Turn Back, Tune In, The New Moon In Virgo

 New Moon in Virgo 11:26 PM EDT New Moon 18°25’ Virgo

The Night Sky Empress fades into her dark mother phase, even as she nears the LUMINOUS sun, she becomes almost invisible.

“Dark and I yet lovely” ~Song of Solomon

She’ll catch up with the Light of this World on Thursday, September 10, 2026 at 11:26 PM EDT when both are at 18°25’ of Virgo.
In virgin territory, we are reminded of Our Holy Mother Mary, whose birthday we celebrate on September 8^th.  She is the IMMACULATE CONCEPTION.
And that is a good beginning to understand the Virgo new moon.

She is chaste, meaning ‘untouched/unbroken’ and IMMACULATE.
This usually inspires or motivates people to begin to pare down, start preparing for the Fall Harvest, Fall Equinox coming on September 22^nd when the sun has just crossed over and is now entering the 7^th house, and Cardinal Sign of Libra.

Virgo motivates us to organize, to get rid of excess, to clean up our recycling station, to start paying attention to our spending habits, cut out excess waste and to reuse what we can, clean and put things away, as the temperature begins to drop, and those in the northern hemisphere start preparing for the FALL.
Leaves are turning into the golden hues of AUtumn, giving back the radiance of the sun they have adored all summer and who they know is life sustaining.

Virgo is, as I have named her, the most powerful ‘RE-SOURCERER’ there is, being ruled by the earth, an earth sign and also co-ruled by Mercury.

Virgos are natural born writers and often love to read.
They make great accountants (unless badly aspected) and are the first to notice if your clothes are not ironed, or there is a spot on your dress.
They also find themselves in health care, Florence Nightengale was probably a Virgo.  We may hear about new ways of healing, hopefully combining frequency, sound, and colour in partnership with the earth, the soil, plants, natural healing.  Virgo is often shown as a maiden holding a sheaf of wheat or grain, representing the constellation’s deep connection to harvest, fertility, and the earth’s bounty.
So too, will she remind us we need to take care of our health, implement a regimen into our daily activities and make better use of our time.  This is especially important for those who are ‘caregivers’ to be sure to implement a daily routine to take care of themselves first, to nurture their own body, mind, and spirit.
Perhaps begin or go return to a good spiritual practice, meditation, deep breathing, massage, prayer, but something. 

So, you might already be clearing, smudging, organizing for the colder months ahead.
A Harvest for the World is coming…October.

On many people’s hearts, concern, a weight, an uncertainty, a loss, sadness.  Check in on each other, make some tea. Even in silence.

 

She will ask us to gather the wheat, bundle and begin to prepare for the oncoming fall equinox on September 22nd at 8:05PM when we slip into the balancing act of Libra.

Mercury, her ruler is leading the way at 00°46’ having just made his ingress into Libra, he steps up on that day just after noon, activating an AIR GRAND TRINE, and opposing Neptune who is retrograde at 03°24’ Aries, the AIR will be ELECTRIFIED.  Feel that SNAP, CRACKLE, AND POP.
You know who else is in this Grand Air Trine?  Let’s start with the planet UR-ANUS (original sky god/heaven) who is going to start to slow down, to begin his annual retrograde period, on 9/10/2026.  He becomes much more powerful during this slowdown as he turns retrograde.  (As all planets do).

Pluto is retrograde and the two are moving closer to another EXACT AIR trine again on (11/29/2026) at 3°31' AQ/Gem.

Pull back the veil, disrupt ORDER, and then support new thought.

Sitting in between the two in sextile (they will all dance together for almost a decade back and forth) is Neptune the DISSOLVER at 03°24' Aries, also RX.
We just told you she is also OPPOSING Mercury in Libra.
Oh, things are going to be happening, as the universe is now seeding this EARTH AWARENESS out of the eclipses, this is all dealing with the dark, the eclipsed, the unseen, the occulted.  As Lady Luna slips into her waxing phase and her light increases that she reflects back to the earth.
Knowing all this, set your intentions, light your candle (preferably white for purity, blue for communication.

Expect more REVELATIONS, both on the world stage and within your own rising divinity as these three siblings EXPOSE yet more layers/veils occluding your own shiny light.

As if this was some grand design (hint, it is) it happens on the day of the new moon at 11:26PM at 18°25' Virgo.

