Pisces

August 2026

 Both Neptune and Saturn are sitting in your second house of income and abundance. And both are retrograde. When a planet is retrograde, it appears that the planet is moving backward instead of forward. And both of these will stay in this backward motion until December when both turn direct. So for the next few months you may have your mind on old money issues. I do not see you moving in some kind of new direction for now, but I do see you pondering the right direction to move in. Then once they change direction, you will be ready to move and make the changes that you are only thinking about now. 


For the first week of August, you want to be with friends and have a more active social life. So you may go to visit family and friends and enjoy some time spent catching up. It is positive and joyful, so if you have an opportunity to go see someone – go. And you may also have people come to visit you as well. After August 7th Venus moves into Libra and a new area of the chart. The eighth house becomes more active as Venus makes its move. There may be some kind of financial benefit coming to you. If someone offers you a monetary gift, you might want to accept graciously. This is a good time to look at investments and long-terms financial gains. The eighth house is also one that is private and reserved. We tend to turn a bit within and ponder life’s mysteries. This is also the area associated with life and death, so you might be thinking about estate planning and burial plans. A visit to a medium might also be on the agenda. 


As Mars moves along on the 12th, you activate the fifth house. The fifth is one of creativity and pleasure. It is not that often that life is asking us to focus on enjoying life, but now is the time. A great month for being with children and grandchildren. Plan a trip of other fun activity. Get together with friends and plan a party. And if you are involved in the arts in any way, then this is an especially positive period. Explore art, music and dance. Take up quilting or knitting. New hobbies beckon and you want to try new things. Dating and romance are also showing up. Sign up with a dating service or you and your spouse might plan something special just for the two of you. Enjoy.
