August zodiac signs
August belongs to two signs: Leo first, then Virgo. In 2026 the Sun makes the crossing on August 23 at 02:19 UTC. Pick your day for the sign, the decan, the tarot card, and — on cusp days — the exact hour for your birth year.
Leo in August
The fixed fire sign that brings warmth and refuses to be small.
A Leo Sun puts the Sun in its own sign — your core identity is amplified, radiant, and visible. You generate energy that other people warm themselves on. The friend whose laugh fills the room, the colleague who turns a project into something people are proud to be part of, the host who makes a dinner party an actual event — that's you, in your element.
Virgo in August
The mutable earth sign that notices everything and refines until it works.
A Virgo Sun has an analytical mind paired with a service orientation — a rare combination. You're the person who actually reads the manual, who notices what's off in the system, who stays late to make sure the thing works the way it's supposed to. You're not loud about it. You just do the work.
