Whether or not you believe in the stars, monthly forecasts usually resonate in some way. Our regular star-sign monthly horoscopes by Sharan (tarotbysharan.com) are actually based on tarot, so they’re a little bit different. We’ve been a fan of Sharan for years, so, if you’re in need of a little guidance, she might just be the card for you!
Horoscopes for August 2026
LEO (23 Jul – 22 Aug)
The month begins with a new opportunity in your career or business. However, there is hesitation in moving forward, largely driven by fear of the unknown and the comfort of staying where you are. Letting go of what feels familiar won’t be easy, even though you recognise this opportunity has the potential to bring greater security, stability and longterm success.
Virgo (23 Aug – 22 Sep)
This month is about facing how you truly feel about a relationship. It’s time to be honest with yourself and acknowledge that the imbalance within it has left you feeling emotionally disappointed. While this realisation may be difficult, it also eases your anxiety because you finally know where you stand and what needs to happen next.
Sagittarius (22 Nov – 21 Dec)
The month begins with tension, where you find yourself out of alignment with someone or a situation. Rather than being drawn into conflict, you choose to take control and move forward with confidence, overcoming the obstacles in your way. Support and collaboration will make it easier to achieve your goals.
Capricorn (22 Dec – 19 Jan)
Things move quickly this month, but not everything is as clear as it first appears. Miscommunication may create a disconnect with someone, leaving you uncertain about where you stand. Once the lack of clarity lifts, an opportunity emerges to nurture something that offers long-term stability and growth.
Aquarius (20 Jan – 18 Feb)
August encourages you to step back and check in with yourself before allowing emotions to take over. Through reflection, you begin to recognise where you’ve been carrying too much on your own. Once you acknowledge what needs to change, you can create more balance, leading to greater stability, support and a stronger sense of peace.
Pisces (19 Feb – 20 Mar)
There may be a sense this month of things not flowing or growing as you would like, with delays or emotional blocks affecting your sense of progress. Rather than pushing forward, you’re being encouraged to observe, learn and understand what is really going on beneath the surface. The past may also play a role, bringing reflection or old connections back into focus. Clarity comes from awareness rather than force.
Libra (23 Sep – 22 Oct)
Past disappointment and emotional blocks may be holding you back from achieving success this month. Even if an opportunity for growth is presented, you may not fully see it if you don’t shift your perspective or if you continue holding onto what is familiar, even though it is no longer serving you positively.
Scorpio (23 Oct – 21 Nov)
The month starts with delays or dissatisfaction, as things don’t turn out as expected. But you soon begin to understand the source of the block and work on removing the obstacles in your way to achieve the result you want. The month ends with you feeling more confident and in control of the direction and outcome.
Aries (21 Mar – 19 Apr)
As you embark on a fresh start and take a leap into the unknown, be aware of the opportunities already around you rather than feeling the need to reinvent the wheel. Don’t be distracted or overwhelmed by shiny possibilities or choices that look better than they really are. Most importantly, avoid letting your emotions cloud your judgement when making important decisions this month.
Taurus (20 Apr – 20 May)
This month is about recognising your own superpower – your capability, skill and steadfastness. At times you may feel like you can’t hold your ground anymore, but you’re being encouraged to keep standing firm, even when external pressures build. Trust your ability to stay anchored and protect what you’ve worked for.
Gemini (21 May – 20 Jun)
Success is on the horizon this month. Your hard work will pay off, and you are likely to be recognised for your efforts. While pursuing your goals, there is a reminder to keep your mind and emotions in balance and to pace yourself. Burnout and exhaustion may become a real challenge if you push too hard without rest, so steady progress will be more sustainable than forcing momentum.
Cancer (21 Jun – 22 Jul)
You find yourself toying with an idea this month. There is a lot of pause and reflection as you weigh the pros and cons and consider whether your efforts will pay off in the end. This is a period of careful evaluation, where you’re being asked to make sure your choices are balanced, fair and truly aligned with what you want long term.
