August 2026
Jupiter and the Sun are transiting Leo, or your 2nd house, and they are joined by Mercury from August 9th to 25th. Your 2nd house rules money, and you may benefit here. But your self-esteem will increase as well, Cancer.
Since Leo is all about love, now is the time for you to shine. But there will be a focus on boundaries and what you are willing to tolerate from others in terms of partners. You tend to nurture others and at times overgive, but the planets are demanding you put your needs first for a change. With Mercury in Leo, this will be much easier and you will speak up without fear.
The solar eclipse on August 12th also falls in your 2nd house. You may feel somewhat out of your comfort zone, but this pushes you to reset your relationship dynamics if they are lopsided. You won’t sacrifice your own needs to keep the peace anymore.
Mars leaves your 12th house and enters your zodiac sign, or your 1st house, on August 12th. This is positive because Mars in the 12th house can be too focused on inner baggage, but when Mars enters your sign, you will feel energized and bolder. Mars is associated with courage and bravery, and you will be more inclined to take a chance on something or someone more than you normally are.
Venus enters Libra on the 6th or your 4th house, a great time for relationships. You may want to spend more time at home or entertain there more often. This can represent a push-pull type of energy that creates juxtaposition between the heart and your intellect, and the heart generally wins out with Cancer.
The lunar eclipse on August 27th falls in Pisces or your 9th house. You could take a trip or meet someone at a distance. This house is concerned with learning and our inquisitiveness, and during this time, you may want to get to know more about how your partner or a love interest generally thinks about the world. If you are single, a new romance could begin with the intellect and someone else’s approach to the world could change your thinking.
