Astrology for July 31-August 6 2026

Chiron retrograde in Taurus 0º, Venus Enters Libra

On July 31, the Moon moves through the sign of Pisces, inviting a subtle sense of surrender. The Moon’s position indicates the emotional frequency of the collective, and in Pisces it can get quite ethereal. It can spark creativity, a desire to dive into the muses, but just the same, it can trigger a ‘what’s the point?’ attitude and a nose dive into escapism. In either manifestation, we are invited to be mutable, changeable, and a little dreamy. In the afternoon, the Moon will square Uranus in Gemini at 4º and this is where we can catch a few hours of mood swings. Erratic shifts in emotional tone that may lead to important reflections or time alone. 

On August 3, Chiron stations retrograde in Taurus at 0º until January 6, 2027. Chiron governs our deepest wounds and most potent medicine. The wounded healer asteroid will turn energies inward and ask for some reflection about how far we have come in our individual and collective healing journeys. In the sign of Taurus, these reflections will be around our wallets, our resources, and all ways that we relate to our values. As old systems crumble or resources become unstable, where do you go? How do you respond? How do you prepare? It’s time to look within at the ways in which old programs are running our lives, especially the way we work with money and materials. Where do you feel unworthy or undeserving? Why? Where do those beliefs come from? Do you walk with fists or open hands? How strong is your ability to ask for help in a time of need? This cycle will encourage a deep dive into the healing work required to rewire thoughts, beliefs and actions in these areas. As Chiron moves retrograde, it will back into the sign of Aries on September 17 until it stations direct in Aries on January 6, 2027 at 26º. This is the final stretch of the Chiron in Aries transit that began in 2018. What have you healed in terms of confidence since then? Aligning with your desires? Tempering impulsivity? With the Moon moving through conjunctions to Neptune retrograde and Saturn retrograde in Aries, the inner reflections that kick off today will pull focus. Look at your personal birth chart to find any planets or points in early fixed signs (Leo, Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus), as this day may feel heavier to those placements. 

On August 6, Venus enters Libra until September 10. Venus is at home in the sign of Libra, strengthening the capacity for beauty, joy and pleasure to be experienced in relationships and one-on-one alliances. From business to romance, this transit smiles on those willing to play fair. We are more inclined to be inclusive, play devil’s advocate, and see all sides to a problem. Venus in Libra loves a link up, so this is a ripe season for dating, business meetings, and like-minded collaborations. There is a sense of diplomacy and elegance that can be felt (or desired) in our exchanges. The goal of this position is balance. Is the me getting as much attention as the we? Lean into romance, lean into love, but avoid codependent tendencies or over compromising. Indulge in some one-on-one time with loved ones. Invite conversations that reveal differences. Art as nourishment. Connection as luxury. 

On August 6, the Sun in Leo trines Saturn retrograde in Aries at 14º. Fire sign trines help move established dynamics forward. The Sun in Leo is creative and focused on self-expression, while Saturn retrograde is working through an internal audit of self-responsibilities. If there is something creative, inspiring, or connected to our personal mission that needs a productive push, this should do it relatively effortlessly. Discipline, drive, and a wind in your sails. Focus the energy of the day into something you want to make progress on. The Moon moving through Taurus will help temper the pace. Slow and steady wins the race, but make a move.
