Astrology observations: the moons in love

♉️♍️♑️  Earth Moons need consistency + security in love.

They love someone who shows up, keeps their word and makes life feel stable. Think Belle from Beauty & the Beast. The beast makes her feel secure!! Earth Moons need someone who gives them peace & keeps life interesting. The flipside is staying because its easy even though there is nothing for them there anymore.

♋️♏️♓️ Water Moons need emotional depth + safety in love.

Water Moons need a love that feels safe enough to surrender to. As Michael Jackson said in Heaven can Wait and Prince in Adore. Their toxic trait? Getting emotionally attached before the relationship has actually earned that level of investment. But be careful with them water can nourish and drown.

♊️♎️♒️  Air Moons need conversation + freedom in love.

They want the late-night calls, inside jokes, random 2am conversations and someone who just gets them. Think Jess from New Girl: make me laugh, keep me talking, let me be my weird little self. If you can keep their mind occupied, you’re already halfway in, but… being mentally stimulated ≠ being emotionally understood.

♈️♌️♐️ Fire Moons need passion, play + a little ✨drama✨ to feel loved.

They’re giving Selena Gomez writing Lose You to Love Me, Rihanna dancing on A$AP Rocky, but also think Megan Fox: the whole ‘I will drink your blood’ of it all. Fire Moons don’t want boring love. They want someone who makes them feel like they are constantly playing, winning, losing, emotions, thrill. Make me feel ALIVE. Their toxic trait is confusing intensity with emotional safety, but don’t forget their flip side is Jennifers Body and Rihanna saying: ''First of all, I don't need a man''.

After years of reading charts, this is how I read your love life

Everyone wants to feel loved and a part of something. Astrology can help you along, but it is not set in stone; life, free will, and God pressing the ‘random dancing’-button are all at play.

Since I enjoyed writing my how-to find purpose: barista analogy a lot. I’m going to write this one as a fairytale analogy, with ofc some examples. At the end of the day, I’m just a girrrrl. Here we go:

Think of your birth chart like a fairytale. 🧚🏽‍♀️

♡ Your 5H = the beginning of the story
The house of dating, crushes, flirting, play and romance.

5H in Gemini: The story begins with a message from a stranger.

Perhaps you meet through social media, a mutual friend, a class, a short trip. The first chapter is full of banter, messages at midnight and the feeling of wait… why is talking to this person so easy? Your meet-cute is probably less “love at first sight” and more “I accidentally talked to this person for four hours.”

5H in Virgo: The prince doesn't arrive on a white horse. He remembers your coffee order.

The attraction may begin through small acts of thoughtfulness. Someone helps you with something. Notices what you need. Keeps showing up. The love story is built in the details.

♡ Your Venus = what catches your eye
The character who makes you stop and think: ohhhh… you.

Venus in Aries: You want the one who rides straight through the gates, doesn’t wait for them to be opened. Someone makes their interest obvious. They flirt. They pursue with urgency.

Venus in Libra: You want the beautiful ballroom scene. The eye contact across the room. The perfectly timed slow jam, as you coincidentally stand next to him You like romance with elegance to it. Someone who knows how to court you.

♡ Your Mars = the chemistry
The part of the story where things start getting interesting.

Mars in Taurus: This is the slow-burn fairytale. The hand that lingers a little too long. Sitting closer than necessary. The tension that builds over several chapters slooowly.

Mars in Aquarius: You fall for the strange one in the kingdom. The person nobody else quite understands. They're different. Unexpected. Maybe a little eccentric. They say things you've never heard anyone say before and somehow that's exactly what gets your attention.

♡ Your Moon = what you need once the excitement wears off
What makes the castle feel like home.

Moon in Cancer: You want the castle to feel safe. Someone who notices when you're quiet. Makes you soup when you're sick. Remembers the story you told them three months ago.

Moon in Leo: You want to be loved like the heroine. You want someone who looks at you like you're their favourite person in the entire kingdom and isn't embarrassed to scream it at the top of their lungs.

♡ Your 7H + Descendant = the love story
The kind of relationship the story becomes once the flirting turns into something real.

7H in Libra: There is courtship. Mutual choosing. Partnership. The feeling of we are doing this together. You may be drawn to someone who knows how to meet you halfway and who genuinely wants the relationship itself, not just the excitement surrounding it.

7H in Cancer: You may be drawn to someone warm, protective, emotionally attentive and family-oriented. The relationship can become a little world of its own.

♡ Your 7H ruler = where the plot develops
The setting where the love story actually unfolds.

7H ruler in the 3H: Your prince may enter through the village rather than the castle. A neighbour. A classmate. A mutual friend. Someone you meet online. Someone you keep running into.

7H ruler in the 10H: Your prince might show up while you're busy building your kingdom. You may meet through your profession, public life, ambitions or a major career chapter.

♡ Juno = the marriage contract 💍
The terms written into the happily-ever-after.

Juno in Taurus: You want loyalty, stability, physical affection and a life that feels solid. Your marriage contract basically says: Don't promise me forever if you don't intend to build it.

Juno in Aquarius: “I love you. And you are still you.” Your happily-ever-after needs room for individuality.

♡ Saturn = the lesson
The part of the fairytale where the heroine has to learn something before she gets the crown.

Saturn in the 5H: The lesson may be learning that love cannot be completely controlled.

You may have to learn how to date, flirt, take emotional risks and let yourself be seen without knowing how the story ends.

Saturn in the 7H: You may have to learn boundaries, commitment, discernment and what it actually means to build something with another person.

Honorable mentions: Aspects to Neptune, Pluto & Uranus = the plot twists

Because no fairytale is complete without at least a little chaos or delusion.

♡ Indicators you're entering a relationship chapter

Jupiter: 5H/7H, Venus, Moon or Descendant: more romantic opportunities.

Saturn: 7H or 7H ruler: commitment, defining relationships, serious partnership.

Venus: 5H/7H or Venus/Mars: attraction and dating activity.

Progressed Venus: changes sign/house or aspects Venus, Mars, Moon or Descendant: a new romantic chapter.

Eclipses: 1H/7H axis: major shifts in your relationships.

