During the summer, vacation plans tend to involve the water. Maybe you're headed to a Caribbean beach, or to chase waterfalls in a state park. Perhaps you are dusting off your water sports skills for afternoons on the boat, in a kayak, or balancing atop a paddleboard. Or maybe you're just taking photos close to the shore and don't want to worry about your phone falling in or getting splashed by a wave. Wherever you go, if you're bringing your cell along, you'd be wise to invest in a waterproof phone pouch.
Your August 2024 Horoscope: Travel Mishaps Are Likely This Month

Meet your astrologer
Steph Koyfman is a writer and astrologer best known for her work as Lady Cazimi. She writes the monthly horoscope for Condé Nast Traveler's Women Who Travel.
In good news, your August 2024 horoscope has arrived. But if you were banking on a calm, collected, and emotionally well-regulated end to your summer, the astrology begs to differ. If anything, August is when things start to unravel a little. Mayhem in the mutable signs will contribute to a scattered, unfocused mood that is possibly the result of taking on too much during the more enthusiastic parts of early summer: Mercury begins its retrograde in Virgo on August 4, and a T-square between Venus in Virgo, Mars and Jupiter in Gemini, and Saturn in Pisces looks like a recipe for “doing everything except taking pleasure in the process.”
This may be a month that reminds us that there is no such thing as truly taking a vacation from the demands of life, or escaping a world in crisis. Climate emergencies have become somewhat of a yearly recurrence at the peak of summer, and this month’s astrology lends itself to experiencing up close the disrepair and dysfunction that can come with environmental chaos, overtourism, and inflation. Though this is a less than ideal month to visit places known for heavy crowds, the moment is also ripe for internal breakthroughs and the flexibility required to change your mind. Perhaps this might look like changing your consumption habits after seeing their impact, or deciding to avoid traveling to places where infrastructure is already overburdened. It could also merely look like seeing where things have become unsustainable in your own life, and evolving accordingly.
If all you can do this month is focus on keeping your own boat afloat, the good news is that things start to ease up at the end of August. The stressful stuff peaks between August 14 and 22, a time that may find us trying to juggle too many balls while the stage lighting malfunctions (or, more literally, dealing with some sort of transit chaos). Some relief arrives at the end of the month as Mercury stations direct on August 28 and Venus enters Libra the next day, which paves the way for repair and connection again (and brings the Bad Mood of Venus in Virgo to a close).
Astrologer's note: Below we refer to your signs as “rising” signs, also known as your ascendant sign. Horoscopes are more accurate when read this way—using your birth time and location, you can quickly find your rising sign online (it takes less than 30 seconds).
For better or for worse, you will probably get a lot done this month, but at what cost? Demands on your time are demands on your sanity, especially right now. The good news is that as you scramble to meet your
