Planetary Transits, Zodiac Predictions & Remedies for All 12 Signs
By Himani Goyal
The week from 23rd August to 29th August 2026 brings an interesting combination of fire, emotion, ambition, karmic reflection and mental activity. Several planets are activating powerful nakshatras, while Mercury’s movement into Leo on 23rd August becomes one of the important astrological events of the week.
The Sun is strongly placed in Leo in Magha Nakshatra, highlighting leadership, authority, self-respect, ancestry and the desire for recognition. However, with Ketu also retrograde in Leo in Magha, the same area of life where we seek appreciation may also become an area where we are asked to detach from ego and external validation.
Mercury enters Leo on 23rd August and remains combust in Magha Nakshatra. Communication therefore requires extra awareness. People may speak quickly, take things personally or assume that others understand their point of view. Important emails, contracts and conversations should be checked carefully before finalising them.
Mars in Gemini in Ardra Nakshatra creates strong mental activity. Ardra can stir things before bringing clarity. Arguments, debates, sudden changes in plans, sharp communication and restlessness may increase if this energy is not channelled productively.
At the same time, Jupiter in Cancer in Ashlesha Nakshatra provides emotional intelligence, intuition and protective energy. Jupiter is traditionally considered exalted in Cancer, so despite some intense planetary combinations, wisdom and guidance are available when decisions are taken patiently.
Venus remains in Virgo in Hasta Nakshatra and moves into Chitra Nakshatra on 26th August. Venus in Virgo tends to analyse love, relationships, finances and personal preferences rather than simply enjoy them. The movement into Chitra can increase the desire to improve, beautify, reorganise or redesign something in our personal or professional lives.
Saturn remains retrograde in Pisces in Revati Nakshatra, encouraging us to revisit unfinished responsibilities, boundaries, emotional patterns and long-term plans. Saturn retrograde rarely supports shortcuts. It asks us to correct what has been ignored.
Rahu remains retrograde in Aquarius in Dhanishta Nakshatra, increasing ambition around networks, technology, social influence and unconventional goals, while Ketu retrograde in Leo in Magha continues its work of separating genuine self-worth from the need for applause.
Moon Movement During the Week
On 23rd and 24th August, the Moon travels through Sagittarius in Moola and Purva Ashadha Nakshatras. These days encourage truth, learning, clearing old beliefs and looking at the bigger picture.
From 25th to 27th August, the Moon moves through Capricorn across Uttara Ashadha, Shravana and Dhanishta Nakshatras. Practical responsibilities take priority. Career, discipline, organisation, reputation and long-term planning become important.
On 28th and 29th August, the Moon moves into Aquarius through Shatabhisha and Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatras. The weekend carries a more independent, analytical and introspective energy. Healing, friendships, networks and future plans may occupy the mind.
These predictions are primarily written for your Vedic Moon Sign or Chandra Rashi. You may also read your Ascendant sign for additional insight.
♈ Aries Weekly Horoscope
For Aries natives, this can be a progressive week, particularly where career growth, networking and personal ambition are concerned.
The Sun, Mercury and Ketu influence your fifth house, bringing attention to creativity, children, education, romance and decision-making. You may have many ideas, but Mercury’s combustion suggests that every idea does not need immediate action. Avoid impulsive speculation or trying to prove yourself intellectually.
Mars in your third house increases courage and confidence. Communication, marketing, recruitment, writing, social media, business development or short journeys may remain active. However, Mars in Ardra can make your words sharper than intended. Handle conversations with siblings and colleagues patiently.
Jupiter in your fourth house provides support regarding home, family, emotional stability, education or property-related matters. You may receive useful guidance from family members or feel motivated to improve your living environment.
Rahu in the eleventh house can bring new contacts, unusual opportunities and ambitious goals. Networking could prove valuable, especially toward the end of the week.
Career-wise, 25th to 29th August looks especially active as the Moon moves through your tenth and eleventh houses. Meetings, professional conversations and pending work may move forward.
In relationships, avoid interpreting every disagreement as rejection. Ketu in the fifth can temporarily create emotional distance or confusion in romantic situations.
Financially, gains are possible, but avoid speculative decisions based only on excitement.
Health-wise, mental overstimulation and irregular sleep should be managed.
Remedy: Offer water to the rising Sun on Sunday morning and chant “Om Ghrini Suryaya Namah” 11 times. Keep communication humble even when you know you are right.
