For the Lunar Eclipse for your sign (or natal house placement if you know it):
Aries
(12th House) As a result of a series of surprising events, the Lunar Eclipse in Pisces at the end of next week is asking you to be more aware of what is going on, not only about you, but within you as well. Step back. Get your bearings. Pace yourself. And pay attention. Something is coming to closure, which in turn can help you to finally create a plan. This could include laying to rest those people and things, as well as any regrets or burdens that you have been carrying, in order to restore your inner emotional health and well-being. You will also be given the tools to be able to do so. What are those things that are depleting or draining you? Shake off any lingering dismay. Things could move pretty quickly this week. Don’t be surprised if you have to change your plans suddenly and unexpectedly. All the more reason to create some time in your busy life in order to connect with yourself. Don’t answer emails right away. Give them a minute. Don’t jump in the pool without checking the temperature, or you could be in for a rude awakening. Fill the few spaces you have in your busy schedule with those things that inspire your heart and soul. Be open to the new, but do not commit just yet. Look for illumination first. Be surprised. And then tie up the remnants from a life well lived, in order to walk more freely into the life that is waiting for you. Expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Things that are simply needing to be laid to rest; Things that are needing to be tied up and finished; Revisiting the Past, Letting go of the Past, revisiting things that you had forgotten; things that were Hidden; What lies beneath; revisiting the world of the Subconscious and the Dream world, and connecting with your inner guides.
Taurus
(11th House) There could be a few twists and turns this week as we approach the Lunar Eclipse on the 28th. Don’t be surprised if you have to suddenly recalibrate your priorities at the last minute. This is changeable weather. Bring sunglasses along with an umbrella. Things could move quickly and unexpectedly. Lunar Eclipses occur when the Sun, Moon and the Earth are in such perfect alignment that the Earth casts a shadow over the face of the Moon, letting us know whether our not our physical lives are in alignment with our soul’s needs. It’s something of a reboot, trying to get you on track with your ever-evolving hopes and wishes for the future. One of the things that may become apparent are the ways in which you have outgrown a previous vision. As a result you could find yourself inspired in a new direction, or your life transformed as a result of what you are seeing, hearing and experiencing, so that you can never quite see things the same way again. You could even change the very direction of your life as you adjust to any new hopes and wishes. Making healthy connections with others will become that much more important, as you come to realize that so much more can be accomplished when you have a community to support you. The Lunar Eclipse can bring matters to the forefront concerning: Friendships, networks or groups you are connected to; Shared Ideals; Social Networks; Updating your Hopes and Aspirations for the future.
Gemini
(10th House) The conjunction between the Sun and Mercury next Thursday allows us to make a more objective assessment of our lives. This is when we see those ideas planted at the beginning of this Mercury cycle (on July 12th) coming to some sort of fruition. This is when we come to see whether those ideas are worth further development. This is often a time of illumination. And this will be all the more so as it is immediately followed by the Lunar Eclipse. Lunar Eclipses can be very revealing, and this one can be shockingly so as it makes a conflicting square to Uranus now traveling in your sign. In this case a conflict between the past and the future. Great beginnings and endings can occur when the eclipses conspire to spin their webs and weave our destinies. Life-changing events that occur either in your personal life, or in your outer life, even your career, can change your status, your reputation and the way that other people see you in the world. You are being seen when the the eclipses traverse the very top of your chart. At the very least people take notice. Whether that be as a leader, a parent, an artist, or a visionary, the key behind this series of eclipses that is now coming to closure is to believe in something that you perceive to be a little bit larger than yourself. Whether that be an ideal, a vision for the future, or a personal goal, allow that to be your guiding light going forward. The Lunar Eclipse can bring matter to the forefront concerning: Your personal or public status. One or more role that you are known for, your Reputation, Career, Goals, Destiny, Authorities, the place you work for, One of your Parents.
Cancer
(9th House) The Lunar Eclipse at the end of next week is attempting to open you up to the idea of having greater confidence in your inner guides, your intuition, and your vast imagination. There is that part of you that just knows and senses things without knowing why. One thingsthat can become apparent is that there is so much more to the mind than we actually really know. And if and when you can tap into even a bit of that, it can be downright illuminating, inspiring and fascinating. This Eclipse can even act as a portal, bringing some things to closure, in order to allow all this new information to flow in. And as you take in any and all of this inner and outer data, you are also being asked to trust not only what you are seeing and hearing, but perhaps more importantly what you are sensing. Doing this good work could even open a door to an ever higher awareness and understanding. The truth is, you’ve been working on perfecting your inner vision for years. Now you are being asked to put aside some of your skepticism and put what you have been learning into practice. The Lunar Eclipse can bring matters to the forefront concerning: Religion, Beliefs, Political stances, Travel, Journeys, Places of Higher Learning, Publishing, Sharing Information; Certifications; Courts of Law; Legal Decisions; Relatives, Places that are Far Away.
