The Week Ahead for Libra
Monday, August 10th – Sunday, August 16th
Not for the first time this year has the astrology given us a show-stopping display, but a total solar eclipse makes it one of the most spectacular. As always, these alignments need to make a connection with your natal chart to preside over life-defining events, but even if they don’t, something is likely to shift whether in your heart and mind or in regard to a situation which has needed to change for some while. Romance could be at the heart of this week’s story with some Librans celebrating their love and others wondering quite where love has gone.
Out of this world.
See last week’s forecast below.
Monday, August 3rd – Sunday, August 9th
Venus enters your sign bringing more love into your life, whether in the way of romance, joyful occasions or other people’s appreciation of you and your gifts. Venus represents the sweet things of life, so while she moves through Libra, accordingly life should be sweeter. However, Venus is also about righting wrongs, so don’t be surprised if issues arise that inspire you to fight for your rights. This would be an excellent time to marry or to make a binding commitment and it would also be a good time to talk through problems with a view to resolving them.
The cavalry arrives!

The Month Ahead for Libra
August 2026
Put all thoughts of a quiet August behind you. This is one big, happening month. Offers to do something you’ve never done before, meetings with people who open your eyes to undreamed of possibilities and, in general, events that surprise and unsettle you could be on the agenda. And some Librans will be making a major life change. Is it a good month? Yes, if you’re prepared to take something of a risk but not if you try to hold back the tide of change. On or near the 28th, a situation that you thought was of little importance may turn out to be a game-changer.

The Year Ahead for Libra
There were hints of things to come last year, and they are here with bells on in 2026… Uranus will establish itself in an area in which it can broaden your horizons in a variety of ways – travel, skills and experience – enabling some of you to spread your influence and attain a higher, even a global profile. Yet both these planetary changes will involve disruption. You may have to make a long-distance move or end a partnership, but what is in store for you necessitates a sacrifice. Front of the queue here are September-born Librans; the October birthdays have a smoother ride yet not quite as many dreamy events.
