22 Dec – 20 Jan
Date: Friday 7th August 2026
You're probably justified in being proud of a task that's stretched your thinking. You might now need to celebrate with someone who really understands. Your workaholic sub-personality might need to be reminded of the importance of down-time whilst a late night movie or conversation could 'take your breath away'.
Date: Saturday 8th August 2026
You may be racing against the clock. Demand on your time is likely to be far greater than usual. Introduction to a group of people who could help you through a maze seems likely. Your thirst for knowledge may have grown in recent weeks and could prompt you to attend a course. On top of this, you might have cause to be cautiously optimistic that a financial deal is going to work out better than you could have hoped.
Date: Sunday 9th August 2026
A topsy-turvy feel to the day could be caused by a partner who receives news that requires them to make an instant decision. Whereas your own diary management might be excellent, you may need now to allow for a degree of crisis management. An extra journey is likely. It's possible too that you'll make contact with someone who works in a highly technical environment and who may have good ideas for plans you've been trying to draw up for some time.
Week: Sunday 2nd August – Saturday 8th August 2026
Later this week, Mercury returns to the position it held prior to its retrograde period. This is catch-up time. That this event coincides with Venus' arrival at the apex or career point of your solar chart, suggests that soon you will come up with a plan that is very different to one proposed at the start of the year. You have had time to reflect and now know what you're revised aims are. Focus now has to be on getting the right team behind you. In this respect you may find that is a relative or very close friend who alerts you to a fledgling opportunity. This might require you to improve your knowledge and undertake a course of study that starts after the lunar eclipse next month. This week seems to be about determining which course would be most suitable.
