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

 

 

SAGITTARIUS: This New Moon in Leo, accompanied by a solar eclipse on August 12, announces an optimistic period for the months ahead. Things, or people, at a distance will become important or you may travel during this period. This could be either for business or pleasure. In extreme cases, relocation to a distant local (even a foreign country) is possible.          You will be involved in learning something new, perhaps even going back to school.        

Religious matters or beliefs come to mind and you could be invited to at least one ceremony of some type (such as a wedding or christening).                                                                           

Some of you will dedicate yourself to teaching or publishing during this period.

 

With this new Jupiter (your ruler) in Leo, your luck is in with foreigners and foreign places until late July 2027. These may not necessarily have any connection to your own culture, education or background.             

Travelling to other countries or making connections with people from different nationalities or cultural backgrounds to your own might be the key to a new period of growth and expansion for you.

  

In other cases, you might find this wake-up call through export or a Zoom on a different time zone. Every one of these people or places will educate you about what you believe about the future (until late July 2027) and what is possible. You might just ‘happen’ to turn up at a holiday resort which is next door to a major opportunity.

 

Your life is about to change, as the Full Moon “lunar eclipse” on August 28th activates your fourth solar house—the house of home, family, foundations, and the past. You might be thinking about moving, finding new roommates, or investing significantly in your comfort, such as by renovating your home. 

This is a powerful moment for breaking free from the past and putting an end to an unhealthy family pattern or cycle. You might also expand your family, land a dream job that leaves you feeling more supported, or take the next step with a lover.

 

From August 12th to September 28, Mars is in Cancer, your financial Eighth Solar House. You will concentrate intently on setting up a firm financial plan for the future.                                      

You may be taking care of important paperwork: creating or refining your will or estate planning, dealing with an inheritance, or filing for an insurance payout, as some examples.       

You also may find that during this period you will spend more money than usual.                         

You may have put off purchases but now need those items or know you will need to write a large check, such as for tuition, a down payment on a car, or for another financial promise you made earlier.                                                                                                                                         

Depending of your own life and situation at the moment, you'll find one or two areas involving finance become a more urgent priority than others - but they all matter. Mars in your eighth solar house will stir things up and you're going to need everything to manage properly.                                                                                                                                              

In a marriage or love relationship, the two of you may disagree strongly on the management of jointly held resources. Hang a price tag on independence.

 

FRIENDS: From August 7th thru September 10, Venus sails into Libra, your eleventh solar house. It's a good time to have friends over for a party or to go out with a group of friends to have a good time. You will greatly enjoy each other's company and will be much more loving and affectionate towards each other. This benefit is not limited to activities with friends.                   

Any situation in which you are dealing with many people in a group, such as a business conference or organizational meeting, is favored now. Your ego energies are low enough that you can deal pleasantly with others, while still making the necessary compromises.

 

LOVE: Serious Saturn takes its yearly trip in reverse. The retrograde through Aries brings some friction to your fifth solar house of fame and amour until December 13. Enjoy the applause from fans, but don't get hung up counting likes. This isn't the time to let approval ratings distract you from your true goals.     

Saturn's retrograde might also show you where you need a more solid framework in your romantic life. Even the happiest relationships require hard work. Articulate feelings honestly and find common ground instead of firing off ultimatums. Establishing an open line of communication will help you create lasting love.
