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​​

 

 

​​SCORPIO:  Jupiter in Leo and your success zone is worth planning for. It describes the process of building something valuable. This is why it’s so often associated with awards, number one hits, promotion, achievement, status and success. This new cycle means you will have a rare opportunity to learn from the example of successful visionaries – or you may become something of a successful visionary yourself. It runs to late July, 2027.                                                                          This also applies to academia or unpaid work. It should all work out very nicely. It can be an instructive time if everyone gets it right, and opportunities and solutions for success, which emerge then – will educate you and open your eyes. Aim very high as the top job could be yours, next.

 

On August 12th this Leo New Moon “solar eclipse” meet with Jupiter and Mercury this month. For working people, matters involving the career come to the fore. Sometimes there is so much happening at the office, or you are spending so much time at work, overtime, etc., that there seems to be little energy left for other interests.             

People may be in the process of changing jobs during the six months following this eclipse. Whether employed or not, you will attract attention in some way. Don’t plan on keeping a ‘low profile’ during this time.                        

If involved in groups or organizations of any sort, you may run for an office or you may receive an award of some kind. Publicity, attention and recognition are the key words here.

 

Saturn's backward journey until December 10, may force you to create savvier systems at work. In addition to pleasing the powers that be, hold any support staff accountable so you don't get shafted with their duties. Stay strong and channel your frustrations into those workouts!

This retrograde motion also affects your health and wellness sector until December 10th. Vary your workouts with online classes and outdoor hikes. Adopt a healthier diet and prioritize plant-based foods.

 

On August 12, Mars enters Cancer, your solar ninth house, and will stay there until September 28. During this period, you will devote yourself to more creative intellectual work than usual. You will assert and defend the beliefs and ideas that you consider true and important wherever necessary.                                                                                               

Obviously, this is valuable if you have to influence other people and make an impression on them, but it can also be a danger if you try to beat people over the head with your opinions and ideas. What you can do now is put all of your energy into expanding your mind. Look for experiences that will open up new dimensions of reality.

​

LOVE: The Pisces Full Moon (lunar eclipse) on August 28th occurs in your fifth solar house, the house of pleasure, joy, love, and creativity. For the next four weeks following this eclipse, this energy will help you connect with the present moment and cultivate gratitude for the life you've built.

If you’re dating, you’re either ready to move in with a new boo, or to emotionally detach from someone who isn’t meeting your standards and needs. In any case, the sky is passionate and lively: You may be attending an exciting event, celebrating lucky news, or making great headway on a creative hobby or project.

 

From August 7th thru September 10, Venus sails in Libra, your 12th solar house of completions. For some Scorpios, you may have to help or take care of someone close to you and you will not get any immediate gratification other than the pleasure of helping someone you love.                                                 

Quite commonly in this Venus cycle in your twelve solar house, you will find yourself alone. There could be any number of reasons for a period of solitude.                                                       

Some people go on a sabbatical, others find themselves hibernating while their partners travel, or even find themselves hiding from the world. If you are by yourself then right now, your primary relationship will be yourself.

​

If you're single, a soulmate connection could spark during this cycle. If you're already attached, you might feel like you're finally living happily ever after—especially as the love planet reigns in your fantasy sector. If an old flame resurfaces now, address any unresolved issues so you can finally move on. On September 11th, when Venus glides into Scorpio and gives you the romantic factor, you'll be glad you buried the hatchet!
