August is eclipse season, so you can expect the weeks ahead to be incredibly dramatic, with twists, turns, and changes underway.
The Total Solar Eclipse and Leo New Moon on the 12th brings huge emphasis to key players, star performers, and lends focus on our artistic spirit. Jupiter now settled in fiery Leo gives extra gravitas to this sector of the skies, while the karmic North Node now in Aquarius suggests a see-saw: creators, influencers or the talent vs. their audience, or perhaps significant advances in technology.
A Grand Air Trine on the 7th mirrors this theme, with Venus entering Libra, the Moon, Mars and Uranus in Gemini, and Pluto and the North Node sustaining their position in Aquarius. We could all do well to consider people, relationships and friends cheering us on from the rafters, but also our instincts to be playful or inspired.
Virgo Season takes us toward Autumn from August 23rd, with a Partial Lunar Eclipse and Pisces Full Moon in the early hours of the 28th. Anything goes with Uranus playing into this lunation, so expect the unexpected.

The way you express yourself, communicate and present yourself and your ideas could factor this month, yet relationships are also a major focus.
A partnership, and what you share may require trust or a commitment on paper, so be ready to talk through important opportunities, ensuring both parties are happy with what’s agreed on. Finances may play into this, and an understanding of what you both give and take.
Pisces (Feb 19 – March 20)
There’s a major focus on your job, a health practice or systems that support your home, income and wellbeing this month, Pisces. It’s possible developments that help you manage your schedule or physical constitution require privacy, or a trusted friend’s involvement.
