August 2026: Total Solar Eclipse in Leo by Rising Sign

The total solar eclipse peaks on Wednesday, August 12, 2026 at 1:36 PM EDT, with the Sun and Moon meeting near 20° Leo. The house that holds that degree in your chart is the part of your life this eclipse came for.

This is the companion piece to my full breakdown of the August 12 total solar eclipse, which walks through the chart in detail. Start there for context, then come back here for your own placement.

Find your rising sign below and read that section. If you are unsure of your rising sign, enter your birth date, birth time, and birth city on my free birthchart form and you will have it in about two minutes. Start with your rising sign and check your Sun sign afterward, since the rising tends to describe your lived experience more accurately.

Three Things That Apply to Everyone

The Sun is eclipsed in its own sign. Leo belongs to the Sun, so this eclipse lands smack dab at the source. Leo embodies confidence, creativity, romance, leadership, and everything to do with being seen. When the planet that governs visibility blacks out and comes back, we can bet we are going to experience some force. Whatever you've been doing to publicly shine, that method is coming to an end because the way forward will be with growth and new ways of authenticity.

Mercury and Jupiter are in Leo alongside the eclipse. Mercury handles the language, communication, ideas, and the news. Jupiter handles growth and opportunity. Jupiter arrived in Leo at the end of June (2026) and remains there until July of next year, so this eclipse serves as the starting point on a much lengthier run.

The effects take about six months to play out or see a shift. Eclipse week is typically the first domino in a sequence of dominos to get knocked over. Over the next 6 months, with attention and connection to self you will begin to notice growth and change. Write things down and take note of everything. The significant situation that surfaces this month will make so much more sense in 6 months. If possible, try not to make major decisions while the eclipse is still activated, since we don't really see the full picture until the end. BUT...huge BUT....live your life. Don't stop life ever. Always follow your intuition. Do track what shows up for you, track what leaves or expires in your life, and make moves once you see the full picture.

NOTE: Eclipses arrive in pairs, and this one opens a season that wraps up two weeks later with a partial lunar eclipse at 5° Pisces on August 28 (mark that on your calendar). The Leo eclipse starts something and the Pisces one that follows tends to show you what has to clear out for that new thing to have room in your life.

♌ Leo Rising: 1st House

Identity, body, appearance, and how you connect with the world.

This eclipse is yours in the most literal sense. It lands right on your rising sign, which turns this into a rare window for reintroducing yourself to everyone including you in the most authentic way. The person you have been is wrapping up their chapter, and the one arriving next is ready to show up for you. With Jupiter already parked in your sign, opportunity has a habit of following you whenever you show up. Accept the visibility even when your voice shakes and you feel uncomfortable.

♍ Virgo Rising: 12th House

Rest, closure, solitude, the unconscious, and everything running behind the scenes.

In the tarot deck, your card is the Hermit. The hermit take space and time to itself. Your experience of this eclipse is quiet. Some weight you have been hauling around, whether it's resentment, a bad habit, or a chapter that ended a while ago (on paper, verbally or over text), is finally ready to completely close before your season starts. You may feel some friction here. This is a good time to sleep, journal, and spend unscheduled time alone to let the deeper layers of your journey sort themselves out. Whatever you put down for good during this window makes room for a much bolder and brighter cycle ahead.

♎ Libra Rising: 11th House

Friendships, networks, community, and long-term goals.

Your social world is re-working itself. Some people arrive and quickly become important while others will drift off with (surprisingly) very little drama and as a reality check, it's usually the ones you outgrew a while back but weren't ready to accept it. Right now, collaboration and finding the room full of people who match your belief systems and morals is where you're moving into. Whatever you build over the next year is going to be alongside like-minded people so be sure to let them in.

♏ Scorpio Rising: 10th House

Career, public reputation, authority, and legacy.

The eclipse lands on your professional life, and this placement moves quickly. A promotion, a sudden change of direction, or an unexpected opportunity to lead are all within range right now. When you grow out of a role, an eclipse here has a way of ending it on your behalf. It's like "Thank you, next (and greater)!". Don't think small right now. Aim high during this window and let people watch you do work you are proud of.

♐ Sagittarius Rising: 9th House

Travel, higher education, publishing, belief, and meaning.

A trip (either domestically, internationally or through couch travel), taking a new course, or having one idea that keeps bugging you can redirect the next twelve months. When your views and ideas become to big for its current container, the container is going to burst. That's what the eclipse will rearrange for you.

