Today, Tuesday, August 4
Today the Moon crosses Aries, your house of partners and the people closest to you. The Moon is at last quarter, so let go of what this month is done with, and do it exactly there. With Saturn retrograde, old homework returns for review; whatever you skipped is easier the second time. Ask the person closest to you one real question.
This week, August 3 to 9
A week with no doors slamming: the Moon travels quietly between chapters. Mars keeps working your house of travel, study and belief, and that is where your traction is. No personal planet is moving backwards: what you start this week walks in a straight line.
This month, August 2026
The Sun spends the month in Leo, lighting your house of friends and community: that is the month's stage. On the 12th, the new moon in Leo opens your house of friends and community: place one small, real beginning there. It is also an eclipse, so let this one be bigger than usual: watch what leaves, and do not chase it. On the 28th, the full moon in Pisces peaks in your house of work, health and routines: something ripens there, and seeing it whole is the task. That one is an eclipse as well: the same counsel, one level deeper.
Who Libra is
Libra runs from September 23 to October 22. Born right on the edge, the exact year decides the sign, and your birth chart says it without guessing.
Libra is ruled by Venus. Its symbol is the scales.
The Sun in Libra
Your core seeks the harmonious arrangement, of rooms, of arguments, of people. You think in counterweights, which makes you fair, and makes deciding expensive.
The Moon in Libra
Conflict sits badly in your body, you feel other people's tension as your own. Peace isn't a preference for you; it's a physical need.
Libra rising
You arrive as grace and consideration, doors held, sharp edges rounded. People find themselves agreeing with you and feeling better about it.
Who matches Libra?
Libra harmonizes with the other air signs, Gemini and Aquarius, who treat talking things through as a pleasure rather than a chore. Fire warms air: Leo and Sagittarius pull Libra from weighing into living. The mirror is Aries, the opposite sign, where Libra learns that a clean no can be a kindness.
Your Sun sign is one line of your sky. Read the whole letter.