Uranus/Neptune/Pluto: hitting the 5H/7H, Venus, Moon or Descendant: significant plot twists.

♡ The biggest clue: multiple indicators activating your 5H + 7H at the same time. 👀 ♡

Ranking the rising signs from least to most affected by today’s Virgo New Moon (Venus, Mercury & Uranus transits👀

We've got the Virgo New Moon at 18°, Mercury moving into Libra, Venus moving into Scorpio AND Uranus stationing retrograde in Gemini.

Here's who gets the biggest planetary reckoning:

  1. Taurus rising ♉️
    Your 5th house gets the New Moon, so there’s a little reset around dating, creativity, pleasure and actually enjoying your life. Mercury moves into your 6th, Venus into your 7th and Uranus retrogrades in your 2nd. There’s stuff happening, especially around relationships and money, but it’s more of a scattered “hmm, I should probably deal with that” than one giant cosmic disruption.

  2. Leo rising ♌️
    The New Moon lands in your 2nd house, so money, self-worth and what you actually value are getting a little audit. Mercury moves into your 3rd, Venus into your 4th and Uranus retrograde hits your 11th. Translation: your priorities, home life and social circle are all getting little nudges. Not necessarily dramatic. Just enough to make you go “wait… do I even want this anymore?”

  3. Libra rising ♎️
    The New Moon is in your 12th, so this is more behind-the-scenes than obvious. You might need to clear some mental/emotional clutter before you know what you actually want next. BUT Mercury is entering your 1st house, so while you're doing all this internal processing, your voice is getting louder and clearer, while Venus moves into your 2nd and Uranus hits your 9th. You're figuring out what you value, what you believe and how you want to move forward.

  4. Cancer rising ♋️
    The New Moon hits your 3rd house, bringing attention to communication, learning and the constant stream of information in your head. Mercury moves into your 4th, Venus into your 5th and Uranus retrograde hits your 12th. So your thoughts, home life, creativity and subconscious are all getting involved. Your brain may be doing parkour rn.

  5. Aquarius rising ♒️
    Your 8th house, so we're going deeper: intimacy, trust, shared money, emotional attachments and the things you don't necessarily discuss Mercury moves into your 9th, Venus into your 10th and Uranus rx hits your 5th. Basically, deeper personal questions are happening while your career, worldview and creativity are also shifting.

  6. Capricorn rising ♑️
    The New Moon lands in your 9th house, so your beliefs, education, travel and general “where the hell am I going?” questions get a reset. Mercury moves into your 10th, Venus into your 11th and Uranus retrograde hits your 6th. Career and future plans are getting more prominent, while your routines may need some serious editing too.

  7. Aries rising ♈️
    6th House ,daily life is the main character. Work, routines, health habits, schedules… basically the boring stuff that secretly determines whether your life feels good. Mercury enters your 7th, Venus your 8th and Uranus rx your 3rd. Relationships and deeper conversations could make you rethink some of those everyday patterns too.

  8. Scorpio rising ♏️
    The New Moon lands in your 11th house, so we're talking friends, communities and the future you're building. Who actually belongs in that future? Who are you growing away from? Mercury moving into your 12th house adds a more private, reflective layer, Uranus rx in your 8th adds another layer around trust, intimacy and emotional attachments. Venus enters your 1st house. So while you're reassessing your people and your plans, you're also becoming more aware of what you want.

  9. Sagittarius rising ♐️
    10th: This is a big career/purpose reset. What are you actually trying to build, and does your current path make sense in practice? Mercury moves into your 11th, Venus into your 12th and Uranus retrograde hits your 7th. Career, friendships, relationships and your private emotional world are all part of the conversation. That's a LOT.

  10. Gemini rising ♊️
    The New Moon hits your 4th house, so home, family and your foundations are getting rearranged. But… Uranus is literally stationing retrograde in your 1st house. This is the part I would pay attention to. Uranus in your sign already brings a long-term identity shake-up, and a station can make the symbolism feel especially noticeable. Mercury moves into your 5th and Venus into your 6th too. You're not exactly having a quiet week.

  11. Pisces rising ♓️
    Your 7th house, so relationships and partnerships are front and centre. And considering you just had that Pisces lunar eclipse in your 1st house? The sequence is VERY “who am I now?” followed by “okay, so who do I want beside me?” Mercury moves into your 8th, Venus into your 9th and Uranus retrograde hits your 4th. Identity, relationships, intimacy, beliefs and your foundations are all talking to each other.

  12. Virgo rising ♍️🥇
    The New Moon is happening directly in your 1st house, so the reset is personal. Identity, direction, appearance, how you're presenting yourself, what you're doing with your life… all of it is up for review. Mercury moves into your 2nd, Venus into your 3rd and Uranus retrograde hits your 10th. So it's not ONLY an identity reset either. Money, communication and career are getting pulled into the story.

DISCLAIMER: The winner isn't necessarily the one having the most dramatic week. The strongest New Moon can be the one that makes you realise something needs to change and actually gets the ball rolling, despite your ascendant.

Cap risings, this is what the new moon means for you

This new moon falls in our 9th house if your using whole sign, but can be in the 8th or the 10th, if you use placidus and are a late degree cap rising.

10th house

This is a career reset. Virgo wants precision here: what's working professionally, what's inefficient, what needs restructuring, what you're actually trying to achieve. It's not "quit your job tomorrow." It's closer to: build a career that works in practice, not just one that reads well on paper.

9th house

Travel, education, publishing, spirituality, worldview. This can be a reset in perspective. A belief, philosophy, or long-term direction you've been following might stop making sense here, and the point is to actually examine it rather than keep it because it used to fit.

8th house

A deeper clean-up around intimacy, shared finances, debt, trust. You might find yourself looking at where you're over-invested, what you're sharing with others, what's owed in either direction, and where attachment has gotten complicated.

Mercury

Then Mercury moves into Libra, shifting the focus toward your 9th , 10th house or 11th.

9th house:

Your thinking turns toward the bigger picture. You may rethink your beliefs, worldview, education, spirituality, travel plans or long-term direction.

