  • August 2026 Eclipse Season

    August 2026 Eclipse Season

    Right now we are in the throes of the August 2026 Eclipse Season, which included a South Node Solar Eclipse in Leo on August 12, 2026 and will also feature a North Node Pisces Lunar Eclipse on August 27, 2026 (or the 28th depending on where you are in the world). August 2026 has some really interesting astrology in general (beyond just the eclipses…though those are the focus of this blog post),and I wouldn’t be surprised if this month feels a little (or a lot!) all over the place. Eclipses are already pretty wild, unpredictable, and, well, all over the place, but something that might intensify any (or all) of the above is the fact that these two eclipses take place along different axes (the Solar Eclipse was along the Leo/Aqua axis, while the Lunar Eclipse is along the Virgo/Pisces axis).

    Disclaimer – How and how much these eclipses impact you personally depends on your personal astrology chart and what they are doing to your chart (house(s) they transit, aspects they make to things in your chart, etc.) – you can’t leave your own chart out of the equation to know how/where/etc. this might play out for you. If you need any help with that (or any kind of astrology reading), you can get a reading from me here 🙂

    WTF is an Eclipse anyway?!

    âšĄïžA Solar Eclipse happens during a New Moon. A Lunar Eclipse happens during a Full Moon
    đŸȘ„ Eclipses take place when the transiting Sun is within roughly 18° (applying or separating) of one of the Lunar Nodes during a New Moon or Full Moon
    đŸ’„A South Node Eclipse happens when the transit Moon is conjunct the South Node. A North Node Eclipse happens when the transit Moon is conjunct the North Node. South Node Eclipses have some kind of tie (or pull) to the “past” and North Node Eclipses have some tie (or push) towards the future.

    Solar Eclipse at 20° Leo on August 12, 2026

    The Solar Eclipse in Leo was a South Node eclipse, meaning these “new beginnings” that New Moon’s tend to bring about might be steeped in SOMETHING from the past (or might be going back to something in the past in some capacity). Past issues coming up that fuck with your identity, ego, individuation, etc. seem possible. Something to consider with this one is how you seek out attention, validation, etc. and to ask yourself if it still serves you (and does it serve ONLY you?). Aquarius, where the North Node is right now, is very collective-focused.

    Look, Leo Energy can be fantastic and warm, but it can also be too loud and proud for it’s own good (the signs can express themselves in “good” ways, in “bad” ways, and in every shade of way in-between). As a real world example of this eclipse in play (because it does, I think, illustrate one of the ways that this energy could/can go) is the whole Steven Forrest showing his ass on the podcast with Ricky Williams by saying a racial slur. I get they were discussing “the shadow” when this word was said (and how racism can and certainly is part of the shadow for some), and that he wasn’t directly saying this TO Williams (who is a black man), but the word (which I’m sure as fuck not going to repeat here) didn’t need to be said. On top of this (all of which was already gross), when people reached out saying how much the word offended them, how hurt they were by his use of the word, etc., he offered an apology that seemed…well….not like an apology. I’m not sure if it was pride exactly that caused the lack of apology, but certainly something like it (or that’s the vibe that I got from watching this whole thing unfold). A comment was also made by him that was something along the lines of “this word is not appropriate to use any more” (that is NOT a verbatim quote – I can’t remember exactly what was said), which is a call back to the past (the South Node’s involvement with this eclipse and a pull back to the past, perhaps). This does beg the question of “WAS IT EVER FUCKING APPROPRIATE TO USE THAT WORD?!” No. I don’t think it ever was. Still though, a call back to the past seemed to occur.
    **Also, to add (which makes the whole thing even more disappointing and gross in general) – I don’t think SF is some kind of raging racist asshole. He (inexcusably) chose to say a really ugly word that hurts people, and never really appologized in any kind of meaningful way that didn’t center himself at helm of the apology. And this is a man who has read for people all over the world, from all walks of life, for 40 some-odd-years…meaning he KNOWS better (or SHOULD know better). So, like, WTF was he doing using that word?! In what world would that be okay AT ALL, in any context or situation?!

