Your Luckiest Day Ahead
Aries – August 12th
Transit: Venus conjunct Jupiter
Jupiter is traditionally considered the “Greater Benefic,” and Venus is the “Lesser Benefic.” When they conjoin, it’s one of the luckiest combos possible. For you, Aries, this is essential info because Venus and Jupiter are set to meet up on August 12th! When they meet up with fellow Fire sign Leo, you’ll find your energy and confidence get supercharged. This is your green light to say yes to the trip, the class, the spontaneous date, or the bold idea. You’re magnetic, confident, and open-hearted, and the Universe is ready to reward your bravery now.
For Aries Suns and Risings, this likely lights up your 5th house of pleasure, romance, creativity, and bold self-expression, one of the luckiest zones in your chart. If there were ever a day to take a risk on love, launch a passion project, or say yes to something that excites you, this is it. You thrive under big, heart-led energy, so this day has your name all over it.
Overall, love, luck, and abundance are waiting when you trust your gut and go big!
Taurus – August 25th
Transit: Venus trine Saturn
Venus is your ruling planet, so when she makes a powerful move, you feel it more than most.
On August 25th, Venus enters fiery Leo and immediately forms a supportive trine with Saturn in fellow Fire sign Aries. This alignment blends passion with maturity, offering you a rare chance to ground something beautiful into reality. Think long-term love, stable creative success, or a commitment that’s both exciting and secure. This is not a fleeting high, though; it’s real, lasting potential.
For Taurus Suns and Risings, this aspect activates your 4th and 12th houses, creating a window to solidify emotional bonds, secure your sense of home, or take a leap of faith in a deeply personal area. You may feel ready to invest in something (or someone) that offers you both comfort and growth. The energy is bold, but it’s also wise, and you thrive when both of those qualities come together.
Taurus, this is your cue to trust the process, own your worth, and say yes to what’s ready to last.
Gemini – August 18th
Transit: Mercury sextile Mars
Mercury is your ruling planet, and with it still retrograde until August 28th, you might be feeling like your usual spark has been stuck in slow motion.
In the meantime, August 18th offers a rare moment of momentum. Mercury in Leo forms a supportive sextile to Mars in Libra, helping you get your thoughts moving again and your voice back online. You may not have total clarity yet, but something clicks, and it clicks loud.
For Gemini Suns and Risings, this transit activates your 3rd and 5th houses, boosting your communication, creativity, and playful expression. Whether you’re pitching an idea, posting something meaningful, or saying something bold in love, your message has impact. It’s also a great day to clear the air, solve a problem, or take the lead on something you’re excited about.
You don’t need all the answers yet. Just say what you mean, dear Gemini, and let it carry you forward.

Cancer – August 26th
Transits: Venus trine Neptune, Venus sextile Uranus
This is a rare and beautiful day, Cancer. On August 26th, Venus, the planet of love and pleasure, forms two supportive aspects within hours of each other.

When Venus works with both Neptune and Uranus on the same day, you can expect nothing short of magic. It’s rare to get both of these energies at once (dream and delight) but here you are, right in the middle of the magic.
For Cancer Suns and Risings, this hits your 2nd, 9th, and 11th houses. That means themes of self-worth, personal growth, and meaningful relationships are lit up in a way that feels emotionally real and cosmically supported.