Thus, the week of September 10th we have many aspects being triggered.

Chiron slips back into Aries on the same day.

Conjoining Neptune, we are about to have some of the WILDEST dreams of our lives, with all this transformational and REVOLUTIONARY air acting like a bellows on the sails of ships of DREAMS OF THE NEW WORLD, rising out of the mists and dust storms, seducing us.

This can also be a trigger event, to usher in AI, dressed up all pretty, or even as a precursor to more energy upheavals and collapse.

People are reaching their limits and finally being forced to draw boundaries.

Chiron revisiting Aries asks us what do YOU want, 'I AM.....' what?

Who the heck are you anyway?

"If you bring forth what is within you, what is in you will save you. If you don't, what is in you will kill you."

"Woe to those who are pregnant" ~ same meaning.
Chiron in TAUrus, the wounded healer opposing Mercury in Scorpio.
She is taking a look back at her wounds regarding the physical body, what was hidden, our values, adding another layer to Virgo’s ability to budget, this may remind you or bring back up our spending habits, places we may have splurged, bought new patio furniture perhaps?
Now the bills start to come due.
And Chiron, the ‘KEY TO THE CHART’ is going to open up the doors with her MASTER SKELETON KEY.

Look to those early degrees in the fixed signs: TAUrus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius in your own chart and that magic ‘4’ that keeps being triggered to see where the universe is pulling back the curtain/veil for you to look back and look closer.  You will find you have not gotten to the root of the issue, this gives us the opportunity to turn back, and perhaps change course, change what we share, what even may remain hidden to ourselves.  Perhaps we just didn’t want to look, didn’t want to know.  Chiron will PIERCE THE VEIL (PARCIFAL) no matter how you try and avoid this hidden truth, this hidden trauma and opposing Pluto…oh the dragon will BURN IT ALL DOWN, to REVEAL to you a hidden pearl, gift, something you were too afraid to believe and allow the emergence.  This is revolutionary for your soul.  The small deaths of anything you used to cover, is about to give birth to WHAT YOU HAVEN’T GIVEN BIRTH TO.  It doesn’t have to be a grand thing, sometimes the simplest lessons give us a gift that is INVALUABLE.  Is it time for you to let others feel good doing something FOR YOU? 
Here is a link to a previous dive into Chiron: Waking The Deep: Chiron, The Wound, The Light & The Way, The Key to Your 'Blueprint'.

But what about Saturn, EL, The Lord of the Rings you ask?
Oh, that is where it really starts to get VISIBLY interesting. 

Saturn Has a Giant 10-Sided Storm at Its South Pole? What NASA...

I want to thank Erika D (A FORCE to be reckoned with) for being the first one to bring this to my attention.

We already knew about the hexagram on the north pole.

Another friend, Richard Gerber, made this brilliant comment: 

“The 144 signal! A decagon has 10 sides and 10 angles, whereas a pentagon has 5 sides and 5 angles. Interior Angles: In a regular shape, each interior angle of a decagon is 144°, while each interior angle of a pentagon is 108°.Sum of Interior Angles: The total sum of interior angles in a decagon is 1440°. ~Richard Gerber

Where have we heard this ‘144’ number before?

12 x 12 =144 and of course, the 144,000!!!

The 144,000 in the Bible are a group of individuals sealed by God, described in Revelation as either a literal number of Jewish believers or a symbolic representation of completeness among God’s people.

Biblical References

The 144,000 first appear in Revelation 7:4, which states, “Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel”
Saturn is EL don’t forget, the God of the Old Testament.

They are mentioned again in Revelation 14:1, where they are described as having “the name of Jesus and the Father on their foreheads” and standing with the Lamb on Mount Zion. ~ christianitypath.com

Each of the twelve tribes of Israel is represented by 12,000 individuals, emphasizing both tribal identity and divine selection.

    9/17/2026   9:52 PM EDT Chiron Regress into Aries

For there will be signs and wonders alright!!!
What will it take to get people’s attention?  How long lord, how long?
Mars is at 19°Cancer and has been squaring Saturn now retrograde at 13° Aries.
He is going to FORCE the issue, and things will break until we pay attention and make the changes, put our energy and action into shifting this timeframe, if we JUST WAKE UP!  THAT MEANS SEEING WHAT IS HAPPENING, not spiritually bypassing and avoiding.  Otherwise, it will get worse, much, much, worse on planet earth and the rebuild will take a lot longer.
Re-direct while you can.
Where do these planets and aspects fall in your own chart?
What house is being activated that you CAME HERE WITH FOR JUST THIS TIME?