    Honestly, this WHOLE thing grossed me out (and disappointed me) so much. Not only what happened and the lack of apology that followed, but also the responses from so many people which I watched and observed from the sidelines (and was grossed out by as well). THIS debacle is why I haven’t written about this eclipse until now and was absent from social media for the most part – sans reddit – for almost two weeks.

    While I gave the example within the astrology community above, I have bared witness to similar themes come about for clients of mine in their own lives. The theme of someone who was/is important (either to them personally or in the sphere/world they “live”) doing something that causes the important person to show naked ass in a way that may not be flattering (to outright gross/disappointing/angering/etc.) for my client(s).

    Lunar Eclipse at 4° Pisces on August 27 & 28, 2026

    The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces does a different kind of thing. It feels like it could bring up thoughts of “where am I going (future-oriented notions with the North Node in Aquarius; this is a North Node eclipse) and “what am I doing” (or “what have I been doing?”) since the Moon in Pisces isn’t always super clear. Regardless of if you do know what you’re doing and/or where you’re going, I could see there being a “crisis” like moment which begs for clarification of things (or to make sure you actually DO know what you’re doing).
    **The “crisis” part comes up because Virgo energy, where the Sun falls during this lunation, can correlate with crisis. Actual crisis could be the case for some, but it’s also possible that it’s just the sense of not knowing where we’re going, or what we’re doing, that can be crisis-fuel all on it’s own.

    Since this one hasn’t occurred (I’m writing this on August 22, 2026), I don’t have a real world example to give you as to how I watched it play out. But! Going with the theme of the the astrology community, I can hope that we (the astrology community) collectively move beyond everything that transpired during the Solar Eclipse. When I say “move beyond,” that in no way means not holding people accountable for shitty things they do (not at all). What I do mean is for us to take what we’ve observed and learned from all of the stuff that went down a couple of weeks ago and flow (Pisces) forward into the future (Aquarius) to create a better way forward. Not sitting and nit-picking on what was was done…because what is done is done. That doesn’t mean to forget it or to excuse it or anything like that, but to move beyond it. The North Node in Aquarius is wanting us to be future focused, and collective focused; to do what’s in the best interest of the collective.

    For those of you not in the astrological community, this can be applied to other things (the astrology community example is just so fucking literal that I couldn’t help but tie it in). If there was a person (or group/situation/etc.) who acted in an entitled, bossy, loud, arrogant, etc. way during the Leo Solar Eclipse, you have a choice about what you do next. Do you hold on to whatever happened? Do you decide to let it go? Pisces energy, where this lunation takes place, is very much about forgiveness & surrender (among other expressions). A person can “forgive” and float on without forgetting (because to forget is a fucking fools game, in my opinion….and yes, I realize opinions are like assholes); these things are NOT the same.

    8 of Cups from different Tarot Decks

    Another thing this Lunar Eclipse brings up in my mind when I think about it is the Eight of Cups in Tarot (illustrated above from the Hermetic Tarot, The Light Seer’s Tarot, and the Prisma Visions Tarot). Not only because of the themes OF this eclipse, also because this card has an affinity for Pisces energy (and specifically the 1st decan of Pisces (ruled by Saturn)…which is where this eclipse takes place; 4° Pisces is in the 1st decan of Pisces). This card can mean lots of things depending on the question at hand and the other cards that come up along side it in a reading, but the general theme is one of walking away from what doesn’t serve you or from things that just aren’t good for you. Under this Lunar Eclipse, some of y’all might find that it’s best to just walk away completely from stuff lit up during the Solar Eclipse (in this case it makes no-nevermind if you forgive or forget; the goal is to just the get tf away from whatever). The detachment, if one goes this way, is very Aquarius North Node coded. In other cases, some of y’all might float on from what was illuminated without completely cutting ties with the person, place, thing, situation….yet not forgetting what transpired and moving forward to accommodate whatever different reality was presented to you (which is another way the Aquarius North Node influence’s could be seen).

