerability and open communication. Start by getting real with yourself with what’s really going on within and then communicating the same to your partner. At the same time, tap into your softer side and listen to what they have to say about the given situation. Drastic changes cannot be implemented overnight, but you can take that first step—even if that means seeking professional help. That said, things on the work front could get complicated as you and certain someone refuse to see eye-to-eye. It’s true that ethics are paramount and must not be compromised. However, by being rigid about how things ought to be, you could be closing yourself off to fresh ideas and newer perspectives. As always, focus on bringing flexibility and flow into the equation. You’ll be surprised by what you discover about yourself and the world around you in the process.

Power crystal: Labradorite, to unlock the door to your creative consciousness.

It’s easy, Pisces. It’s easy to shut them out at the first sign of discomfort. You know what takes an insane amount of courage? Talking about the tough stuff. We’re not telling you to stay in a toxic relationship or make things work because you fear disappointing the people around. We’re simply encouraging you to remember why you embarked upon this journey with them as you invite kindness and compassion into the dynamic. Just a reminder: there’s no mountain you cannot climb when you’re walking side by side. That said, challenges are likely to arise on the professional front too. The feeling that you’re stuck in second gear despite your best efforts to push the accelerator. Could there be another way to navigate the obstacle course, though? Contemplate what effortless-effort means to you and how you can practise. Oh, and one more thing! Don’t be afraid to step into the limelight as and when the situation requires you to. You’ve earned your way to the top, beautiful!

Power crystal: Aquamarine, to strengthen your throat chakra.
