Hello Sweethearts, and welcome to the horoscope reading for your Cancer man for August. Now for many people around the world, this is the holiday season and a time we associate with fun, being laid back, and enjoying ourselves.
But this particular August—and it’s not a big “but” because there’s plenty of positive energy—Mercury is retrograde in Virgo. That means there is a note of caution when it comes to planning and communications because, during this phase, there can be difficulties in travel, wires tend to get crossed, and there can be periods of stalemate and frustration.
Now, the other big feature of this month is Mars will be conjunct Jupiter on the 15th, which brings a vibrant, exciting energy and a particularly adventurous, playful spirit.
This is perfect for the August holidays or, even if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere and you aren’t on holiday, a great time to be motivated, proactive, and particularly to be outdoors.
So for you and your Cancer man, it’s a time to think about how to boost your energy through positive activities, particularly those involving being physically active and finding adrenaline-pumping activities to do that are a little bit adventurous.
Even though Mercury is retrograde and you have to look before you leap and do a little bit of planning, if you have the presence of mind, there’s still definitely a flavor of adventure and excitement and also romance because the month ends with Venus opposite Neptune and then Venus entering Libra, the planet of love.
So the month goes out on a particularly romantic note, which is quite something to look forward to.
Here’s what the stars have in store for a Cancer Man this August…
New Moon in Leo on the 4th of August
This New Moon is a cue to deepen relationships. It’s not all about words; it’s about showing affection and tenderness. Cancer is a guy who needs quite a lot of physical reassurance. He needs to feel your closeness; he wants to understand that you have compassion for him. So you must show him your caring and nurturing traits.
Now, this is not as good a time for brand-new relationships because, unless you’ve been friends for a long time, he’s unlikely right now to want to jump into a brand-new relationship with someone totally new.
However, if you have already been friends with benefits and you’re on his radar as a good friend, that could now morph into a more caring style of emotional relationship, but it’s a question mark over whether it will become a full-blown sexual relationship.
In marriage, it’s all about trust and commitment. He can easily become jealous and triggered, so make sure that you are a stable partner who acts in a consistent way and keeps up with your relationship rituals as that’s really important right now.
Mercury goes retrograde in Virgo on the 5th of August
This particular retrograde can mean that any travel plans are somewhat disrupted or don’t go as anticipated. So the key phrase for this retrograde is “always have a plan B.” I know this is not too hard because, as a rule, a Cancer man likes to think ahead, but it’s always important to check and double-check.
It’s not the best time for signing any contracts, whether it’s a prenup or signing for a mortgage. It’s a time to check and make sure you understand fully what you’re getting into.
This may be a difficult time for online relationships; the Mercury retrograde can cause all sorts of misconceptions, and generally, it’s far better to communicate face-to-face.
So the key advice now is, if you have anything important to discuss, do it face-to-face, don’t do it over text or Skype, meet face-to-face, and then you’ll have a better result.
Venus enters Virgo on the 6th of August
Now, this particular transit emphasizes the importance of love letters and words. Cancer is a man who tends to be stimulated by sentimentality, and therefore exchanging poems, songs, and books of a romantic nature can be a great way to show care and feeling.
Some gifting can also be important, and treating each other to special date nights or days out is also helpful. Thoughtfulness absolutely matters, so if you put a little bit of extra planning into the creative and imaginative side of dates, that’s awesome.
Now, it’s a good time to just rejuvenate your romantic life by being kind and diplomatic. It’s certainly not a time for harsh words, attempting to debate, or entering into contentious issues that cause arguments. It’s all about building strength through focusing on core areas of understanding before you venture into trickier areas.
Mars conjunct Jupiter in Gemini on the 15th of August
Now, this can represent a stroke of luck for a Cancer man. He may get a sudden opportunity in his career; alternatively, there may be an opportunity for him to promote himself or get more publicity. So it’s vital for you to support him in terms of any work, functions, or engagements that he has.
Sometimes what you need to do with a Cancer man right now is work hard at the practical elements of your life, and that could include work-life balance and just generally being more organized. So help him lay the foundations for a better relationship by making sure the little things run well.
You know they say, “Look after the pennies, and the pounds will look after themselves.” Well, sometimes in relationships right now, if you take care of the details, the bigger issues are going to be less of a stumbling block.
Mercury re-enters Leo on the 16th of the August
Now, this particular transit means you may have to review recent financial decisions or simply assess your level of financial organization. Sometimes money and surprises to do with money crop up as Mercury squares Uranus as it goes into Leo.
It’s very important for you guys to be a bit private about your finances. Don’t lend to friends and don’t get involved in what friends are doing. It’s vital that you follow your own advice or instincts, with perhaps professional advice to get it right.
It’s also important at the moment to be cautious of friends interfering, both financially and emotionally, in your relationship. This is a time when you need to run a tight ship, be private as a couple, and deal with your problems in-house.
Themes for a Cancer Man this August 2024
Now, what is important this month is trust, cooperation, and also dealing with the practicalities of your life. You really need to keep your eye on the ball when it comes to work-life balance, money matters, and helping him to ensure that he takes advantage of any good career opportunities.
It’s also a time when you need to look after each other, nurture each other, and focus on the relationship. So the relationship should be front and center, and you should always be mindful of the impact each other’s words and actions have on each other.
Be diplomatic and be kind, and steer away from debating contentious issues, particularly if they’re not very important.