Saturn, Neptune, Mars, and Mercury are activating the Cardinal Cross: Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn.  The initiators.
Virgo will help you discern, and line things up to make the right plan of ACTION.
We can clearly see that plans are being put into place all around us by those who DO CHOOSE TO ACT.  Ancient plans.  Ancient energy.
The rise of Ahriman that Rudolph Steiner predicted. 
Worshiping the material world, what the earth can give to us, rather than ENLIVENING our own inner world, our Soul light.
“ And desire said, “I did not see you descending, but now I see you ascending. Why do you lie since you belong to me?

The soul answered and said, “I saw you. You did not see me nor recognize me. I served you as a garment, and you did not know me.” ~From the Gospel of Mary Magdalene

Transcendence: I am. I have always been. I return to the Source within.

Venus also enters Scorpio on this very day too, at the time of the new moon she will be at 00°31’ of the dragon, after spinning through one of her rulership signs, Libra (another air sign).

Venus is going to retrograde next month, and Mercury follows her at the end of October, going back to review decisions, purchases and how we listened and took head, or did we give our value away?  Did we VALUE ourselves and the soul, that is waiting and watching, that sees us.

Venus will begin to station retrograde on October 3^rd at 08°29’ Scorpio.

Mercury will begin to station retrograde on October 25^th at 20°55’ Scorpio.
He will begin to station direct on the same day Venus does, November 14^th.
Venus will have travelled back into Libra, her domain and begin her direct movement at 22°51’ Libra.
Mercury will be in Scorpio at 05°03’.
Scorpio and Libra’s, this is when you can start singing “Turn Around Bright Eyes” “Every now and then I fall apart” …
Yes, A total eclipse of the heart.
https://youtu.be/LSYGIljR6sQ?si=q6DMIeZ09_fMcnFs

Every now and then, we can fall apart.  Oh, do I ever know this.
The earth is certainly telling us, warning us, to PAY ATTENTION TO HER!!

SHE MA’ATERS!

YOU MATTER

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO MATERIALIZE?

Virgo can help you, she is the QUEEN after all.

The Queen of DIAMONDS is at your SERVICE.

FINALLY, a bit more on the earth changes:

(As of September 10^th)In the latest burst of seismic activity, more than a dozen earthquakes of magnitude 4.0 or higher have rattled the Pacific Ring of Fire.

13 earthquakes rattled cities across 8 countries between Wednesday and Thursday, with some minor seismic activity happening in the very center of the Pacific Ring of Fire.

We’ve also seen an uptick in Volcanic activity, with the Anak Krakatau volcano which began erupting on Sept. 4, 2026, as seen here on Sept. 5 by the Landsat 8 satellite jointly operated between NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) (Image credit: NASA Earth Observatory/Michala Garrison)

A volcano on an Indonesian archipelago began erupting on Sept. 4, and satellites in orbit have been watching closely, because she continues to erupt and may have a larger eruption again.

We also have more hurricanes than normal right now.
Lowell's current 65 mph strength badly undersells how powerful the storm actually got. After earning its name on Aug. 27, Lowell explosively intensified on Sept. 2, rocketing to Category 5 strength with sustained winds reaching 160 mph and a minimum central pressure of 927 millibars while centered about 445 miles south of Hilo, according to a Central Pacific Hurricane Center advisory — the basin's first Category 5 since Hurricane Walaka in 2018.

Now forming, is hurricane Norbert, expected to hit Baja California and Mexico later next week.
All due to a stronger El Nino this year, which is expected to increase hurricane activity through the end of this year.

So, that Air Grand Trine is certainly supporting each other, strengthening the WINDS OF CHANGE, water and flooding in so many places.
Nepal is one terribly sad location of a recent disastrous flood.

The 2026 Tibet–Nepal flood was a catastrophic glacial‑collapse disaster that killed at least 390 people initially and left more than 1,500 missing across Nepal and Tibet, with later tallies exceeding 1,000 deaths and thousands still unaccounted for.

