Weekly Guidance
10th to 16th August 2026

Aries – Queen of Fire - This week, you are being encouraged to reconnect with your inner fire — your passion, confidence, creativity and belief in yourself. You already carry the spark you need, you don't have to force things into happening. With the Lion's Gate energy still active until around 12th of August and a powerful Leo New Moon Solar Eclipse arriving on 12th/13th August, this is a time for reflection, inspiration and becoming clear about what you truly want to create next. Rather than rushing into heavy manifestation or ritual work, allow your intentions to form naturally. Listen to what your heart is telling you. Journal, visualise, meditate, notice synchronicities and pay attention to the ideas that keep returning to you. The universe is reminding you that you don't have to do everything alone. The right people can inspire you, encourage your creativity and help bring a shared vision to life. 💫Astrologically, Saturn and Neptune are both retrograde in Aries, while Pluto is retrograde in Aquarius. The Total Solar eclipse in Leo as well as Jupiter also in Leo, for Aries, this is a time to “pause, observe and realign” rather than a “push forward” week. You do not have to completely lay low but maybe do not force any major decisions, launches or intense manifestation work during the eclipse window.

Taurus – 2 of Earth – The beginning of the week may feel as though you are juggling several things at once, but the message isn't to control everything — it's to move with the changing energy. With the Lion’s Gate portal closing around 12 August and the powerful Leo eclipse following, Taurus may benefit from keeping things simple and allowing circumstances to unfold rather than trying to force an outcome. This is also a good week to reassess priorities. Ask yourself what genuinely deserves your energy and what can wait. The eclipse may bring a shift in your values, resources, home or sense of security, encouraging you to look at where you may need greater balance. Rather than undertaking heavy rituals or pushing hard to manifest something during the eclipse window, Taurus could use this period to observe, journal, meditate and become clear about what they want to create next. Let your intentions settle before taking significant action. Keep your feet on the ground, stay flexible and allow the eclipse energy to show you what needs to be rearranged before you make your next big move. 💫Astrologically, Taurus will be affected around home, family, emotional security and your foundations. This week will be less about rushing outward and more about asking, 'What kind of life and home environment do I truly want to build? This is a week for staying grounded, keeping life manageable and allowing things to settle before making major commitments.
​

Gemini – The Hermit – You may find yourself craving more quiet time or feeling less interested in the noise and opinions of others. This isn't about withdrawing from life completely, it's about creating enough space to hear what your intuition is trying to tell you. You may be tempted to make quick decisions or act on exciting new ideas. The Hermit says there is no need to rush. Allow things to reveal themselves. What looks unclear now may make much more sense once the eclipse energy has settled. ✨This is an excellent week for journaling, meditation, contemplation and reviewing where you are heading. You may receive an important insight simply by giving yourself permission to be still. 💫In astrology. the Leo Solar Eclipse on 12/13th August can stimulate Gemini's communication, learning, conversations and way of thinking. The combination of Mars and Uranus suggests Gemini should be mindful of acting or speaking too quickly. There can be excitement and inspiration, but also mental restlessness or a tendency to overthink. With Saturn and Neptune retrograde in Aries and Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, there is also a broader theme of reviewing long-term goals, friendships, beliefs and the direction you're heading.

Cancer – 9 of Air  –  This week the universe encourages you to separate intuition from anxiety. Not every thought deserves your attention, and not every concern is a prediction of what is to come. With the powerful eclipse energy around this week, emotions may feel heightened. Rather than trying to find immediate answers or make everything certain, give yourself permission to pause, breathe and let things unfold. Journaling, meditation, rest and spending quiet time away from outside noise can be especially helpful. You are not powerless, changing the way you think about a situation can change how you experience it. This is a week to quiet the mind rather than feed the worry. What feels overwhelming now may look very different once you have given yourself some space and perspective. 💫Astrology, Mars enters Cancer on 11th of August, bringing an increase in personal energy, and determination. You may feel more ready to stand up for yourself and take action, but it's important not to react impulsively. The Leo Total Solar Eclipse on 12/13th August highlights money, self-worth, values and what gives you a sense of security.  
​