This waxing phase is a good time for a brand new start in any particular venture. This new moon period can be a good time to get married or engaged so if you have your nuptials all sorted, then congratulations.
It’s also a great time for new relationship milestones, and for reconsidering your future, and marriage counseling can also be successful if that’s an avenue you want to try.

August 2024 Horoscope for a Cancer Man
Week 1: What are your priorities?
Venus in Leo square Uranus in Taurus indicates a period when there needs to be some consolidation and also setting of priorities in terms of your relationship. There can be many factors—both social, friendship circle, and work—that are competing with your relationship, and sometimes it’s important to get back to basics and to focus on what’s most important.
Couples who don’t know how to prioritize each other and who are prone to distractions and running on tangents will do less well in love. So give each other your attention, and understand that if the relationship is a priority, treat it as a priority.
Week 2: Words get in the way
With the Sun in Leo sextile Jupiter in Gemini and Mercury conjunct Venus in Virgo, what’s important in terms of improving your relationship with a Cancer man, particularly if it’s a new relationship, is better communication with an emphasis on humor and being philosophical.
Sometimes with relationships, it’s easy to get tied up in knots trying to understand the emotional things, but to the extent that you can just take a step back and say, “Let’s relax, chill, enjoy the moment, and let’s try and understand things intuitively,” you will do well.
Now, Cancer is a sign that navigates intuitively, and he will certainly appreciate that you understand that sometimes there are things that cannot be put into words, and that often it’s better to communicate by being silent or communicating through music or exchanging memes and pictures and just being more creative rather than letting words get in the way.
Week 3: Spiritual Love Revolution
This week there is a major square: Jupiter in Gemini will be square Saturn in Pisces. Now, for a Cancer man, this puts the emphasis on the spiritual side of the relationship. So, do you guys feel that you are soulmates? Is there a real connection at a deep level that makes your lives both meaningful?
With a Cancer man, if you’re in a relationship where things are fairly superficial, just ticking boxes, or maybe there’s a little bit of intimacy, the question now is, do you guys feel that there is a true purpose and destiny connected to your relationship? Because if there isn’t, this is a time when a Cancer man can perhaps lose interest.
However, the positive is, even in very difficult relationships or if you’re on a break, if you guys understand that this relationship is meant to be and you have that spiritual connection, it can survive whatever.
Week 4: Love Tempest
Venus in Virgo is opposite Neptune and then Venus goes into Libra this week. So what does that mean for Cancer Man? Well, he can be a little bit sensitive and touchy. So while romance is definitely on the cards, it can also be a time when things can easily become a little bit tempestuous in love.

So fulfill promises and take any of his latest quirks or needs seriously. It’s certainly a time when you don’t want to let him down in any way because he might just make too much of it.
Summary
This is a really good month for greater emotional depth and understanding the spiritual context of your relationship. It isn’t a time to be superficial and just seek enjoyment for enjoyment’s sake. Relationships require a somewhat serious amount of focus and diligence.
