Your daily horoscopes for Monday August 3, 2026
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Monday August 3
Starting today, as “wounded healer” Chiron turns retrograde in Taurus and your second house of finances and principles, you’ll have five months to explore the emotional aspects of your relationship to money and “stuff.” Chiron was in your sign for the past seven years and returns for a final hurrah from September 17 to April 14, wrapping up a shift in some of your most deeply held values. For the rest of the year, you can get in touch with beliefs around self-worth and how you use money in both healthy and counterproductive ways. Spoiler: A LOT has to do with the values you were raised with so examine those at a granular level.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Monday August 3
Your steady sign would rather keep things comfortable than spend hours contemplating your navel, but starting today, you may be doing a LOT of soul searching. The “wounded healer” comet Chiron turns retrograde in your sign, then retrogrades back into Aries and your twelfth house of healing from September 17 to January 6. Everyone has a shadow side, and during this transit, you may get more familiar with yours—bringing up issues you either thought were done and dusted, or weren’t aware of.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Monday August 3
“Quick, curious and adaptable” are your superpowers, but starting today, you may want to experiment with some different approaches to problems and situations. For the next five months, “wounded healer” comet Chiron will be retrograde, first in Taurus and your twelfth house of introspection, psychology and intuition, then back in Aries and your friendship zone from September 17 to January 6. Everyone has a shadow side, and in this position, your explorations may accelerate. Stay positive, Twin, even when things get a little heavy!
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Monday August 3
Starting today, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to review your friend roster to see if you’re getting as good as you’re giving. Our companions should reflect favorably on us, so make sure YOURS support your aspirations and bring you up—not down. For the next five months, “wounded healer” Chiron spins retrograde, first in Taurus and your house of social networks, then, backing into Aries and your career corner from September 17 to January 6. Use this cycle to weed out some “bad seeds” or step away from people who are stuck in negative thinking.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Monday August 3

Life might get WAY more intense as “wounded healer” Chiron begins a five-month retrograde cycle today, starting in steadfast Taurus and your ninth house of education, travel and philosophy, then retreating into Aries and your intimate eighth house from September 17 to January 6.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Monday August 3
Your relationship—or a love interest, or your DESIRE for a partner—come into the spotlight today and stay there for almost the rest of the year, thanks to the backspin of “wounded healer” Chiron. The retrograde begins in Taurus and your seventh house of dynamic duos, until September 17.
