Venus in Libra wants real, beautiful love. When it trines Pluto in Aquarius, you feel a much deeper connection to those around you. However, Neptune, the planet of dreams and idealism, complicates matters a bit. Be careful not to fall for false promises or future faking. Take off your rose-colored glasses and focus on what is real. Actions carry more weight than words.
Daily horoscopes for Monday, August 10, 2026:
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Design: YourTango
It's time to get real, Aries. You've been holding onto an idealized version of a close relationship in your life. But as Neptune in your sign opposes Venus, you must stop lying to yourself. Fortunately, Neptune trine Pluto is here to help.
On Monday, you see that the relationship you've been imagining isn't actually accurate. Perhaps it once was, but things have changed. This energy isn't meant to break your heart. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Once the illusions dissolve, you have room in your life for a more genuine connection.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Design: YourTango
Once you admit what isn't working, you can make your life so much better, Taurus. You've been pretending everything is fine, but that only works for so long. You've gotten complacent, and on August 10, it's time for a change.
You must take matters into your own hands. This is not the time for wishful thinking or waiting for your life to improve on its own. That will get you nowhere. It may be uncomfortable, but often the best things are at first. This is your chance to create the life of your dreams.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Design: YourTango
Love is in the air, Gemini. On Monday, you're craving a deep, romantic connection. With Venus in Libra, this is certainly possible, but you need to be realistic. Don't get swept up in romantic fantasies.
You have a crush on someone, but be careful. There's a good chance they are not the person you built them up to be in your mind. That doesn't mean you can't have something real with them, but it must be based on fact. When they show you who they are, believe them.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Design: YourTango
You have big dreams for your life, Cancer, but when you look around, you see that your current reality doesn't match up. On August 10, reflect on what you need to change to live the life you desire.
Perhaps you need to switch careers or become your own boss. Maybe you are single and looking for the one. Whatever it is, this is a good day to start making moves. You can have the life of your dreams, but not without action.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Design: YourTango
All eyes are on you, Leo. Mercury, the Sun, and Jupiter are all in your sign, encouraging you to be bold and speak your mind. As we approach the Solar Eclipse (which is also in your sign), reflect on what you want to manifest.
Venus might have you focused on romance, but that's certainly not all you want. On August 10, think about what you'd like to see come into your life over the next year. This could be anything from a higher-paying job to a new house or, yes, a relationship.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Design: YourTango
Know your worth, Virgo. You have the opportunity on Monday to increase your income, but you have to know what you deserve. You've been underpaid and undervalued for too long. It's time to demand more.
Still, don't believe everything you're told, and definitely don't spend money until it's actually in your bank account. The Venus-Neptune opposition might cloud your judgement, so make sure to read over any agreements carefully. Don't take someone's word until you see proof.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Design: YourTango
Don't be afraid to show the real you, Libra. Venus is in your sign, which makes Monday feel personally significant. You are craving a deep connection, yet you continue to manage how you come across. That only works for so long.
You can't keep pretending everything is fine or agreeing with your partner just to keep the peace. Compromise has a place in relationships, but not if you are the only one ever giving in. Be your authentic self, and let your partner love you for who you really are.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Design: YourTango
When Venus opposes Neptune on August 10, it's tempting to romanticize your life. But the reality is that some things are just not working. If you close your eyes and pretend all is well, it will never get better.
Take time on Monday to really consider how you can improve your life. You might need to find a better work-life balance or let go of some bad habits. It won't be easy, Scorpio, but it will be worth it.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Design: YourTango
You're ready to make some big moves, Sagittarius. Perhaps you're planning a trip abroad or considering going back to school. You want to expand your horizons, but be careful. When Neptune opposes Venus on Monday, some things really are too good to be true.
Double-check the details before committing to anything. Or better yet, wait until tomorrow. Right now, things look better than they are, but that won't always be the case. Hold off so that reality doesn't come crashing down later.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
Design: YourTango
Trust your gut, Capricorn. You are skeptical by nature, and often that is viewed as a bad thing. But on August 10, it's your greatest strength.
It's tempting to idealize something in your life, be it a relationship or financial opportunity. But if your intuition is telling you that something is off, trust it. On Monday, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Design: YourTango
You are in the midst of an evolution, Aquarius. As you grow as a person, you need to let go of what doesn't serve you. On August 10, take a moment to reflect on your goals and beliefs. Do they align with the person you are becoming?
It's possible the answer is no, and that's OK. You are changing, and, naturally, your dreams and beliefs shift with you. Don't try to hang on to what no longer feels right. Instead, focus on this new version of you.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Design: YourTango
You're good at seeing the potential in people and situations, Pisces. You're sometimes so good at it that you stay with the potential longer than the reality warrants. On Monday, when Neptune, your ruling planet, opposes Venus, you must fight that instinct.
This transit is teaching you to separate fantasy from reality. Pay attention to red flags that arise and believe people when they show you who they are. Pretty words are nice, but actions mean a whole lot more.
