Month of August
Aries
Welcome to a month where there is a mix of the expected and the unexpected. The expected is that the Sun's return to your work sector on 23rd August is the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto your work situation and job matters, always has and always will. The unexpected is to find Venus not only already in your work sector but getting ready to leave on 7th August.
Last year Venus didn't even return until September, but she has not only returned ahead of the Sun, but in time to catch the South Node's final weeks in your work sector before leaving at the end of last month.
This has allowed you to draw on and capture the knowledge this has left you with while at the same time, with the lunar nodes gone, benefiting from no longer having their 18 month policing of how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off. When the South Node left your work sector, the North Node also left a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart and after decades no planets there until early next year, with no more roadblocks.
While there will be a gap from Venus' departure on 7th August and the Sun's return on 23rd August, the Moon will not only move through your work sector from 13th August to 15th August, but there will be other unexpected developments.
On 12th August, five days after Venus leaves your work sector and having left at the end of March the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment will retrograde back into your career sector. Until leaving again in late October, Juno is returning with a chance to revisit your professional resolutions, just as new doors are opening on the job front.
The Moon will not only return for its first visit since Juno's return from 23rd August to 25th August but will spend its early hours at a friendly aspect to the Sun, who will return to your work sector on 23rd August as well.
Taurus
As you move into the new month, you will still be unpacking the major developments on the career front at the end of last month. It began when, two days before the Moon returned to your career sector as a Full Moon, the North Node returned for the first time in 17 years. While Pluto and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment are both in retrograde motion in your career sector, the North Node's focus is always on the future and until leaving in March 2028, it will maintain a steady and constant sense of professional direction.
With the Moon and the North Node returning within 48 hours of each other and as it has only just left by the time you move into the new month, this was a whirlwind end to the month.
As it wasn't just the North Node's return to your career sector, but its partner the South Node's return to your home and family sector, where things are also powering up, this was the start of the lunar nodes' 20 month policing of your work/life balance. This is something that will work to your advantage, for while Juno will retrograde back out of your career sector on 12th August, Pluto is here until 2044 and he has already formed a partnership with Uranus, who is in your income sector for the next seven years.
While Pluto and the North Node are here for the long haul, on 7th August, over six weeks before the Sun returns each year to turn the solar spotlight onto your work situation and job matters, Venus will return to your work sector.
Normally here for just 24 days, by the time she leaves next month she will have been here for five weeks and will be slowing ahead of a retrograde turn that will bring her back again in October, not to leave again until September. With things remaining powered up on the income, work and career fronts for the rest of the year, having some work/life balance guardrails will work to your advantage.
Meanwhile, by the time the Moon returns to your work sector from 16th August to 18th August and to your career sector from 25th August to 27th August, things will be ripe with potential across the income, work and career fronts.
Gemini
With the North Node gone from your career sector and Venus not returning to your work sector to begin the first planetary activity on the job front this year until next month, this is a quiet month as far as cosmic activity goes, but with a valuable chance to regroup. While there have been no planets in your career sector since April, before the North Node left at the end of last month, it hadn't just been here, providing a sense of professional direction for the last 18 months. The North Node was here for the last 12 months of Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams' 13 year transit through your career sector and of Saturn's three year visit.
As you move into the new month, the Moon has only just returned to your career sector and having returned to your career sector and having returned just five days after the North Node left, with a chance to hold onto and to lock onto and its sense of direction and purpose. Meanwhile, there could be some flashbacks when the Moon comes full circle and returns again from 28th August to 30th August. As a throwback from the North Node's time here and because it hasn't yet moved out of range, this will turn the Full Moon here on 28th August into a lunar eclipse.
By then Mars and the dwarf planet Ceres will be in your income sector and ready to hitch a ride on anything this might trigger. This and the Moon's return to your work sector from 18th August to 20th August will be the last before Venus returns on 10th September to begin the first planetary activity on the job front this year. Not only will this be much earlier in the year than is normally the case, but a retrograde turn is going to see her spend a good chunk of the rest of the year here.
This makes this a month where the Moon's return to your two professional houses is going to be the most important points of the month, but where there is a chance to regroup before things take a busier turn next month.