♑ Capricorn Rising: 8th House

Shared resources, intimacy, debt, inheritance, and transformation.

This eclipse activates joint finances and the intimate business of tying your life to someone else's. Investments, loans, and inheritances can settle or reorganize during this period. Take an inventory of what you owe, what is owed to you, and the places where trust in these areas has potential to expand.

♒ Aquarius Rising: 7th House

Partnership, marriage, close one on one relationships, and open adversaries.

The eclipse sits across the wheel from your rising sign, which means it reaches you through other people. Partnerships get more serious, you receive clarity on the way forward, or they may reach their natural ending, and that applies to business arrangements and platonic friendships as much as romantic relationships. Don't just hang around while you wait for someone to initiate anything. Instead, state your own position clearly and let their answer follow. Relationships with a solid foundation usually come through this stronger, and the ones running on autopilot of lack of initiation probably won't last.

♓ Pisces Rising: 6th House

Daily routine, work habits, health, service, and pets.

Your version of this eclipse is practical and unglamorous, but so purposeful. New job, revised schedule, or a health signal that turns out to be worth listening to and taking action on are all typical. Small daily choices compound fast over the next half year, which means the ordinary Tuesday version of your life is exactly where the change needs to be made. Note for Pisces: the lunar eclipse on August 28 falls in Pisces, so this entire season hits you twice. This is a great opportunity for improvement and making changes that will help your journey.

♈ Aries Rising: 5th House

Creativity, romance, play, children, and self-expression.

Leo is at home in the fifth house, which makes this one of the warmer placements this eclipse can take. A romance can ignite, a creative project can finally find its audience, or plans involving children can suddenly speed up. Your assignment is simple and possibly a little frightening? Build the thing, speak your feelings and just take the chance. Moving outside the comfort zone is necessary. Ask yourself : "Is the thing I'm doing scary and makes me feel bad? Or is it scary but also exciting and expansive." Go with expansion and growth!

♉ Taurus Rising: 4th House

Home, family, roots, and your private life.

Your foundation gets stirred and shaken up some. Relocation, remodeling, a changed dynamic with a relative, or a realization of what home even means to you are all on the cards on the table. You're most likely to have active feelings that sit close to the surface throughout this window, so use them as useful data about what your needs are. Build the foundation your future requires of you, there's no better time to start.

♊ Gemini Rising: 3rd House

Communication, siblings, local community, learning, and daily conversation.

Your voice is in the spotlight. An email, offer, sudden opportunity, or a piece of work can put you in front of people who have never encountered you before. Writers, teachers, speakers, and anyone whose job is connecting people: consider this your sign to start and put yourself out there! Mercury rules your chart and happens to be sitting in Leo right beside the eclipse, which gives your words extra weight and validity right now. Speak up!

♋ Cancer Rising: 2nd House

Money, resources, possessions, and self-worth.

The eclipse lands on what you earn and what you value. One source of income can wind down or completely disappear, so a stronger one has room to start. Or maybe you finally ask to be paid what your work is worth. Where you start realizing "Yeah, I deserve more." (because you do). Over the next six months, watch what parts of your 2nd house themes take hold and stick around. For some people it turns out to be the balance in the account. For others it's a mobile skill they can take when they move, or a slist of trusty people who would answer the phone at midnight for them.

A Note on Free Will

These are house themes, and every choice inside them belongs to you. Astrology maps the terrain and you pick the route. Read your rising sign first, your Sun sign second, and trust what you recognize in your own life over any forecast, mine included.

New to houses or eclipses? My guide to the lunar nodes and my natal chart basics series both cover the fundamentals. And the main eclipse post has the full chart breakdown.

On Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at 1:36 PM EDT (10:36 AM PDT / 5:36 PM UTC), the Moon slides directly in front of the Sun at 20°02' of Leo, and a New Moon becomes a total solar eclipse. Greatest eclipse follows minutes later at 5:47 PM UTC.

This is the opening event of the second eclipse season of 2026 and it definitely has a double dose of fire energy.

If you have been feeling like something in your life is reorganizing itself, changing or there's an upheaval with your comfort zone, but not sure what exactly is happening at the same time, this is why.

Let me walk you through what's going on, why this particular eclipse carries so much weight, and how you can work with it in a way that helps you feel grounded instead of flailing through it with eyes wide shut.

First, a Quick Refresher on Eclipses

Eclipses only happen near the lunar nodes, the two points where the Moon's orbital path crosses the ecliptic. That is why they arrive in seasons roughly every six months instead of showing up at every New and Full Moon. (If the nodes are new territory for you, start with my lunar nodes explanation and then come back here.)