10th house:

Your mind turns toward career and public life. You may rethink how you communicate professionally, what you want to be known for, or how you present your ideas publicly.

11th house:

You may reconsider which people and communities you actually want to be part of, or whether the future you're working toward still feels like yours.

Venus

And Venus moves into Scorpio, your 10th, 11th or 12th house, which brings your friendships, networks and long-term hopes into the mix too.

10th house:

You may care more deeply about what you're building professionally and whether your work actually means something to you. It can also make you more selective about what you're willing to attach your name to.

11th house:

Some connections can deepen considerably, while others may suddenly feel too superficial. It can also change what you actually want your future to look like.

12th house:

You might realise what you've been emotionally holding onto without consciously acknowledging it.

I'd actually connect them like this:

New moon asks: What can be refined? Where do I need recalibration?

Mercury asks: What do I think? What makes sense? Where am I going?

Venus asks: What do I actually want? What am I willing to invest myself in?

And the house tells you where those questions are playing out.

Find out what today's new moon means for you personally

Want to know what the new moon means for you? Look at your rising sign below or if you are using Placidus, at the house(s) Virgo lands in.

This New Moon lands at 18° Virgo. Mercury is moving into Libra, Venus is moving into Scorpio, and Uranus is stationing retrograde in Gemini, all around the same window. So instead of asking: what is happening aaahhh?, the more useful question is: where am I recalibrating right now?

Aries rising — 6th house

The goal isn't to squeeze more productivity out of yourself. It's to make daily life function better for the person you're becoming. Tame the fire a little.

This is the textbook Virgo New Moon placement. Your routines, your workload, your health habits, the mechanics of your day to day. You're looking at how your life actually runs and asking whether it's working.

That might mean changing your schedule, adjusting how you organise your time, or rebuilding a health routine that's stopped fitting.

Taurus rising — 5th house

This one hits dating, creativity, pleasure, and anything you do purely because you enjoy it. Expect a reset around what actually makes you happy, whether that's how you're approaching dating or what you're making time for creatively.

Virgo here has a way of exposing where pleasure quietly turned into another performance. Worth noticing if you've started tracking your hobbies like they're a job. Let loose a little.

Gemini rising — 4th house

Home, family, roots, whatever counts as your foundation. This New Moon is about getting that foundation in order, and not just the physical space. Your emotional baseline and the environment you need to feel settled both come into focus. Uranus stationing retrograde in your own sign at the same time makes this land harder than usual.

Cancer rising — 3rd house

The shift here is in how you think and talk, not in how much you know. Communication, learning, siblings, your immediate environment, the everyday mental noise you're swimming in. This is a good window for refining how you communicate and what information you're actually letting in, rather than just consuming more of it.

Leo rising — 2nd house

What are you building that can actually hold you up? Money, income, possessions, self-worth. Virgo wants specifics: where is your money actually going, what deserves your time, and do your spending habits match what you say matters to you.

Virgo rising — 1st house

The New Moon lands directly on your Ascendant, so this is the most personal version of the reset. Who are you now? What are you doing differently? What no longer fits? Virgo works in small adjustments that add up to changing the whole system over time.

Libra rising — 12th house

This is less about launching something new and more about clearing space. You might notice habits, thought patterns, or obligations that have been quietly draining you. There's something here about removing noise before you decide what comes next.

Mercury enters your 1st house the same day, which sets up an interesting contrast: your inner world is getting cleaned up while your outward voice gets clearer.

Scorpio rising — 11th house

Friends, networks, communities, the people you're building your future around. This is a big one for reassessing who actually belongs in that picture. Some friendships or communities might start feeling less aligned, and you may get more specific about who you actually want close to you. Venus entering your 1st house at the same time adds a personal layer. Your desires are shifting too.

Sagittarius rising — 10th house

This is a career reset. Virgo wants precision here: what's working professionally, what's inefficient, what needs restructuring, what you're actually trying to achieve. It's not "quit your job tomorrow." It's closer to: build a career that works in practice, not just one that reads well on paper.

Capricorn rising — 9th house

Travel, education, publishing, spirituality, worldview. This can be a reset in perspective. A belief, philosophy, or long-term direction you've been following might stop making sense here, and the point is to actually examine it rather than keep it because it used to fit.

Aquarius rising — 8th house

A deeper clean-up around intimacy, shared finances, debt, trust. You might find yourself looking at where you're over-invested, what you're sharing with others, what's owed in either direction, and where attachment has gotten complicated.

Venus moving into Scorpio turns the volume up here too, since Venus is entering your 10th house and bringing power, ambition, and relationships into the same conversation.

Pisces rising — 7th house

You've just had the Pisces lunar eclipse in your 1st house, and now a Virgo New Moon lands in your 7th. The sequence is basically: who am I now, followed by who do I want beside me.

This isn't only romantic. You're reassessing partnerships in general: what you need, what you're giving, what you're willing to compromise on, and what's stopped working. Venus entering Scorpio adds a pull toward depth over surface-level connection.

For all the rising signs: stop and notice, observe and then... take babysteps.

The planets are dialing in on our relationships Pisces

If your life has been giving season finale of a telenovela lately, Pisces… in the way that your love life is awfulllllll 😭

We’ve got a Virgo New Moon, Mercury moving from Virgo into Libra, Venus moving into Scorpio AND Uranus turning retrograde in Gemini all within a very short window. And for Pisces, a lot of this energy comes back to one question: Does the life I’m building actually reflect where I am now?

THE VIRGO NEW MOON

Virgo sits opposite Pisces, so this New Moon puts a spotlight on your one-to-one relationships. Partners. Friends. Clients. Collaborators. The people you make agreements with. You might start noticing the little things you previously overlooked. Who actually meets you halfway? Where are you overcompensating? Which relationships feel reciprocal and which ones have quietly become another item on your to-do list?

This isn't a burn-it-all-down New Moon. It’s more like a “okay wait, let me actually look at what’s going on here” kind of New Moon.

MERCURY: VIRGO → LIBRA

Mercury starts in Virgo, so you’re looking at the details. What exactly happened? What did they mean? Did I misunderstand? Am I being fair? And then Mercury moves into Libra and suddenly you're looking at it from another angle. Okay, but is this actually fair?

