This month, we are navigating Chiron’s re-entry into Aries and Uranus stationing retrograde, both occurring against the backdrop of Venus in its pre-retrograde shadow. The primary focus of this time is healing within our relationships. We are invited to refine the balance between attending to our partnerships and honoring our own personal needs.

This month opens with Mercury exiting its post-retrograde shadow on August 6th, lifting the fog and signaling the go-ahead on things delayed by July’s retrograde. This signal of forward momentum is shortly followed by a Solar Eclipse in Leo on the 12th, which highlights the Leo themes already begun with late June’s entry of Jupiter into Leo.

Whatever sign Chiron transits shows us how to tend to the wounds rooted in our childhood. Now, the Wounded Healer shifts our focus toward the material and physical foundations of our lives. The brief preview window of Chiron in Taurus from June to September 2026 provides a vital sneak peek into an eight-year cycle designed to heal whatever blocks our ability to feel safe.
