A guide for mapping out your history with eclipses in the Pisces/Virgo axis
Eclipses in the flow of time are like pit stops along your journey that inevitably change the direction of your travels. It’s sorta like a quest where new and unexpected challenges are laid ahead that you may not be prepared for.
Mars entered Gemini back on July 20th. Since then, it has been steadily approaching Jupiter where they come together in a conjoined embrace on August 14th at 16° Gemini. The next day on August 15th (PT), Mars in Gemini squares Saturn Rx in Pisces at 17°, and Jupiter also squares Saturn Rx on August 19th.
On August 18th, Venus in Virgo squares Jupiter in Gemini at 17°. Then on the same day Jupiter squares Saturn Rx on August 19th, Venus opposes Saturn Rx in Pisces at 17°. Finally, to complete this mutable t-cross configuration, Venus in Virgo squares Mars in Gemini at 22° on August 22nd.
August is when the echoes of April's events materialize into a new phase of becoming. NGL (not gonna lie), the terrain ahead will demand our creativity, patience and ingenuity. I think the fearmongering on the internet about August's gnarly astrology has some merit, but there's a part of me that also thinks it's slightly inflamed because it reflects a collective discomfort around mutability, or being in between places. Keep reading my breakdown of the first week of August’s astroweather skies!
We’re reaching the last days of summer. August is all about the balance between sweet and indulgent rest and the pressing demands of life’s responsibilities. The full moon in Aquarius on August 11 can feel especially destabilizing and frustrating. This moment connects to whatever has been growing since the beginning of the year. On the other hand, Venus entering Leo on the same day as the full moon reminds us that not all bad things remain awful. Time flows, and things move on. Make space for pleasure.
The planet of action, Mars, enters the curious sign of Gemini on August 20, where it will stay for an extended period until March 25, 2023. The Sun enters Virgo on August 22 to usher in the liminal season of summer ending and autumn beginning. The new moon in Virgo on August 27 signals a new annual cycle of renewal in the Virgo areas of your charts. Read your horoscopes for some insights on what’s up ahead for you this month.
A new month is welcomed in by the planet of action Mars entering the slower pace of Taurus on July 4. The same day, the planet of communication Mercury enters emotionally receptive Cancer. It’s quite the cozy and stay-at-home vibes. The full moon in Capricorn takes place on July 13, the culmination point of whatever began at the beginning of January 2022. What has come to fruition since then?
Venus joins the homebound crew and enters Cancer on July 17. This inspires breakfast in bed, PJs all day and cooking for people instead of eating out. Mercury changes signs and enters Leo on July 19, which primes our summer-ready (for the northern hemisphere, at least) plans.
The sun officially kicks off the deepening of seasons (summer in the north, winter in the south) and goes into Leo on July 22. And finally, a new moon in Leo occurs on July 28, the same day Jupiter in Aries stations retrograde. Have fun and slow down if you can. Read your month-ahead horoscopes for some gentle guidance.

The Full Moon happens at 0˚ Cancer at 9:49am PT/ 12:40pm ET on Dec. 22, 2018 on Saturday, Saturn’s day. 2018 was the year of retrogrades. It was a year that required all of us to be more contemplative and reflective. It demanded us to review our lives, our passions, our relationships, our thoughts and our integrity. Whatever trail you’re leaving behind, know that you survived one of the most challenging year for all of us and the whole wide world. This emo Full Moon also opposes Saturn and Pluto. At the same time, also co-present with the North Node, newly in Cancer and has not been here since 18 years ago. It’s powerful and probably triggering, for better or for worse.
Read your horoscopes for Capricorn Season. It is best to read with your Ascendant/Rising sign in mind. But you can also read your Sun sign (especially if you are a day chart) and your Moon sign (especially if you are a night chart).