    I can’t tell any of y’all what to do in whatever kind of situation that you may find yourself during this eclipse, but, I can give some advice:
    -If there is something that, if you walked away from it, your life would be better, walking away is probably the way to go.
    -If there is something that, if you “forgave” whatever (not forget!), your life would be better, this is probably the way to go.
    -If where you are going or what you are doing isn’t clear (and sort of hits a “crisis” point, mini or major), it might be that something needs to be walked away from to lighten the load and/or clear the path forward into the future. It could also be that you’ve come much further than you think, and that you ARE more clear on what you’re doing and where you’re going (and this moment of “crisis” will pass).
    -Keep your eyes and mind on the future as much as you can, it’s where we’re all heading whether we want to or not. We can either get with the program (even if we’re not sure what the program is yet or the role we play in the program), or we can let the program leave us behind. We can also choose to leave the people, places, things, situations, etc. that don’t seem to be able to get with the program behind as well.

  • Transit Jupiter in Leo (2026 – 2027)

    Transit Jupiter in Leo (2026 – 2027)

    Astrosluts! Transit Jupiter in Leo begins on June 30, 2026 and is another of the planetary shifts that we will see take place throughout the year. Jupiter changing signs isn’t out of the ordinary since Jupiter will change signs roughly every 13 months (meaning damn near every year will see Jupiter change signs at some point). In saying that, though, it’s still a notable one to mention…especially alongside all the other astroweather going on this year.

    Dates for transit Jupiter in Leo
    đŸ”„June 30, 2026 through July 27, 2027
    đŸ”„Jupiter Rx period from December 12, 2026 through April 12, 2027
    **Last time transit Jupiter was in Leo: July 16, 2014 through August 11, 2015. The time before that was from August 1, 2002 through August 27, 2003. **

    Some “Keywords” for WHAT Jupiter may want/need to express:
    *Understanding & Assimilation of Information
    *Beliefs
    *Expansion
    *Overindulgence/Excess
    *Truth
    *Possibilities & Opportunities
    *Abstract Thought
    *Travel
    *Amplification
    *Optimistic & Positive
    *Luck
    *Excessive & Extra

    …and some “keywords” for HOW Leo energy might express itself:
    *Boldly
    *Warm
    *Playful
    *Animated
    *The Showman
    *Commands Respect
    *Confident (or Arrogrant)
    *Bossy
    *Focused on identity, ego & individuation
    *Generous
    *Drama & Theatrics
    *Feeling Good & Having Fun

    What follows below are just some ideas for things that we might see come up on the collective stage in some kind of way (and it’s by no means an exhaustive list). How transit Jupiter in Leo plays out for YOU personally depends on what transit Jupiter in Leo is doing to your natal chart (so don’t take any of what follows as how you should expect your personal experience with this transit to transpire). As always, if you need any help looking at your chart, you can get a reading from me here 🙂. If you want to look at this on your own, you will want to pay attention to the house(s) that Jupiter will be transiting and the aspects that transit Jupiter will make to other planets in your chart. Another thing you can do is think back to what kinds of themes came up for you the last few times that transit Jupiter was in Leo. While the situations might be very different in the present day, a similar flavor of themes from the past might re-emerge.
    **Also, to add – the transiting South Node will move into Leo on July 27, 2026 where it will be until March 26, 2026. Because the South Node will be in Leo (and, often, you want to skew the South Node in a more challenging direction), this makes me think that the challenging aspects of transit Jupiter in Leo might be likely to make an appearance. For this reason, I would be careful to take too much of the “love and light” shit people are sharing about transit before it even takes place. That doesn’t mean that it will be solely difficult, but I don’t think it will be this marvelous thing across the board.

