💼 Career & Profession

Venus moves through your sixth house (Virgo) this August, bringing health & obstacles into focus.

You do well in roles that resolve other people's troubles. Veterinary and care professions also suit Venus's nurturing side here.

Mars in your third house colours this August through courage & siblings. You shine in self-driven, skill-based work: media and writing, sales, engineering, sports, defence, or any trade demanding hands and nerve. Commission and competition motivate you. You suit roles where you set your own pace and prove yourself through visible results.

Real estate, agriculture, hospitality, government property roles and home-based authority suit this placement, though many feel driven to build their career far from where they grew up. Property can be a strong source of wealth. Restlessness, though, can keep you moving.

❤️ Love & Relationships

Ketu moves through your fifth house (Leo) this August, bringing children & intellect into focus. Romance often feels karmic, unsatisfying or marked by separation, and you may hold love at arm length even while longing for it. With children, there can be delays, distance or a sense that the bond is being worked out across lifetimes. Mentorship may satisfy you more than romance.

With Sun transiting your fourth house in Cancer, mother ask for attention. The bond with the mother is central and can be either deeply protective or marked by friction and distance. At home you may expect to be the authority, which partners and parents do not always welcome. Emotional warmth has to be worked at, not assumed.

Mercury in your fourth house colours this August through home & mother. You need a partner who respects your bond with home and family and who can talk through emotions rather than bottle them.

You create a warm, conversational household, though you must guard against analysing loved ones instead of simply being with them.