Leo – Messenger of Fire – This week something may be igniting within you — a new idea, desire, creative project, opportunity or simply a renewed sense of excitement about your future. You may feel ready to move forward, but the message is to follow the spark without needing to have the entire journey mapped out. The Lion’s Gate energy can be used as a time to reflect on what you are ready to step into, while the eclipse encourages you to remain open to unexpected changes and new beginnings. Rather than pushing hard to manifest a specific outcome, set your intentions, listen to your intuition and allow the universe to show you the next step. This is also a reminder to believe in yourself. Don't dismiss an idea simply because it feels new or unfamiliar. Sometimes the first spark of inspiration is the beginning of something much bigger. 💫Astrology, this is one of the most significant weeks of the year for Leo. The Lion’s Gate energy is winding down just as the Total Solar Eclipse/New Moon occurs on 12/13th August, placing Leo right at the centre of the cosmic spotlight. Try not to force things during the eclipse itself. Instead, use the 10th–12th to notice what is coming up emotionally and intuitively. After the eclipse, allow the dust to settle before making major decisions or pushing a new venture. The eclipse can mark a turning point, but what begins around this time may take weeks or months to fully reveal itself.

Virgo – 4 of Fire –This week brings a beautiful message of stability, celebration, connection and creating a sense of belonging. You are encouraged to recognise how far you've come and appreciate the people, relationships and circumstances that provide a solid foundation in your life. With the Lion’s Gate portal closing around 12th of August and the powerful Leo Solar Eclipse following, Virgo may find that something is shifting behind the scenes. Rather than feeling that you need to immediately take action, the universe is encouraging you to ground yourself and appreciate what is already working. This can also be a wonderful time to celebrate a milestone, spend time with loved ones, nurture your home environment or simply create more peace and harmony around you. 💫Astrology, for Virgo, this is more of a quiet preparation and reflection week than a time to push ahead. The Leo Solar Eclipse on 12/13th August falls in the more private, behind-the-scenes, making it a good period for rest, release, healing and clearing out what has been draining your energy. The eclipse is better used for reflection, meditation, journaling and quietly setting intentions rather than trying to force outcomes. ✨With Saturn and Neptune retrograde in Aries and Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, there is a deeper theme of reviewing boundaries, shared responsibilities, work and wellbeing.
​

Libra – High Priestess -  with the Lion’s Gate portal closing around 12th of August and the powerful Leo Solar Eclipse occurring around the same time, there may be a lot happening beneath the surface. Libra, you may sense that something is changing, even if the full picture isn't yet visible. Your connection to your intuition, compassion, empathy, and inner wisdom will be powerful at this time. Some information may need time to reveal itself, and trying to make decisions before you have all the pieces could create unnecessary confusion. Pay attention to dreams, synchronicities, gut feelings and those quiet inner nudges. This is a wonderful week for meditation, journaling, spiritual practices and simply creating some quiet space for yourself. Not a great time to do heavy ritual work around the eclipse. 💫Astrology, Venus, your ruling planet, is travelling through Libra, which can bring greater awareness of relationships, self-worth, beauty and what creates balance in your life. The major event is the Leo Total Solar Eclipse on 12/13th of August, which highlights friendships, groups, community and your longer-term hopes and aspirations. Something may be shifting in terms of who you want around you and what future you are building. 

​

Scorpio – The Empress - This week brings a beautiful message of growth, abundance, creativity, nurturing and allowing life to unfold naturally. This isn't a week to force outcomes, it's about creating the right conditions for something new to grow. Time to nurture yourself, pay attention to your emotional needs, your home, relationships and anything that helps you feel grounded and supported. You may also experience a renewed surge of creativity or become clearer about something you would love to bring into your life. Rather than undertaking heavy manifestation or ritual work around the eclipse, focus on gratitude, visualisation, gentle intention-setting and trusting the natural timing of what you are creating. 💫Astrology, this may be a powerful but potentially transformative week for Scorpio, particularly because the Leo Total Solar Eclipse on 12/13th of August occurs in a fixed sign and Scorpio is a fixed sign bringing attention to career, public life and recognition. Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, Scorpio's ruler, adds a deeper theme of reviewing your foundations and what needs to change beneath the surface.  Saturn and Neptune retrograde in Aries encourage reassessment of work, routines and how you use your energy. Trust the transformation taking place and release what has completed its purpose. Nurture the new path that is beginning to unfold.