Cancer
While over the course of July all three planets in your career sector turned retrograde, it is not that they are stepping down and instead, stepping back. These are planets that apart from Saturn, who is only here until April 2028, will be here for decades and will be the backbone that everything else will be built around. Whether it is Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams who only returned in January to spend the next 13 years here or the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos, who has been here for over nine decades, they are now a well established team.
By the time you move into the new month as Saturn, the last to turn retrograde, has been in retrograde motion for less than a week and Eris for just 10 days, they are also barely moving. By the time the Moon moves through your career sector from 3rd August to 5th August, all three planets will be in retrograde motion but at a near standstill, with a chance to check in and get your bearings. As the Moon moves through, it will form a friendly aspect to the Sun and Jupiter in your income sector, with the planets on both fronts growing closer as the month progresses.
At the same time, with no planets in your work sector, the Moon's return from 20th August to 23rd August will be more than just a chance to check on work and job matters. By then, Mercury will be in your income sector by then, with the Moon making aspects as it moves through that will bring things together from across the income, work and career fronts. It is later in the month that the Moon will return to your career sector from 30th August to 1st September.
All three planets there will still be in retrograde motion, but no longer at a standstill.
Leo
While the main focus this month is on the money, with Venus in your income sector until 7th August, the Sun returning on 23rd August and Mercury on 25th August, you have some surprising support from the professional gods at what shouldn't be an active point in the year on the job or career fronts. The reality is that apart from when the Moon moves through your two professional houses there won't be a lot of action, what you have are some stealth or low profile planets that between them are going to give you some pivotal resources and especially when it comes to access to what has already been invested.
All planetary activity on the career front should have ended when Mars left at the end of June but instead, 10 days earlier the asteroid Chiron, the planet of wisdom, knowledge and healing returned for the first time in five decades.
Chiron has no interest in even trying to keep Mars' frenetic pace going and as his focus is on learning, can be more effective if you have your foot off the gas. For Chiron, this is a quick six week in and six week out visit, with the halfway point being his retrograde turn on 4th August. This is when Chiron will turn around and backtrack, until he retrogrades back out next month.
It is eight days later that the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment will do the same, except having left your work sector in March, she is retrograding back in for a do over and a chance to revisit the intentions and resolutions made in the first three months of the year. Juno and Chiron will work closely all month, but it is the Moon that will create the most pivotal days of the month. Whether it is the Moon's return to your career sector from 5th August to 7th August or its return to your work sector from 23rd August to 25th August, this is going to energise things across the income, work and career fronts.
Virgo
While the month is likely to begin on a hiss and a roar, by the time you get to the end of the first two weeks there will be a chance to take your foot off the gas. Getting the month off to such an energised start is partly due to the Full Moon in your work sector at the end of last month. By the time you move into the new month, the Moon has only just left, so this is something that has just run its course.
It was just two days before the Moon returned that the North Node returned to your work sector, where until March 2028 it will provide a sense of direction. With Pluto and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment both in retrograde motion in your work sector, this is important.
However, it wasn't just the Full Moon and what this was able to trigger on the job front that is getting the month off to a busy start, but the Moon's friendly aspect to all three planets in your career sector as it moved through.
With Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos leaving on 11th August, he has seen this as a signal to let rip. At the same time, drawing closer to an alignment with the dwarf planet Ceres, who ends her deep dive into your professional needs and priorities on 12th August, this is giving Mars a better sense of where to channel his warrior and competitive spirit.
That will be especially so when the Moon moves through your career sector from 7th August to 9th August.
Returning on the same day that Venus returns to your income sector to begin the most lucrative months of 2026, this is going to all of a sudden energise things across the income, work and career fronts. However, the chance to take your foot off the gas will come when, within the space of 48 hours, first Mars will leave your career sector on 11th August, Juno will retrograde back out of your work sector a day later and on 12th August, Ceres will leave your career sector. By the time the Moon comes full circle from last month's Full Moon in your work sector from 25th August to 27th August, a slower but steady partnership between planets on the income, work and career fronts will have formed.
Libra
Don't be fooled by a slow start to the month, for the professional gods are getting ready to pull a bait and switch on you. While the month will begin with the Moon in your work sector and until leaving on 3rd August will be giving you an intuitive read on work and job matters. At the same time, while a friendly aspect to Mercury in your career sector as it moves through will get the month off to a positive start on the job and career fronts, it will be with a sense that things are winding down.