Leo
(8th House) As we approach the Lunar Eclipse at the end of next week, you are being pointed towards the natural cycles of life, including birth, death, rebirth, as well as the ebb and flow of the cycle of reciprocity: of giving and receiving. When a pond receives enough fresh water, it is better able to thrive and grow. But if there isn’t a continuous flow of fresh clean water coming in, the pond can become stagnant and dry up. The creatures that live with it will no longer thrive, and the pond will fail. Too much water and not enough drainage, then the pond will overflow its banks. And so it is with life when the cycle becomes imbalanced. If you are not receiving in kind, you will become drained, and the situation will become unsustainable. And if you are overcommitted with too much coming in, unable to keep up in kind, you will feel overwhelmed with unfulfilled promises and obligations. Either you find yourself drained and under-appreciated or over-compensating by taking on too much. When might you need to make some adjustments in order to restore the natural balance in your life? And to do so before you are forced to? Lunar Eclipses are revealing. And what can be revealed to you are your relationship to ownership, shared resources and shared agreements. If nothing else, pace yourself in order to avoid making promises that will be difficult to fulfill. What more needs to come to closure in order to step into the life that is waiting for you? You can expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Life, Death, Rebirth, Renewal, Receiving, Inheritances, Marketing, Shared Resources, Mortgages, Debts Loans, Taxes, Investments, Wills, Sexuality Surgery, Rehabilitation, Old Contracts, Habits and Old Attachments.
Virgo
(7th House) With the Lunar Eclipse that we have on August 28th, it could almost feel as if the Fates are moving all the pieces around on the Board of Life. Some shifts could be quite sudden and unexpected. Even surprising! It has been difficult to avoid the sorts of changes that can occur when the eclipses fall in Pisces and Virgo such as this one is (note: there is one more Eclipse in Virgo next February). But this one feels sudden and unpredictable, like you are needing to put everything else down in order to tend to the matters at hand. It could even feel shockingly so, as you mutter under your breath “What on Earth was I thinking?”. Like strategic and mystical matchmakers, the fates collude to bring certain individuals together while separating others. Even if it does feel sudden and unexpected like this one does. Great beginnings as well as Great endings occur in your major relationships when the eclipses are in Virgo and Pisces. However with the North Node having just left Pisces recently, you are still needing to put something aside in order to find the inner and outer healing and solace that you are most needing right now. You can expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Partners (intimate as well as professional), Competitors, Close friends, counselors, Advisors, Mentors, Clients, your Audience, the Outside World, and the reasons why people come to you.
Libra
(6th House) What might you want to change in your daily life and routines, and perhaps even in the work that you do, in order to make what you do that much more meaningful and rewarding to yourself and others? The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces at the end of next week is trying to open you up to living a healthier and more meaningful life and lifestyle. Whatever that may require of you. Note that you are not necessarily going to be able to expect others to come through in the ways that you might hope they would. So you are needing to take the initiative here. And as a result of some surprising or even shocking revelations, you could find yourself readjusting and reassessing your options. In order to accomplish this you will be needing to pay attention to those things that are sustaining and nourishing you, while releasing those things and people that are draining you or undermining your well-being. In order to live a life of health and well-being, in order to lead a more meaningful life and lifestyle, what old habits or misconceptions about yourself are you needing to let go of? And what new things will you want to focus on moving forward, that will nourish and support you body, mind and soul? Expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Your Work, Job, Co-workers, Work environment, Health, Health Providers, those things that Support your Health and Well-being, including Your personal Diet, Routines, Regimens
Scorpio
(5th House) The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on August 28th is shining a spotlight on what you love, and what you create. This could be about a romance, or perhaps something you make, a product, an idea, a hobby, a creative venture or even your children. For the past 18 months that the eclipses were falling in Pisces and Virgo that the topic of children or events concerning children might have come to the foreground. But any thing, person or concept that you create or fall in love with can take on a whole new life of its own when the eclipses fall in Pisces. This can be about creating your own style, finding your muse, falling in love, or discovering a new area of personal self-expression. Something that feels like a truer and more meaningful expression of who you are. Something that fills your heart with transcendent joy. The Lunar Eclipse next week is trying to illuminate these in such a way that can even change your life. Many a Scorpio has been working hard at reinventing themselves and their lives these past few years. And this is your opportunity to show the world, as well as yourself, what you are capable of creating. You can expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: our Children, or those who feel like them; What it means to Love and be Loved; the people and things that bring you Joy; When and How you feel most comfortable to simply be yourself; What it means for you to Do Your Own Thing; What you Love about yourself and what you have to offer others.
