General for Week Commencing: Monday 31 August 2026

	Aries	Monday 31 August 2026	Mar 21 - Apr 19
On the other side of an eclipsing Full Moon that saw the Sun and Moon clash in a way that put to the test how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off to the test, there is a chance to put the reminders this brought into practice. While things will take a busier turn midweek and there will be positive conditions on the income, work and career fronts, overriding everything is a friendly aspect between Jupiter in a playful and creative part of your chart and Saturn in Aries. This is the first time that the two most powerful planets in the solar system have formed this friendly trine aspect in 12 years anywhere in your chart, let alone here. This is a coming together of Saturn’s resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes and Jupiter’s resolve to see you follow your heart. Other trends and themes will come and go, but this is here to stay. As this is just the first of three times that Jupiter and Saturn will come together over the next 12 months, they will be staying close.

	Taurus	Monday 31 August 2026	Apr 20 - May 20
While life is already starting to take a busier turn and even more so from next week, there are some timely reminders throughout the course of the week and means to answer the call. While a clash between Venus in your busy work sector and the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart won’t begin until Thursday, will peak on Friday and then wane over the weekend, her clash with the Moon on Tuesday will give a heads up. Especially when it comes to any work/life balance reminders this might bring. However, helping to keep things balanced is not only having the Sun and Mercury in a playful and creative part of your chart, but drawing closer to a friendly aspect to the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment, in an adventurous part. With the Moon set to form a friendly aspect to all three when it moves through Taurus from Tuesday to Thursday, in the heart of the working week, the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence will be working to balance the growing support on the income, work and career fronts.

	Gemini	Monday 31 August 2026	May 21 - Jun 21
After Mercury, the planet of communication left your communication sector last Tuesday and the Sun two days before, the focus has shifted off their efforts to get the communication lines open and onto Jupiter’s long term efforts to keep them open. As Jupiter moves into his first full week on his own, he has some serious support, the kind that once locked in is here to stay. By the time you move into the new working week, Jupiter has already moved into a friendly aspect to Saturn in your sector of friendship, teamwork and networking. It is having the Moon here and connecting with all three planets in your friendship sector as it moves through that will get a powerful week for connecting off to an empowered start. Meanwhile, while the Moon left your career sector over the weekend, having returned last Friday as an eclipsing Full Moon, as you wait for Venus’ return to your work sector next week and the start of the first planetary activity on the job front this year, this has been the shot in the arm your professional year has been waiting for.

	Cancer	Monday 31 August 2026	Jun 22 - Jul 22
Moving into the new working week with the Moon in your career sector is always an advantage, but this is doing more than just ensuring your professional instincts are sharp from the start. Instead, the Moon is here, keeping you emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware, with your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground and a front row seat to a major alliance between Saturn here and Jupiter in your income sector that is building towards its peak on Tuesday. It has been 12 years since Jupiter and Saturn, the two most powerful planets in the solar system last moved into this positive trine aspect anywhere in your chart, let alone here. Yet this is just the first of three times they will come together and between now and 2027, this is the start of a partnership that will shape the next 12 months. Meanwhile, until Venus returns to a playful and creative part of your chart next week, while the Moon left over the weekend, its return to an adventurous part of your chart last Friday as an eclipsing Full Moon has helped to create some balance.

	Leo	Monday 31 August 2026	Jul 23 - Aug 22
While the Moon’s return to your career sector from Tuesday to Thursday will not only bring together and energise things on the income, work and career fronts, but after clashing as a Full Moon, will put the Sun and Moon back in harmony, developments at the start of the week are going to keep things balanced. It was the Moon’s return to your financial sector last Friday as an eclipsing Full Moon that put pressure on the Sun and Mercury in their early days in your income sector. While this may have created some financial tension, it has left both sides of the financial fence energised. This makes the Moon’s return to your career sector on Tuesday and a friendly aspect to the Sun and Mercury a chance to restore your confidence while connecting with the team of planets active across the income, work and career fronts. However, the Moon not only begins the week in an adventurous part of your chart, but just as a friendly aspect between Saturn here and Jupiter, moving into his first full week on his own in Leo is building towards its peak on Tuesday. This is going to keep things balanced.

	Virgo	Monday 31 August 2026	Aug 23 - Sep 22
Helping to not only get the week off to an empowered start but giving a serious boost to a chance to take your financial power back that began earlier in the year is a major alliance between Saturn and Jupiter, the two most powerful planets in the solar system. It was in January that Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams returned to spend the next 13 years in your financial sector and a few weeks later Saturn, the planet with the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes. Saturn is here until April 2028, but it was Jupiter’s return to an intuitive and imaginative part of your chart in June that put him in harmony with both. Having already connected with Neptune, it is Jupiter’s friendly aspect to Saturn that peaks on Tuesday that is the game changer. This is a coming together of the ability to take your financial power back and the belief that you can. Meanwhile, as you move into the second week of your birthday month and new solar year, there are not only positive signs on the income, work and career fronts but on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence as well.