By the time you move into the new month, it has only been five days since the North Node left your work sector, but with no planets here until early next year, all you have now is the sense of direction it left you with.
At the same time, by this point Mercury, who will normally move through your career sector in 14 to 15 days, has been here for two months and is finally getting ready to leave on 10th August. While back in direct motion, a retrograde turn kept Mercury here during Jupiter's final four weeks in your career sector, throughout the Sun's month long visit and as Venus moved through, he is ready to leave.
With the North Node gone and Mercury preparing to leave, you can be forgiven for thinking that the professional gods are packing up and going home. However, nothing could be further from the truth.
While Mercury will end all planetary activity in your career sector when he leaves on 10th August, only for a few hours and he won't leave it empty, with the Moon moving through from 9th August to 11th August.
As if waiting for the Moon to return before Mercury could leave, it will do the same, holding on and not leaving until just seven minutes after Mars returns on 11th August to give this professional year its second wind and open up a whole new chapter. At the same time, the North Node might have left your work sector, as a direct result of its time here, when the Moon returns on 28th August, it will be as an eclipsing Full Moon, energising things on the job front as well.
Scorpio
While the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of August in your career sector and this is the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always be on your career and professional situation, matters and options, that is where all similarities to other years ends. It was over three weeks before the Sun returned that everything changed, when on 30th June Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion, returned to begin your biggest year for professional growth and expansion in over a decade. Even then, he had returned to find that Venus had returned several weeks earlier to get the ball rolling.
On its own, that wasn't a game changer, for like the Sun, Venus returns to your career sector each year but returning earlier than would normally be the case and in time to welcome Jupiter, this set the scene for what was to come. The 10 days when they were here at the same time brought the laws of attraction and the element of luck together, getting this powerful new chapter off on the right foot. Even after the Sun returned, there were more developments, with the South Node's return at the end of last month a sleeper that is set to have major implications.
It is having the South Node here that, when the Moon moves through from 11th August to 13th August, will turn an ordinary New Moon into a total solar eclipse.
This increases the power of the New Moon tenfold, while you have Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion ready to expand and multiply anything he comes into contact with. At the same time, returning from 10th August to 25th August, Mercury will make it easier to keep your head in the game and think on your feet.
Meanwhile, you not only have the support of the three planets in your work sector, that are in retrograde motion and here for the long haul, but the Moon will move through there from 3rd August to 5th August, before returning on 30th August to end the month here.
Sagittarius
This is not so much a month of two halves, but how the month begins and how it ends will have a different feel. The month begins with Venus in your career sector and Chiron, the planet of wisdom, knowledge and healing in your work sector. For Chiron, this is a short six week in and six weeks out excursion, with the halfway point being when he turns retrograde on 4th August and then spends the next six weeks retrograding back out again.
Chiron's focus is on learning and after an active first half of the year, there is a lot to process. The Moon's return from 5th August to 7th August will give you a read on those early days in retrograde motion, while keeping you emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware during Venus' final days in your career sector.
At the same time, until she leaves on 7th August, while she will be working to attract both job potential and the money, Venus' main focus will be on giving you a voice and a say in what you want, knowing that when the Sun and Mercury return later in the month, they can focus on the when, where and how.
Venus' departure will leave you with no planetary activity in your work sector until the Sun returns on 23rd August, the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto your work situation and job matters, the Moon will move through from 13th August to 16th August.
As the planet of money, desire and attraction, Venus will have her eye on the money and will be working to steer work and job matters in a lucrative direction and while she will have left by then, when the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment retrogrades back into your income sector on 13th August, she can continue the cause. Juno will be here when the Moon moves through your career sector from 13th August to 16th August and halfway between Venus' departure and the Sun's return, this will bring things together from across the income, work and career fronts.
The Moon will do that again when, during the Sun's early days in your career sector, it moves through your income sector from 23rd August to 25th August.
Capricorn
This is one month where, as the month progresses, the dynamics are going to change, while adding up to an exciting month across the income, work and career fronts. Wanting to get the month off to a busy and active start is Mars, with the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos knowing that when he leaves your work sector on 11th August, it will be another two years before he returns. Until he leaves, Mars will be all gas and no brakes, leading to a busy first part of the month, while knowing that you will be able to take your foot off the gas once he's gone.