♉ Taurus Weekly Horoscope
Taurus natives may experience a week of professional ambition combined with some emotional restlessness at home.
The Sun, Mercury and Ketu activate your fourth house of home, mother, property, emotional security and inner peace. You may feel that something within your domestic life needs reorganising. Mercury’s combustion advises patience with property paperwork, family communication and household decisions.
Mars in your second house requires special attention to speech. You may say something very directly and later realise that your tone created unnecessary tension. Financially, unexpected expenses or quick purchasing decisions should also be controlled.
Jupiter in your third house supports learning, communication, writing, presentations and developing a new skill. Those involved in media, counselling, sales, consulting, teaching or independent business may find opportunities to expand their reach.
Rahu in your tenth house makes career one of the strongest themes of the week. You may become more ambitious or feel that your existing position is no longer enough. New-age industries, technology, online platforms or unconventional career directions can attract your attention.
Saturn retrograde in your eleventh house may delay certain gains, but it can reconnect you with old professional contacts or unfinished goals.
The Moon on 23rd and 24th can make you more introspective. From 25th onward, energy improves. The 28th and 29th can become important for career-related developments.
Love matters require patience because Venus, your ruling planet, is travelling through Virgo. Over-analysis can reduce emotional warmth. Allow relationships to breathe rather than constantly measuring where they are going.
Remedy: On Friday, donate white rice, milk or white sweets to someone in need and chant “Om Shum Shukraya Namah” 108 times.
♊ Gemini Weekly Horoscope
Gemini natives may experience a mentally active and fast-moving week.
Mars travelling through your own sign in Ardra Nakshatra gives tremendous drive, but it also creates impatience. You may feel ready to act before everyone else has understood the situation. Physical exercise and structured work will help channel this energy constructively.
Your ruling planet Mercury enters Leo on 23rd August and joins the Sun and Ketu in your third house. Communication, writing, business development, digital content, short travel and networking receive emphasis.
However, Mercury is combust, so double-check messages, documents and appointments. Avoid sending an emotional message immediately after becoming upset.
Jupiter in the second house is supportive for finances, knowledge and family matters. Income may improve gradually, and your ability to advise, teach or counsel others can strengthen.
Venus in your fourth house may create a desire to redecorate, improve your home or spend more time creating emotional comfort. Yet Venus in Virgo can also make you notice every small imperfection around you.
Saturn retrograde in your tenth house asks you to reassess career responsibilities. A professional matter you thought was settled may need another round of discussion. Do not see this automatically as a setback; Saturn often asks for strengthening before giving stability.
Relationships are highlighted on 23rd and 24th when the Moon moves through your seventh house. Listen carefully rather than trying to solve everything immediately.
The weekend supports spiritual reflection, learning and planning future travel.
Remedy: On Wednesday, offer green moong dal to someone in need and chant “Om Bum Budhaya Namah” 108 times. Keep important communication short, clear and factual.
♋ Cancer Weekly Horoscope
Cancer natives receive one of the strongest protective influences of the week because Jupiter is travelling through your own sign.
Jupiter in Cancer can strengthen wisdom, emotional understanding, confidence and the ability to look at situations from a broader perspective. Ashlesha Nakshatra, however, encourages you to look beneath the surface. Trust intuition, but do not allow suspicion to replace facts.
The Sun, Mercury and Ketu occupy your second house, bringing focus to finances, family values and communication. Mercury’s combustion requires careful handling of financial paperwork and family conversations. Avoid making statements merely to establish authority.
Mars in your twelfth house can increase expenditure, travel, sleep disturbance or behind-the-scenes activity. Those connected with overseas clients or foreign organisations may remain particularly busy.
Venus in the third house is useful for communication, creativity and content-related work, but you may become overly concerned about how your message will be perceived.
Saturn retrograde in the ninth house may cause you to question an old belief, teacher, philosophy or long-term plan. A delayed journey or educational decision may need reconsideration.
Rahu in the eighth house requires caution with loans, taxes, shared resources and assumptions about other people’s intentions.
The Moon moves through your sixth house on 23rd and 24th, making these good days for completing practical tasks. From 25th to 27th, relationships and partnerships become important. On 28th and 29th, avoid unnecessarily intense emotional conversations.
Professionally, steady progress is possible when you remain organised.
Remedy: On Thursday, donate yellow lentils or turmeric and chant “Om Brim Brihaspataye Namah” 108 times. Seek guidance before making a major decision.