    đŸ’„That “feel good” feeling (?) – With Jupiter in Leo, it makes me think that there will be a *sliver* of some kind of “feel good” in the air. I realize that so much of the world is a fucking dumpster fire at the moment (and has been for a while), and this transit won’t do away with ALL of that by any means. But! This transit does make me think that there will be periods of time (collectively and individually, for some people more than others) where we may be able to see this sliver of “feel good” come through.
    –I want to make mention of the idea of experiencing that “feel good” feeling with so much nastiness in the world. There are a lot of people that might feel BAD (or guilty) if they were to “feel good” (even if fleetingly) while so much of the world is a shit show. Just because you feel good (should you feel good under this transit), it doesn’t mean that you turn your back (or a blind eye) on the rest of world’s suffering. With the world the way that it is, we HAVE to take our feel good wins/moments where we can/when we can.

    đŸ’„Too much of a good thing? Watch indulgences! –  To add on to the above, there can certainly be TOO MUCH (ahem….Jupiter, and also Leo energy đŸ€Ł) of a good thing with transit Jupiter in Leo. Take stock to make sure that you aren’t going overboard with things that feel good (and by “too much,” this would be something that you are taking to excess and it’s to your detriment). Another thing to watch for is being overly generous because both Jupiter and Leo can be incredibly generous by nature (which is a lovely quality). Make sure that whatever you are generous with is something that you can actually BE generous with.

    đŸ’„Excessive Arrogance – A healthy amount of ego & confidence is a wonderful thing (and Leo energy functions best this way). Jupiter (which can be really fucking extra) could take this to excess and run with it. Interestingly enough, it was the last time that Jupiter was in Leo when the asshole-in-chief announced his candidacy for his first run for president (June 2015)….and that motherfucker seems to embody an excessive amount of arrogance. For some people that have confidence that skews towards the lower end of the spectrum, transit Jupiter in Leo might be the boost necessary to FEEL more confident (which can be fantastic in so many cases). For those that already HAVE a healthy amount of confidence, that confidence may need to be kept in check under this transit.

    đŸ’„Understanding one’s identity, ego, and individuation – This is a fantastic way to work with this transit’s energy! Jupiter wants to understand things (along with assimilating the information it has been provided), and Leo energy is all about individuation & identity. Another way to work with this transit’s energy is by individuating your own understanding of things in general (it would get more specific than just “things” in most cases, but it would depend on your chart as to where to this plays out). Belief in one’s identity AND beliefs (of all kinds) becoming more individuated over the course of this transit also feel “hot” to me.
    **Important here with the South Node entering Leo in 2026 – understanding one’s identity & individuation is a big deal, but ALSO understanding where you as an individual fit into the collective is the other piece (since the North Node will be in Aquarius which is collective-focused…and is how we are moving forward). Before you can “contribute” to the collective, personal identity needs to be fleshed out first (or alongside).

    đŸ’„ Expansive drama & theatrics – Lol this seems possible under transit Jupiter in Leo. On an individual level, watch how dramatically you respond to things that happen to you (asking yourself “is this really the end of the world?” and things like that when having an “extra” response to whatever; the good, the bad, and everything in-between). On the world’s stage, I think it’s very possible that we see people (and collectives) having dramatic and theatrical responses, taking dramatic & theatrical actions, and everything feeling like some kind of “show.” That doesn’t mean that “dramatic & theatrical” responses won’t ever be warranted; there are situations that probably do call for a dramatic or theatrical response (and in those cases this transit is there to take care of the rest).
    **While I don’t want to sit and make “predictions” about what exactly will take place under transit Jupiter in Leo, I do fully suspect world leaders, governments, and other people in “power” to put on quite the show during this period.

    If you are more of a watcher than a reader, here is a link to a video I did on transit Jupiter in Leo:

  • Transit Chiron in Taurus

    Transit Chiron in Taurus

    The world will see Transit Chiron in Taurus starting on June 19, 2026 (where it hasn’t been since April of 1984). Also interesting – Chiron was retrograde in Taurus at 3° when it was first discovered in 1977, so coming back to Taurus almost feels like a sort of “homecoming” for the asteroid/comet hybrid. What might this look like on a collective level, or even a personal one? Well
.I have some ideas. But! If you need help figuring out what this might have in store for you, get a reading from me and we’ll talk about it. 