	Libra	Monday 31 August 2026	Sep 23 - Oct 23
To say that the week gets off to an empowered start when it comes to personal and professional networking, friendship and relationship building is an understatement. The week not only begins with the Moon in your relationship sector, but just as a friendly aspect between Saturn here and Jupiter in your sector of friendship, teamwork and networking is building towards its peak on Tuesday. These are the two most powerful planets in the solar system and it is also anything but a fleeting event. While it has been 12 years since Jupiter and Saturn last formed this aspect, this is the first of three times they will come together over the next 12 months, making this the start of a powerful partnership. This is something that as Venus, the planet of love reaches her last full week in Libra, she will be using to define your relationship expectations, with the bar now being raised. Meanwhile, after last Friday’s eclipsing Full Moon that gave job and career matters a shot in the arm, this is helping to position you for new developments on the income front next week.

	Scorpio	Monday 31 August 2026	Oct 24 - Nov 21
While starting the week with the Moon in your work sector will always be an advantage, it is in the right place at the right time. As well as a chance to begin the week with your instincts sharp, finger on the pulse and ear to the ground from the start, the Moon is here, keeping you emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware and giving you a front row seat to a major alliance building towards its peak on Tuesday. This is something that has been gradually inching closer since Jupiter returned in June to begin what he will be working to make your biggest year for professional growth and expansion in over a decade. As the two most powerful planets in the solar system, as Jupiter teams up with Saturn, the planet with the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes in your work sector, this is the start of something that will impact the next 12 months. Meanwhile, helping to keep things balanced is having Mars and the dwarf planet Ceres in an adventurous part of your chart and the eclipsing Full Moon in a playful and creative part of your chart that ran its course over the weekend.

	Sagittarius	Monday 31 August 2026	Nov 22 - Dec 21
The eclipsing Full Moon that delivered one last powerful work/life balance reminder before running its course over the weekend couldn’t have come with better timing. For if there is one week when having the right work/life balance guardrails in place is important, it is this. On the one hand, while the eclipsing Full Moon clashed with the Sun and Mercury in your career sector, by the time the Moon moves through your work sector from Tuesday to Thursday, this will put them back in harmony. In the heart of the working week, this will also put the support between planets on the income, work and career fronts on full display. However, the week not only begins with the Moon in a playful and creative part of your chart, but as a friendly aspect between Saturn here and Jupiter in an adventurous part of your chart is building towards its peak on Tuesday. While the Moon is only passing through and other themes will come and go, this is a coming together of the two most powerful planets in the solar system in a way that will continue to power up the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence for the next 12 months.

	Capricorn	Monday 31 August 2026	Dec 22 - Jan 19
While beginning the week with the Moon in your home and family sector puts the focus on things close to home from the start, just as there is something even more powerful building. Since Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams returned in January and Saturn, the planet with the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes a few weeks later, this has put a lot of weight on home and family matters while kicking off some powerful years. Why having the Moon here until Tuesday is significant, is that this is just as a friendly aspect between Saturn here and Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion in your financial sector is building towards its peak. After Mercury left last Tuesday and the Sun two days before, this is Jupiter’s first full week on his own and with the focus off mundane money matters and onto his quest for financial growth and expansion. As Saturn and Jupiter join forces, this is the start of a partnership that bodes well for financial matters on the home front for the next 12 months. Meanwhile, there is also growing support this week for the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence.

	Aquarius	Monday 31 August 2026	Jan 20 - Feb 18
The week not only begins with the Moon in your communication sector, but in the right place at the right time. While an ordinary monthly visit and something that every four weeks will make it easier to give your emotional responses a voice and to express yourself, the Moon is here, keeping you emotionally engaged and aware as a major alliance between Saturn here and Jupiter in your relationship sector builds towards its peak on Tuesday. A parade of planets that has moved through your relationship sector over recent months have all formed a friendly aspect to all three planets in your communication sector as they moved through. With the lunar nodes now policing a balance between your own and your relationship needs, this couldn’t be more important. However, the friendly aspect between Jupiter and Saturn is different. Not only are they the two most powerful planets in the solar system, but where other planets have connected and moved on, Jupiter and Saturn will remain connected and determined to keep the communication lines open on the relationship front for the next 12 months.

	Pisces	Monday 31 August 2026	Feb 19 - Mar 20
No matter what, having the Moon in your income sector until Tuesday was going to get the new working week off to a positive start on the income and job fronts. However, it is the timing that takes this to a whole new level. As it does when it returns every four weeks, the Moon will be working to sharpen your nose for money and act as a trigger, but this is also keeping you emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware while giving you a front row seat to a major alliance between Saturn in your income sector and Jupiter in your work sector that is building towards its peak on Tuesday. That this is just the first of three times Jupiter and Saturn will come together over the next 12 months, this is less a passing theme and something that is here to stay. Meanwhile, while the Moon left Pisces over the weekend, having returned last Friday as an eclipsing Full Moon, this has been both personally empowering and a chance to better understand what you want from your relationships and what they need from you.