♌ Leo Weekly Horoscope
Leo natives become one of the central signs of this week because the Sun, Mercury and Ketu are all influencing your first house.
The Sun in its own sign strengthens confidence, visibility and leadership. You may naturally attract attention or be placed in situations where others expect you to take charge.
At the same time, Ketu in Leo creates an interesting contradiction. You may receive recognition yet still wonder whether the recognition truly satisfies you. This transit can push you toward a deeper understanding of identity.
Mercury enters your sign on 23rd August but remains combust. Your mind may be active, yet communication can become strongly connected with ego or personal interpretation. Avoid assuming that disagreement means disrespect.
Mars in the eleventh house can create tremendous drive toward goals and earnings. Networking may bring opportunities, but conflicts can also arise within groups if everyone wants control.
Jupiter in your twelfth house supports spirituality, foreign connections, healing work, charity and introspection. Expenses may rise, but some expenditure could be meaningful—for education, travel or personal development.
Venus in the second house highlights money and speech. Budgeting needs practical attention. In love, soft words will achieve more than dramatic declarations.
Saturn retrograde in your eighth house encourages proper management of insurance, taxation, shared finances and long-standing emotional issues.
Rahu in your seventh house makes relationships unpredictable. You may meet unusual people or find yourself analysing an existing connection more deeply.
The 23rd and 24th are good for creativity. Midweek requires attention to routine and work. The 28th and 29th place relationships strongly in focus.
Remedy: Offer water to the rising Sun every morning when possible. On Sunday, chant the Gayatri Mantra or “Om Ghrini Suryaya Namah” with gratitude rather than asking only for results.
♍ Virgo Weekly Horoscope
Virgo natives may feel pulled between outward achievement and a strong need for inner reflection.
Mercury, your ruling planet, enters your twelfth house on 23rd August, joining the Sun and Ketu. Mercury’s combustion can increase mental activity behind the scenes. You may replay conversations, analyse situations or worry about things you cannot immediately control.
Use this period for planning rather than overthinking.
Mars in your tenth house energises career matters. Your workload can increase, and you may feel strongly motivated to demonstrate your abilities. Avoid confrontations with seniors or colleagues simply because work is moving slower than you would like.
Jupiter in the eleventh house supports gains, professional networks, friendships and long-term ambitions. Help may arrive through influential contacts or people who genuinely value your knowledge.
Venus travels through your own sign. You may want to improve your appearance, lifestyle, professional image or relationship standards. Yet Venus in Virgo can become too critical. Do not turn self-improvement into self-rejection.
The move of Venus into Chitra Nakshatra on 26th August may inspire design, creativity, personal branding, restructuring or beautification.
Saturn retrograde in your seventh house is important for serious relationships and business partnerships. Old issues around commitment, boundaries or responsibility may resurface. Strong relationships can become more mature, while weak agreements may require renegotiation.
Rahu in the sixth house can help you overcome competition when you remain disciplined.
The Moon supports home matters early in the week, creativity midweek and practical work toward the weekend.
Remedy: Worship Lord Ganesha on Wednesday or chant “Om Gan Ganapataye Namah” 108 times. Donate green moong dal and avoid unnecessary mental clutter before sleeping.
♎ Libra Weekly Horoscope
Libra natives may experience strong professional growth potential, but relationships with friends and networks require maturity.
The Sun, Mercury and Ketu activate your eleventh house, the house of gains, friendships, social circles and long-term aspirations. You may connect with influential individuals, but Mercury’s combustion can create misunderstandings within professional networks.
Choose quality connections over trying to impress everyone.
Jupiter in your tenth house is one of the most supportive influences for your career. Leadership opportunities, guidance from seniors and professional recognition are possible. Those seeking expansion may receive encouraging signs.
Mars in your ninth house can increase travel, learning and interest in new philosophies. However, arguments about beliefs should be avoided. Be especially respectful in conversations with mentors and elders.
Venus, your ruling planet, remains in your twelfth house. You may desire privacy, rest, travel or emotional retreat. Expenses related to comfort, beauty or lifestyle can increase.
From 26th August, Venus in Chitra can make you rethink your appearance, personal environment or an artistic project.
Saturn retrograde in your sixth house demands discipline in work routines. Pending tasks cannot be avoided indefinitely.
Rahu in the fifth house may create unusual romantic attractions or highly creative ideas, but speculative financial decisions need caution.
