NEW MOON/SOLAR ECLIPSE IN LEO 12 AUGUST 2026 A time to shine but not for all….. There will be a New Moon/Total Solar Eclipse at 20°02’ Leo (antiscion 09°58’ Taurus). The eclipse will be visible across Greenland, Iceland, northern Russia, the Atlantic Ocean, Spain, and a small corner of Portugal. Many other places in the Northern Hemisphere will experience a partial solar eclipse that day, including parts of the northern U.S. (from Alaska to North Carolina), most of Canada, much of Europe, and northwestern Africa. For many along the western part of the eclipse path (in [...]
MERCURY ENTERS LEO 09 AUGUST 2026 All I'm askin', is for a little respect when you get home (just a little bit)”* After a short stay in the homely sign of Cancer, Mercury now enters flamboyant Leo.
VENUS ENTERS LIBRA 06 AUGUST 2026 Needing to find a balance as we process the changes…. Venus enters one of its home signs on 6 August.
LUNAR NODES ENTER AQUARIUS-LEO AXIS ON 27 JULY 2026 The transiting nodes are reality checks on our soul path… On July 27, the true Lunar Nodes will enter the Aquarius-Leo axis after having been in the Pisces-Virgo polarity since January 2025. So, the modality will change from Mutable (Water-Earth) to Fixed (Air-Fire). With the North Node transiting the sign of Aquarius this could be a good moment to refine your powers of persuasion and to teach others why diversity makes the world a better place and that there is no need to judge or fear those who hold different views to our own (in [...]
SATURN’S 5-MONTH RETROGRADE PERIOD STARTS 26 JULY 2026 Isn’t it time to question the warfare and aggressiveness that’s all around us? Saturn will station retrograde at 14°45’ Aries (antiscion 15°15’ Virgo) on 26 July to station direct at 07°56’ Cancer on 10 December.
FULL MOON IN AQUARIUS 29 JULY 2026 One for all and all for one…or is it? This Full Moon occurs at 06°30’ Aquarius (antiscion 23°30’ Scorpio), a Fixed, Air sign ruled by Saturn (traditional ruler) and Uranus (modern ruler).
MERCURY STATIONS DIRECT IN CANCER Thoughts, plans and emotions should now be disentangled Mercury stations direct 23 July at 16°25’ Cancer (antiscion 13°35’ Gemini). Cancer, being a Water sign, is all about feelings and emotions and, being ruled by the Moon, how these fluctuate in time.
PLUTO’S DANCE IN AND OUT OF BOUNDS IN SOUTHERN DECLINATION Last year in August, Pluto went in and out of bounds for the first time after seventy-two years, the last time it was in and out of bounds in this manner was from February 1938 to May 1953 during the planet’s stay in Leo and it was an OOB in Northern declination.
OOB NEW MOON IN CANCER 14 JULY 2026 heading home...right? The New Moon will occur in the maternal sign of Cancer at 21°59’ (antiscion 08°01’ Gemini). Being in its own sign this is obviously a very dignified Moon, loving and caring, or perhaps not since the Moon is also OOB. OOB Moons are known to have a very personal idea of what mothering might mean.
VENUS ENTERS VIRGO 9 JULY 2026 Miss Modesty Venus in Virgo intellectualises love and intimacy and is also pretty good at maths when it comes to managing finances so keeping a check on over-spending could be a welcome (and necessary for some of us) break after the Leo extravagance.