A major flash flood struck the Nepal–Tibet border on 26 August 2026 after part of a Himalayan glacier collapsed, sending a massive surge of water, ice, mud, and rock downstream. The disaster devastated communities on both sides of the border, destroyed infrastructure, and triggered extensive rescue operations.

In our own backyard, severe storms and historic flooding struck Indiana in August 2026, causing widespread destruction, at least seven deaths, and leaving hundreds of homes damaged. The White River crested at record levels, surpassing the 1913 flood, and multiple counties — including Marion, Porter, Wayne, and others — saw major infrastructure damage, power outages, and water rescues.
Texas has also suffered major flooding and power outages that lasted over a week in some places.
Structural loss: Hundreds of homes were damaged or destroyed, with some communities like Cambridge City losing up to a third of their housing stock

Infrastructure: Roads, bridges, and utilities were severely impacted; in Gary, a section of I‑70 was washed away. ~ The Guardian

Lastly, I want to remind you of this post, about the Milgram Experiment.
Here clearly, people could not LOOK BACK AND THEY KEPT GOING, EVEN WHEN IT MEANT DEATH...
One of the biggest issues, is the inability to admit we were wrong.  This is what psychiatrist, Former FBI agent Asha Rangappa has noted, regarding this experiment and the current political climate.
I see people from both sides of the division incapable of learning, of reviewing what they think they know, doing a bit more research and perhaps, CHANGING DIRECTION OR LOYALTY.

Over 50 years ago, Yale scientist, Stanley Milgram ran ‘shocking’ experiments on test subjects, to see how they would react.  While the ‘test subject’ was seated in one room, they believed someone was in another room being ‘shocked’ with electrical voltage of different magnitudes all the way to ‘could cause death’.  I am sharing a link for you to read further, but at the time over 60% went along with the testing, even when they believed the other person could DIE.  Want to know how far we have FALLEN now?

Current studies put that figure closer to 90%. 👀👁️🔮

This just in from my friend, Michael Hernandez:

🚨 U.N. ISSUES UNPRECEDENTED WARNING: The “Supersize” El Niño is Here. 🚨

The United Nations and the World Meteorological Organization have just released deeply alarming data: a 'Godzilla-level' El Niño is supersizing before our eyes.

Fueled by Pacific Ocean temperatures already measuring more than 2°C above average, scientists forecast a near 100% certainty that this historic system will persist through February 2027.

What does this mean for our planet? We are entering uncharted waters. Experts warn that the sheer intensity of this climate phenomenon could cause 2027 to "blow apart" all previous temperature records, potentially making it the hottest year in human history. 🌡️📈

The humanitarian and economic stakes are staggering, and the global impacts are already unfolding:

🌾 Acute Hunger Risk: The UN’s World Food Programme estimates up to 50 million people could be plunged into acute hunger due to crop failures and droughts.

🔥 Extreme Weather: Expect intense flooding and devastating wildfires striking vulnerable regions across South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia.

🚢 Economic Disruption: Vital global trade routes are already feeling the squeeze, including shrinking shipping capacity in the Panama Canal.

The race is officially on. As nations face this impending climate shock, we must urgently bolster emergency preparedness, build local resilience, and adapt to these rapidly changing conditions before the peak hits. 🌍

We cannot ignore the warnings.

The Nightsky Empress is Full of Emotion as she Dredges up the Past to be Released.

We're gonna cry 96 tears now...well, not everyone.

But PIsces full moons will bring up buried sorrow like no other full moon can.  

She will also wash away heartache, pain, sorrow as the tears fuel the SOUL, your own angels hear the clarion call of your personal vibration...and they come.

Yod

The Light of the world, our solar ambassador is standing across the waters above and exactly opposing the Night Sky Empress who is resplendent in her fullness, pregnant with her swim from the new moon solar eclipse that took place on August 12^th at 1:36PM EDT at 20°01’Leo.
Now, Luna finds herself engorged in the watery depths of Pisces just after midnight (18 minutes) on August 28^th when she is at 04°53’Pisces embracing the North Node, Rahu who has just entered Aquarius and is now at 29°50’, and the earth will cast a long shadow creating a scarlet glow that may drench the moon in blood.

Note that magical 4°, triggering the Stargate that opened on July 19th. 4 x 4 =16

In Pisces, she can be weepy as she brings up the depths of sadness with rivers of tears, memories and thoughts of loss, what was, what will never be again.

