August’s transformative ‘double eclipse’ is set to shake things up - and Taurus could be in for a 'messy' month
The last days of summer are bringing the drama!
Brace yourself, as we're now entering a 'double eclipse' month - we're set for both a total solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse, which are sure to stir the pot in one way or another for all of the Zodiac signs.
August begins with the romantic planet Venus entering Libra on August 6, forcing us to find an equilibrium in how we express our heartfelt sentiments. Then, just three days later, communicative Mercury swings into passionate Leo, on the 9th, giving us a chance to express our sentiments with vigor.
Action-oriented Mars swims into Cancer on August 11, making our tempers more emotionally based and changeable, and the total solar eclipse in Leo on August 12 has a metamorphic effect on everyone, particularly those in Europe.

The eclipse is going to transform our lives by urging us to release old patterns and embrace new desires, while the sun glides into Virgo on August 22, allowing us to be more practical and altruistic.
Finally, the energy intensifies on the 25th when Mercury swings into Virgo, brightening our horizons and intellect, and the lunar eclipse in Pisces occurs on August 28, ending the month on an intuitive and soulful high.