A solar eclipse is a New Moon on energy drinks. Every New Moon plants a seed and a solar eclipse plants one with force, on a timeline that you didn't really plan for. The story that begins here unfolds over roughly the next six months.

Total solar eclipses are the rarest and most dramatic version of this. The Moon covers the Sun completely, and for a couple of minutes the sky goes dark in the middle of the day. It can be both disorienting and amazing to witness.

Ancient cultures across the world read these eclipses as sacred moments. Many traditions still do. Both Hindu practice and Diné (Navajo) tradition treat eclipse time as a period for stillness, prayer, and staying inside rather than spectating. Whatever your own practice looks like, the underlying instinct is worth adopting...meaning... this is a good time to go quiet and pay attention.

The Degree That Matters: 20° Leo

The eclipse falls at 20°02' of Leo, which means it lands most directly on anyone with planets or chart angles between roughly 15° and 25° of the fixed signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius.

If that describes your chart, this eclipse is very personal to you. You are in a life turning point right now and I think you know it. While this is a purposeful turning point that will catapult you in the right direction, let's acknowledge that it can feel kinda yucky. That's ok though it's temporary.

Everyone else still feels this eclipse too just in different areas of their chart. Every chart contains all twelve signs, so Leo is somewhere in yours whether or not you have planets there. That area of your chart is what this eclipse is working on, and your rising sign is all you need to find it.

So here is the shortcut. Head to the companion post, which house this eclipse is impacting for you, find your rising sign, and read that section. It will tell you exactly which part of your life is up for review.

If you do not know your rising sign yet, it takes two minutes. Enter your birth date, your birth time, and your birth city at Astro.com or Cafe Astrology, and it will tell you. Birth time matters here, so use the most accurate one you can find. Your birth certificate is the gold standard.

Curious what the rest of your chart is doing? My natal chart basics series walks through the whole wheel from scratch.

Understanding the Nodes

To understand the energy of when the nodes change signs and how you personally will be impacted, you need to know what the Nodes mean and represent:

They're NOT planets. They're mathematical points where the Moon's orbital path crosses the Sun's. My favorite thing about the nodes is that they quite literally map out our life path. History lesson: Cultures all over the world, looked at an eclipse and each independently decided that something was "eating the light". Dragons and serpents show up again and again. The version astrology inherited comes from India, where the nodes are Rahu and Ketu, the severed head and tail of a being that keeps chasing the Sun and Moon across the sky. That image traveled through Persian and Arabic astrology into Europe, where the nodes became the Dragon's Head and the Dragon's Tail. We still use those names today.

The North Node = the head, the mouth and the whole appetite or the hunger of the dragon.

The South Node = the tail or the part that is intended to release and let go.

When the Sun or Moon passed through either end the dragon swallows the light. We know this better (in modern day) as an eclipse! The Full Meaning of Each Node South (SN) is our comfort zone. This is all the skills you default to, the identity you take on everyday and the place that feels most natural. BUT .... there's a slight problem. This is also the place where you get stuck and prevent yourself from growing. This is the place that (according to astrology), you've lived comfortably in for multiple lives. The goal is to step away from the South and move to the North North (NN) is our North Star. It's uncharted and unfamiliar territory. It can be scary and chaotic feeling. BUT...it generates a hunger in us. Sometimes if might feel like we are pretending to be someone we aren't because we are moving AWAY from the comfort zone. That's the point! Example: If your SN is in Gemini, you are heavily reliant on logic and analysis. Directly across from Gemini is Sagittarius so this would be your North Node (NN). The goal for this lifetime is to move toward Sag energy where you focus on freedom and expansion of the mind and gain your knowledge through lived experience. One more thing: the nodes always sit exactly opposite each other. So they describe a pair of signs and a pair of houses at the same time.

The Lunar Nodes Enter Aquarius and Leo : Mini Guide to the Next 18 Months!

When: July 26, 2026 to March 26, 2028

What: The North Node moves into Aquarius, the South Node moves into Leo

Why it's important: Eclipses occur in the nodes. When the nodes move into new signs, it means we are going to be learning a new set of lessons during the eclipse.

Something astronomical is happening today. The North Node leaves Pisces and moves into Aquarius and the South Node leaves Virgo and moves into Leo. They will be visiting the nodes until March 26, 2028.

This is a good cycle to start paying attention to the nodes if you've never paid attention before. They're not planets or objects, but they are two mathematical points where the Moon's orbital path crosses the Sun's apparent path through the sky.

