Cancer: August 2024 Monthly Love Horoscope

You get an emotionally charged start to the month as a new moon in dramatic Leo on August 4 encourages you to be loud with your feelings. If someone is asking you to hide how you feel, what are they afraid of? Or more to the point, what are they hiding? Love should be out and proud during this exciting lunation.

On the fourteenth, quick-thinking Mercury is already spinning backward as it meets up with royal Leo, potentially causing embarrassing miscommunications or awkward misunderstandings. Some drama from a while ago might also come back around to haunt you now, Cancer, so be ready to deal with the ghosts of your past.

Another lunation, this time a full moon in open-minded Aquarius on August 19, illuminates the boring parts of your current romantic situation. Are you being real with yourself and your SO or a potential lover or partner about your desire to do things differently? There’s nothing wrong with wanting to experiment and be a little weird!

Luckily, the sun’s entrance into earth sign Virgo on the twenty-second brings a more methodical, systematic approach to love. Details are important now, and you’re much more in tune with facts than feelings. Try not to dwell on things that don’t really matter. Overthinking during this analytical transit can give you a headache.