Sagittarius – 10 of Air - This week brings a powerful message of completion, release and moving beyond something that has run its course. A chapter may be coming to an end, maybe a way of thinking, a situation, relationship dynamic or old pattern that has been weighing heavily on you. With the Lion’s Gate portal closing around 12 August and the Leo Solar Eclipse occurring at the same time, this feels like an especially appropriate week for Sagittarius to release rather than force. You don't need to carry something simply because you have carried it for a long time. This isn't necessarily negative, it can represent the moment when you recognise that the old story no longer needs to define you. This is a good week for letting go, forgiveness, clearing mental clutter and consciously choosing what you don't want to take into your next chapter. Rather than heavy rituals or trying to immediately manifest something new, allow the eclipse energy to help you close the door on what has already finished. Time to put down the weight of the past. 💫Astrology, this is a week of reassessment and release for Sagittarius. The Leo Total Solar Eclipse on 12/13th of August brings fresh energy around beliefs, learning, travel, spirituality and your vision for the future. It can feel like an invitation to broaden your horizons, but the full direction may not be clear immediately. Avoid rushing into major decisions during the eclipse window. This is more about recognising what has run its course, releasing old beliefs or expectations, and allowing a new vision to develop.

Capricorn – Transformation - This week brings a message of deep change, renewal and releasing what has completed its purpose. This isn't necessarily about sudden upheaval, it can be a gradual inner shift where you realise that an old version of yourself, a situation or a way of doing things no longer fits who you're becoming. With the powerful Leo Solar Eclipse occurring on the 12/13th August, Capricorn may find that something hidden beneath the surface is ready to change. You just need to trust the process rather than resist it. Transformation often requires letting go of the need to control exactly how things unfold. What is leaving your life may simply be making room for something more aligned. Use this week for reflection, releasing old patterns, journaling and setting gentle intentions rather than trying to force a particular outcome through heavy ritual or manifestation. Allow the eclipse energy to reveal what needs to be transformed. 💫Astrology, this may be a deeply transformative week for Capricorn, with the Leo Total Solar Eclipse on 12/13th of August highlighting the area of shared finances, intimacy, trust, emotional bonds and deep personal transformation. It may bring up what you need to release, where you are giving too much of yourself, or what needs to change in an important relationship or financial arrangement. Don't force the transformation — allow it. The eclipse may show you what needs to change, while the weeks ahead reveal what that change is making possible.
​

Aquarius – Ace of Air - This week may bring a powerful message of clarity, truth, fresh ideas and a breakthrough in thinking. Something that has felt confusing or uncertain may suddenly become easier to understand, giving you a clearer sense of what you want and where you're heading. You may receive a new perspective or realisation. You may suddenly see a situation differently or recognise that it's time to think about your future in a new way. It is important to speak your truth and trust your mental clarity, but there's no need to rush into action. Let the eclipse energy settle and give yourself time to distinguish between a genuine insight and a temporary emotional reaction. Use this week for journaling, meditation, brainstorming and writing down new ideas. A thought or conversation that seems small now could become the seed of something significant later. 💫Astrology, the total Solar Eclipse in Leo on 12/13th of August places a strong focus on relationships, partnerships, close connections and agreements. ✨Pluto retrograde in Aquarius adds another layer of personal transformation. You may be reassessing who you are becoming, what you are no longer willing to compromise on, and which relationships genuinely support the person you are evolving into.
This could also bring new beginnings or revelations in relationships, but keep in mind that eclipses often reveal their significance over time. Give yourself space to observe rather than making impulsive decisions.

Pisces – 2 of Water - This week brings a beautiful message of connection, harmony, emotional balance and meaningful relationships. It may highlight an important partnership or bring an opportunity to deepen an existing connection through honesty, understanding and mutual support. With the Leo Solar Eclipse occurring at the same time, emotions and relationships may take on greater significance. You could experience a realisation about what — and who — truly matters to you. This is also a message of healing and reconciliation. If there has been distance or misunderstanding in a relationship, this can be a good time to approach the situation with compassion rather than trying to prove who is right. Gentle reflection, meditation, gratitude and setting heartfelt intentions may be more beneficial than heavy ritual work this week. 💫Astrology, with the Leo total Solar Eclipse on 12/13th of August it highlights your everyday world — work, routines, wellbeing and how you manage your energy. The message for Pisces is to bring balance into your daily life. You may become more aware of where you're overextending yourself, carrying too many responsibilities or neglecting your own needs. ✨Mars moves into Cancer around 11th of August, bringing more energy into creativity, pleasure, romance and things that make your heart happy.
