Foxy Astrology Weekly Forecast: Aug. 9–15, 2026
The week of Aug. 9–15, 2026, is chock-a-block full of aspects, including a beautiful and powerful Kite configuration. But perhaps more importantly, we’re moving from bold self-expression into emotional intensity, all building toward the week’s headliner: a Total Solar Eclipse in Leo.
And darling, this is no dress rehearsal...welcome to Eclipse Season!
August 9 – 25 | Mercury in Leo
The curtain rises Sunday as Mercury struts into Leo, turning up the volume on our thoughts, conversations, and creative expression.
After weeks of second-guessing and emotional processing, it’s time to find your voice and USE IT. Your truth deserves a little stage lighting, so speak from the heart, share the big idea, tell the story, and stop shrinking yourself to make other people comfortable.
You weren’t given a voice just to whisper.
August 10 | Venus in Libra trine Pluto in Aquarius & opposes Neptune in Aries
Consider this a fated emotional checkpoint.
Venus harmoniously trining Pluto opens a beautiful window for deep bonding, emotional honesty, and transformational connection. But that Venus-Neptune opposition comes with one important instruction: eyes wide open, darling.
Enjoy the magic, but don’t confuse potential with reality.
What to do:
Focus on meaningful conversations and genuine connections.
Love people for who they are, not who you imagine they could become.
What not to do:
Judge yourself or others for showing their shadow. Give people space and grace.
Fall into self-sacrificing tendencies. Let yourself, and everyone else, take responsibility for their own shizzzz.
August 11–September 27 | Mars Moves into Cancer
By Tuesday, the mood shifts as Mars dives into Cancer, moving our motivation from the head straight into the heart. Home, family, belonging, and emotional security take center stage, while our protective instincts get a serious boost.
Mars is considered in his Fall in Cancer, meaning our fiery warrior struggles to get comfortable in the watery home of the sensitive crab. Translation? Prepare for passive-aggressive tendencies, emotional flare-ups, and some serious boundary sensitivity.
Just remember: There’s a fine line between defending what you love and going full mama bear because someone looked at you funny. Feel your feelings but maybe give them a minute before handing them the microphone.
August 11 | Kite Configuration
Mercury in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius & trines Neptune in Aries:
This creates a dramatic mental landscape where bold self-expression meets profound psychological depth. Mercury in Leo wants to ROAR, but its opposition to Pluto demands that we strip away illusions and confront uncomfortable truths.
Just as the mental pressure peaks, Neptune offers a softer outlet, channeling all that intensity into spiritual insight, empathy, imagination, and artistic breakthroughs.
In other words, use the pressure. Don’t let the pressure use you.
Venus in Libra trines Uranus in Gemini & Pluto in Aquarius and sextiles Mercury in Leo:
Not to be left out, Venus in her rulership of Libra is bringing some cosmic fabulousness of her own. Her trine to Uranus blends social grace with unexpected breakthroughs, while Pluto adds the emotional honesty needed to transform unhealthy relationship dynamics.
Then Mercury joins the party with a supportive sextile, helping you finally find the right words to make it all work.
What is the energy of a Kite Configuration?
A Kite is dynamic, fast-moving, and beautifully supportive. It takes your natural talents, adds focus and passion, and provides just enough tension to propel you forward.
It can also act like a cosmic sh*t shield of harmonious flow, helping you accomplish more with less friction. So grab the string, honey. We’re flying this Kite somewhere fabulous.
August 12 | Total Solar Eclipse at 20° Leo @ 1:37 p.m. EDT
Cue the spotlight. This potent New Moon eclipse offers a powerful opportunity for an identity reset, illuminating the difference between who you truly are and who you’ve been performing as for everyone else. Old roles, outdated expectations, and ego-driven narratives may suddenly feel several sizes too small.
The question is: Are you ready to stop auditioning for your own life and finally become the star of it?
Because this eclipse isn’t asking you to become someone new. It’s inviting you to reclaim the bold, creative, authentic version of yourself that may have been patiently waiting in the wings.
Foxy Astro Tips:
Look at the house where this eclipse falls in your chart. That’s where you’re being called to take center stage.
If you have anything at or near 20° of the fire signs, Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius, you could see major opportunities to shine over the next six months.
August 12–13 | Mars sextile Chiron | Mercury sextile Uranus & Venus
After all that eclipse drama, the cosmos offers some lovely support. Mars in Cancer sextile Chiron in Taurus brings emotional courage and protective instincts together to gently heal insecurities around self-worth, value, and material stability.
Meanwhile, Mercury in Leo sextile Uranus in Gemini and Venus in Libra creates intellectually electric, highly creative, and socially fluid energy, blending bold self-expression with brilliant and unexpected insights.
Foxy Astro Tips:
Together, these transits bring a beautiful blend of courage, creativity, and cosmic inspiration.
Mars and Chiron help you face old insecurities and strengthen your self-worth, while Mercury, Uranus, and Venus spark brilliant ideas, unexpected insights, and a little extra social sparkle.
Trust your instincts. Speak from the heart. Stay open to inspiration. Your next breakthrough may arrive when you least expect it.
Final Thoughts:
Think of this week as an invitation to reclaim your truest self. Leo encourages you to step out of the shadows, honor your creative power, and stop apologizing for your radiance. Cancer reminds you that true strength also lives in vulnerability, emotional safety, and tending to your inner sanctuary.
With the Solar Eclipse clearing away outdated self-doubt, you’re being handed a clean slate. Trust the plot twists. They may simply be redirecting you toward a more authentic expression of who you were always meant to be.
Stay positive. Don’t lose hope. Grab that string and fly this Kite configuration straight toward your wildest dreams.