They influence the path of our life's journey more than a lot of people understand.

The Story of the North and South Nodes

Various cultures landed on the same image for these two nodal points: a dragon that's cut in half, circling the sky. The North Node was the head, the mouth, the whole dang appetite. The South Node was the tail or the part that lets go. When the Sun or Moon passed through either end of the dragon in the sky, the dragon swallowed the light, and you got an eclipse.

The South Node is the material you already have and it's your comfort zone. It's the skills and behaviors you default to and the identity you know how to perform with. It is comfortable, and when we are focused on expanding and growing in life, comfort is a problem. The South Node is the place where we don't see results from our efforts. It's the safe place that can often keep us stagnant.

The North Node is the unfamiliar, unknown and a lil bit scary of a direction. It generates passion, hunger for growth, gives a sense of urgency, and a slightly chaotic energy that promotes discomfort within us. It's the awkwardness of stepping into something you've never done. It's uncomfortable. That discomfort is the point though. The North Node, is our journey's "NORTH STAR". Growth on the nodal axis never feels natural at the beginning, but it's the direction we need to go if we want to grow and level up.

NOTE : The two nodes always sit exactly opposite each other, so they always describe a pair of signs and a pair of houses simultaneously.

Leo + Aquarius

Leo, on the South Node, is the self as the main character. Leo energy is all about personal recognition, being in the spotlight and being seen through creative ventures, romance, or in the public spotlight.

Aquarius, on the North Node, is the self as a participant. It is the group, network, the cause, the shared project, the innovation and the community. It's going against the grain with intention and it's all about contributing one's originality to the collective from a space of authenticity.

The Collective Experience

On a collective level, expect this to show up as an increased desire for community and people power, mutual aid, unions, community infrastructure, and technology built for a shared benefit for the greater good. The shadow side of this can show up as a loss of patience with people who put themselves on pedestals. Think about celebrity and influencer culture. We've already seen how it's having a negative effect. People are opening their eyes and are disgusted with the worship that comes along with the culture. We have spent the last era treating certain public figures, founders, celebrities, influencers and political leaders as untouchable entities, but the South Node in Leo energy, tears down and dismantles all of that.

This goes for anyone: Reputations that are built personal charisma, "15 minutes of fame", in-authentic, self-serving behavior, greed or secrets will have an incredibly much harder time under this axis.

The goal here is to be seen, to be a part of groups, to be in a community, to start the thing you want to do, but create a foundation that will last as an evergreen experience. Build, join, create and do it from a place of love. Do it from a place that will help the greater good of humanity. Do it because you love it, you're passionate about it, because you know it's a gift of yours. The world needs your gifts.

The world is rejected falsities, frauds, greed, closed minds, scarcity, and self-serving public behavior. The universe does NOT play.

A shift from mutable to fixed

Every sign belongs to one of three modalities:

Cardinal : signs taht begin a season.
Fixed: signs that sit in the middle of a season.
Mutable: signs dissolve a season and move us into the next.

Pisces and Virgo is where the nodes have been, are both mutable. Aquarius and Leo are both fixed signs.

The last eighteen months of nodal work were adaptive and flexible. Lines blurred easily, plans tended to stay provisional or interchangeable and keeping your options open or remaining not fully committed was fine.

Fixed signs work totally different. They DO fully commit. The nodes in fixed signs are asking you to decide what you want and then push you to keep moving in that direction (even when you're no longer interested. It's a time for mindset and discipline over motivation).

This is what will create that evergreen, longevity. That's the gift this new axis is revealing to us. For anyone living a NON authentic life, this fixed energy WILL create difficulty.

Why are we moving backwards? Actually....

The nodes move backwards through the zodiac naturally. Just about everything in the sky travels from Aries toward Taurus toward Gemini and so on. The nodes go the other way, which is why the North Node has arrived in Aquarius from Pisces rather than from Capricorn.

Since a backwards movement is their natural state of motion, we aren't disoriented like we would be through a Mercury retrograde for example. What we WILL see though is former situations come back into our lives. People reappear, conversations you thought were finished suddenly reopen, or situations you thought were handled are like popping up for you to close them out. This is how this transit does its work. It brings back the same shit so you can respond in a different way and LEARN.

The full nodal cycle takes roughly eighteen and a half years, which means the last time the North Node was in Aquarius was December 2007 to August 2009. Before that, May 1989 to November 1990.