I'll be drinking my Volcanic Water, that has colloidal gold and silver, Au and Ag, sun and moon.
And I will be using my www.ArcoftheAncient.com blends, like Royalty...and Ascension...RE-Member...
We are all living in these thoughts, consciously or subconsciously and since the 12^th house of Pisces is where the subconscious can become viscerally palpable, delivering messages from the oceanic depths, that may all but sink some, at least temporarily.  It is also the womb, taking you back home, rocking you in the embryonic nurturing and compassion of Pisces.

PERSPECTIVE
Let it wash over you, try not to let it drown you.  For some, this could be overwhelming, so might want to check in on your sensitive friends, or addicted souls, this can definitely be a time to trigger deep emotions, and the wave, though temporary (remind yourselves this) can seem like a tsunami for some.

Pisces/Virgo axis brings up routines, work, career, passions, order, reorganizing, reusing, and how we spend our time,

Is your energy being used in the most beneficial and optimal way possible?

Pets and health are also issues that can stir up patterns and diet choices.
It can remind you of your own health choices and perhaps a visit to the doctor is on the calendar.
Pay attention to your fluids, make sure we are hydrating (not drinks, but water) and increase that hydration accordingly with higher temperatures and activities that require more fluids.
Gas and oil prices will become a major topic and we all know the dire situation with the Strait of Hormuz, that began in the spring eclipses and though we had hoped the fall eclipse would be an ending window, unfortunately at the time of this writing, there has been no mutually agreed upon resolutions forthcoming.

This magnifies the day-to-day movement of oil and gas, as well as the other gases methane and helium for instance, as well as the much-discussed fertilizer shortage, all of which are increasing prices around the globe.  Some countries are currently paying a higher price than others, since they get a higher percentage of oil, etc., through the Strait than other countries.  Japan for instance who were getting 80% of their gas and oil through the Strait.

While the solar ambassador is in stride with the south node, asking for closure on old habits, expressions, how we present ourselves, leadership methods and what no longer works in the current changing times.

Who is really in charge?  Who is responsible?  How are we individually responsible and is there a way to organize a different approach that might bring more desired results.

Along with these major implications and energy, we also have Uranus at 5°37’ Gemini forming a T Square to these lights.  Uranus will station retrograde on September 10^th at 05°Ge41'.  SHOCKING TRUTH AND INSIGHTS

                              REVEALATIONS
Thinking about it all, Uranus in Gemini is perfectly staged to contemplate God, and mans order or place in the world.  Especially as this is the last eclipse in Pisces in this series.  We leave the end of the Age of Pisces, and embark on a wholly new landscape, that continues to be reshaped, shifting in front of our very eyes at the dawn of this new Age of Aquarius.

  “For it is man's function to contemplate the works of God. And for

this purpose he was made that he might view the universe with wondering awe and come to know its maker.” Hermes Trismegistus

And contemplate God we will.

Pay special attention to just before you fall asleep and the moment you AWAKEN, try to sit with that and gather the messages from God (and those who have crossed over, loved ones, angels, saints).  The liminal world of the noos.

The old-world crumbles, and nothing we are entering or even experiencing now, is anything we have ever managed or lived through before, not in this body and not for thousands of years as we have outlined astrologically in many blogs previously. 

And yes, it can be frightening. 
Because we don’t know…it’s the not knowing that pulls on the thread, especially given the knowing we actually have.  Fear of the unknown.

Re-member, warned you we were going to war...not that I want this, I am just the messenger.

Things coming to a head now.

Devastating earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, (Vanuatu for one) and earth changes, storms that are more vicious than ever.

We have cities and towns in this country right now, that are underwater and have been without power for weeks in some cases.

So, Virgo is ever the prepared one, and this is a good time to put emergency provisions and kits together.  Where are your flashlights, candles, generator, back up power, solar recharging gadgets, food, dry goods, plans in place.

I am a gardener, and I grew up with gardening at our home and at my dad’s store by the time I was a teenager.
I loved it.
It is so magical to grow food and to pick it and eat it.  Foraging is a special kind of experience and connection.

Mercury is also hanging out with our sun at 5°Leo, adding to this T square.
So, there is all sorts of uncomfortable here.  It’s discomfort for growth, as unpalatable as that may sound, this is where we are.