Helping to channel this in the right direction is that it is during Mars' final days that he will catch up and align with the dwarf planet Ceres, who will leave and end her last deep dive into your needs and priorities on the job front for another four years on 13th August.
It is Ceres' focus on job satisfaction and a sense of purpose that will make it easier to know when, where and how to channel Mars warrior and competitive spirit. Knowing that once they leave, the reins will be handed to Uranus, who will stay on to keep work and job matters on the right track for the next seven years, makes Mars and Ceres' final days the last to get work and job matters up to speed and on the right track.
Meanwhile, before they leave, Venus' return to your career sector on 7th August will open up even more new doors, with her early return set to see her spend an incredible amount of time here this year.
Normally moving through in 24 days, by the time Venus leaves next month she will have been here for five weeks, while a retrograde turn will see her return in October and then not leave until December. Like the planets returning to your work sector this year, Venus' return will find support from Pluto in your income sector from the start and as she has returned to attract both job potential and the money, that couldn't be more important.
Thanks to the Moon, key days across the income, work and career fronts will be from 7th August to 9th August and again from 16th August to 18th August.
Aquarius
From the moment you move into the new month, there is a need to be aware that things are about to get a lot busier and especially as you are likely to have been lulled into thinking that the busiest part of the year is behind you. Instead, it is more the professional year itself making the most of a chance to pause and regroup before picking up the pace again. By the time you move into the new month, it has been just over a month since Jupiter left your work sector, ending his 12 month quest for job growth and expansion.
Since then, the Sun and Venus have moved through and while Mercury is still here, having spent most of July in retrograde motion, he is still slowly getting back up to speed.
By then, it has been two months since Mercury returned on 1st June for what is normally a 14 to 15 day chance to work smarter, get your head in the game, think on your feet and the communication lines open. While back in direct motion, it was a retrograde turn at the end of June that has kept him here, but leaving on 10th August, you would be right to assume that he is tying up loose ends and you will then be on your own.
While this will end all planetary activity on the job front, only for a few hours and in that time the Moon will be here. Returning from 9th August to 11th August, this will give you an intuitive edge that will balance Mercury's smart and practical approach.
If Mercury has been waiting for the Moon to return so he could leave, then it is doing the same, holding on until Mars returns on 11th August and then leaving just seven minutes later.
Just when things should be dialling back, the warrior planet of the cosmos returns to usher in a whole new chapter and his first chance to fire up your work passions, fighting and competitive spirit in two years. While Mars will leave at the end of September, the dwarf planet Ceres will return on 13th August to begin her first deep dive into your needs and priorities on the job front in four years and won't leave until May 2027. So much for things coming to an end.
Meanwhile, the Moon's return to your career sector from 18th August to 20th August won't just sharpen your professional instincts, but this last visit before Venus returns to open even more new doors will have her approach on your over the horizon radar.
Pisces
While the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of August in your work sector and the solar spotlight is always on work and job matters at this time of year, this is where similarities to other years ends. By the time you move into the new month, the Sun has only been here for nine days, but already he has aligned with Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion here for the first time in over a decade and the South Node has returned. While the latter is set to soon have major implications, just as Jupiter has completed the first month of what he will be working to make your biggest year for job growth and expansion in over a decade.
While the Sun is only here until 23rd August and Mercury will move through with a chance to work smarter, get your head in the game, think on your feet and the communication lines open from 10th August to 25th August, Jupiter is here until July 2027. With Venus having not only already moved through but here when Jupiter returned at the end of June, your heart has already had a say in the direction you want things to take. Meanwhile, it is having the South Node here when the Moon moves through from 11th August to 13th August that will have major implications.
The lunar nodes aren't physical objects and instead are the point in the heavens where the Earth's orbit around the Sun is intersected by the Moon's orbit around the Earth. When the Sun and Moon meet in that zone, which they will do to create the New Moon here, this will turn this into a total solar eclipse. This not only increases the power of the New Moon tenfold, but while Jupiter has the element of luck in play.
This could have major and unexpected implications and especially when it comes to opening new doors. As both the Moon, Sun and Mercury will all draw on support from the three planets in your income sector as they move through, this could include unexpected income developments. Meanwhile, the Moon's return to your career sector from 20th August to 23rd August will be pivotal days across the income, work and career fronts.
