Virgo: August 2024 Monthly Love Horoscope

Your lead planet Mercury starts another retrograde journey in your sign on August 4. You’ll feel the effects of this mishap-heavy time more than most, which could completely throw off your romantic game. For the next few weeks, have a backup plan for your backup plan to make sure dates and other hot meetups don’t go south.

On the seventh, Mercury and Venus join forces in your powerful first house, giving you permission to communicate your needs and desires without embarrassment or guilt. Why shouldn’t you get what you want, Virgo? You’re typically a very giving, selfless lover and partner, but now it’s your turn.

On August 22, the sun also enters your perfectionist sign, amping up your expectations. You have very high standards now, and anyone you’re with needs to live up to them. Can you see where being overly critical could be a big turnoff?! Be sure to give at least as many compliments as you do constructive criticisms.

Mercury finally goes direct while in Leo on the twenty-eighth, which helps you start to clear up any communication issues from the past few weeks. You can’t take back anything you said, but you can explain yourself a little better, hopefully. Be confident when expressing your feelings, and above all, be honest. No one wants to hear your BS, tbh!
