LAST UPDATED: JULY 21, 2026 · COVERING AUGUST 2026
The readings: August
Written fresh each month for this town specifically. Two eclipses and a new moon in Leo make August what astrologers call eclipse season, a stretch for endings, beginnings, and dramatic gestures. Here is how it lands, sign by sign.
Aries
The Leo new moon on the 12th lights your courage. Say the bold thing at the cookout; someone useful is listening. By the eclipse moon on the 28th, take one old grudge to the transfer station with the rest of the recycling.
Taurus
Home is the project. The urge to redo the porch is real, so price it out before Virgo season makes you cautious. A neighbor repays an old favor near the 28th, probably with zucchini.
Gemini
Your words carry farther than usual this month, like sound over calm water. Send the message you have been redrafting since July. Small talk at the farmers market turns into an actual plan.
Cancer
The new moon points at your money house: ask for it, list it, invoice it. You are ruled by the Moon, and this month yours gets eclipsed. Let the 28th loosen your grip on one thing you have held too tight.
Leo
Your season, your new moon, and a meteor shower for a birthday sparkler. Make one clean start on the 12th and tell exactly two people about it. The sky is doing enough announcing for both of you.
Virgo
Rest before your season opens on the 22nd. Fog mornings count as self-care and require no explanation. What you quietly fix in August gets loudly appreciated in September.
Libra
Your calendar is crowded, so choose the invitations that end outdoors. A friendship shifts into something steadier around the eclipse. Bring dessert, not opinions.
Scorpio
Career house lit. Someone senior is watching how you handle a small mess, so handle it like a harbormaster. Your own red star Antares hangs over the bay all month, reminding you to burn steady, not hot.
Sagittarius
Wander. A ferry, a rail trail, a town you never bothered with. The meteor peak on the 12th is an archer's sky; make one wish per fireball and mean at least one of them.
Capricorn
Shared matters surface: bills, boats, in-laws. Untangle one knot on paper before the 28th and the rest loosens on its own. An oyster dinner settles more than a meeting would.
Aquarius
The eclipses land across your relationship line, and partnerships of every kind want plain terms this month. Say what you actually want. Watch the moon get swallowed on the 28th and let one arrangement end well.
Pisces
The lunar eclipse on the 28th happens in your sign, the closest thing August has to a personal note. Feelings run like a moon tide: real, strong, and temporary. Swim early, decide late.
