Astrologer Eleanor, cited by YourTango, said that Jupiter in Leo is expanding one area of life for certain zodiac signs while the South Node clears it out, meaning sudden departures or closed doors should not be read as setbacks but as preparation for larger rewards. The forecast, published on August 23, 2026, identifies four signs that will hit a winning streak before summer ends, with each sign facing a release of outdated identities to make room for better outcomes.
Leo is among the signs set to win big, according to Eleanor, who said that with Jupiter and the South Node both in Leo, the self-work done by the sign will become impossible to ignore by the end of summer. Over the next year and a half, the South Node will strip away versions of Leo that have been outgrown, causing the sign to lose interest in old defining activities or to realize they no longer want the same life. Because Jupiter is also present, every release makes space for something bigger, and by next year, Leo’s life will look unrecognizable in a positive way, though growing pains may occur in the meantime.
Scorpio is forecast to receive a career upgrade by the end of summer, with the sign’s hard work having been noticed even if it was questioned. The upgrade could come as a promotion or as a job offer that was not sought, but the South Node will also be clearing out the career, forcing Scorpio to let go of a professional identity or goal that has become too small. Eleanor said Jupiter wants to elevate Scorpio, but the sign must stop clinging to a position it has already mastered.
Aquarius will see its social circle change, which may be difficult to accept, as the South Node will make it painfully obvious that some relationships have reached their expiration date over the next year and a half. Eleanor cautioned that not every ending means Aquarius did something wrong, and the sign may realize some connections were one-sided or held onto out of nostalgia. With Jupiter’s blessing, Aquarius will meet someone special who changes what the sign expects from partnership, making the loss of old friends worth it.
Taurus is set to rebuild its foundation, according to Eleanor, who said a home situation that has been stressful will start clearing up, or an event will reveal that the sign is closer to feeling settled than it thought. The idea of home is shifting for Taurus, leading to a sense of stability greater than in years, possibly through meeting someone who feels like home or finding a community that was not known to be sought. That outcome, Eleanor said, is a clear win for the sign.
