While the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of August in a playful and creative part of your chart before returning to spend the rest of the month in your busy work sector, that annual shift has already begun. However, this year this is not only more muted but will never completely happen. By the time the Sun returned last month, it was to find that Venus had already moved through and that at the end of June Jupiter, the largest and most powerful planet in the solar system had returned. The Sun might leave on 23rd August, but the Sun is not only here until July 2027, but in the closing hours of July the South Node returned.
Not only is the South Node here until March 2028, working with Jupiter to keep the playful and creative side of life’s fence alive and energised, but having it here means that when the Moon moves through from 11th August to 13th August, instead of creating an ordinary New Moon, it will turn this into a total solar eclipse. At the same time, before the Sun can return to your work sector, Venus not only begins the month here, having left at the end of March the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment will retrograde back into your career sector on 12th August.
Venus will leave on 7th August, but things will remain on a slow boil across the income, work and career fronts all month. This isn’t enough to upset the balance between work and play, which is good news, for on 7th August Venus will return to begin the first planetary activity on the relationship front this year. Rather than the usual 24 day visit by the planet of love, a retrograde turn will eventually see her influence stretch all the way out to early December. While Mars will leave your communication sector on 11th December and the dwarf planet Ceres on 13th August, Venus will benefit from the time and energy they have put into getting the communication lines open.

Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of August in your romantic sector, the solar spotlight is always on matters of the heart and all things romantic at this time of year. However, this year things not only had a head start, but by the time the Sun returned, it was to find Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion here and the early weeks of what he is working to make your luckiest year for love, matters of the heart and all things romantic in over a decade already underway. By the time Jupiter returned at the end of June Venus, the planet of love had been here for over two weeks and was gone by the time the Sun returned last month.
Yet while Venus got the ball rolling, events since then are setting the scene for something even more special this month. It was late last month and four days after the Sun returned that the South Node returned to your romantic sector, something that over the next 20 months will give matters of the heart an anchor while at the same time, turning the New Moon when the Moon moves through from 11th August to 13th August into a total solar eclipse. To have both a total solar eclipse and Jupiter in your romantic sector is a rare chance to bring the element of fate and luck together, while creating an opportunity for major new beginnings.
Meanwhile, Venus’ early return to your romantic sector this year will be repeated when, on 7th August, she becomes the first planet to return to your relationship sector since last year. Nearly seven weeks before the Sun is due to return on the September equinox, returning this early will have implications. Already, Venus will be slowing down ahead of a retrograde turn that, instead of moving through in 24 days will keep the planet of love here for over five weeks, while a retrograde turn will see her return in October to spend another six weeks here. This is something you will get a better read on when the Moon moves through your relationship sector from 16th August to 18th August.

This isn’t exactly a slow month or point of the financial year, but a month where there is a chance to begin a transition from one side of the financial fence to the other. Until now, all the planetary activity has been on the income side of the financial fence and not just this year, with Uranus in your income sector for seven years by the time he left at the end of April. Since then the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars and even the dwarf planet Ceres have moved through, all keeping things active while adding their own influence. When Mars left at the end of June, this should have ended all planetary activity on the income side of the financial fence.
Instead, nine days before Mars left the asteroid Chiron, the planet of wisdom, knowledge and healing returned for the first time in five decades. Chiron is not here to make things happen or to advance things, with his focus more on learning and with so much water having passed under the bridge, there is a lot to process. Chiron’s retrograde turn on 4th August will begin to focus more on reviewing the journey so far but will also see him retrograde back out next month. The Moon’s return from 5th August to 7th August will help with that transition, while ensuring your nose for money is sharp in the lead up to Venus, the planet of money’s departure from your work sector on 7th August.
Meanwhile, while there is no planetary activity on the other side of the financial fence, the side where it is more about what you do with and how you manage the money you have, it is waiting in the wings for its turn. While not returning to your financial sector until next month, instead of racing through in 24 days, a retrograde turn will keep Venus here for the majority of the rest of the year. Until then, the Moon’s return to your financial sector from 18th August to 20th August will be a chance to sharpen your financial instincts and check in on money matters.