Go back through old photographs and calendars. Who were you spending time with? What group were you part of? What ended badly, or ended without closure? Pay attention because these are the situations and people you're probably going to be working with. It will be a different approach, different way of managing but exact same lesson will be in place for you to learn.

Pay attention to your chart!

Since the nodes are traveling for the next eighteen months, pay attention to where this lands in your chart. They will move through one pair of houses and the axis of those houses can dictate the theme of what might be circling back to you.

Find the house where Aquarius falls, and that is the department of your life that is now under review. The area that is uncomfortable but that you need to move toward.

The opposite house holds the South Node, and that is where you are being asked to move away from (the comfort zone). If you need to grab your birth chart really quick, you can do that here!

The new eclipse series

Eclipses only happen near the nodal axis.

Solar Eclipse: New Moon close enough to a node that the Moon blocks the Sun.

Lunar Eclipse:Full Moon close enough that the Earth's shadow covers the Moon.

When the Sun and Moon are within about eleven degrees of a node, that's when the eclipses happen. This is why we have eclipse season twice a year. So, when the nodes change signs, the entire eclipse cycle relocates.

Like I said before, eclipses have fallen across Pisces and Virgo for the past year and a half. Now, they will be in Aquarius and Leo, and they will stay there until early 2028.

We already got a preview of this. The solar eclipse on February 17, 2026. Whatever surfaced for you around that date involving friendships, groups, networks, technology, or your intellectual life, is the opening chapter of this story coming up.

Here is the full series on the new axis:

QUICK NOTES:

Mark your calendar and keep an eye on the total solar eclipse on August 2, 2027 is going to be one of the longest totalities of the century, tracking across North Africa and southern Europe. Eclipses of that magnitude tend to correspond with significant developments.

You will also see a partial lunar eclipse in Pisces on August 28, 2026, which sits inside the very first eclipse season of the new cycle. It's not part of this series but it is part of the Pisces and Virgo series we have just left. Eclipse cycles overlap.

They also accelerate whatever the nodes are already doing and can compress several months of changes and shifts into just days. They also tend to bring abrupt endings and unplanned beginnings. So, my best recommendation is to have an awareness of these dates if you want to understand when this cycle has the biggest influence on life changes.

Ok, let's review the Pluto complication...

We did not have this in 2007 to 2009. Pluto is now in Aquarius, and it will be here until the 2040s. Every Aquarius eclipse above happens with Pluto hanging out, and the final one in January 2028 lands almost directly on top of it. Yiiikes!

Why the Yikes? Pluto's territory is power, transformation, shadows, intensity, underlying question of who actually controls a situation, who has leverage, who can end it. Wherever Pluto operates, the energy changes and intensity enters the chat.

Combined with the nodes, this suggests that the karmic material coming back around is going to be both emotional and structural in society and within our own lives. Questions like : "Who holds the deciding vote?" or "Whose name is on the agreement?" are examples of what we will see. If you are revisiting a situation from 2007 to 2009, expect the power dynamic in it to be the part that comes to the forefront around this time (January 2028).

The North Node and Pluto meet exactly on November 16, 2027. Pay attention!

Pluto rewards self-discipline, strong foundations, having full control of your emotions and composure. It punishes non-committal energy. The people who do well under Pluto transits are the ones who can make that decision deliberately and know what they will and will not accept. It rewards making those decisions then standing firm in their beliefs without needing external approval. The people who will struggle are the ones who will let their situation decide for them.

The best outcome from this energy in January, 2028:

Expect and work toward a renegotiation. Remember to approach returning situations differently. Terms might get revisited and control ends up being evenly distributed between the parties involved. Under this configuration that is the strongest and most balanced result.

The Jupiter factor

One more piece of this puzzle worth noting is that Jupiter is currently in Leo and will meet the South Node three times:

November 12, 2026
February 22, 2027
April 23, 2027

Jupiter energy expands what it touches while the South Node holds an energy of release and unattachment. Having them together is weird but it can mean that whatever you are meant to do totally expands into a state of abundance but not before your old identity creeps in to make one last case for itself to stick around. Tempting huh?! No! Stop that!

At this time expect a good offer your old self would accept or an opportunity that would place you back into a role you have outgrown (happening around the dates listed above). But you know better my friend!

The nice thing is that Jupiter gives you a proper look at the old you and all that you are releasing, so the letting go may feel like loss, but it's a shedding of a skin you no longer need. Allow the new glittery skin to shine through. It's a total gain, not a loss.

Is this your nodal return?

If you have the North Node in Aquarius and the South Node in Leo in your natal chart, this transit is a nodal return, and it is a significant one.

