August 2026 Pisces Horoscope

August is a showstopper of a month for you, Pisces – one that could prove to be a turning point in 2026. With two eclipses shaking up the skies and your ruling planet Jupiter now blazing through Leo, the stage is set for big changes in both your daily routine and your personal life. The atmosphere crackles with intensity and opportunity. It may not always be a smooth ride, but it will certainly be memorable and ultimately empowering.

The month kicks off under the Sun in Leo, highlighting your 6th house of work, health, and habits. You’re in “get things done” mode as August begins. After the relative leisure of early summer, you now have your sleeves rolled up. And you might need to, because the first eclipse arrives on August 12: a Total Solar Eclipse in Leo. Solar eclipses herald powerful new beginnings, often coming through external events. In your case, this one targets your work and well-being sector. You might experience a significant development in your job around this time – anything from landing a new position or project to a change in management or company direction that affects you. Stay flexible in the days surrounding this eclipse; even surprises that initially throw you off can lead to positive outcomes down the road. For instance, an unexpected vacancy could thrust you into a leadership role, or a sudden project deadline might push you to showcase talents you didn’t realize you had. Health-wise, this eclipse could inspire you to take dramatic steps toward better wellness. Perhaps you commit to a major lifestyle change, like training for a marathon or starting a complete dietary overhaul. Because eclipses can sometimes reveal what’s been hidden, you might also learn important news – maybe a diagnosis or breakthrough in a health issue, either for you or someone close. Whatever comes to light, the key is to respond with courage and self-care (very Leo themes!). You’re stronger than you think, and this cosmic event is setting you up to create daily life changes that support the person you’re becoming.

Mid-month continues the focus on routine and partnership balancing. Venus remains in Libra through early August (enhancing intimacy and shared resources), but by August 6, Venus shifts into your 8th house of deeper bonds just as Mars in Cancer (your romance zone) carries forward passion from July. This suggests that while work life is busy, there’s also an undercurrent of intensity in love or financial partnerships. You might be negotiating a contract or diving deeper into a commitment with a significant other. Try to maintain equilibrium – around August 12-15, emotions run high (thanks to that eclipse and Venus’s powerful placement). If tension arises with a partner about money or closeness, remember you’re on the same team. Sometimes an outside stress (like work changes) can either bring you closer or cause friction. Choose the former by communicating openly about your fears and hopes.

The latter part of August is where the spotlight swings firmly onto you. On August 22, the Sun enters Virgo, which means relationship themes are front and center as Virgo rules your 7th house. Suddenly, it’s less about the grind and more about the people in your life. This shift in focus is perfectly timed because just days later comes the second eclipse: a Partial Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on August 28. Now this one is personal – it’s happening in your sign. Think back to March, when there was an eclipse in your opposite sign Virgo; that likely stirred relationship matters. Now, the eclipse in Pisces spotlights you as an individual. Lunar eclipses often signal endings or culminations. You might reach the peak of a personal project or goal you’ve been working toward all year. If you’ve been trying to change something about yourself – your image, your lifestyle, your outlook – this is when results show or when you decide to either fully embrace the change or release what isn’t working. Emotionally, you could have a revelation about your identity: a moment of crystal-clear self-awareness that alters your trajectory. Some Pisces could decide to make a bold move, like changing careers or moving to a new city, as an expression of their true self. The energy around August 28 can feel intense and even overwhelming (eclipses in one’s own sign can be like a cosmic rebirth). Be gentle with yourself. Positive potential is high – think along the lines of breaking free from an old skin. But give yourself space to process feelings. It might help to lean on a trusted friend or therapist in this period, just to have a sounding board as you sort through what you want going forward.

Meanwhile, Jupiter (planet of expansion) forms a supportive angle with Saturn at the end of August (exact around August 31). This is a blessing, suggesting that the changes and opportunities this month, especially in work (Jupiter in 6th) and finances (Saturn in your money house), can actually lead to long-term stability. You may get a reassuring sign that you’re making the right moves – maybe a positive financial outcome from a risk or a mentor figure offering support at work.

By the end of August, you might hardly recognize parts of your life compared to just a month before. It’s the kind of month that can change status quos: you could go from single to planning a future with someone, from employee to entrepreneur, or from feeling stuck to feeling inspired. Embrace these shifts. Yes, it’s intense, but it’s all steering you toward a more authentic and empowered life. As you step into September, you’ll begin to integrate all that’s happened. For now, ride the wave of transformation – it’s carrying you somewhere truly special.