You may find yourself reconsidering conversations, agreements or relationship dynamics from another perspective. And Pisces, understanding why someone behaves the way they do doesn't automatically mean you have to accept it. You can have empathy and boundaries.

VENUS ENTERS SCORPIO

Venus enters Scorpio. Scorpio doesn't really do surface-level. You may become much more aware of what you actually want from relationships, intimacy, friendships and life in general.

Something that looked fine on paper might suddenly feel… empty. Something you thought you wanted might not hit the same anymore. And something you've been trying to rationalise could suddenly become very obvious in your gut. “Actually… no. This isn't for me.” Or “Oh. THIS is what I've been looking for.”

URANUS RETROGRADE IN GEMINI

On top of all of that, Uranus goes retrograde in Gemini. For Pisces, Gemini brings attention to home, family, roots, your private life and your sense of security. With Uranus retrograde, some of the disruption turns inward.

You might start questioning what “home” even means to you. What actually makes you feel secure? What kind of environment supports the person you're becoming? You could even suddenly realise that an old idea of stability doesn't actually feel stable anymore.

And that's where all these transits start connecting. Your relationships are showing you what needs to change. Your conversations are helping you understand what's fair. Your desires are getting deeper and more honest. And your idea of security is being rewritten.

The Virgo New Moon then comes in like: Okay. Now that you know… what are you going to do about it?

Your compass is recalibrating. And maybe you're just crashing out because all of a sudden things that seemed nice now give you the ICKKKKK.

Maybe you're not suddenly too picky. Maybe you're just finally seeing what you actually want. And honestly… good for you (and me??).

This weeks astrology: Your internal compass is recalibrating and your seeing through facades.

New Moon + Mercury & Venus changing + Uranus rx. All within 24 hours??

Is your life also giving the season finale of a telenovela this week… maybe it has to do with the planets (if not blame them anyway hahaha) This is the rundown about how I would describe all the things happening.

The moon and the sun are both in nitpicky, i-have-a-list-for that Virgo, after we just had a lunar eclipse in her sister sign of Pisces. Everyone gets a bit more detail-oriented and a bit more critical, including of themselves, until the Moon moves on. This isn't a burn-it-all-down New Moon. It's a ‘have I chopped this into small enough pieces for my to-do list?’ kind of New Moon.

Mercury is going from am I covering all the points I want to communicate (Virgo) to is what I am saying fair? Can I give it a little more space to breathe and see it from a different angle? (Libra) 

From here is where it gets interesting…

Libra is a natural flirt and Venus is shifting to ‘I wanna know what love is. I want you to show me’-Scorpio. So the communication tries to balance but the way of showing affection runs deep. This can also show in you analyzing how you feel (Virgo) weighing the pros and cons to a situation (Libra) and deciding with your whole gut that this is not something you want anymore (Scorpio).

On top of that Uranus in Gemini goes retrograde. This continues on the Scorpio energy imo, turning the disruption inward. If Gemini is about how we think, process information and make sense of things, Uranus here can shake up the mental framework we've been using.

Retrograde Uranus tends to be abrupt, but in Gemini the disruption can show up through your thinking first: a change in perspective, a new piece of information, or suddenly seeing an old plan differently and going ahhh sooo this is what you are on?! Interesting…

If you look at it from a planet’s perspective, it’s:

You get a stretch where your mind runs differently (Mercury), your wants update (Venus), your internal structure loosens (Uranus), and you're standing at a genuine reset point (New Moon). 

You might catch yourself thinking, "Wait, I don't actually want this anymore." Or  "I thought I wanted that, but this fits me a lot better." 

Your internal compass is recalibrating and you're seeing through facades.

TLDR

Virgo Mercury: What exactly am I thinking?

→ Libra Mercury: How does this land? What's fair?

→ Scorpio Venus: But what do I actually want deep down?

→ Uranus Gemini: Wait, has my entire perspective changed?

→ Virgo New Moon: Okay, what do I do with that now? Let me make a list.

As always I hope this gives you some food for thought and helps you navigate your chart through these transits.

27 August: Eclipse themes by rising sign (Pisces ↔ Virgo axis) P.3

Scorpio Rising · 5H Pisces ↔ 11H Virgo

What feels meaningful in love, creativity, pleasure, and self-expression has shifted for you these past two years. You may have romanticized a relationship, a creative project, or a version of yourself that no longer feels real. You've also probably noticed certain friendships or communities shaping your choices more than you realized. Virgo in the 11th asks whether your plans still make sense for who you're becoming.

Release the version of the dream that exists mainly because you wanted to be someone who had that dream. You don't have to keep creating, dating, or pursuing something just because it once stood for the life you wanted.

Sagittarius Rising · 4H Pisces ↔ 10H Virgo

Home, family, belonging, and your emotional foundations have gone through major shifts over the last two years. The tension sits between the life you're expected to build and a private life that actually feels safe and yours.

You may have outgrown a family role, realized a place no longer feels like home, or started questioning the stability you were raised to believe in. Virgo in the 10th keeps asking you to perform, achieve, organize, and build something tangible out in the world.

Release the foundation built around an old version of yourself. Years of making something work doesn't automatically make it home.

Capricorn Rising · 3H Pisces ↔ 9H Virgo

How you think, communicate, learn, and interpret what's happening around you has changed these past two years. You've probably noticed mental loops, assumptions, or stories you repeat without questioning them. Something you once took as fact turned out to be more complicated than that. Virgo in the 9th responds by chasing the perfect explanation: more research, more information, another course, another opinion, another framework.

Release the need to intellectualize everything. You don't need a perfect explanation for every experience. Sometimes changing your mind is the conclusion.

Aquarius Rising · 2H Pisces ↔ 8H Virgo

Money, security, self-worth, and what you actually need to feel stable have all been tested over the last two years. Your financial security may have depended on other people at points: shared resources, debt, a partner, circumstances outside your control. Virgo in the 8th pushes you to get specific about those entanglements: who owes what, who contributes what, where the boundaries sit, what you're actually responsible for.