    First
.some dates for Chiron in Taurus!
    Appetizer – June 19, 2026 through September 17, 2026
    Main Course – April 14, 2027 through July 19, 2033
    Desert – October 23, 2033 through May 5, 2034

    **The analogies to food and a restaurant menu is no mistake due to Taurus’ affinity towards things like “food” and “nourishment.” We’ll get to that in a little bit.**
    **Chiron will make its way back to 3° 8’ of Taurus (where it was when discovered) on June 9, 2027., October 7, 2027 (retrograde), and April 6, 2028.** 

    Some “keywords” for Taurus Energy:

    *Comfort
    *Nourishment
    *Stubborn
    *Fixed
    *Money
    *Reources & Resourcefulness
    *Needful Things (Needs v. Wants)
    *Security
    *Stability
    *Survival v. Thriving
    *Physical Body
    *Values & Self-Value
    *Slow & Steady
    *Calm
    *Material/Physical World
    *Grounded
    *Sensual
    *Safety
    *Immovable

    Oh! And real quick (if you’d rather watch something about transit Chiron in Taurus rather than read…video incoming below):

    Chiron represents both pain and wounding, along with “healing.” Wherever Chiron falls in a chart can show how one might be wounded (by sign) and where this wounding might take place (by house). At the same time though, it can also show how and where healing and restoration can take place. Personally, I don’t think Chiron is something that can ever be fully healed (that’s far too unrealistic for my realistic Capricorn Moon ass hahaha). More likely (and what I’ve seen play out in countless people’s lives), it’s a place in the chart that is wounded, then “healed,” then wash and repeat. This doesn’t mean it’s futile to “heal” the wounding; every time you work towards healing the pain/wounding, you restore parts of yourself (and that’s never all for naught). 
    **For instance, Chiron falls in my natal 7th House in Gemini. Relationships of all varieties will ALWAYS (probably) be a source of wounding for me
.even the most healing of relationships (or maybe that’s my own fucked up perception of such
per Gemini energy đŸ€Ł).

    In transit, Chiron can show where (by house) and how (by sign) pain & wounding may take place for a period of time (and obviously any planets, etc. that transit Chiron makes an aspect with in a chart flesh the picture out further). This pain and wounding serve the purpose of showing us what may not be working so well for us to begin with, so that we can heal whatever it is. 

    When I think of Chiron in Taurus my mind goes to a few different things:
    -Surviving v. Thriving 
    -Security v Insecurity (and Scarcity)
    -Comfort v Discomfort 
    -Good Treatment v Mistreatment of the Physical Body
    -Wounding and Pain, along with healing, of values

    Under the course of transit Chiron in Taurus, opportunities to see where we have been purely surviving seem that they could creep in. Taurus energy is THE survivalist, after all. However, while it is the survivalist, what it REALLY wants to do more than anything is to THRIVE (and when this energy thrives, it really shines). How do these opportunities come about? Probably in ways that shake personal foundations, making you realize that what you thought was secure and stable really was not, along with showing you where you were merely surviving. Is this wounding and/or painful? Absolutely could be. Should you find yourself in a situation (or situations) like this under this transit, focus your attention on THRIVING regarding what comes next. 
    **Transit Chiron is Taurus is also coming on the heels of Uranus’ exit from Taurus and into Gemini. Uranus in Taurus shook up foundations for everyone, everywhere. Taurus strives for comfort and Uranus is like “fuck that shit.” It could be that Chiron’s time in Taurus is going to show us (on a collective and individual level) where we are just surviving from the fallout of Chiron in Taurus, while also showing us what we can do to heal what remains.  

