Astrology Forecast for August 2024

The astrology forecast for August 2024, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock.

We spend the first hour of the show discussing recent news and events surrounding the Mars-Uranus conjunction over the past few weeks, and then in the second hour we jump into looking at the astrology of August.

The first part of the month is dominated by Mercury going retrograde in Virgo and Leo, and then in the second week Mars moves into a tens conjunction with Jupiter as well as a square with Saturn.

The biggest outer planet alignment of the month is Jupiter squaring Saturn in the third week, and around that time Venus in Virgo swings in to square Mars and Jupiter and then oppose Saturn.

By the end of the month Mercury finishes its retrograde period and stations direct, while Venus departs from Virgo and moves into its home sign of Libra.

I totally forgot to mention the election this month! The best date/chart is August 31, at 9:00 AM local time, with Libra rising. I'll probably record a short video to talk about the chart soon. That is the best day because it is after the Mercury retrograde and other tense alignments, but if you're looking for other auspicious dates earlier in the month then check out our Electional Astrology Podcast that we just released with a bunch if charts for August through our page on Patreon.

Chris, love this podcast and have been listening for years. This is the only astrology space where I hear astrological political content that is objective and not filled with personal idealogies. I appreciate that. Thank you.

[aquastar]

There were most definitely a ton of “told ya so” moments. This is why I watch astrology forecasts like what you produce here - preparation & anticipation. Thanks, guys!!

[Gracundrprssure]

This podcast continues to elevate the substance and consistency of the Astrological forecasts that you do. Chris you and Austin are so succinct and articulate. The overview of the prior month is fascinating to watch each month. The way you review and define your perspectives is always complementary vs defensive, shows your professionalism and trust of one another’s abilities and perspective.

The 1968 references are pretty horrifying and I imagine accurate.

Thank you for the time and energy you both put into your work, it shows and it matters. Much much gratitude and respect.

[gracielavazquez]

This Astrology channel is outstanding, I love it! They're both excellent astrologers! Good Job, thank you!!👍🙏❤😍

[EvieBella-vuix]

You guys are on fire! I feel like this is a pivotal time for the world AND for astrology. When the predictions are this in sync how can we look away

When you think June was a crazy month, July comes along with 'hold my beer'

[KodeStreet]

I never heard of Agol until Austin mentioned it on the July episode. I looked into it and found that Agol has been sitting directly on my natal Mars in ♉️ my entire life❗️🤦🏾‍♂️

[faustus]

After listening to y'all talk about Mars\Uranus\Algol last time, when I first heard the news about the dt assassination attempt, my first thought was, there it is."

[susanfabian]

I am interested in astrology but have no expertise. I told a friend in June that it felt like it was like 1968! I was 10 years old at the time but remember all the violence, assassinations, and conventions that year. Thanks for the confirmation via astrology. 🙏❤️💐

Hi Chris, 2:05:06 I’d like to add, 10/02/1968, Mexico City, 400+ unarmed students were killed by Mexican government troops during a protest. Hundreds were wounded and arrested.

[teresa]

Thank you, both, very much for walking us through the recent events with your astrological lens.
The work and time you devote to your monthly review and forecast is of such great value to all of us out here watching and listening.

[fargusseaworthy]

Austin is really in father mode, complete with 'how's he doing' at the beginning. We can see you're working really hard. Ganbatte

[Orionscollar]

Your monthly forecast helps to better understand how to approach the month for more positive outcome. I so appreciate your monthly forecast show!!

[MissJoy]

Yay! I've been looking forward to this!
I'm impressed that you were able to limit it to 2 and a half hours given what July was alone lol

[SamanthaSAL]

I appreciate this consistently genius union of knowledge that gets awakened in you both when start to discuss themes, it seems to be what enlightens me the most about these forecasts. I am going through Chris’ course right now and I am excited to enroll in Austin’s course when it opens. I have so much appreciation and love for what you do, I am truly excited to be learning astrology from hilariously spot on masters of their crafts.