PIsces and the 12th house/Neptune ruled, is all about SLEEPING.
DREAMS.  So, you might be more tired than is usual for you.
There is more… 

Saros Number 138 in Astrology

Saros 138 is an astronomical eclipse recurrence number assigned by NASA to a specific family of solar and lunar eclipses. In astrology, it is often paired with a named family (e.g., Saros 16 North) to give interpretive themes. 

(Note as to the two following slides: This is to point out that we entered into a 300 (three hundred) year cycle of upswing, out of the bottom of the Kali Yuga...300 years does not mean tomorrow is the golden age.)  Some people as always will lead the way, evolving and SEEING quicker and the bigger picture than others.
But we are still coming out of the 'fall of man'.
I pray for miracles, I pray for humanity to become HUMANE and use their abilities to hasten this evolution out of darkness.

Saturn is also retrograde at 13°Aries forming a nice trine to Jupiter who is at 14° Leo, giving us some fire in the belly, to help put some incendiary low spark of high-heeled boys.  Yes, that is from a song, just in case you get stuck in TRAFFIC. 

Astronomical Background of this Saros cycle.

Type: Saros 138 is a lunar eclipse series in some contexts, but in the solar eclipse family it is Saros 16 North www.augurine.com.

Cycle length: ~6,585.3 days (18 years 11 days 8 hours) Astro-Seek.com. 

Series duration: ~1,280 years, with 71–73 eclipses Scullywag Astrology.

Direction: Saros 16 North began at the North Pole and will continue into the future.

Inspiration, insight, and ideas emerging from beneath awareness www.augurine.com.

This means the eclipse family is read through the lens of:

Sudden flashes of understanding or creative insight.

Patterns or ideas that surface unexpectedly.

Like a volcano, coming up from the deep, rumbling and then bursting into CONSCIOUSNESS.

This is why it is so important to have some dream work and journalling experience. 

The need to record and test these ideas, then act on those that remain coherent after the initial spark.

It is not a fixed prediction but a prompt to explore how such themes appear in your chart and life contextually.

Now let’s add some more ‘seasoning’.

Neptune retrograde 3°45’ Aries is forming a semi-sextile to Luna who is sitting in between Neptune and Pluto who is also retrograde at 03°35’ Aquarius and they form a YOD or finger of God (fate) to the sun and Mercury.

NOUS NOOS…

Neptune already likes to blur the lines, but the sun and mercury are on this finger point, putting your dreams and visions into action while the world is under TRANSFORMATION and WE ARE TOO.

How to Use Saros 138 in Personal Astrology

Compare eclipse degrees to your natal chart (planets, angles, aspects). 

Look for themes of insight, creativity, or hidden patterns in your life.

Consider how these themes may align with current events or personal challenges.

Use the Saros cycle as a long-term pattern rather than a short-term prediction.

Tip: For more precise timing and visibility, use an eclipse calculator to match Saros 138 with your birth chart and current planetary positions ~ www.augurine.com.

In short, Saros 138 (Saros 16 North) is an eclipse family with a theme of emergent insight and inspiration, useful for astrologers to explore patterns in their charts and life events.

At maximum, 96% of the Moon will be in Earth’s darkest shadow, leaving only a thin silver sliver of direct sunlight www.telescopeadvisor.com+1. The Moon will appear deep orange-copper with a subtle glow, similar to a total lunar eclipse but just short of totality.

 

How to Watch

Safe to view with the naked eye — no eclipse glasses or filters needed.

Best viewing: Clear skies, away from bright city lights, with a clear view of the Moon.

Enhancement: Binoculars or a small telescope can reveal Earth’s shadow moving across the lunar surface Daily Jang+1.

Special Context

This eclipse is the deepest partial of its Saros 138 series and the last until 2028 before the next total eclipse in the same cycle Tech Times. It also closes the 2025–2026 almost-tetrad of lunar eclipses, with three totals and this near-total partial Tech Times.

Tip for Cleveland: Arrive at a dark spot outside, look toward the east or southeast, and you’ll see the Moon climb into the eclipse just before or during maximum.

“Who are YOU?”

Lordly Leo…NOBILITY.

After the darkness comes the LIGHT OF THE WORLD.

