August 2026
August should be a fantastic month for love with Jupiter, the Sun, and Mercury all in your zodiac sign. Jupiter gives you luck and a desire to expand your world. The Sun will shine the spotlight on you, so you can expect to be popular this month. Mercury will increase your inquisitiveness and desire to socialize.
The solar eclipse falls in your sign on August 12th. If you have been trying to dim down your own light for some reason, this will change and you will settle for nothing less than your authentic self. Your identity and your appearance will be important at this time, and since Leo rules the 5th house of the chart, love will be in the air. Or if you are single, you will experience a newfound desire to meet someone special.
Venus enters Libra on August 6th, and this is a sign that you are highly compatible with. As Venus transits your 3rd house, you will feel more social and happier with your day-to-day life. This is the house of communication, which becomes very important at this time. You may travel around town more. If you are single, you could meet someone who lives near you. Venus is happy in Libra, and this is typically a pleasant and peaceful interlude in relationships.
Mars leaves Gemini for Cancer on August 12th. Cancer is all about our emotions, so get ready to feel deeper if you have a love interest. But don’t let Mars' transit through your 12th house create unnecessary difficulties. The 12th house rules isolation, and sometimes old baggage can come up from the past. Channel this energy into your home, feelings, and family, and you should be fine. Mars in this sign will also cause you to be more focused on stability in a relationship.
The second eclipse of the month, a lunar eclipse, falls in Pisces, or your 8th house. This is the house that rules money, transformation, shared resources, intimacy, and the way we feel in a partnership. Your love life could become very intense at this time, and it could mark some profound changes.
The planets are demanding that you drop the mask and ego and be your true self. You address imbalances in your relationship by the end of the month, or hidden truths could come to light.
