Leo: (Jul. 22-Aug. 23): It's Eclipse Season! You start to feel the effects of August eclipses well before they occur! Lots of changes this month because it's not just eclipse season; the Lunar Nodes change signs from Pisces-Virgo into Aquarius-Leo, where everyone has a dream, a hope, and a wish for a better life. It's what you imagine you are entitled to and how you dream your life should be. There's a romantic undercurrent that cannot be denied, pulling past lovers together and making everyone want their own Cinderella story! Ugh, if it were only that easy! Pluto Rx and Juno Rx won't make it easy at all, and Venus retrogradeing in October when the Sun is in Libra says there may be lots to sort out.
Jul.29 The Sun in Leo conjoins Jupiter in Leo at 6°, bringing reasons to celebrate, honoring heroes and encouraging love, dating, sports, a winning spirit, parties, weddings, engagements, love and confidence. It's about the kids, their education, travel for fun, and self-indulgence. Everyone likes to stand out now.
Jul.29 the Full Moon in Aquarius at 6°. It's called the Full Buck Moon. Check your free Natal Birth Chart on my website for any planets, house cusps, or asteroids at 6°.
Jul. 31 It's 12 days before Venus trine Uranus, and here is the cycle to expect.

7/28                        8/11                    8/26

This is the chart of Venus approaching an aspect with Uranus and then moving away from its aspect with Uranus. Venus rules money, wealth, love, gain, beauty, and marriage. The planet Uranus rules the unexpected, windfalls, and panic. Uranus can rule panic, reversing decisions or courses without notice, impulsiveness, overconfidence, freedom from doubt, and doing what others do. Venus-Uranus can indicate a stock market breakout to new highs or a reversal. Remember Uranus is in new degrees in Gemini, so seeing two sides of everything is a big deal.
Most personal planets approach an outer planet, aspect it, and then move away. It's called waxing and waning. You see an issue, a problem, or something good coming, and then it comes and goes. Some problems in life are like that, too. Two weeks before the dentist's appointment, you start to worry; the appointment happens, and then you recover and feel better. Except Uranus RX in Taurus (Fall) is about money and economic factors beyond your control. 
Uranus influences trends, overall sentiment, and what the masses or groups of people do —how they feel about money, investments, property, and assets—for instance, investors in the stock market. When everyone gets excited about a new stock, they buy out of greed, and when earnings fall short, they sell out of fear. Investors get scared and pull out of a stock or the market, and the stock or the market tumbles.
A waxing and waning effect. It comes, and it goes. The Flow of the Influence and Inevitable Tide. (Highlights the natural, constant rhythm) and rhythmic fluctuation. In Gemini is the information highway and seeing two sides of everything.

Aug.01 Lammas signals the end of Summer.
Aug.03 the wounded healer Chiron S Rx retrogrades in Taurus (Money and wealth) until Jan. 6, 2027, when it resumes direct motion in Aries at 26°, after which it will continue its direct transit through Aries until Apr.14, 2027 
Aug.05 4th Qtr. Moon in Taurus at 13°; it's time to wait and see how things are working out financially.
Aug.06 Venus enters Libra (Rulership)
Venus in Libra is in her most powerful sign now, Libra. The ruler of partnerships and marriage. Venus is at home in the sign of Libra as it rules Libra. Kind, polite, sympathetic, refined tastes, affectionate, and truly a lovable nature. This placement gives a love of the arts, music, and even design. A happy union, marriage, and children are indicated with this placement. Prefers people of good social standing, and can sometimes be accused of snobbery. In Libra, Venus is where she is truly at home and able to express her charm and beauty naturally.
Aug.06 The Sun in Leo (Rulership) trines the serious planet Saturn S RX in Aries at 14°; your hard work and decisions pay off. No one has to agree with your decisions, only you!