The nodes take about 18.6 years to complete a circuit, so returns arrive at roughly ages 18/19, 36/37, 54/56, and 72/74.

First nodal return sits right at the edge of adult life.
The second coincides with a serious reassessment of the path you committed to in your twenties.
The third and fourth land near retirement and elderhood respectively.

If you are approaching one, find a working balance between your analytical brain, and your creative, expressive brain that is willing-to-be-seen.

Halfway between each return (roughly ages 9, 28, 46, and 65) the nodes reach the opposite side of the sky from where they sat when you were born. This is called a nodal reversal. It tends to arrive as a sudden flip in a long-standing pattern. This represents you rejecting, refusing or no longer putting up with something you did for years.

You will need your birth time to know where your natal nodes sit, or at least a birth chart calculator and your birth date.

Ok So What to Do NOW?

Be actively aware and take action. Do not be passive.

Go back in time... Look at December 2007 to August 2009 (also 1989 to 1990 if you were around for it). Write down what you find.

Pay attention to your thoughts... When you notice a pull toward attention, validation, or being the one who gets credit. Ask yourself why you feel the need for these energies? What set it off, what void is it trying to fill, and what pattern does it belong to? Observing it, acknowledging it and actively re-balancing is the whole assignment.

Move toward community... You won't be rewarded for going at it alone. Like I said, do the thing, join the group, contribute on a bigger scale. Let other people carry part of it.

Decide your own terms early... This is critical. With Pluto involved, the situations that go badly are the ones where nobody established boundaries, built a foundation or determined what they would accept until it was too late.

Audit everything... Where are you overextending for other people, and where are you holding yourself back out of pride. This axis fails at both ends, and most people have one of each.

Pace yourself and stop treating repetition as failure... You have until March 2028. Eclipse seasons typically feel like pressure cookers and mostly likely will generate a false sense of urgency. Just know that most of that urgency is not real.

Whew we made it!

If you're still reading. Thank you! I'm glad you are taking initiative to fully understand how the collective and you as an individual may be impacted.

Tracking nodes goes back to ancient astrological traditions where we have treated the North Node as a point of increase and the South Node as a point of depletion. Whatever you believe about the North and South node, the pattern of the eighteen-year return is very widely observable. Look back eighteen years in your own life and you will almost certainly find a story that has not been completed. March 2028 is your new deadline to close it out. You got this!

The Barbault Basket 2026

The Barbault Basket is HERE

July 19th -21st Total Activation Window (July 15th - 24th) We’re literally witnessing one of the biggest astrological moments of our lifetimes right now y’all. July 2026 is what astrologers have been talking about for YEARS. It’s called the Barbault Basket and It’s a rare planetary configuration that marks a shift from big big heavy energy into more creative and constructive energy. 4 Slow moving planets Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto all form in the sky so when you “connect the dots” the shape looks like a basket. French astrologer André Barbault identified this decades ago as a turning point in human civilization.

What’s happening right now:

Jupiter in Leo = your personal creative confidence, heart, authentic leadership Pluto in Aquarius = systems changing, restructured power, communities reorganizing Uranus in Gemini = you’re WAKING UP, new ideas, stories that no longer fit the narrative dropping like dead flies. Neptune in Aries = turning beliefs to ACTION, more compassion Okay but what does this actually mean for us? You’re part of this shift so you might as well be intentional about it.

If your Rising, Sun, or Moon is in Leo, Aquarius, Gemini, or Aries, you’re getting hit extra hard with this energy. But everyone has something shifting in their chart right now.

Journal / Thought Prompts

> How can I show up more authentically? > What communities align with my values? > What old belief systems or habits I’ve grown out of? > How can I turn my dreams or visions into action and make them real? Consider this energy to be like the “bones” of a structure or building. The scaffolding is up, but we still have to build. What we’ve been seeing: The downfall and collapse of broken societal structures that aren’t working anymore. That’s why the world is on fire. What is broken must burn to the ground, so a new era can rise from the ashes. What humanity is capable of: Stepping into a more cooperative, equitable era. Where we finally get to fix the foundations properly, but it takes all of us. What to do NOW: Notice where you’re giving your energy away. Notice who and what energizes you versus what drains you. Look at your media diet. What and how much are you consuming? Does it fall in line with your authentic beliefs? Small, intentional shifts are powerful because they cause a ripple effect into the universe. The next few days challenge you to get real with yourself. The planets are quite literally supporting you and the energy to do it.

XOXO, Sarah!
