August | Pivotal Month

Eclipses and So Much More

We start with Chiron retrograde.

Chiron entered Taurus on June 19.

Since then, we may have felt like our self-worth has taken a hit.

Or our money.

Or our sense of safety.

Now Chiron is retrograde, so we are going within to reflect and review the wound.

This is where we ask, “Where have I been questioning my value?”

Because sometimes just understanding the wound heals it.

All the Inner Planets change signs.

The mood completely shifts this month.

Venus enters Libra.

Our relationships feel more harmonious less critical.

Mercury enters Leo.

Our thinking is more playful and less moody.

Mars enters Cancer.

We are more protective of our family and less all over the place.

The Sun enters Virgo.

We start to plan our day-to-day schedule for the fall.

Mercury changes signs again and enters Virgo right after the Sun.

Our thinking starts focusing on the details.

The Nodes (And Destiny) Shift

The Mean Nodes change signs.

Goodbye North Node in Pisces.

Hello North Node in Aquarius.

New Moon in Leo Eclipse

This is a South Node eclipse.

New Moons are meant for starting something new, but the South Node is about letting things go.

So when you bring these two together, the new beginning comes from what we are releasing.

We know how to shine at this point.

So now it’s time to figure out how to do it in a new way

We are letting go of needing to feel seen to feel validated.

Letting go of trying so hard and as a result…

actually getting seen in a more authentic way.

We are learning that Less is More.

Full Moon in Pisces Eclipse

Full moons are culmination points.

Eclipses are pivot points.

Near the North Node it’s what we are striving for.

But the Pisces Era is over.

And this is the Grand Finale.

This is the final release of the Pisces era.

The era of being compassionate to the point of sacrificing ourselves is over.

This is about coming together with other people as equals.

Because we matter just as much as other people.

We show up for them, and they show up for us.

But we are allowed to have healthy boundaries.

We can have boundaries and still be kind.

And we don’t have to feel guilty for the good things in our lives.

We don’t have to feel bad for having a blessing that someone else doesn’t have.

We don’t have to carry other people’s pain.

This is a final cleanse of the grief.

And the final chance to point ourselves towards our dreams.

And because Pisces disposits to Neptune in Aries,

this has been about taking action on the dream.

We all should have already been doing this.

But this is the last call.

What is interesting is these two eclipses are the end of one nodal cycle

and the beginning of the next.

The new is seeded while the old is still ending.

And this is a beautiful example of that playing out in the sky.