Aug.07 The planet of love, money, wealth, beauty, luxuries, and the wife in a man's chart, Venus in Libra (Rulership), inconjunct Chiron Rx retrograde in Taurus at 0°. Inconjuncts require action to clean things up.
Aug.08 Mercury is out of its shadow in Cancer at 27° and will now bring new experiences to you.
Aug.09 The planet of communications, ideas, short trips, errands, transactions, commerce, and your ideas, Mercury enters Leo. Mercury in Leo is all about articulating your ideas and wanting to be heard, or the desire to influence others and sway their opinions or outlook. All the world is a stage and filled with actors and actresses. You may summarize things in such a way that makes others think you're absolutely right. When people disagree, it's seen as an affront to you, and you'll need to be careful not to surround yourself with people who agree with you. The confidence of the sign of Leo meets with the verbal acumen of Mercury. Hopefully you sound intelligent and not just filled with hot air.
Aug.10 Mercury in Leo squares the wounded healer Chiron Rx in Taurus 0°, and decisions made by rulers, leaders, those in charge may adversely affect some financially.
Aug.10 Venus in Libra (Rulership) trines Pluto RX in Aquarius at 3° and can bring money from the past.
Aug.10 Venus in Libra (Rulership) opposite Neptune RX in Aries at 4°
Aug.11 Mars enters Cancer (Fall)
Mars in Cancer, a water sign, directs the forcefulness of Mars energy toward property matters, the family, and influences domestic matters adversely. A soldier's place is not in the home. There can be an unwanted police presence in towns and cities. This can also result in sudden outbursts if you've been keeping your emotions tightly under control, or if you're not speaking up about how you really feel about things. Home life is upset by moves, enforced changes of residence, political upheavals, unforeseen natural disasters, and uncontrollable circumstances.
Aug.11 Mercury in Leo opposite Pluto RX in Aquarius at 3°, and someone may disagree with you.
Aug.11 Mercury in Leo trine Neptune RX in Aries at 3°, but you might be half right.
Aug.11 Venus in Libra (Rulership) trines Uranus in Gemini at 5°

Aug.12 Mars in Cancer (Fall) sextiles Chiron Rx in Taurus at 0°. You can find something you lost, or get a discount on a lease or property.
Aug.12 the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Leo at 20°. Every New Moon starts a new cycle of experiences, events, and circumstances in your life, and a New Moon Solar Eclipse foretells important new happenings, changes, circumstances, natural disasters, and events to come that are more eventful, and maybe longer-term. A New Moon Solar Eclipse is thousands of times more potent in your life. Check your free Natal Birth Chart on my website for any planets, house cusps, or asteroids at 20°.
The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Leo is a special kind of New Moon promising a new beginning, which sounds exciting. This eclipse is total across parts of Greenland, Iceland, northern Spain, and a small corner of Portugal, and partial across much of Europe. However, that same day, Mars and Ceres align on the World Axis, indicating potential for more fires, of which there have been plenty so far (gathering momentum as Mercury crossed the World Axis a few weeks ago). There may be more fires to come – increasing the need for those emergency vehicles and other related equipment.
The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Leo is playful and seeks to make everything fun, even the most arduous tasks. It's romantic and all about being a romance junkie! People want to hear your Cinderella story and want to experience this for themselves too. You're most likely to feel dramatic and encounter dramatic types or just plain drama or melodrama. You might feel like making a grand entrance, creating a fabulous first impression, turning heads, and showing off. Flattery goes a long way and is honestly taken seriously during the Leo Moon phase. So be sure to praise others and tell everyone what you adore about them. You might say today is all about appreciating others and being appreciated. There's a strong emotional attachment to winning,  sports, games, parades, dating, pomp, and circumstances. It's about rulers, royalty, executives, children, stars, and celebrities. It's about blockbuster movies, concerts, entertainment, and self-indulgence. It can boost your confidence, make you a hero or a tyrant! ©

This Solar Eclipse belongs to Solar Saros Series 126, an eclipse family that repeats every 18 years and 11 days, consisting of 72 total solar eclipses spanning 1,280 years. You can view the complete tracking data on the NASA Solar Saros 126 CatalogSaros Cycle

Aug.12 the planet of communications, ideas, short trips, errands, transactions, commerce, and your ideas, Mercury in Leo, sextiles fast-moving and super intelligent Uranus in Gemini at 5°. You might be able to perfect or fix things quickly.
Aug.12 Juno Rx re-enters Capricorn at 29°, the fated degree where she was last on March 29th 2026. In Capricorn, she has a connection to losses andill-fated soul mates whose timing was off. She could reconnect with past lovers.
Aug. 13-27th Hungry Ghosts month celebrated Taoist, Buddhist, and eastern folk traditions starts on Aug. 13 and ends on Sept. 10, with the Hungry Ghost Festival falling on August 27th. Light incense for wandering ghosts and remember your ancestors.
Aug.13 Mercury in Leo sextiles Venus in Libra (Rulership) at 6°
Aug.13 Ceres enters Cancer. Cers is the wounded mother the keeper of garins and the harvest. When she was crossed, she smote the Earth and ravaged the crops.
Aug.14 Pallas Rx retrograde in Aries at 22°. Pallas is the asteroid Goddess of war who strategizes and always wins over Mars.
Aug.15 Mercury in Leo conjunct Jupiter in Leo at 9°
Aug.16 Mars in Cancer (Fall) inconjunct Pluto RX in Aquarius at 3°; avoid serious family disputes or fights.
Aug.17 Mars in Cancer (Fall) squares Neptune RX in Aries at 3°, and if you meet someone new who seems better than you expect, they are! Be wary of a clingy Jekyll-and-Hyde man, ladies!
Aug.17 Mercury in Leo trine Saturn RX in Aries at 14°
Aug.17 Venus in Libra (Rulership) sextile Jupiter in Leo at 10°, two beneficial planets offering amazing opportunities.
Aug.19 2nd Qtr. Moon in Scorpio at 27°
Aug.20 The Lunar Nodes enter Aquarius and Leo and bring a shift in your previous experiences, which will now focus on a past love or someone similar, repeating romantic patterns, or just being friendly and keeping things non-committal. It's a long transit that can reunite estranged family members. Here the axis is Aquarius and Leo, and that is all about trying to be the MVP player on a team or the team captain calling the shots. It's how you stand out in a group or who you are accepted or not as important by your community, club, team, or organization. For instance, heroes and athletes stand out with a show of courage and confidence.

