We have a packed event calendar for August. Here is a list of noteworthy astrology and magick events for August.
August 1st — Lammas or Lughnasadh
Lammas, also known as Lughnasadh, is the first of the three harvest festivals in the pagan calendar. It marks the beginning of the harvest season and honors the Celtic god Lugh, the god of light and craftsmanship.
August 2nd — Venus in Leo square Uranus in Taurus
Because of this stressful aspect, some romantic relationships might sizzle out in the August heat. Put your relationships on the back burner and concentrate on other things today since you don't want to cause damage to something that could already be fragile.

Mercury goes retrograde in Virgo
Mercury will only stay retrograde in subdued Virgo for a week, but it might feel like an eternity since we can't help but find fault with everything we accomplish. Before you let perfectionism consume you, take a deep breath.
New moon in Leo
The brilliant new moon inspires us to seize the day and pursue our wildest ambitions. Do not be scared to test your limits; instead, be courageous. If you have faith in your vision, you can make it a reality.
Venus enters Virgo
As Venus moves into the modest sign of the Virgin, we can finally face reality and let go of the carefree summer. We need to take stock of our relationships and money during the next three weeks to figure out what we're taking into the fall and what we're leaving behind.

August 14th — Mercury retrograde enters Leo
As Mercury enters the sign of the Lion, our lives are about to take an unexpected turn. We could lose our tempers and start conflicts more easily in the height of summer. Now is the time to select your battles wisely; bravery and foolishness can be unhappy companions right now.
August 15th — Mars in Gemini square Saturn in Pisces
Because it's easy to start arguments about nothing these days, tempers are running high. Things may get awkward if you don't double-check that you're on the proper track before you get started. Keep in mind that things might not be what they seem to you.
August 18th —
Mercury in Leo square Uranus in Taurus
Because interruptions can interfere with our life, it could be best if you ignore the drama unfolding around you by staying away from social media discussions and away from any high drama situations. Stay out of other people's problems, otherwise you're going to get sucked in and ultimately be the fall guy.
Sun in Leo conjunct Mercury in Leo
The confidence that comes from knowing you are the center of attention today might facilitate some imaginative creativity. Today is perfect for sharing something artistic, publishing on social media, or simply embracing life to the fullest.

Sun in Leo square Uranus in Taurus
Today, we risk being isolated in our pursuit of freedom. You may come to regret abandoning those who helped you along the way to independence if you persist.
August 22th —

As we are nearing towards the end of summer, we're practically relieved that the limelight is fading away and that we can return to our regular lives. Assuming we maintain our composure, the energies during the following four weeks will be reasonable, structured, and moderate.
Venus in Virgo square Mars in Gemini
Today is not a good day for relationships since arguments may break even the strongest bonds. When tempers flare, people are quick to misinterpret situations and pick conflicts. Before you speak, it's a good idea to step away from the problem, breathe deeply, and wait for the waters to calm before trying to work things out.
August 23th — Mercury in Leo sextile Mars in Gemini
You may hone your mental reflexes in this area by practicing creative problem-solving and brainstorming. Get creative and don't be scared to look at things in a different perspective than usual.

Life is returning to normal as we regain perspective following the tumultuous mercury retrograde. This retrograde may bring a sense of humility, but it is also an opportunity to gain the self-assurance you need to tackle any challenge that comes your way. Show courage and be bold!
Venus in Virgo opposition Neptune in Pisces
We might feel we are emotionally all over the place today and unable to see the answers to our questions. Being judgmental of our loved ones because their flaws are heightened and highlighted today might cause some tension. Try not to over think or become nit-picky today.
August 29th —
Venus enters Libra
With Venus's entry into Libra, the sign of relationships (which is ruled by Venus and feeling very happy right about now), we bid farewell to summer and prepare to fall head over heels for love. As we fantasize about our lives over the following four weeks, our relationships soften and become more balanced. These next 4 weeks are the perfect time to do love intentions, work, and spells.
Venus in Libra trine Pluto in Aquarius
Since you'll sense instant connections to complete strangers, this powerful component will bring you karmic relationships. People you were close to in a romantic nature in a past life might pop up out of the blue. Keep your wits about you; this is perfect for romantics who can't help but fall in love.