Release scarcity patterns and arrangements that keep you tied to something you've already outgrown. Security isn't always about having more. Sometimes it's needing less from a situation that has too much control over you.

Pisces Rising · 1H Pisces ↔ 7H Virgo

This is the most personal version of the eclipse for you.

Your sense of identity has shifted over the last two years: who you are, what you want, how you present yourself, what kind of life actually feels like yours. Relationships have shown you exactly where you over-adapt, people-please, rescue, or try to become more palatable to someone else. Virgo in the 7th asks you to get much more discerning about who gets your energy.

Release an identity built around other people's expectations. You don't have to become easier to understand, easier to love, or more useful to justify taking up space.

I hope this helps you navigate the eclipse energy a little! Major Pisces and Virgo placements, buckle up. Honourable mentions: Leo, Aquarius, Gemini, Sagittarius, the other fixed and mutable signs sitting on or near this Leo-Aquarius/Virgo-Pisces eclipse axis.

27 August: Eclipse themes by rising sign (Pisces ↔ Virgo axis) p.2

Cancer Rising · 9H Pisces ↔ 3H Virgo

Your beliefs about life, spirituality, education, travel, morality, or where your future was headed have been tested over the last two years.

Something you once treated as certain doesn't explain what you're actually living anymore. Virgo in the 3rd keeps pulling you back to specifics: conversations, information, paperwork, evidence you can point to. You've probably tried to bend the facts to fit a worldview you've already outgrown.

Release the need for your old story to stay true. You don't need one more piece of information before you're allowed to change your mind.

Leo Rising · 8H Pisces ↔ 2H Virgo

Shared money, debt, intimacy, trust, and emotional dependency have gotten complicated for you these past two years. You may have realized that being close to someone doesn't mean carrying everything they carry. Virgo in the 2nd turns the focus back to your own resources: your money, your values, your skills, your ability to stand without help.

Release an entanglement (jada pinket voice) that's become part of your identity. Financial, emotional, or just the belief that absorbing someone else's problems proves you care.

Virgo Rising · 7H Pisces ↔ 1H Virgo

Relationships have been the biggest mirror. The tension sits between accepting someone as they actually are and adjusting yourself endlessly to make it work. Release the version of yourself you built to hold a relationship together. Love doesn't require you to disappear into someone else's needs.

You've idealized someone's potential, over-adapted to keep the peace, or become the fixer again and again. Meanwhile, Virgo in the 1st has forced you to examine yourself: your boundaries, your standards, your identity, the ways you try to improve yourself just to feel worthy.

Libra Rising · 6H Pisces ↔ 12H Virgo

The line between helping people and exhausting yourself for them has blurred over the last two years. Unblur them, please.

Work, routines, health, and daily obligations have felt hard to keep under control. You've swung between organizing everything and checking out completely when it got to be too much. Virgo in the 12th also exposes the quieter ways you keep yourself under constant self-monitoring.

Release the need to be endlessly useful. Not every problem needs your intervention, and not every responsibility is yours to carry.

I hope this helps you navigate the eclipse energy a little! Major Pisces and Virgo placements, buckle up. Honourable mentions: Leo, Aquarius, Gemini, Sagittarius, the other fixed and mutable signs sitting on or near this Leo-Aquarius/Virgo-Pisces eclipse axis.

Part one & two are up, and now it's time for part 3 :)

Scorpio Rising · 5H Pisces ↔ 11H Virgo

What feels meaningful in love, creativity, pleasure, and self-expression has shifted for you these past two years. You may have romanticized a relationship, a creative project, or a version of yourself that no longer feels real. You've also probably noticed certain friendships or communities shaping your choices more than you realized. Virgo in the 11th asks whether your plans still make sense for who you're becoming.

Release the version of the dream that exists mainly because you wanted to be someone who had that dream. You don't have to keep creating, dating, or pursuing something just because it once stood for the life you wanted.

Sagittarius Rising · 4H Pisces ↔ 10H Virgo

Home, family, belonging, and your emotional foundations have gone through major shifts over the last two years. The tension sits between the life you're expected to build and a private life that actually feels safe and yours.

What does the eclipse tomorrow mean for you? Rising sign + house breakdown

Last post covered the timeline of events. This time I'm zooming in on the Pisces side: what tomorrow's Pisces eclipse means for you based on your house and rising sign, and which signs get hit hardest.

Two fish swimming in opposite directions, tied together by a cord. That's the sign's core tension: pulled between two states at once, connected but never fully unified. You'll see this show up as idealism versus reality, self versus other, spiritual escape versus grounded responsibility.

Fun fact: the brightest star in the Pisces constellation, Alpha Piscium, still carries its Arabic name, Alrescha, "the cord" or "the well-rope." It marks the knot where the two fish are joined.

Pisces is the twelfth and final sign of the zodiac, a mutable water sign. Twelve is the number of completion, cycles, wholeness. As the last sign, Pisces takes this further: it doesn't just feel things; it dissolves into them, shifts shape around them, absorbs whatever's happening in the room. Pisces transmutes darkness, so heavy Pisces energy in this stretch may have felt like falling down an abyss. For those most impacted, the question this eclipse asks is: did the pain register deeply enough to choose differently? Are you ready to release the form that no longer holds?

Aries Rising · 12H Pisces ↔ 6H Virgo
The last two years may have exposed how much of your life ran on constant functioning: work, routines, responsibilities, staying useful, staying organised, staying productive even while running on empty.

The Pisces side of the axis has been asking a different question: what happens when you stop managing everything? You may have hit stretches of burnout, withdrawal, disrupted routines, or a growing sense that some of your coping mechanisms kept you functional without making you feel well. This eclipse asks you to release the belief that trying harder fixes everything. Let the unsustainable routine, obligation, role, or coping mechanism end. Exhaustion doesn't need to become another problem to solve. Rest is fundamental.

Taurus Rising · 11H Pisces ↔ 5H Virgo
The last two years may have shifted your relationship with friendships, communities, creativity, romance, and the future you imagined for yourself. You may have idealised certain people or groups, poured energy into a future that never materialised, or kept investing in something because you loved the idea of what it could become.

