This is the finishing week.
August has opened as a Universal Month 9, the number of completion, and this first full week carries its signature everywhere.
On Thursday morning, 6 August, a Last Quarter Moon in steady Taurus asks for a gentle unclenching, a practical letting go, done slowly and with both hands. Then before dawn on Friday 7 August, Venus comes home to Libra, her own sign, and everything about love, friendship and beauty softens for the weeks ahead.
Saturn is still walking backwards through Aries, quietly retesting this year’s commitments. Mercury is direct in Cancer and finally clearing the last of its retrograde shadow, so stalled conversations and plans begin to move again. And the gentle Goat month spends its final week with us before the clever Monkey arrives.
The theme for everyone: finish gently, release practically, and let the love in your life soften.
Read for your Sun sign, and your rising sign if you know it.
Aries
Thursday’s quarter moon lands in your money and worth, so something practical asks to be finished or released, an expense, a loose end, a lingering money knot. From Friday, Venus warms your partnership house for weeks, bringing ease back into your closest bond.
Taurus
The quarter moon falls in your own sign, a personal turning point that asks you to set down one comfortable thing that stopped being comfortable a while ago. Venus moves into your house of daily life, making the ordinary round genuinely pleasant again.
Gemini
Thursday’s release happens in your quietest house, an inner letting go nobody else needs to see. Venus lights your creativity and romance from Friday, one of the loveliest windows of your year for play.
Cancer
The quarter moon stirs your friendships and wider circles, and a group commitment asks for an honest adjustment. Venus settles into your home and family corner, softening the very ground you live on.
Leo
Thursday’s turning point touches your career and public standing, a professional matter ready for one practical adjustment. Venus brightens your words from Friday, and people will hear the warmth in everything you say.
Virgo
The quarter moon lands in your house of horizons, releasing a plan or belief that has quietly expired. Venus moves into your money house, bringing grace to your finances and a reminder of what you are worth.
Libra
Thursday asks for release in the deep shared places, trust, joint money, the things carried together. Then before dawn on Friday your ruler Venus comes home to your sign, and your own season of charm begins.
Scorpio
The quarter moon lands in your partnership house, and a one to one bond benefits from one honest, practical adjustment. Venus slips into your quiet twelfth house, tender and private, love that asks for nothing.
Sagittarius
Thursday’s release runs through your work and health, one habit or workload ready to be set down gently. Venus warms your friendships from Friday, and the invitations start arriving.
Capricorn
The quarter moon touches your creativity, romance and play, finishing one chapter so a better one can start. Venus rises to the top of your chart, bringing grace and goodwill to your public and professional life.
Aquarius
Thursday’s turning point lands at the base of your chart, a home or family matter ready for a calm, practical release. Venus lights your house of horizons, and love of the far view, travel, study, the bigger picture, returns.
Pisces
The quarter moon asks you to complete a conversation, the one that has been sitting half finished. Venus deepens your most intimate bonds from Friday, quiet and true.
Whatever your sign, the week sings the same quiet song.
Finish gently, release with both hands, and let the softening in.
