As we dance into the fields of Virgo season, we venture into the last full week of August.
Virgo season is the last third of summer, which means before you know it, we will be closer to the onset of autumn here in the Northern Hemisphere. Where has 2026 gone? So much has happened, but also, at times, it might feel as if not as much has happened as we’ve wanted to. Just to prepare you: the planets once again begin to slow down in September and we will face long retrogrades of Venus and Mercury in the autumn.
Then, as we begin 2027, Mars, the planet of drive, will retrograde. This means that essentially from September 2026 until June 2027 we are in a period that I call “the vortex of the past,” where situations, relationships and karmic decisions from days gone by return to us to either begin again or find closure once and for all.
However, I do not mention this to scare you—because retrogrades are not inherently bad. But they do mean that progress may be slower during that period, so it’s time to buckle up and chug along while we still can.
The most important focal point of this week will certainly be the lunar eclipse in Pisces. This appears to be a rather rocky and challenging eclipse, as we will likely face unexpected news or shocking situations being thrown at us. Since the autumn of 2024, we’ve each individually faced karmic situations popping up—and once again—we will face similar situations that have repeated themselves since that time. The good news is that this is likely the final period we’ll face these situations for many years.
In other cosmic news, Mercury, the planet of the mind, ventures into the fields of Virgo from Aug. 25 until Sept. 10. This means our communications and thoughts will be more grounded, practical and strategic. Productivity will be something we aim for.
As for specific cosmic dates, note that a sense of clarity could pop up on the 27th, but be aware that shocking news, accidents, and twists and turns out of nowhere are likely all week—but especially on the 28th.
You may want to lie low this week to avoid some of the turbulence! I send my light and protection to you, no matter where you are.
Read on to find out more about what this week holds in store for your zodiac sign, according to celebrity astrologer Kyle Thomas.
Aries (March 20-April 19)

Since 2024, you’ve had a great deal of karmic energy swirling around you when it comes to health — especially mental health — and meeting with specialists, Aries. This week will once again bring that story one step further, potentially bringing a final resolution or breakthrough to you that helps you to finally move forward and let that all go.
Taurus (April 19-May 20)

In recent years, you’ve had a very intense on-and-off shift around your friendships and social network, Taurus. In fact, you’ve likely seen your community evolve and have potentially left some people behind. This week brings this energy full circle and you could find yourself closing those chapters once and for all. But remember: sometimes when people leave your life, they open up room for new people to enter.
Gemini (May 20-June 20)

You’ve had a great deal of cosmic energy focusing you around ambitions and career in recent years and this week could bring another breakthrough — or breakdown — around a long-term plan, Gemini. For some of you, this could feel like slamming the door and locking it to move entirely in a new direction, whereas others decide it’s time to keep climbing the ladder.
Cancer (June 21-July 21)

Understanding your core beliefs has been an evolution for you in recent years and this week once again will have you face your perspectives on life, Cancer. On a very positive note, you could have an awakening or “revelation” that helps you put your path and life into a perspective that clicks like all of the pieces of a puzzle.
Leo (July 22-Aug. 22)

In recent years, there has been a sense of needing to understand the wounds you’ve experienced around trauma or relationships, Leo. This week may once again feel like they’re bubbling up, but the good news is that once you face those demons, intellectualize them, and spiritually cleanse them, they will no longer haunt you.
Virgo (Aug. 22-Sept. 22)

For multiple years, you’ve faced many karmic life lessons and decisions around partnerships of all kinds, Virgo. This could have been personal, professional, or collaborative. This week will be one of the final thresholds you pass for quite some time around these kinds of important “make or break” decisions. On a positive note, you could keep growing your union — or leave it behind once and for all.
Libra (Sept. 22-Oct. 22)

Your routines, employment, or physical health have been up and down since 2024, Libra, and you’ve likely had many headaches about how irritating they’ve been. On a positive note, the universe has been trying to teach you better ways of managing your time and choosing when to rest. Understand a healthy work-life balance now.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22)

Profound cosmic lessons have been coming to you regarding your heart’s desires and passions in recent years, Scorpio, and this continues onward into the week ahead. In a more literal sense, this could deal with one of the following themes: romance and true love, creativity and expression, or situations involving children. It’s likely one of these situations has been somewhat of a thorn in your side, but this week could bring a revelation or a sense of closure.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22–Dec. 21)

If you’ve been feeling some ups and downs regarding home, family, or your domestic life in recent years, Sagittarius, this could have caused some frustration or a sense of grief. Depending on how you’ve handled it all, it’s likely this week could bring everything one step further — and hopefully help you finally take a breather and find a sense of peace.
Capricorn (Dec. 21-Jan. 19)

In recent years, you’ve been quite focused on situations involving your intellectual pursuits or the development of communication-related skills or credentials, Capricorn. This week once again gives you an opportunity to embrace this growth and put a polish on what you’ve learned and what you still wish to say.
Aquarius (Jan. 19-Feb. 18)

Financial matters may have been a bit up and down in recent years, Aquarius, with certain income or expenses coming out of the blue. This week once again continues this pattern, but could finally give you a grasp on how you can handle everything in a more stable way moving forward.
Pisces (Feb. 18-March 20)

Since 2023 — but especially since the autumn of 2024 — you’ve felt this great need for evolution, change, and personal growth, Pisces. It has likely felt as if you’ve been a phoenix burned down to ashes and risen anew, craving a full ascension into this new chapter of your life—and it’s likely that key relationships have come or gone. This week will bring that story to a sense of closure and you will likely look back on how far you have come.