Virgo in the 5th has been asking: does this actually make you happy? The tension: the dream of belonging against the reality of what genuinely brings you joy. Release the version of the future you've been emotionally attached to. The friendship that exists mostly in your head. The relationship that never became what you imagined. The creative project you've outgrown. The future you thought you needed to become who you wanted to be. You don't have to keep loving something just because you once dreamed about it. Let go, and you have both hands free.

Gemini Rising · 10H Pisces ↔ 4H Virgo
The last two years may have made your career, reputation, and definition of success hard to separate from your private life: home, family, belonging, and emotional security.

You may have built a career around an identity that no longer fits. Or found that getting what you thought you wanted didn't actually make you feel settled. You may have felt caught between what you're expected to build publicly and what you actually need privately.

Pisces in the 10th can dissolve an old career direction, public identity, or definition of success. Virgo in the 4th wants the private world functional, manageable, secure. The eclipse asks you to release the life structure you've been maintaining because it looks right on paper: a career expectation, a family role, a living situation, an old definition of success. If the life you're building doesn't feel like somewhere you can actually live, pick up your pencil and change the blueprint.

Upcoming lunar eclipse in Pisces 27th of August: all the feels

Eclipse 101: the Pisces-Virgo edition

Part 2 and 3 are now up!

Every eclipse season since September 2024 has landed somewhere on the Virgo–Pisces axis. One organises through detail, service, and daily function. The other dissolves boundaries and works through feeling, imagination, and surrender. 

These eclipses asked: where are you over-managing something that needs to be felt, and where are you drifting through something that needs structure?

The eclipses happened from late degree to early degree (ofc nodal nodes). In degree-based astrology, early degrees are often read as a sign's energy in a more raw or emerging form, while late degrees can feel more developed, concentrated, or transitional.

A sequence that's working backward toward 0° reads like death and rebirth to me. By August 2026, the Pisces themes this whole cycle has been circling are showing up in a more primal, less processed form than they did in 2024. And in 2027 the same is done for Virgo.

The eclipses were mainly lunar (no fun). Lunar eclipses are associated with revelations and endings. This in Pisces, which is associated with the 12th house of endings, closure, solitude and karma. 

For me these eclipses felt like I was a hermit in some kind of rollercoaster in the dark (Pisces) with only a small light illuminating (a little planned Virgo energy) the way.

If you take in the nature of the signs and the degrees, the timeline was something like this:

17 September 2024: Lunar eclipse at 25° Pisces. This eclipse read to me as surrender vs. control: what were you trying to control that needed to be released, and where were you drifting through something that actually needed your attention?

14 March 2025: Lunar eclipse at 23° Virgo. What needed to be organised, fixed or made more functional, or were you trying to fix something that actually needs acceptance.

7 September 2025: Lunar eclipse at 15° Pisces. What needed to be released and what was more about actually surrendering your need to control the outcome. Virgo's shadow here could've been perfectionism and trying to manage every detail.

21 September 2025: Solar eclipse at 29° Virgo. A solar eclipse brings a new beginning or reset, but at 29° there's also a sense of something reaching completion. Virgo asked what needed to change in your routines, work, health, systems or daily life, while Pisces asked what you needed to stop trying to perfect.

3 March 2026: Lunar eclipse at 12° Virgo. Virgo asked what needed practical attention; Pisces asked whether you were becoming too rigid in trying to create certainty.

28 August 2026: Lunar eclipse at 4° Pisces. This is where we arrive now. We're very close to the beginning of Pisces. Pisces asks: what happens when boundaries dissolve? Virgo answers: how do we create structure around something we can't completely control?

20 February 2027: Lunar eclipse at 2° Virgo. The cycle finishes almost at the beginning of Virgo. After everything that has been released, dissolved or questioned on the Pisces side, Virgo asks what you're actually going to build from here. What routines, boundaries, systems and practical choices support the person you've become?

If you look at these questions and themes through the houses you have Pisces and Virgo in, you have interesting journal prompts that might help you ground a little bit in this very weird energy leading up to the eclipse.

To me it's like I am in a permanent dream state with an undertone of dread. Writing this post took me like 5 hours because halfway I realized I was making nooo sense.

Astronomically speaking, eclipses actually belong to families.

This upcoming Pisces eclipse is part of Saros 138, an astronomical series that began in 1521 and won't finish until around 2982. The previous eclipse in this Saros family occurred on 16 August 2008: a lunar eclipse at 24° Aquarius, opposite the Sun at 24° Leo.

So even though the 2008 eclipse and the upcoming one happen in completely different signs, they're part of the same astronomical family. That gives us an interesting astrological layer to play with. Some astrologers therefore interpret Saros families as carrying themes across their entire cycle, meaning the 2026 eclipse could echo something that began around 2008 or 1990 lol.

Aquarius/Leo can be read through the tension between individual identity and expression vs. the wider collective. Pisces/Virgo brings us back to surrender and dissolution vs. discernment and structure.

For me, that's especially interesting because Aquarius is in my 1st and 2nd houses, while Leo is in my 7th and 8th. Pisces is in my 2nd and 3rd, while Virgo is in my 8th and 9th.

So both eclipse axes touch a similar territory for me: self and what I value vs. partners and what's shared or hidden.

Both have one foot in identity/resources and another in relational depth. For me personally, that feels pretty spot on… Hindsight 2020 am I right.

I actually went way deeper into Saros 138, but this post was already way too long, per usual. If you want my deep dive into the Saros family, let me know.

For now, I hope this gives you a few things to reflect on and helps you navigate your own chart a little more consciously as we move towards the eclipse. If you want me to look at how this plays out in your own chart, DM me or check out my pinned post for the readings I offer.

A sequence that's working backward toward 0° reads like death and rebirth to me. By August 2026, the Pisces themes this whole cycle has been circling are showing up in a more primal, less processed form than they did in 2024. And in 2027 the same is done for Virgo.

The eclipses were mainly lunar (no fun). Lunar eclipses are associated with revelations and endings. This in Pisces, which is associated with the 12th house of endings, closure, solitude and karma. 

