August 2026

 

This month starts the return of the two eclipses (they always come in pairs, every six months) Solar eclipses open the door to something new, and this one will be quite nice for most of us. Fortunately, Jupiter and Mercury make a strong presence orbiting closely with the Sun and the new Moon, and this bodes very well for a happy new beginning in communication during this eclipse.

 The New Moon (total solar eclipse) on August 12th occurs in Leo and the Full Moon (Lunar eclipse) on August 28th is in Pisces. Mercury will go through 3 signs this month, in Cancer until August 9, in Leo until August 25 and then in Virgo. Mars is in Gemini until August 11 and then it will be in Cancer until September 28. From August 8th through September 10, Venus is in Libra.  Jupiter is in Leo until July 26th, 2027. Saturn retrogrades in Aries until December 9. Uranus is direct in Gemini. Pluto retrogrades in Aquarius and Neptune retrogrades in Aries.

We want to clarify our daily and monthly horoscopes are general for all zodiac signs and do not take into account of your personal natal chart.  For a personal reading click here

GEMINI:  Over the next eighteen months, thanks to the eclipses in Leo and Aquarius, you will broaden your horizons.

You might have a lot of travel plans, and you could be interested in learning new things.

You might also be trying to fix any miscommunications and trying to be clearer in how you communicate with other people. If you do any writing for your job, school, or just for fun, that’ll become a bigger focus for you, and you could even get your work published (so get your author bio ready).

 

To stay in the same internet zone – or to remain stuck with the same old web – is not going to work for you in the new Jupiter cycle. Equally, if you have been stuck with the same phone or microphone set-up for a long time, that’s unlikely to last for much longer, too.                              

This cycle is about the jumping-off point between the past and the future and, depending on how hopeful you feel, you’ll either take small hops now or huge leaps.                                                 

A new angle on the old role online, even a new profession (if communication is your game) is the result (sometimes more than once). But there are many possibilities. Jupiter in Leo is with you until mid-2027.

 

With the Sun in Leo until August 23 and Mercury (your ruler) from August 10th - August 25, your third solar house of communication for the next three weeks, turns your attention toward your immediate surroundings and increases your interaction with friends, neighbors, relatives and business associates - the people you deal with every day. 

 

You could make fast friends and existing connections can become richer—but you may have to be the one to make the first move. This is a great month for networking and collaboration. Add a few savvy people to your squad.

​

The beauty of Uranus in Gemini (your own sign) is that even though it sends all the Geminis into shock half the time, it also boots you towards a future which in the long view of your own freedom is the right one. This is about your reputation. Your title. Your physical appearance. About the way you present yourself and place yourself at the forefront, at the very heart of the arena of life. And this reality has been changing since the end of April 2026.                                   

Not every Uranian revolution has to be bloody. Sometimes it can just be bloody amazing. We would have to speculate that your relaunch is connected to A.I. or other innovations and inventions affecting digital or media now.

 

MONEY: From August 12th thru September 28, Mars sail into Cancer heating up your second solar house of work and money. You're motivated to work harder and get your bottom line in tip-top shape.

Of course, necessity might be the mother of your ambitious streak, as stressful Mars can ramp up the pressure on a project. Deadlines may be short while hours get long.

The payoff for going into "hustle" mode? You could put yourself in the running for a plum promotion or bonus. Bring your A-game, and don't back down from healthy competition. Stay the course and focus on your financial goal. This period is ideal for turning your brilliant ideas into hard cash.  

 

LOVE: Venus sails into Libra, from August 7th thru September. This period is all about fun and joy. Venus's influence often brings good things. During this cycle, the planet of passion will also spice up your love life. If you're single, some tension might arise on dates, but at least it will keep things interesting (and provide plenty of conversation at brunch).

Geminis in relationships might be more insistent on strengthening their bond, but be careful not to put pressure on your partner.
