August 2026 Virgo Horoscope

Buckle up, Virgo – August is a rollercoaster of profound shifts and revelations. Two eclipses bookend the month, ensuring that this summer is anything but dull. Think of August as a pivotal chapter in your 2026 story, where hidden elements come to light and relationships evolve in significant ways.

The month begins in Leo season, a time when you’re usually winding down and reflecting ahead of your birthday. The Sun in your restful twelfth house (until August 22nd) encourages you to take things slow and listen to your intuition. You might have already felt this pull in late July: a desire to tie up loose ends, to dream, and even to heal from the past year’s events. Honor that feeling, because the first eclipse arrives early – and it’s a powerful one. On August 12th, a New Moon solar eclipse in Leo electrifies the most private part of your chart. Solar eclipses often act like cosmic wildcards, and in your twelfth house, this one could trigger a sudden release or a startling revelation from the depths of your psyche. You might finally break a bad habit or let go of an old grudge seemingly overnight. Some Virgos could experience a behind-the-scenes change – perhaps a secret project reaches a breakthrough, or you decide to step away from a situation quietly but definitively. Pay attention to your dreams and gut feelings around this eclipse; the universe is speaking to you through subtle signs. It’s okay to not have all the answers immediately – eclipses unfold over weeks. For now, trust that what ends or begins in the shadows is clearing space for a brighter you to emerge.

Mid-August, you’ll feel the energy picking up and shifting gears. Mercury, your ruling planet, has been laying low in Leo (also in your twelfth house), making you a bit more quiet or introspective than usual. But by August 25th, Mercury marches into Virgo – your sign – and it’s like someone flips the lights on. Suddenly, you find your voice and clarity again. If you struggled earlier in the month to articulate your feelings (or simply preferred to observe), now you’re ready to speak up, make plans, and shine intellectually. This is a fantastic preview of your upcoming birthday vibes: you’re sharp, witty, and showing the world what you’ve been quietly working on. Before the Sun even enters Virgo, you might already feel that personal power returning. Use the last week of August to set intentions for your new year; Mercury in Virgo will help you plot your course with precision.

Meanwhile, love and money get their own cosmic boosts. Venus spends most of August in Libra – the sign of balance and beauty – highlighting your income and values sector starting August 6th. You might notice a bit more cash flow (perhaps a delayed payment finally arrives or a side gig picks up steam), and you’ll certainly feel inclined to treat yourself. Just keep one eye on the budget; Venus in Libra can encourage high-end tastes! The plus side? It’s an excellent time to negotiate a raise or price your services confidently. You know your worth, and others are recognizing it too. On the romantic front, Mars is stirring things up in your social circles after August 11th when it enters Cancer. You could be motivated to rally friends for a cause or throw a summer soirée. Just be mindful: Mars can also spark conflicts if egos clash in a group setting, so practice your diplomatic Virgo charm if drama brews among your pals.

All of this leads to the grand finale: a Full Moon lunar eclipse in Pisces on August 28th. This eclipse lands directly in your partnership sector, marking a turning point in a key relationship. Lunar eclipses tend to bring matters to culmination or decision. Over the past two years, you’ve experienced eclipses on the Virgo-Pisces axis (affecting “me vs we”), and this is one of the climactic moments of that story. For some Virgos, this could mean taking a partnership to the next level – maybe an engagement, a proposal to collaborate, or a public acknowledgment of a bond that’s grown strong. For others, it might signal an ending – a chapter with someone closes because it’s run its course or because you’ve grown in different directions. Emotions run high during eclipses, so give yourself and others plenty of grace. If you experience conflict with a significant other or business partner, step back and wait for the dust to settle before making final judgments. It’s possible that what happens now is ultimately liberating: freeing you from old relationship patterns and preparing you for healthier dynamics ahead. A relationship that survives and thrives under this eclipse is likely one that’s truly meant to be in your life moving forward.

By August 22nd, the Sun enters Virgo, heralding the official start of your season – and wow, you will have earned this fresh start. As you blow out candles (or prepare to in September), you’ll be doing so with a sense that a big weight has been lifted. You’ve shed what you no longer need and clarified who stands with you as true allies. The final days of August might still feel a bit intense, but Mercury in your sign helps you analyze and integrate these big changes with a clear mind. Lean on your closest friends or your journal to process everything; you’ll find that you’re ending the month wiser, lighter, and ready to step into your personal new year with authenticity.

August is undoubtedly dramatic, but it’s setting the stage for your grand entrance, Virgo. Trust the process. Sometimes life needs to shake and shimmer (like a glitter snow globe) before the beautiful new scene settles into place. And when the dust of these eclipses clears, you’ll see that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be – with the right people by your side and a bright path ahead. Happy early birthday, Virgo!