For me these eclipses felt like I was a hermit in some kind of rollercoaster in the dark (Pisces) with only a small light illuminating (a little planned Virgo energy) the way.

If you take in the nature of the signs and the degrees, the timeline was something like this:

17 September 2024: Lunar eclipse at 25° Pisces. This eclipse read to me as surrender vs. control: what were you trying to control that needed to be released, and where were you drifting through something that actually needed your attention?

14 March 2025: Lunar eclipse at 23° Virgo. What needed to be organised, fixed or made more functional, or were you trying to fix something that actually needs acceptance.

7 September 2025: Lunar eclipse at 15° Pisces. What needed to be released and what was more about actually surrendering your need to control the outcome. Virgo's shadow here could've been perfectionism and trying to manage every detail.

21 September 2025: Solar eclipse at 29° Virgo. A solar eclipse brings a new beginning or reset, but at 29° there's also a sense of something reaching completion. Virgo asked what needed to change in your routines, work, health, systems or daily life, while Pisces asked what you needed to stop trying to perfect.

3 March 2026: Lunar eclipse at 12° Virgo. Virgo asked what needed practical attention; Pisces asked whether you were becoming too rigid in trying to create certainty.

28 August 2026: Lunar eclipse at 4° Pisces. This is where we arrive now. We're very close to the beginning of Pisces. Pisces asks: what happens when boundaries dissolve? Virgo answers: how do we create structure around something we can't completely control?

20 February 2027: Lunar eclipse at 2° Virgo. The cycle finishes almost at the beginning of Virgo. After everything that has been released, dissolved or questioned on the Pisces side, Virgo asks what you're actually going to build from here. What routines, boundaries, systems and practical choices support the person you've become?

If you look at these questions and themes through the houses you have Pisces and Virgo in, you have interesting journal prompts that might help you ground a little bit in this very weird energy leading up to the eclipse.

To me it's like I am in a permanent dream state with an undertone of dread. Writing this post took me like 5 hours because halfway I realized I was making nooo sense.

Astronomically speaking, eclipses actually belong to families.

This upcoming Pisces eclipse is part of Saros 138, an astronomical series that began in 1521 and won't finish until around 2982. The previous eclipse in this Saros family occurred on 16 August 2008: a lunar eclipse at 24° Aquarius, opposite the Sun at 24° Leo.

So even though the 2008 eclipse and the upcoming one happen in completely different signs, they're part of the same astronomical family. That gives us an interesting astrological layer to play with. Some astrologers therefore interpret Saros families as carrying themes across their entire cycle, meaning the 2026 eclipse could echo something that began around 2008 or 1990 lol.

Aquarius/Leo can be read through the tension between individual identity and expression vs. the wider collective. Pisces/Virgo brings us back to surrender and dissolution vs. discernment and structure.

For me, that's especially interesting because Aquarius is in my 1st and 2nd houses, while Leo is in my 7th and 8th. Pisces is in my 2nd and 3rd, while Virgo is in my 8th and 9th.

So both eclipse axes touch a similar territory for me: self and what I value vs. partners and what's shared or hidden.

Both have one foot in identity/resources and another in relational depth. For me personally, that feels pretty spot on… Hindsight 2020 am I right.

I actually went way deeper into Saros 138, but this post was already way too long, per usual. If you want my deep dive into the Saros family, let me know.

For now, I hope this gives you a few things to reflect on and helps you navigate your own chart a little more consciously as we move towards the eclipse. If you want me to look at how this plays out in your own chart, DM me or check out my pinned post for the readings I offer.

Upcoming lunar eclipse in Pisces 27th of August: all the feels

Eclipse 101: the Pisces-Virgo edition

Every eclipse season since September 2024 has landed somewhere on the Virgo–Pisces axis. One organises through detail, service, and daily function. The other dissolves boundaries and works through feeling, imagination, and surrender.

The 8th H: where your world shifts because of what happens when you merge with someone else's.

Most people anchor their identity to their Sun sign. That's where the classic astrology-girlie line comes from: "I'm a Leo, so I'm dramatic and I need to be passionate about everything I do."

Level 2 is the North Node. Your soul's true purpose, apparently. Why look any further?

Babbbyyyyyyy. There's so much more.

To me, the 8th house is the part of making coffee you can't do alone. Imagine you're a barista. Your 8th house is what happens when someone else brings something into your recipe. Their resources, experience, energy, trust, or vulnerability becomes part of what you're making.

The real question underneath "shared money" is: what happens to me when I have to merge with something that isn't entirely mine?

Your 8th house sign is the flavour of that merging.

8th house in Taurus: learning to share resources without sacrificing your stability or sense of security. 8th house in Scorpio: intimacy goes all the way down. Letting someone in can completely transform you. 8th house in Gemini: conversations, information and shared knowledge become part of the transformation.

Then check the ruler of your 8th house. That planet shows how these experiences tend to play out, and its house shows where they enter your life. An 8th house in Leo is ruled by the Sun, so if your Sun sits in the 2nd, questions about shared resources keep circling back to your own values, self-worth, and what belongs to you.

Aspects to your 8th house ruler show what complicates or supports all this. Maybe you want intimacy but struggle to surrender control. Maybe sharing resources comes easily. Maybe other people's involvement forces you to face something you'd happily avoid on your own.

Mine: 8th house in Leo, empty, but Leo still colours what happens when I merge with other people. I want to collaborate without disappearing into someone else's recipe. Sharing still has to feel creative, personal, and mine.

The ruler of my 8th house is my Sun in Pisces in the 2nd, which brings it all back to my own values. Can I let someone else influence the recipe without losing what makes my coffee mine? My Sun is also conjunct Mars and Saturn in Pisces in the 2nd, so there's a lot riding on that question. What I create is personal to me. I'm emotionally invested in it. I want it to mean something, but I'm also still learning where my responsibility ends and someone else's begins.

The 8th house is where you find out you don't create everything alone. Someone else's resources become part of your story. Their vulnerability changes yours. Sometimes you have to trust someone enough to let them touch the recipe. And sometimes the transformation is realising that sharing something doesn't mean losing ownership of yourself.

That's what the 8th house means to me, beyond taxes, inheritance, and other people's money. It's where your world shifts because of what happens when you merge with someone else's.

