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

VIRGO:  The “New Moon” on August 12 also a solar eclipse, illuminates your twelfth house of surrender. Ready or not, you must release something that is no longer serving you.                     

This could be a toxic relationship, a harmful habit, even a belief or fear that limits you. Fortunately, this is a new moon, meaning it's merely the beginning of a six-month cycle that culminates with the Leo full moon (lunar eclipse) on January 22, 2027.                                                  

It might take until then to mourn the loss, forgive people or fully release the emotions accompanying this situation. Be gentle with your feelings but firm in your resolve to break the pattern.

 

From now until late July 2027, Jupiter is in your 12th your house of our subconscious mind. This is a very healing period. You can use this time to integrate all of the experiences good or bad that you’ve had in the past. 

This is a great time to start a meditation practice to let go of any unwanted gunk that has built up in your psyche. Restorative Yoga or Tai Chi would also be good choices to help cleanse the energetic body.                         

Jupiter can bring you the positive energy needed to work on your relationship with self-love and help you adopt new healthy habits. You can also focus on previously overlooked health issues that need addressing.

 

Love, friendship, and family are top of mind for you. The Full Moon in Pisces on August 28th "lunar eclipse" activates your seventh solar house of partnership and one-on-one connections.  

If you’re single, you may feel ready to take a leap of faith and enter a new relationship, and if you’re coupled, you may be renegotiating the foundations of your union.

You may also experience some changes in all your relationships may also be unfolding—maybe an ongoing family feud resolves, or you’re realizing a close friend doesn’t actually have your best interests at heart. Using your discernment over the next few weeks is key to recognize which connections feel fulfilling and which ones you may have outgrown.

 

Work/Money: From August 7th, Venus sails into Libra thru September 10, your second solar house. You are able to attract just what you need...money to buy what you value, or gifts of things that you need.

Someone close to you may support you financially while you follow your heart's desire. Your values around money and possessions may be changing and if you have less than usual you don’t mind (unless other chart factors add stress.)

You trust that you have enough resources and are happy to spend less as you have gained something that boosts your self-esteem, or have more time to do what you love. During this period, you can balance your budget and still spend on pleasurable things.

 

From August 12th thru September 28, go-getter Mars tears through Cancer, heating up your eleventh house of teamwork and technology. Join forces with some fellow firebrands and you might just take over the world or at least, your corner of it.

Making connections, both virtual and IRL, comes with total ease for you now. The one tricky part? You're a natural leader who likes to call the shots, but Mars in this democratic zone demands consensus, which could be stressful—especially if someone is slowing down the process. You want results, and you want them now!

 

Make sure everyone has clearly defined roles so you don't get mired in red tape or derailing disagreements. If tension brews with a friend, you may just need to have a heart-to-heart, holding nothing back.

 

And don’t forget that Uranus has just entered your Tenth Solar House. Progress is guaranteed when Uranus moves through your success, ambition and status chart, as life will continually shift and change around you, creating the kind of forward momentum that makes it impossible for you to remain stuck where you are. 

This planet forces you to keep moving, usually because of larger global trends or major social changes which are happening around you. Use it!
