Sagittarius

August 2026

Sweet Sag begins the month with the Sun and Jupiter getting all cozy together in your ninth house. You feel invincible. A very strong energy and your confidence and enthusiasm are off the charts. The ninth house is all about education and so you might be thinking of taking some classes of some sort or even going back to school to get some kind of certification. A great time to teach and share what you know. You may be asked to help train some new people or a friend asks you to tutor their child. You are seeking higher wisdom. The ninth is also about travel and it is a good time to both take a vacation or start to plan one for the future. Even just getting in the car and driving to the beach for a few days will be good for you. You have a bigger vision now of what your future can be. It is a positive period for you to promote yourself. This is all about marketing and advertising. Maybe run some kind of special if you own your own business. This is your time to be seen. On the 24th the Sun will leave and enter the sign of Virgo, but for most of the month these two work well together. 


This is Eclipse season and in August we have two. There is a Solar Eclipse on the 12th and a Lunar Eclipse on the 28th. The Solar Eclipse will occur in this same ninth house that is already so active. Eclipses are funny things and you never really know how they will play out. New ideas just come to you and you are ready to explore new directions. Some of this is going to show up in your career. The Lunar Eclipse of the 28th will fall in your fourth house. This house is one that is all about home and family. Be aware that this is a very emotional time for you and you may overreact to some situation. You can think about either buying or selling some real estate. And family issues may take you down a new path. 


You also have Mars starting August in Gemini and your seventh house. Mars is forceful and can be pretty argumentative. You and your partner may be on different pages about life and the future for the both of you. On the other hand Mars is a planet of passion. You two may be fighting in the living room and making up in the bedroom. On the 12th Mars moves into Cancer and your eighth house. This is private and reserved but very intense. You might want to go deep within and look at deep healing.