To explore your own: check the sign, its ruling planet, the ruler's house, and the aspects to that ruler and your 8th-house placements.

Eclipse 101: the Pisces-Virgo edition

Astronomically speaking, did you know eclipses actually belong to families?

This Pisces-Virgo eclipse is part of Saros 138, a series running since 1521 that won't finish until around 2982. 

The last eclipse in this Saros family happened on 16 August 2008. a Lunar eclipse at 24° Aquarius, opposite the Sun at 24° Leo. Individual identity and expression vs the wider collective. So that one and the upcoming one are, despite being in different signs, part of the same astronomical family.

A Saros family is a set of eclipses spaced roughly 18 years and 11 days apart, sharing the same sun-moon-earth geometry, though they land in different signs as the cycle moves. The full family runs about 1,460 years and breaks into phases: 22 penumbral eclipses (1521–1900), 7 partial (1918–2026), 26 total (2044–2495), 6 partial (2513–2603), 21 penumbral (2621–2982).

Now it's happening at 4° Pisces, opposite Sun in Virgo 4°. A lot of astrologers therefore say that this eclipse closes out a theme that started in August 2008. For me Aquarius is in my 1st (stellium) and 2nd house and Leo is in my 7th (moon) and 8th. Pisces (stellium) in my 2nd, and 3rd and Virgo is in my 8th and 9th. I have to say for me personally this is spot on: self and what-you-value against partner and what's-shared-or-hidden. Both axes have one foot in identity/resources and one foot in relational depth.

This made me want to self-reflect more. So I dove deeper into the eclipses on the current axis.

Every eclipse season since September 2024 has landed somewhere on the Virgo–Pisces axis:

One organises through detail, service, and daily function. The other dissolves boundaries and works through feeling, imagination, and surrender. These eclipses asked: where are you over-managing something that needs to be felt, and where are you drifting through something that needs structure?

The eclipses happened from late degree to early degree.

Astrologically, early degrees of a sign carry that sign's themes in their rawest, least developed form. Late degrees carry them at their most refined and about to spill into the next sign.

 A sequence that's working backward toward 0° reads like death and rebirth to me. By August 2026, the Pisces themes this whole cycle has been circling are showing up in a more primal, less processed form than they did in 2024. And in 2027 the same is done for Virgo.

The eclipses were mainly lunar (no fun). Lunar eclipses are associated with revelations and endings. This in Pisces, which is associated with the 12th house of endings, closure, solitude and karma. For me these eclipses felt like I was a hermit in some kind of rollercoaster in the dark (Pisces) with only a small light illuminating (a little planned Virgo energy) the way.

If you take in the nature of the signs and the degrees, the timeline was something like this:

17 September 2024: Lunar eclipse at 25° Pisces. This eclipse read to me as surrender vs. control: what were you trying to control that needed to be released, and where were you drifting through something that actually needed your attention?

14 March 2025: Lunar eclipse at 23° Virgo. What needed to be organised, fixed or made more functional, or were you trying to fix something that actually needs acceptance.

7 September 2025: Lunar eclipse at 15° Pisces. What needed to be released and what was more about actually surrendering your need to control the outcome. Virgo's shadow here could've been perfectionism and trying to manage every detail.

21 September 2025: Solar eclipse at 29° Virgo. A solar eclipse brings a new beginning or reset, but at 29° there's also a sense of something reaching completion. Virgo asked what needed to change in your routines, work, health, systems or daily life, while Pisces asked what you needed to stop trying to perfect.

3 March 2026: Lunar eclipse at 12° Virgo. Virgo asked what needed practical attention; Pisces asked whether you were becoming too rigid in trying to create certainty.

28 August 2026: Lunar eclipse at 4° Pisces. This is where we arrive now. We're very close to the beginning of Pisces. Pisces asks: what happens when boundaries dissolve? Virgo answers: how do we create structure around something we can't completely control?

20 February 2027: Lunar eclipse at 2° Virgo. The cycle finishes almost at the beginning of Virgo. After everything that has been released, dissolved or questioned on the Pisces side, Virgo asks what you're actually going to build from here. What routines, boundaries, systems and practical choices support the person you've become?

If you look at these questions and themes through the houses you have Pisces and Virgo at, you have interesting journal prompts. That can maybe help you ground a little bit in this very weird energy leading up to the eclipse. To me it's always like I am in a permanent dream state. Writing this post took me like 5 hours, because halfway through I didn't understand what I was trying to say myself lol.

As always I hope this post helps you navigate your own chart a little! If you want me to look at how this plays out in your chart, DM me for my services.

(Here's a little Saros 138 rabbit hole I went down to. Just a little nerd tidbit for those interested. >!I got curious about the years marking the phase shifts: 1521, 1900, 1918 and 2026.!<

>!Around October 1521, Spanish colonizers built Mexico City directly on top of the ruined Aztec temples. Martin Luther was standing trial, and Italy was in the middle of one of its wars with France.!<

>!Around June 1900, the Boxer Rebellion was underway in China against the eight-nation alliance. The Second Boer War was happening in South Africa. The US took over civil governance in the Philippines.!<

>!June 1918 caught the last days of WWI. The Treaty of Batum was signed with the Ottoman Empire. The Spanish flu was spreading.!<

>!Now, the Pisces lunar eclipse, August 2026: an Ebola outbreak in Congo, the US scaling back military support to South Korea, rising tension and sanctions between the US and Iran, a Canada-US trade war, and Iceland weighing whether to look into EU membership over all the international tension.!<

>!Obviously, this doesn't prove that the Saros cycle causes geopolitical events. But I found it interesting that the dates fall around themes of borders, alliances, governance, outbreaks and shifts in power. So I thought I'd share my deep dive lol. Then I thought about how this tied into the astrology of the Aqua-Leo eclipse in 2008 and the Pisces-Virgo eclipse coming up, because they are in the same family. Which, yes, I lost allies over, had shifts in power around, and created new boundaries from. I would even go as far as saying I changed all legislation in my land of self. Astrologically I couldn't find much literature on this. V interesting…)!<
