A Cautionary Tale - August 2026 Astrology Report
Blessings Soul Family!
As I mentioned last month, the most important events occurring at this time are the shift of the North Node into Aquarius and eclipse season. I go in-depth into these events in my North Node in Aquarius video. In particular, this video breaks down the transit into 3 parts with insights into the themes at play and guidance to make the most of it.
Important:
Eclipse season is a powerful time of change–endings and beginnings. Leave as much space as possible in your schedule for thinking, contemplation, and planning.
For your scheduled responsibilities, give them your undivided attention and say no to distractions, specifically: those people/places/things that would add to your plate that you didn’t already plan for OR those people/places/things that would require new creative investment outside of what you already have going on.
Both Pluto retrograde and Saturn retrograde are the backdrop to all of these major astrological shifts and they correspond to a resurgence of karmic patterns and a sense of freedom from restriction.
It can be tempting to give things from the past “another chance” even though it hasn’t been a part of the huge life transition you’ve endured over the past 12 months.
It can be tempting to release the wise discipline you’ve developed over the past year just because excitement lures you to spread yourself thin.
But make no mistake, slipping now into the familiar will hinder your forward momentum. I know this is easier said than done so I recommend that you hold to your intentional thinking and action through August 22nd (when the Sun will move into Virgo) at the very least!
ANCESTRAL REALM UPDATE
I was made aware recently that the lowest level of the ancestral realms (“4D”) has descended to what I refer to as the “Red Earth dimension” and is closed off–meaning those souls are prevented from engaging in the incarnation cycle. Now the middle level of the ancestral realms is the lowest, and so on. (Note: from my experience the ancestral realm is divided into 3 levels.) With that being said, you may have noticed a difference in how the 4D/astral realm feels as well as a difference in who’s around.
Alright, time to be intentional with your monthly planning!

August 2026 Astrology Transit Guidance
Leo Moon Cycle (August 12th - September 9th)
The archetype of Leo represents our individuality and our creativity. We can work with these areas to lean into that which is unique to us - perspectives, activities, etc - as well as going after what we want. This may be easy or hard for you depending on how much you naturally center yourself and your needs. If you’ve walked consciously through the Cancer lunar cycle and have embraced emotional authenticity, then this experience will evolve naturally because you are now asked to incorporate more AGENCY in cultivating your emotional experience rather than reflecting upon it. This is the time to practice the full expression of everything that makes you unique as your ‘superpower’.
Mercury in Leo (August 9th - August 24th)
Personal Insight
Mercury in Leo is a great time to toot your own horn. If you don’t do it, who else will? (Although, you should have folks around who will see the best in you and speak that back to you when you aren’t feeling that great…) Confidence and humility are bosom buddies because they are rooted in authenticity. Speak the truth about who you are and what you bring to the table (relationships, work, etc) without apology. This can be a time of healthy self-assertion if you let it. It also wouldn’t hurt to turn the charm on every now and then either.
Business Insight
Mercury in Leo is a great time to feature leaders in the company in your marketing campaigns to familiarize the client base with your brand. This can also happen internally as well to show pathways for advancement or possible mentors available for professional development. This transit can also be used to emphasize what makes you unique in your products or services - clients and employees benefit from this reminder and it can help you (CEO) from diluting your brand.
Venus in Libra (August 6th - September 9th)
Personal Insight
Venus in Libra is all about cultivating healthy, interdependent relationships…not just with another person (romantic or business), but with your Soul and the Divine as well. This isn’t a transit focused on “building legacy” rather one that is focused on finding balance between all parties. Try not to veer into discussions about the future during this time, instead focus on deepening an understanding of who you’re dealing with. Be curious (when learning about another). Be open (when another is learning about you).
Business Insight
Venus transiting Libra shifts the focus to marketing. What efforts in the past have paid off, i.e. have grown the business in a particular metric such as increased newsletter subscribers, higher conversion rates, increased profits, higher website traffic, increased referrals, reduced returns, etc? Cut your losses on those things that aren’t bearing fruit and lean into those things that are. This assessment helps to establish your business as “best in class”.
Mars in Cancer (August 11th - September 26th)
Personal Insight
Mars in Cancer takes us on the journey of clarifying and/or remembering what our soul purpose is as well as strategizing on how to walk our karmic path in this incarnation. There are three broad components for the expression and experience of our soul purpose: personal, ancestral/soul family, and collective. The personal work is directly linked to our relationship with Source/God/Spirit and that Virtue (quality) we are to be the embodiment/emanation of throughout our life. The ancestral (blood relations) and soul family (friends, romantic partners, enemies) work delves into the recurring themes and dynamics of our interpersonal relationships, healing traumas, and evolving patterns of behavior. The collective work is centered on being an active agent for change in society which means dealing with economics, social justice, environmentalism, politics, and the like. The Mars in Cancer transit provides an important time for checking in on our alignment to what is specifically for us to do and to adjust our actions accordingly where needed.
Business Insight
Mars transiting Cancer provides a chance to check in and see how the work/rest flow is going. Is your work/production schedule tied to old Industrial Revolution constraints, i.e. forcing maximum output in a reductionist and linear format? Or is the schedule cognizant of human needs as well as the natural cycle of growth? If you are unsure about different ways to incorporate more human-centered approaches to work/tasks, then this is the time to do some research and practice applying different techniques. If you have already been doing so, then check in to see if you’ve been maintaining those actions or if you have fallen off (and if you’re good, then look to see where you can get better!).
Jupiter in Leo (June 30, 2026 - July 27, 2027)
This transit shifts focus to living out one’s soul purpose. This transit is great for those who’ve been diverted from their path due to events from the past as it will help them realign with the deeper desires of their soul. For others already walking in their purpose, there’s a much needed reinvigoration of commitment as well as motivation. This can translate into magnetic charisma and increased luck! In either case, you can expect a willingness to take risks you might not otherwise, which is necessary if you want to go where you’ve never gone before. Judging yourself harshly for a risk that doesn’t pan out is not a good use of this transit. Dust yourself off and try again.
For the entrepreneurs, this is your time to shine. There will be a lot more opportunities for you to be noticed, whether through marketing or networking. These next 12 months are the time to:
work on (further) establishing yourself as a leader with industry expertise and good business acumen through writing, speaking, etc,
network strategically & consistently, and
stack wins in initiatives that will set you apart down the road.
To be clear, I’m recommending significantly moreoutput from you. This yearlong transit is for “doing too much”. Your charisma will open doors of opportunity; your work and integrity ensures future gain.