Sagittarius
(4th House) The upcoming Lunar Eclipse on August 28th is trying to open you up to a larger vision in your personal life. This might have something to do with your home, your family, or family members. It can also include things like concepts surrounding belonging, your community, your culture, your background. It would not be unusual to even find yourself thinking about moving, or wanting to put more emphasis on home and community in the years that the eclipses fall in Pisces and Virgo such as this one is. This Lunar Eclipse in the early degrees of Pisces is closing this current series of eclipses in which people, jobs and events that impact your reputation may pass through these portals. Pisces is a very idealistic sign, that carries the feeling that there are higher forces at play here. And although this particular eclipse is riven with uncertainty, and maybe a few surprises, the ultimate goal has been about finding that place, that community, that would ultimately support you, your needs, and your hopes for the future. There is also this understanding that we are all swimming in the same ocean of life, and that we are never quite alone when we support each other’s needs, and inspire each other to fulfill their heartfelt goals. You can expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Home, Family, One of your parents, Family members, Early Childhood Memories, The ancestors, the Homeland, your Support systems and community, the End of a Matter which ultimately gives way to New Beginnings.
Capricorn
(3rd House) The upcoming Lunar Eclipse at the end of next week is one of the last of a series of eclipses in the signs of Pisces and Virgo. When the eclipses fall in these signs, as they have been for the past 18 months, what you hear, what you learn, can transform your mind and perspective. This can come about as the result of something you read, from a class you attend, or something that you become aware of through some other medium. It can even occur in your everyday life, through conversations with neighbors or friends, or perhaps someone you casually bump into on the street, or while running errands on the way to work. Short trips to a near by town, another neighborhood, or even exploring the neighborhood you are in, can prove to be illuminating in this weather. There are elements of uncertainty and changeability with this Eclipse. So don’t be surprised if you have to change plans, or drop everything in order to make sudden adjustments. Things can change on a dime when the eclipses accompany unpredictable Uranus. But Uranus, although surprising, can also be illuminating in ways that you had not seen coming. And once you are able to see something in a new light, you can never see it any other way again. It is perhaps not the best time to make major decisions. Best to wait for the dust to settle first. And then take into consideration what might be the best decision for everyone concerned. You can expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: What you know, What you see, hear and come to understand, What you have learned; Communications, how you get around; your Car, Vehicles, your Commute, your Neighbors, Siblings, Classmates and your Neighborhood.
Aquarius
(2nd House) The Nodes of the Moon that determine the signs of the eclipses recently shifted, but we still have a few stragglers from the previous Pisces/Virgo Nodal axis. And the Lunar Eclipse on August 28th is one of those. This one in particular seems to stand on a threshold between the past and the future, as it aims to bring certain things to closure in order to welcome in the New. For Aquarius the Lunar Eclipse places emphasis on that which belongs to you vs. that which belongs to others. That which you value, vs. what others value. There is also something here about the idea of being open to receiving, and the ways that you do or do not feel that you are deserving. What needs to be released in order for you to feel as if you are worthy? Guilt? Fear? Feelings of inadequacy? That there won’t be enough? Then consider what was needing to be cultivated these past 18 months. Things like self-confidence and self-worth, and how well you value what you have to offer to others. As a result of this last series of Eclipses in Pisces and Virgo it may have even impacted your income. And perhaps change the way you relate to your possessions, spending and ownership in general. You can expect matters to come to the forefront with the Lunar Eclipse concerning: Balancing your needs with the needs of others; valuing what you have to offer to others; how well you feel valued by others,, what is or is not sustainable; and getting in touch with your most important Priorities.
Pisces
(1st House) It is always significant when the eclipses fall in your own sign And this is certainly true with the upcoming Lunar Eclipse on the 28th, which will be especially significant for those Pisces people born on or around the 21st and the 25th of February or who have 3-7º of Pisces Rising. But all Pisceans are bound to feel the shift of this eclipse falling in your sign, as these can be significant for turning points in your life. Lunar Eclipses can be times of completion. They can also be remarkably illuminating, and this one might be even more so, perhaps surprisingly so. And when accompanied by the North Node, although now in Aquarius, it can feel like you are moving in a whole new direction. It is not unusual for people to feel this sudden shift around eclipses when they are in your sign. In some way your material circumstances are needing to be brought in alignment with your soul’s needs and purpose. And if that requires you needing to shift gears, or to have to drop everything in order to tend to matters at hand, so be it. Some sort of evolutionary portal is being opened up, and beckoning you to walk through. If there are certain changes that you’ve been wanting to make, these eclipses might illuminate the means to do so. What will follow is an opportunity to create a well informed plan. Expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Your Self, your Body, your Appearance, your Health, your Environment, and Personal Self-development.
