ASTRO ADVICE WEEKLY by Eugenia Last

August 9 – 15, 2026

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your ego and emotions will cost you on the 9th and 10th if you aren’t up front regarding how you feel and what you are comfortable doing. Set standards and boundaries, and choose to be open with those whom you want to maintain good relationships. On the 11th and 12th, you have carte blanche when it comes to social events, popularity and spreading joy, love, compassion and help to people and concerns that matter to you. Commitment will enhance and stabilize your life. Don’t be too quick to make a financial or professional move on the 13th, 14th and 15th. Focus on what you enjoy doing most, and look for a way to use your skills to make a difference. Communication is encouraged, but following through is essential.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Put more energy into fixing up your space and preparing yourself for advancement on the 9th and 10th. A minimalist attitude coupled with intelligence and the ability to let go of what you no longer use will help you find the freedom you desire to follow your heart. Choose your words carefully on the 11th and 12th, especially when dealing with those you live with or interact with in social settings. Indulgence will lead to emotional disaster. Choose physical self-improvement over complaining and criticizing. A positive attitude on the 13th, 14th and 15th will win you favors and help you get ahead. A gesture of friendliness will gain allies and alleviate the distress caused by not knowing how others will respond.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Think, ask questions, summarize and be the one to initiate what happens next on the 9th and 10th. How you take command will determine your popularity and your romantic returns. An energetic pep talk will motivate others to see things your way and join you. Push your agenda on the 11th and 12th, and you’ll not only make headway, you’ll also impress someone who can offer worthwhile suggestions. An opportunity will improve your attitude and your lifestyle. An abrupt move or change on the 13th, 14th and 15th will set you back emotionally. Be honest with yourself and others before you unveil your plans. A change of heart will catch you off guard and leave you in limbo.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Look at the downside of a situation before you weigh the pros and cons and make a move on the 9th and 10th. Troubles at home will cost you emotionally if you aren’t realistic and honest about what transpires. Own up to what you are responsible for before someone makes accusations. Put more creativity and thought into how you earn your living and fulfill your obligations professionally on the 11th and 12th. A domestic change should help fix frustration and anger, not add to it. Research, learn and address unfinished business on the 13th, 14th and 15th. Invest more in yourself, your living arrangements and your ability to devise unusual alternatives that offer growth. Uncertainty requires action; proceed with your eyes open and your heart pointed in the right direction.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Keep your feelings to yourself on the 9th and 10th. The less others know about your plans, the easier it will be to get things done. Don’t be fooled by what others allude to or secondhand information. Emotional setbacks will unfold if you buy in to hype. Keep whatever you do simple enough that you can pursue your plans alone. You’ll learn valuable information if you kick back, listen and observe on the 11th and 12th. What you discover will help you jump-start your plans and fine-tune the results to suit your needs. Money management will matter on the 13th, 14th and 15th. Don’t let your generosity and ego lead to loss. Lavish spending will lead to regret. Refuse to let your spontaneity and desire to be loved cost you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Put a plan and a budget in place on the 9th and 10th before you visit online destinations that are geared to lure you to spend. Your highest return will come from donating your time to a cause that concerns you. Use your skills and experience to give back, and you’ll feel good about yourself. Work alone, be secretive and follow the rules on the 11th and 12th. Deal with institutions and authority figures directly and promptly. An emotional situation will prompt you to make a snap decision on the 13th, 14th and 15th. Stop, rethink, consider all outcomes and determine how you can ensure that you come out on top financially, physically or professionally. Put your energy to work and finish what you start.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A personal change will lift your spirits on the 9th and 10th. Update your appearance or focus on learning and applying your knowledge and experience to conquer your concerns. Refuse to let emotions lead to anger, denial or letting go of something you should fight for. Be a leader and make wise choices on the 11th and 12th instead of letting anger and ego push you in the wrong direction. Choose kindness, consideration and compassion as markers to exude and express to those you encounter. Sit back and learn on the 13th, 14th and 15th. How well you are informed will be what sets you on the right path. Refuse to let jealousy limit you or interfere with your plans. Choose charm over pettiness and love over discord.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Keep your concerns and plans to yourself on the 9th and 10th. Sharing too much information will stifle your ability to address what matters to you most. Hard work and discipline will be necessary to offset any jealousy or anger that’s looming. Observe and recognize when to cut your losses. On the 11th and 12th, an emotional confrontation with an associate will leave you in limbo if you don’t direct your time and energy into taking care of business while flying under the radar. Your best gains will come from letting others underestimate you. Realign yourself with people who share your concerns and your strategy on the 13th, 14th and 15th. You have plenty to gain if you surround yourself with the right people. Exude composure, not anger.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Temptation is the enemy on the 9th and 10th. Put decisions on hold until you have time to verify facts and research your best alternatives. Refuse to let emotions, money and medical issues collide, leaving you with impossible choices. Take the road less traveled on the 11th and 12th, and you’ll discover how creative, inspirational and powerful energy can open doors and set you on the best path. Refuse to let jealousy and ego take over. You’ll gain access to information that touches your emotions and concerns on the 13th, 14th and 15th. Reach out to family and friends with a kind word and comforting suggestions. A change will end up being better than anticipated. Embrace the future with an open mind, and you’ll surpass your expectations.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Keep the conversation going on the 9th and 10th if you want to resolve issues that concern you or you are looking for approval to move forward with your plans. Set your sights on research, being resourceful and removing yourself from situations that stand between you and your heart’s desires. Travel, learning and gathering information on the 11th and 12th can help you make better investment or medical choices if you are the one making the final decision. If you let others decide for you, expect to face regret and disappointment. No pain, no gain on the 13th, 14th and 15th. Recognize what’s necessary to propel your plans forward, and you’ll outmaneuver anyone trying to take over. Misinformation will lead to poor choices and anger.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Easy come, easy go on the 9th and 10th. Be careful with your money and possessions. Don’t sign anything without legal advice. Hidden costs are apparent; proceed with a tight budget. A physical improvement you want to make may have value, but it will also have a cause for alarm. Do your homework and err on the side of caution. On the 11th and 12th, you’ll be drawn toward people, places and pastimes that will enhance your chance to make new connections, opportunities and financial gains. An emotional problem at home will require innovative thinking on the 13th, 14th and 15th. Don’t let your ego get in the way when common sense needs to prevail. Reach out and follow through. Let go of the past and embrace the future with enthusiasm.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You can have fun on the 9th and 10th without overspending. Rely on your intuition and avoid letting anyone pressure you into a hasty decision. Find your happy place, do something creative and express your feelings and intentions to someone you want to spend more time with. A force play will push you from one set of circumstances to another on the 11th and 12th. Be ready to put your skills, energy and enthusiasm to the test and fix or change whatever is standing between you and the happiness you desire. Someone you least expect will show interest in you on the 13th, 14th and 15th. Don’t hesitate to find out what’s available and to take advantage of a situation that can make your life easier. Take responsibility for your happiness.
