Pisces, August is a powerful month for healing, letting go, and getting real about what (and who) actually supports your heart. You’re naturally emotional, creative, and intuitive—but sometimes you get caught up in other people’s energy and forget to check in with your own. This month reminds you that your feelings are valid, your dreams are important, and your peace is worth protecting—even if it means saying goodbye to things that no longer fit.
Job, Goals & Money
Even if school/business hasn’t started yet, your mind is already preparing. You’re thinking about what kind of person you want to be this year. And honestly? You’re craving a fresh start, not just on paper but in your soul.
With Mercury retrograde starting August 7, you might feel a little distracted or scattered. It’s easy to forget assignments, mix up plans, or second-guess yourself. Don’t beat yourself up. Use this time to:
- Review your goals
- Fix something that wasn’t working before
- Clear out any toxic habits or people that throw you off
The New Moon on August 4 lands in your wellness and habits zone. It’s perfect for starting healthier routines (even small ones), organizing your space, or finally getting a better sleep schedule.
Money-wise, you may want to spend on things that feel comforting—books, music, clothes, crystals, snacks. That’s okay, just set a limit so you’re not broke by the end of the month.
Pisces tip: You don’t need to do everything perfectly. Just stay connected to your “why,” and the rest will fall into place.
❤️ Love, Crushes & Friends
Let’s talk about your heart, Pisces. It’s big, soft, and loyal—but sometimes it gets tangled up in confusing or one-sided situations. This month is a little intense in the love department, but it’s bringing clarity.
If you’ve been into someone who’s giving mixed signals, you might finally realize what they’re really about by the Full Moon on August 19. That could mean a deep conversation… or a clean break. Either way, it’s better than staying confused.
If you’re already in a relationship, things could get emotional mid-month. You may feel like you’re not being heard or fully seen. Speak up gently—but clearly.
And in friendships? You’re learning that being “there for everyone” doesn’t mean ignoring your own needs. You’ll start noticing who actually checks on you the way you check on them.
Real talk: Love should feel like peace, not pressure. Don’t shrink to keep someone close.
Mood & Mental Health
Your mood this month is like a wave: sometimes calm, sometimes intense—but always honest. And that’s a good thing.
You may feel:
- Extra sensitive to what people say (even if they didn’t mean to hurt you)
- More nostalgic or emotional than usual
- Tired from “feeling everything” all the time
But here’s the deal: your sensitivity is not a weakness. It’s your built-in radar for what’s real and what’s fake.
Instead of pushing your feelings down, give yourself space to process them. Journal. Cry. Paint. Take a long walk. Vent in your Notes app. Let it out. You’ll feel way better afterward.
Mood mantra: I honor my feelings without letting them take over.
Home, Family & Personal Life
Your home environment affects you a lot right now. If things feel loud, chaotic, or emotionally messy, you might start feeling drained—even if no one says anything outright.
This month is a good time to:
- Clean your room (for real, not just toss stuff under the bed)
- Create a cozy, safe space you can go to when everything feels too loud
- Speak up about your needs, especially if family stuff is getting stressful
If you’ve been holding in feelings around family or personal stuff, Mercury retrograde might stir that up. Be honest, but stay calm. You don’t have to start drama—but you do deserve to be heard.
Pisces tip: When your outer world feels peaceful, your inner world gets clearer too.
Health, Energy & Self-Care
Your energy this month is sensitive but strong. You just need the right routines to keep it flowing. The New Moon on August 4 is the perfect time to start a new habit—even something super simple like:
- Drinking more water
- Getting off your phone 30 minutes before bed
- Going outside for 10 minutes a day
Also, don’t ignore physical signs of emotional stress. Headaches, tiredness, bad sleep, or stomach issues can all be linked to anxiety or burnout. Listen to your body. It’s always trying to tell you something.
And remember: saying “no” to something that drains you is a form of self-care too.
✨ Health truth: You don’t have to “fix” yourself—you just need to take care of yourself with love.