The 23rd and 24th favour communication and meetings. Midweek brings attention to home and family. The 28th and 29th are favourable for creativity, children, romance and personal expression, provided expectations remain realistic.
Remedy: On Friday, offer white flowers to Goddess Lakshmi if this is part of your practice, or donate white food items to someone in need. Chant “Om Shum Shukraya Namah” 108 times.
♏ Scorpio Weekly Horoscope
Career becomes a major theme for Scorpio natives this week.
The Sun, Mercury and Ketu activate your tenth house, placing professional reputation, leadership and responsibilities under the spotlight.
You may receive greater visibility, but Ketu can make you question whether your current career direction is emotionally satisfying. Mercury’s combustion suggests avoiding misunderstandings with management or senior people.
Mars, your ruling planet, travels through your eighth house in Ardra. This is a powerful but intense combination. Research, investigation, strategy and psychological work can benefit, but impulsive financial decisions should be avoided.
Shared finances, taxes, loans and hidden expenses need proper attention.
Fortunately, Jupiter in your ninth house provides strong support. Mentors, education, spirituality and long-distance connections may open doors. You may receive advice at exactly the right moment.
Venus in your eleventh house can bring social interactions and professional gains, although some friendships may feel more transactional than emotional.
Saturn retrograde in your fifth house asks you to take responsibility for creativity, children, education or romantic decisions. A relationship may require patience rather than immediate certainty.

The week begins with a focus on money and family. Midweek supports communication and business efforts. The weekend encourages emotional grounding and attention to home.
Remedy: On Tuesday, recite the Hanuman Chalisa or chant “Om Hanumate Namah” 108 times. Avoid reacting immediately when anger rises.
♐ Sagittarius Weekly Horoscope
Sagittarius natives begin the week with the Moon in their own sign, making the 23rd and 24th emotionally significant.
You may feel motivated to clear something from your life, especially while the Moon travels through Moola and Purva Ashadha. Moola encourages you to reach the root of a situation, while Purva Ashadha restores confidence after clarity has been found.
The Sun, Mercury and Ketu activate your ninth house of destiny, mentors, higher learning, spirituality and long-distance travel.
Your desire to learn or follow a new direction can increase. However, Mercury’s combustion suggests checking travel bookings, documents, applications and important communications carefully.
Mars in your seventh house can create passion but also arguments within relationships. Business partnerships also require mature communication.
If you are dating someone new, allow the relationship to develop naturally instead of forcing certainty.
Jupiter, your ruling planet, travels through the eighth house. This placement can deepen intuition, spiritual understanding, research and transformation. Financially, shared resources and investments need thoughtful management.

The 23rd and 24th may feel slower or emotionally draining. From 25th to 27th August, the Moon moves through your own sign, restoring focus and determination. The 28th and 29th place money and family matters in focus.

Overall Energy of the Week
The astrology of 23rd to 29th August 2026 asks us to balance confidence with humility.
The powerful Leo influence encourages leadership, self-expression and courage, but Ketu reminds us that genuine confidence does not need constant external validation.
Mercury’s combustion advises us to communicate thoughtfully rather than react emotionally. Mars in Ardra can create storms in conversations if impatience takes over, but the same Mars can also give tremendous courage to solve difficult problems.
Jupiter in Cancer remains an important source of wisdom and emotional protection. When situations become complicated, empathy and intuition can show the way forward.
Venus moving from Hasta to Chitra on 26th August shifts relationship and creative energy from fixing and organising toward refinement and reconstruction. Instead of asking, “What is wrong?”, try asking, “What can be improved without destroying what is already good?”
Saturn retrograde continues to remind us that unfinished lessons eventually return for resolution.
The Moon’s journey from Sagittarius to Capricorn and finally Aquarius beautifully describes the rhythm of the week:
First understand the truth. Then take responsibility. Finally, look toward the future.
Weekly Guidance
Do not rush to prove your point simply because you feel misunderstood. Speak clearly, verify information and allow actions to reveal what words cannot.
Use the beginning of the week for clarity, the middle of the week for disciplined action and the end of the week for reflection, networking and planning your next move.
Weekly Affirmation:
“I trust divine timing while taking practical action. I communicate with clarity, release unnecessary ego and move toward my goals with wisdom and patience.”
This weekly horoscope offers general Vedic astrological guidance based on planetary transits. Individual results can vary according to the birth chart, Moon sign, Ascendant, planetary periods and personal circumstances.