    Taurus energy deals with nourishment and food (along with agriculture). As I’m writing this (in June 2026 a few weeks before Chiron enters Taurus), we are seeing food insecurity rise. Food prices have gone up a whole fuck-ton since the covid era and it’s getting more difficult for people to feed themselves and their families. Not only that, though – we’re seeing issues with the production of some foods and in other cases the writing is on the wall for these issues to come about (looking at you, screwworm, which could really fuck with the cattle industry and other forms of livestock). There does seem to be more of a push towards people growing and producing their own food in the past few years (hello Pluto in Aquarius!), and I think under transit Chiron in Taurus we will see an increase in such (either out of “want” or “need”).
    –The food thing also makes me really curious with the increase in people taking GLP-1’s (no judgment from me – people need to do what makes them happy and feel good). But! These drugs restrict appetite (and temper other things that have become “habit”)
.and IF there were to be major issues with food production, these types of medications could be useful under such conditions. 
    –Another thing to add on to the discussion of GLP-1’s and Chiron in Taurus themes: We are starting to see the body positivity movement step to the side just a lil’ with “skinny” coming back with a vengeance. Now, I’m ALWAYS for people doing what they want to do with their bodies and for people to have their bodies whatever shape and size they want them to be (whatever that might be). Since Taurus energy DOES have an affinity for the physical body, valuing and nourishing the body (regardless of size and shape) seems like the most healing way to go with this transit
whatever this looks like personally. Not being comfortable in our physical bodies, seeing ways that we’ve wounded them, and/or seeing what we need to do to heal them ALL seem possible with transit Chiron in Taurus. 

    The history slut in me has to bring up the fact that the last two times Chiron was in Taurus there was A LOT of financial and resource-based insecurity:
    *From 1926 through 1934 (rough dates) the world saw the Stock Market crash in 1929 and the Great Depression ravaged the United States (and a lot of the world).
    *From 1976 through 1984 (rough dates) we saw the oil crisis in 1979 which caused different recessions across the world.

    Does this mean that we’re heading into another depression or recession? Maybe, if history echoes itself (and it so often DOES echo itself). Rather than predicting such (because I’m not looking to attract all that our way), I might encourage people to have their resources as right and tight as possible, and in a way that keeps their ass as covered on the backend. For some people, just the act of making sure their ass is covered on the backend is a healing experience (especially if the person happens to be the sort who wouldn’t normally function this way). This brings me to idea of Taurus’ affinity for “needful things” and the issue of “needs” v. “wants.” Could we see some major disruptions with things that are needed by people? It’s always possible, though this is a more extreme version of this transit (still needs to be mentioned, though). More likely, just general wounding and healing that involves the realization of what is a “need” v. what is actually a “want.” I put it that way because we can characterize things that are “wants” as “needs” 
even if they aren’t truly “needs.”

    While there are 3 earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn), Taurus energy has always felt very “Mother Earth” like to me. Thinking along those lines, and then tying in Chiron’s propensity towards wounding/pain AND healing, this does make me wonder about the state of the physical Earth under this transit. Not only in terms of things like natural hazards & disasters, but also things dealing with the “wounding” of earth’s natural resources (or the wounding that these natural resources cause). How can we heal this (or find healing through this)? Trying to be as kind to the Earth as possible seems like a good way to go (we all hurt the Earth in different ways so I’m not pointing fingers lol), but trying to be kind where you can be. There is also the idea of healing through the Earth (“grounding” exercises, taking a walk in nature to heal parts of yourself, etc.). Looking into healing the varied parts of yourself that have been wounded over the years by way of the natural world just feels “right” under this transit (alongside other healing modalities – no one take this as medical advice đŸ€Ł).

    The last one, painful/wounded values and healing of those values, I’m still fleshing out (so much so that I didn’t mention it very much/for very long in the YouTube video I did on this subject 😂). This could look like a realization of how values that you hold are actually wounding to you in some way. It could also look like healing through the formation of values that actually matter to you (and perhaps values that seem to honor and value the person you are as well). Make no mistake though, this one seems incredibly important and is probably one that will impact everyone in some form or fashion (collectively and individually). While it seems that it has the propensity to impact everyone, it will impact everyone in different ways (based on the aspects Chiron in Taurus makes to natal planets, the house that Chiron in Taurus is transiting, etc.).