Aug.21 Venus in Libra (Rulership) opposite Saturn RX in Aries at 14°
Aug.22 Happy Virgo Season! The Sun enters Virgo, and it's all about getting things done right and being perfect. No one wants to have their errors or mistakes called out. You will feel inferior if that happens. It's about work, our job, your daily routine, and keeping your desk tidy, which seems impossible. It's the constant grind: work, clean-up, and do it again. But somehow, it's the routine and method that brings stability. You criticize, nag, and judge, because the mind is now so discriminating. Everything has to work like clockwork.
Aug.23 The Sun in Virgo trines Chiron Rx in Taurus 0°
Aug.25 Mercury enters Virgo (Rulership and Exalted)
Mercury in Virgo is different than Mercury in Gemini because Gemini is a dual sign (two) and Virgo can handle a multitude of things to sift through, sort, and organize! Mercury in Gemini flits from one flower to another like a butterfly, while Mercury in Virgo is pinned down to one solid surface, job, set of facts, and routine. That's hard on Butterflies. Since the sign of Virgo rules the digestive system, Mercury in Virgo easily digests massive amounts of information. There's a love of physical fitness and a desire for others to fall in line and do their part; everything is utilitarian, has a place, and has to be done correctly.
Aug.25 Mercury in Virgo (Rulership and Exalted) trine Chiron Rx in Taurus 0°
Aug. 26 Vesta Rx retrograde in Aries at 27°. Vesta was the young priestess who kept the sacred fires going in the Roman temples and was given their freedom after years of service.
Aug.26 The Sun in Virgo inconjunct Pluto RX in Aquarius at 3° Yod
Aug.26 The Sun in Virgo inconjunct Neptune RX in Aries at 3° Yod
Aug.26 15 days after Venus trine Uranus in Gemini at 5°

Aug.27 Mercury in Virgo (Rulership) inconjunct Pluto RX in Aquarius at 3° Yod pay attention to what you sign or where you put something.
Aug.27 Mercury in Virgo (Rulership)  inconjunct Neptune RX in Aries at 3° Yod
Aug.27 The Sun in Virgo conjoins Mercury in Virgo at 4°. 4° Virgo was the focal degree for the sextiles between Neptune RX in Aries, Pluto RX in Aquarius, and Uranus in Gemini, so it acts as a trigger or what can make you feel the energy of these amazing transits.

Aug.28 The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces at 4°. It's called the Full Sturgeon Moon. Check your free Natal Birth Chart on my website for any planets, house cusps, or asteroids at 4°. Every Full Moon is the culmination of the New Moon or previous Moons at 4° Pisces. A Full Moon Eclipse foretells a completion or some ending to come.
The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces opens receptiveness to psychic and intuitive emanations and can make them feel real. You recognize coincidences and synchronicities, and feel things before they happen. Because the Moon in Pisces is so responsive to otherworldly feelings, frequently withdrawing from the real world, viewed as too competitive or harsh, is possible. This Moon sign withdraws and can become reclusive, staying in the background or working behind the scenes. Energy and emotions are easily worn out and exhausted by what is seen as a cruel and judgmental world. The Moon in Pisces can bring out empathy, philanthropy, and a desire to help others.

Aug.28 Mercury in Virgo (Rulership) square Uranus in Gemini at 5°; this is mutable and chaotic energy where you can say "I almost had an accident."
Aug. 28: The Sun in Virgo square Uranus in Gemini at 5° makes you more aware of what could fall: creaky stairs, work-related accidents, or changes. Your mistakes need to be corrected. It's all about what you didn't see or missed.
Aug. 31: The planet of expansion, Jupiter in Leo, trines Saturn RX in Aries at 13 °, making your past decisions, your confident actions, and career moves relevant and work out. What's ahead for you?
