August 2026
Monthly tarot card for Cancer: Two of Cups
You want to feel like you're in a relationship where each individual is respected and honored for who they are. August is about finding your person, Cancer, whether that's someone new or someone you are already in a relationship with, with whom you want to deepen and strengthen your closeness. The Two of Cups is a harmonious card, and it's about a partnership that's balanced in body, mind and spirit. It's the perfect time to cultivate strong relationships with friends and a loved one.
With the Nodes leaving Pisces and Virgo, you are focused on relationships and situations that make you feel good inside, and that can include innovative ideas involving partners who think differently from people you knew in the past. You start to experience a surge of intimacy around August 12, around the Leo New Moon. When the solar eclipse takes place in Leo on August 18, you gain insight or see a significant change in direction. Eclipses, especially solar ones, bring energy that lasts for six months, so what happens now can carry well into next year, 2027.
Once the Sun enters Virgo on August 23, your partnership begins discussing the future. If you have questions or would like to create a vision, please share your ideas around this time. You'll be far from Mercury's shadow and can enter into contracts and make sound decisions.
