About August 2026
Emperor Augustus followed Julius Caesar's example almost to the letter: just as July honored Caesar, August was carved out of Sextilis ('the sixth,' its original numeral name) by Senate vote in 8 BC, with a day reportedly shifted from February to give it the same 31-day length as July. The month brings the last real push of summer heat to the Northern Hemisphere and an early hint of spring to the Southern Hemisphere. Peridot and spinel serve as birthstones, gladiolus and poppy as birth flowers, and the zodiac runs from Leo to Virgo around the 22nd or 23rd. Modern historians treat the February-borrowed day as a widely repeated account rather than a fully verified historical certainty.
August is a major harvest month across much of the temperate Northern Hemisphere for grains, stone fruits, and many vegetable crops planted earlier in the growing season, keeping farm labor demand elevated through the month.
August is historically one of the quietest months for stock market trading volume in the US and Europe, as many institutional traders take vacation during the period.
