August 2022 Capricorn Overview Horoscope
A reflective month is ahead for you Capricorn, so silence those notifications and block off plenty of time to yourself. The Sun is taking its annual plunge through Leo and your eighth house of merging, intimacy and privacy until August 22. Those #LeoSeason messages about living your best life? Sadly, you won’t be able to put play ahead of work right now. For you, this is a time to go into “focus mode.” Reserve your attention and considerable energy for a detailed project or a few close relationships.
Silver lining: One of those big ventures could be full of fun and creativity. On August 1, spicy Mars, changemaker Uranus and the karmic north node make an ultra-rare connection in Taurus and your fifth house of passion, self-expression and fame. Out of the blue, you could start blowing up—and we mean that in every sense.
Your popularity could make a sudden spike, so stay ready for your spotlight moment! Your temper and emotions could also be explosive under this Taurus triad. Avoid triggering people who make you feel jealous or threatened, and keep yourself grounded (easy on the drinks or anything else that can take you out of your center).
You’ll feel this intense energy until at least August 20. After that, Mars will begin an extended trek through Gemini and your sensible, healthy sixth house, staying until March 25, 2023. This seven-month cycle is five times the usual length of Mars’ visit to a sign.
You could get in great shape or tackle a wellness issue that’s been nagging you (persistent Mars here won’t let you ignore your body). Although you like to be in control, prepare to delegate! With Mars in this administrative zone, you’ll need a few extra hands on Team Capricorn to handle it all.
When Virgo season begins on August 22, you’ll be able to see the big picture of everything again. Come out from the cave! As the Sun heats up your zone of travel, growth and entrepreneurship, you’re feeling optimistic again, ready to interact with the wider world. Get back out there and explore the possibilities, Capricorn. Hint: Look far beyond your comfort zone to find them!
It’s getting hot in here: Leo season until August 22
Passion! Intensity! Intrigue! August could unfold like a bodice-ripping beach read as the stars turn up the heat. The Sun is in Leo until August 22, blazing a fiery trail through your eighth house of joint ventures, intimacy and merging. You’re craving more privacy now, perhaps with the sizzling company of a sexy plus-one. An attraction could get downright combustible, turning into an epic summer affair. A business deal could lead to major money; real estate and legal matters could also be in the spotlight. Dull moments? You might secretly wish for a few more.
Passion overload at the August 7 Mars-Saturn square
Good luck taming your passionate side today, while fierce Mars burns bright in Aries and your flamboyant fifth house. But a square from Saturn flips on the warning light. How much are you willing to spend, risk or gamble with here? What you add to your cart—and who you invite into your life—could have far-reaching consequences. Enjoy your attraction to shiny objects and seductive people, but maybe just enjoy a moment instead of taking anything home with you.
The August 11 Aquarius full moon could bring a money breakthrough
Your mind is on stability on August 11 when the year’s only Aquarius full moon plants itself in your second house of work, money and daily routines. The spotlight’s on your budget and routines now, Capricorn. Review your spending and saving. Tweak your plans for the remainder of 2022 and put a few solid habits in place while the temperatures are still warm and you have the motivation. What makes you feel anchored? Simple shifts like going to bed an hour earlier or eating at regular times can make a world of difference.
Ready to change careers or just be more productive? Tap into the Aquarius full moon energy for support. If you’ve been wooing a client or going back and forth with negotiations, today brings a decisive moment.
This year’s Aquarius full moon brings a plot twist, though, forming a tense T-square with the Leo Sun and a volatile Mars-Uranus combo in Taurus and your dramatic fifth house. Expect a lot of intensity, heated emotions and people trying to push your buttons. It will be up to you to stay calm and cool but it won’t be easy!
If you keep banging your head on a glass ceiling, consider this: Maybe you’ve gone as far as you can in this role. Full moons can bring endings, so if it’s quitting time, here’s your exit strategy, Capricorn. If appropriate, you could also introduce the idea of a promotion or a raise—or make a bold request to be switched to a more stimulating project. If you can’t leverage that, perhaps you could get a couple hybrid work-from-home days, if not an entirely remote schedule. That flexibility could be a lifesaver.
Think bigger: Virgo season begins August 22
Freedom becomes even more of a coveted state starting August 22, when the Sun starts its monthlong visit to Virgo and your ninth house of adventure, travel and risk-taking. When the August 27 Virgo new moon arrives, a long-distance opportunity or a chance to take a grand leap of faith could present itself.
You don’t have to give an immediate “yes,” since new moons can take up to six months to fully reveal their gifts. But DO spend some time pondering your purpose and being deeply honest with yourself and others. This outspoken new moon encourages you to get real, even (maybe especially) if it’s uncomfortable. This year’s Virgo season lends you even more of the guts to express yourself and your truth. Take extra care to be diplomatic but direct!
Drama alert: Uranus turns retrograde August 24
Are things getting a little TOO hot to handle? This August 24, unpredictable Uranus begins a five-month retrograde through Taurus and your fifth house of fame, self-expression and love. Dial down the intensity between now and January 22, Capricorn. Disruptor Uranus is in Taurus (https://www.astrostyle.com/uranus-in-taurus) for a long seven-year visit that began in 2019 and will end in 2026. Over the past few years, you may have noticed yourself acting much cheekier and a LOT less camera-shy. Maybe you’ve developed an attraction to a free-spirited type or you just got a lot edgier with the things you say. Your libido may also have woken up from hibernation. Rrowr!
Applause rightly goes to you for breaking out of any Capricorn confines since you tend to hold yourself back in public. (Behind closed doors is another story.) But have you become a bit TOO much of a Sea Goat gone wild? The temptation to rebel is intensified by shock-jock Uranus, and as it tears through this passionate zone of your chart, drama could also ensue. An attraction—or a desire for attention—could be the source of this.
With Uranus retrograde for the rest of the year, an old romance could resurface, but it could also create a bit of chaos—so be careful before you open that door. You might return to a back-burnered creative project or distance yourself from a situation that’s bringing up anger and tempestuous emotions.
