August moves like a tide for you, Pisces. Slow in parts, sweeping in others, and filled with quiet wisdom if you’re paying attention. Neptune—your modern ruler—shows up in almost every week of this month, so you’ll feel tuned in, maybe more than you expect. There’s imagination here, and compassion. But also questions: Are you grounded in your dreams, or drifting inside them?It all kicks off with Venus square Neptune on the 1st. This may spark some emotional confusion around what you want versus what you’re fantasizing about. Love, money, even self-worth might feel distorted. If you’re unsure whether something is real, don’t force an answer. Just wait. What’s meant to stay will steady itself. That’s the gift of Neptune—truths that reveal themselves without being chased.On the 3rd, the Moon trines Neptune, giving you a chance to realign. This is good energy for feeling your way through a decision. Trust your first response, even if it comes in the form of a hunch. Then the 5th brings a square, which may challenge that clarity. But it doesn’t erase it. Noticing the contrast helps you sort what’s real from what’s imagined. Trust that emotional tension doesn’t mean you’ve failed to grow—it’s proof that you’re growing.Mars opposes Neptune on the 9th, and this can feel like trying to take action in a fog. If you’re feeling stuck or uncertain, don’t push. Instead, check your motivation. Are you acting out of purpose or pressure? This moment isn’t a failure to act. It’s a call to pause. There’s insight in the stillness. There’s a reason your intuition wants a minute before you leap.The Moon keeps the conversation with Neptune going all month. A sextile on the 8th, a conjunction on the 12th, and another sextile on the 16th keep you close to your inner world. Make time for solitude around these dates. Not isolation—just intentional space to process what you’re picking up from everyone around you. Your emotional sponge of a soul deserves time to wring itself out.Pisces, in the middle of the month, the Moon squares Neptune again on the 18th. If something feels off, it probably is. Not in a catastrophic way, but in a small signal your body catches before your mind does. Believe yourself. Don’t rationalize away the feeling that something is misaligned just because someone else doesn’t see it.A trine on the 20th can help you settle what the square brought up. You’re starting to notice how your sensitivity is a skill, not a setback. The opposition on the 25th may test that a little. Don’t overreact. This might just be someone else’s energy bouncing off your awareness. But it’s worth noting who throws you off balance and who brings you back to yourself.On the 26th, Venus trines Neptune. This is a lovely moment for connection, for soft honesty, and for remembering what makes something beautiful to you—not to the world, not to your past self, but to the person you are now. If you’re making art, music, or magic, this is your day. Beauty isn’t always loud. Sometimes it shows up in how gently you hold yourself.The 28th brings a sextile between Uranus and Neptune, and it offers a new way of seeing something familiar. It might be a relationship. A dream. A version of yourself you thought you’d outgrown. There’s electricity here, but it doesn’t demand drama. It simply asks you to pay attention. A single moment of realization can ripple out further than a dozen resolutions.The Moon trines Neptune again on the 30th, ending the month with a sense of emotional clarity. You may not have answers to everything. But you have a better sense of how you want to move. That counts. This is your chance to decide what “alignment” means for you, without editing it to fit someone else’s pace or priorities.As the Sun shifts into Virgo on the 22nd, your focus turns to relationships—especially the quiet, daily ones: with your body, your habits, your people. This is an earthy contrast to all the water you’ve been swimming in. Virgo energy wants you to bring intention to your rituals, to clean up the energetic clutter, to clarify your boundaries without guilt. Let that structure support you.The New Moon in Virgo on the 23rd supports a fresh start in how you relate to others and yourself. This is an excellent time to reset your expectations and communicate more clearly—even if what you’re saying is “I need a minute.” Your empathy is a gift, but it works best when it’s directed inward as well.Mercury’s direct motion this month (August 11) helps ease the static you may have been feeling around communication. If words have been getting stuck in your throat or misunderstood by others, the second half of the month offers smoother exchanges. Don’t rush—just know your voice will land with more clarity now.Another notable shift comes with the Mars–Pluto trine on August 10, which can give you access to a deeper well of emotional power. This aspect supports efforts that require endurance, especially those involving personal transformation. If there’s a boundary that needs to be redrawn, or a version of yourself you’re ready to let go of, this is a moment to work from your center—not from reaction.As Neptune continues to interact with the Moon through the end of August, expect little insights to land like raindrops. Not dramatic. Not loud. But steady. Listen for them. Pay attention to your dreams—both the literal and metaphorical ones. Journaling might help. So might music, movement, or any medium that lets you process without having to explain.The final Neptune trine with the Moon acts as your gentle exit ramp. If August has been a mirror, this moment is the reflection you finally recognize. You don’t need to be more grounded, more realistic, or more stable to be valid. You just need to be present. The more you accept your inner tides, the easier it becomes to swim with them.Pisces, let August remind you that flow and structure are not enemies. That being intuitive doesn’t mean you’re lost. That softness is not a liability. Let your dreams have shape. Let your feelings have space. And let your quiet wisdom count for something, even when the world is noisy.Thus concludes your monthly highlights.
