Yesterday's Pisces Lunar Eclipse opens a profound cycle of spiritual & intuitive recalibration, marking the start of a Pisces-Virgo eclipse set continuing into 2027. This eclipse colors the coming six-month period with deep introspection and potential transformation.

, the final zodiac sign, governs the numinous realms of the unconscious, intuition, and spiritual tether. This eclipse raises up old beliefs and challenges us to confront and release our outdated narratives, mental vices, and constraints that have limited our perceptions. It acts as a catalyst for unearthing long-buried intuitions, longings, and soul-level commitments.

Astrologically, Neptune's conjunction with the eclipse (at home in Pisces and at the critical degree) amplifies psychic receptivity and blurs the boundaries between the conscious and unconscious mind. Concurrently, introduces a multiplicity of possibilities, while also risking scattered focus. in Pisces provides measured pacing, urging the practical application of our spiritual insights.

This eclipse calls for a delicate balance between expansiveness and discernment. It prompts a reevaluation of how we integrate our spiritual understanding with our daily lives and routines. The energy of this eclipse will continue to unfold and evolve over the coming months, potentially reshaping our relationship with our inner world, deepest knowing, and our perception of reality.

We're compelled now to examine the interplay between our vital, secret, interior voice and our rational mind. This eclipse is an opportunity to align more authentically with our spiritual, connective purpose and growth, challenging us to trust in the wisdom of the unseen while remaining grounded in the practical world.

(I've had this one ready to go for awhile, hoping for some balance back. Happy dynamic-duo heading home.)

As the intense eclipse season subsides and Mercury's shadow fades, we come out of a deep period of introspection and concentrated navel-gazing. The tight gang of planets traveling together since January is breaking up now -- energetic, intentional seeds carried on to rich, newly turned soil.

With in luxurious **us and striding confidently into , we're called to broadly survey our lives with clear eyes and recalibrated maturity. The influence invites us to appreciate and foster the beauty and abundance surrounding us, while Mars ignites our bravery, desire, and corporeality, urging us to take bold action toward our deep cravings.

It's time for implementation after reflecting on the results of our inward journeys and utilizing the knowledge gained to translate it into initiation.

As the planets spread out across the again, our perspectives stretch, and we find ourselves thinking, planning, and feeling more holistically. We no longer wish to be secluded, but rather to step out in novel and vivid ways into the world. We continue to move away from Saturn-ruled asceticism and insecure overthinking.

The cosmic energies collect now enabling us to develop nourishing relationships, pursue our desires, and open ourselves up to the technicolor spectrum of potential. We can now be fueled by inner wisdom and the courage to manifest and conduct our dreams, especially related to Venus' ability to foster affection, and Mars' penchant for pursuit.

Venus in Ta**us and Mars in Aries are about our bodies and being itself; the skin, sinew, muscles, and flesh, and how they encounter the world... how our skin opens up on a humid night, and our fingers bravely trace everything we want to commit to memory.  

There's a window now to alchemize past hurts, generating a golden energetic ore for fortifying a brighter, more physically & spiritually integrated future. It's a season to embrace and honor our hearts and paint our lives with bold, updated, authentic colors.

One of the most impactful influences of the year is here, on the heels of soul-facilitating shifts from the eclipses.

The Jupiter-Uranus happens every 14 years, but the last time the two met in **us, as they are now, it was 1941.

Ta**us rules the land, the sensory, being sated, matter and material. expands, rules fortune, higher thought, , and wisdom. And rules , change through shock, rebellion, and eccentricity.

And, because Ta**us is ruled by , there is a frame of relational, tender, indulgent, actualization.

This rare and amped transit historically produces changes to and the expansion of: technology related to agriculture, innovations related to the earth, societal breakthroughs that disrupt the norm (WWII is when women entered the workforce), economic disruptions, and focus on nature and the tangible.

We will see these shifts personally too, in the house/area of life Ta**us rules in your chart, based on the position and condition of Venus.

It's a time of great activity, total shifts, and major events we will see unfold over the next several months and years. And, with just past the halfway point, it's a time of deeply important repair, reconsideration, and recalibration.

There is no advice aside from staying as open as possible. Uranus also rules electrical activity so expect your own brain, along with Jupiter and Venus' influence, to surprise you and make ground toward manifesting a more authentic, genuine, and pleasurable sensory reality for yourself based on new realizations.

This moon has the energy of seeds splitting and tendrils reaching and establishing strong rootstock. What we want to innovate, build, and construct related to the area of life Capricorn rules in our charts is heavily favored, especially if we are doing things differently than we ever have before and embracing discomfort to grow.

as stations today!

The final of the year in the sign of the brave & intrepid archer (who aims high to hit the mark) introduces new ideas and themes, at the same time Mercury in commands a review of our understanding related to the business of life and how we conduct ourselves.

