General

Mars, your ruling planet, enters Cancer on August 11 — a more protective, less head-on energy than usual. Use it to secure your foundations rather than to charge ahead. The solar eclipse on the 12th in Leo warms your relationships: a declaration or commitment made that day has lasting effects. The lunar eclipse on the 27th may reveal an expense or arrangement worth revisiting — don't ignore it.

General

Venus, your ruling planet, enters her own sign on August 7 — a period of balance and rediscovered aesthetic pleasure, ideal for beautifying your surroundings. As a couple, an old tension eases naturally from the 7th onward. Single, your charm is at its peak — don't hide it. A business negotiation started in July concludes favorably around the Full Moon on the 27th.

General

Mercury moves through Leo before reaching Virgo on the 24th — your mind lights up with confidence in the first half, then refocuses on efficiency. The eclipse on the 12th in Leo favors encounters born from festive or creative settings. As a couple, propose something out of the ordinary. Your ideas find a receptive ear before the 22nd — pitch what's on your mind without waiting too long.

General

Mars enters your sign on August 11 — a surge of protective energy to defend what truly matters to you, family and home in particular. As a couple, this Martian energy may awaken a desire to protect the relationship actively rather than passively. Single, your unguarded authenticity attracts people. A matter of financial security or housing moves forward concretely thanks to this active energy.

General

The solar eclipse of August 12 lands in your sign, surrounded by a cluster of four planets — the most powerful reset of your year. What begins now counts double. Your radiance peaks until the 22nd — as a couple or single, it's time to dare what you've been holding back. A leadership or visibility opportunity appears around the eclipse — take it even if it exposes you.

General

The Sun, then Mercury, enter your sign late August (the 22nd and 24th) — your energy and mental clarity return to the forefront after a quieter summer. The lunar eclipse of the 27th in Pisces, your opposite sign, highlights an imbalance in a relationship — a useful realization rather than a worrying one. It's the right moment to relaunch a paused project — your eye for detail becomes a major asset again from the 22nd.

General

Venus, your ruling planet, enters your sign on August 7 — a month of particular favor where your natural diplomacy finally pays off. This is one of the best months of the year for love: reconciliation is possible as a couple, a meaningful encounter is likely if you're single. A negotiation or partnership deserves to be started the week of the 7th — the stars support your sense of balance.

General

This month's two eclipses (the 12th and 27th) activate areas of your chart tied to others and the collective — stay alert to what's unfolding around you without rushing in. An emotional truth surfaces with the lunar eclipse on the 27th — welcome it with the same intensity you always bring to revelations. A partnership or shared resources situation clarifies — joint finances need your attention from mid-August.

General

The solar eclipse of August 12 in Leo, a fire sign like yours, revives your enthusiasm and taste for adventure — a new chapter opens. Your communicative energy attracts meaningful encounters until the 22nd — break from your usual routine. An expansion project (travel, study, publishing) deserves to be launched during the eclipse period.

General

While the month stirs around the eclipses, you remain the stable structure others lean on — a role that suits you and will be recognized. As a couple, your reassuring presence is especially appreciated after the 22nd. Single, discretion attracts more than display. A long-term project moves forward quietly — the second half confirms the soundness of your choices.

General

The eclipses of the 12th and 27th activate your social zone and group projects — expect changes within your circle of friends or community. A friendship may evolve into something more after the eclipse on the 12th. As a couple, bring your partner into your wider circle. A collaborative or humanitarian project deserves to be formalized this week — the collective carries you more than the individual this month.

General

The lunar eclipse of August 27 lands in your sign — a rare, precise Full Moon that releases what you've silently carried for a long time. A repressed emotion needs to be expressed before month's end — the relief that follows will match the silence you kept. Creatively, the first half (carried by Leo) is exceptional — bring an idea to life before the eclipse reshuffles the deck.
