Astrology and Tarot for August 2026

In this episode of So Divine!, Stephanie and Megan explore the celestial landscape for August. They discuss Chiron stationing retrograde, amplifying themes around Chiron's signature wounded healer archetype. They advocate for extra doses of self-care and compassion given our “ouch spots” may be triggered. They talk about the August Eclipses: the Leo Solar Eclipse and the Virgo Lunar Eclipse, and how it's helpful to embrace not-knowing and staying flexible as clarity is often eclipsed during this time. They explore the Lunar Nodes shifting into the Aquarius and Leo polarity, joining the outer planets now also residing in air and fire signs; with this, they note that while we’re focused on ideas and inspiration, that it’s still important to find sources of groundedness (earth) and emotional fluency (water) in our lives. They talk about the Minor Triangle being joined by Venus and Mercury mid-month, and how this turns the spotlight towards our relationships and communication. Stephanie chooses the tarot card for the month at random, the Six of Pentacles, and Megan explains how this card representing generosity and balanced-giving beautifully mirrors many of the astrological themes for the month.
