If Gary Vaynerchuk was an astrologer, here is what his August horoscopes might say, and how he might defend sun sign horoscopes:
Astrology is a gateway drug to self-awareness.
People kept saying to me, “Gary, you talk all the time about self-awareness. But how do I get more self-awareness? You never talk about that.”
Self-awareness is wired into my DNA, and I was perfectly parented, so it’s hard for me to reverse engineer and explain it to you. I have tremendous empathy for people that need outside help with gaining more self-awareness.
That’s why I hired a team of astrologers here at VaynerMedia, to help me create astrology content for you, because it’s a great practical tool to help you get more self-awareness. One of those astrologers is also studying my transits that will happen years and decades from now to help me figure out when I can buy the New York Jets. I’m super pumped.
Before I share my August horoscopes with you, I want to address complaints I get in my DMs that say I say the same things all the time in horoscopes.
People want fancy when they aren’t even following the basic advice in my sun sign horoscopes.
Astrology begins and ends with the sun. The end.
I’m all about process. So is the sun.
The sun is like the heart and the planets are like the blood. They circulate to and from the sun. They willingly return to the sun whey they need to refuel. They even move faster when they are near the sun because they are energized by the sun and experience a rebirth. The sun also takes on the qualities of those planets that are under its beams.
At VaynerMedia we have a Chief Heart Officer, so I love how the sun symbolizes the heart. I always want our company culture to reflect this: employees willingly seeking out the heart/sun, without fear, when they need to refuel. And the two-way street effect of the heart/sun taking on the qualities of the employees and their ideas.
Here are my August horoscopes:
My fellow Scorpios, you can crush it at work or your life purpose this month, because of the new moon in your tenth house. Make this the month that finding happiness in what you do every day becomes imperative.
Libras, the new moon is in your 11th house, the place of friends and allies, so you might meet new people. I’m pumped for you. Relationships are leverage. If you give value to someone else first, you have leverage.
Virgos, the new moon is in 12th house of Leo and connects to Uranus in the 9th house. If you’re not careful you could face some dark places. But remember you only get to play this game one time … one life. Gratitude will bring sunshine to your heart even on dark days.
Leos, you have a square to Uranus going on, landing in the first house. Something new is beginning in your life. But have perspective about change. A penguin cannot become a giraffe, so just be the best penguin you can be.
My Cancer friends, the new moon is in your second house of income and expenses. Don’t get distracted with worry about what goes on with money this month, because you are in control of the one asset that we all care the most about and that is time.
Geminis, you’re starting something new in your immediate environment this month because of the square to Uranus in the third house. All your ideas may be solid or even good, but you have to actually EXECUTE on them for them to matter.
Taurus, there’s a new moon in your fourth house, lots of focus on home and family. There’s a square to Uranus in your first house there to remind you that there’s no reason to do s**t you hate. NONE.
Aries, the emphasis in on your fifth house of good fortune, romance, beauty, sports, children. There’s a square to Uranus in your second house of finances. Have fun this month, but stop whining, and start hustling.
Pisces, Venus and the new moon are in a square with Uranus between the sixth and third houses. The sixth house is the in between world that isn’t always fun. This house is about hard work, suffering, sickness. I love the sixth house. That’s because I weirdly love losing more than winning. If you feel stuck in this in between place, when it all comes down to it, nothing trumps execution.
Aquarius, there is a huge focus on your seventh house of marriage and relationships. Venus square to Uranus means relationship issues could pop up. One of the biggest things for you to remember this month is you should always be the bigger person in any situation. Don’t value money over family and happiness.
Capicorns,a big emphasis on your eighth house this month, you might face debts, karma, things you have to face that you’ve been in denial about. Turn it into positivity. Rise to the challenge. Accept that the climb might be the best part of the whole thing.
Sagittarius, Uranus is in your sixth house of Taurus, with a square to the 9th house of religion, spirituality, higher principles, knowledge, wisdom. Sixth is the house of hard work, sickness, strife, service. Like I said before, I love the sixth house. People will want to challenge you and question your ideas, and you should welcome that.
No matter what your sign is, remember: there no longer has to be a difference between who you are and what you do, in August and beyond. Stop complaining and start doing.