The rules and playbook we use for communication & comprehension is in need of calibration and rewriting, and the next weeks will show us where our desires and hopes are out of step with our ability to message and be understanding. We will need to begin closing that distance to maintain our momentum and capitalize on Sagittarius' many gifts.

Good communication, listening, comprehension, and integration require courage, humility, and an equitable outlook.

Use this transit to show up for yourself and your connections.


**us

Recent navel-gazing from the quiet parade of planets has left us with our eyes on our own work, but that's started to lift and now energy is beginning to rise.

All eyes are on newly-minted as *both* of October's eclipses are ruled by freshly-stationed-direct which is about to be tested in the most significant way.
**us **useclipse

stationary direct! Finally, the sweet benefic begins forward motion again, allowing us to implement the insight and realizations we've picked up these last 40 days.

What did you learn about how you prevent or qualify the and in your life? How did you observe your behaviors related to , , and self-worth as outdated and in need of reconstruction?

Our **us and friends will especially begin to get their spark back now, as Venus rules the signs.

We still have a bunch of activity going on, but we need it, due to a backlog of unaddressed behaviors and beliefs due to so much greenlight forward motion earlier this year.

The tacticians and dissectors ( , , ) of the won't mind this so much, but many of us might feel a bit like our wheels are spinning. Use this time to fuel inner and create new distillates related to beliefs, behavior, and values.

On Aug 8th, Venus aligns with Black Lilith at 23° and then squares & strikes sparks w/ Uranus in **us. Venus was last sq Uranus back on 7/2.

This incandescence marks the energetic peak of the retrograde 40-day cycle, making it an auspicious moment for introspection & shift.

Black Moon Lilith, the point calculated when the Moon reaches its farthest distance from Earth, is key to our most raw and repressed desires – those often unwelcome, and challenging to express in reality. Lilith speaks to our shadow; the threatening and liberating feminine we all hold, compelling us to confront uncomfortable aspects we shy away from looking at.

In tandem, Venus and Lilith square off against , the cosmic disruptor & liberator. As emotions simmer during Venus retro., they may also surface in unexpected ways. The aspect between Lilith & Uranus challenges notions of our status quo, igniting a desire to break free from rusty patterns and liberate ourselves, our desires, and truth.

Amidst potential disruptions this alignment can shake free revelations about where our desires need us to rebel against our stasis & complacency. This transit can illuminate transformation we'll want to embrace now, or potentially have a more disruptive experience when Venus squares Uranus again on 9/29.

Lilith holds deep significance, representing the suppressed, raw, aching aspects of our psyche and primal nature. Associated with our most authentic and instinctual desires and difficult to express openly for fear of shame, judgment or exposure, Lilith is exception, independence, sensuality, and unapologetic authenticity.

Lilith points to the need for integrating our unrefined and unfiltered emotions to achieve greater self-awareness and personal evolution. Lilith points out that we are repeating the same, safe behaviors that keep us repressed, and commands that we confront our own unsavory behaviors and shame because once understood, we'll cultivate our greatest liberation & wisdom, and with this aspect, related to love and self worth.

Adding to the shifting vibes, from 7/11 to 7/28 quick-silver messenger journeys through resplendent, regal , illuminating necessary change in our cognition, comprehension, and discourse. During this transit, our mental faculties are bolstered by uncommon confidence, as we set our sights on bold objectives.

With Mercury in Leo, our thinking assumes an assertive, opulent tone. We consider grand plans and cultivate extravagant aims, fueling our personal drive. Intricacies might feel frustrating, fussy, and detracting from our goals which can shape up as flamboyant or theatrical.

Communication becomes more passionate, characterized by an enchanting and persuasive cadence, and our messaging adopts eloquence in order to captivate our audiences. Our words, body language, silence, and micro-expressions carry a resonance that conveys our conviction and reveals our determination.

This transit delivers a rich focus on our ruminations. Due to this, we need to be careful not to become myopic or erase alternate viewpoints. It's important to be self-fueled and visionary, but if we end up isolating ourselves it doesn't matter.

We're urged now toward self-expression but don't ignore attentive listening; a chorus of perspectives allows us to shine, as well as strengthens our relationships and reputation.

Mercury in Leo empowers us toward our leadership. And although we'll feel emboldened during this transit, traps of rigidity, ostentation, and overbearing pride can be commonly found. If our pride or righteousness becomes overblown, we can easily sabotage ourselves and have a very Emperor's New Clothes moment.

With Mercury in Leo, our communication transcends conventional boundaries, embracing an assertive and regal essence. Harness these energies to illuminate your desires and drive, and fortify your communities and loved ones for their own transformative odysseys.