We're working through our SHADOWS, integrating the pairs of opposites, Noah's ARK, THE ARK OF THE COVENANT.

The Nightsky Empress is sailing towards our central star and will meet on August 12, 2026, at 1:36PM EDT.  The pair will be at 20°01’ Leo…the Lion.

Luna just downloaded the latest secrets from Pluto who is standing across the waters above retrograde at 03°54’ Aquarius and is now divulging all to the light of the world.
POWER STRUGGLES...WHO WILL BE LORD AND MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE?

Pluto in Aquarius is not going to let just one person emerge as VICTORIOUS, especially with Venus who has newly entered her domain and is at 5°Libra forming a lovely air trine to Pluto and adding Uranus who is 05°II (Gemini) we have one gorgeous Grand Air Trine.

What CHARASMATICA LEADER might emerge on the world stage now?

They won’t be alone, and I believe we will see the new ‘EMPIRE’ emerging from the BRICS countries, and Iran continuing to corral President Trump into a ‘Hall of Mirrors’ and tighten the noose.
Hubris

Ancient Astrologers, Babylonians often ascribe fatality of leaders around a total solar eclipse.  Luckily, the U.S. will only get a shard of this eclipse in the Northeast, but slightly over D.C. too, and we already know of the death of Lindsey Graham, and we still have no idea where to sing along with Mitch because who knows where he actually is. 

However, as you can see from the maps; Much of Europe, especially the UK, Spain, France, and the Nordic countries, along with Greenland and Iceland (totality), so expect to hear about them now, and in the next 6 months also.
We can expect power struggles, leaders stepping down in some cases, or dark secrets surfacing.  This can also be other countries’ hidden past to become quite possibly scandalous too, but the news might break there or be due to investigations that originated there.
This is also playing out in YOU personally.  Have you found your inner leader, your guiding star? What has been holding you back?
Where is 20°Leo in your own chart? 
Look to the rest of the fixed cross: Scorpio, Aquarius, and TAUrus…

That 5° Venus is also forming a square to Mars at 00°Cancer and a retrograde Neptune at 4°Aries forms a T-Square making Mars a very hot handle for the ‘HOMELAND’ perhaps with some angry mothers, or people worried about their children’s future.  This could be a melt-down.

This is quite the line-up of planets, all wanting to get in on this Mazzaroth.

Mercury is getting in on this at 05°Le06'35'', forming a sextile to
Pluto who is turning his wry, caliginous smirk as he continues to expose layer after layer of the demons…ions in this daemonsion.

Uranus 05° II and Neptune 04°Aries are helping with shock and dissolving the illusions that once beguiled the masses, now revealing a darker world led by monsters, of course behind that are the legions, the powers and principalities in the unseen world, who are ancient and BRILLIANT.  For some, Neptune opposite Venus might enflame the ILLUSIONS if they still refuse to SEE, also the person of their desire may just not be all that into you...'So what you're saying is I have a chance."  LOL

Venus in Libra just wants fairness.  She wants harmony and holding her scales, she wants balance and JUSTICE.

I believe we could see at least a dollop of justice being served to give people some sense that the laws are being enforced and guilty people are being held accountable.  She is also in sextile to Mercury who is now at 05°Le06'35''.  That provides a great outlet for communications and relationships.  They might be bringing someone new, a community that you can bring your own gifts to help the whole.
Where does Venus in Libra fall in your own chart?
Speaking of accountability, a retrograde Saturn (Lord of the Rings) at 14° Aries is a bit widely forming a trine to Leo on this new moon eclipse, which is going to add to this ‘circling the wagons’ of support, and will bring up issues of military excesses, leadership failures, and we can expect the finger pointing to increase, with additional information coming forth…Saturn is also Semisquare the north node of fate, the head of the dragon. 

Oh, destiny.  The fates have plans that have been hidden too…something’s got to give. 
All the fires in a RED FIRE YEAR.

All these ‘FIXED CROSS’ placements, Pluto now in Aquarius, North Node of the moon in Aquarius, Jupiter in Leo, Moon, Sun, Mercury are all in Leo now.
Chiron in TAUrus.  The only one of the fixed signs, not inhabited by one of the major planets is Scorpio.
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts (fixed cross: Aquarius, Scorpio, TAUrus, and LEO do we see how ‘lit up’ those signs are now?) saying, Come and see.

4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, (We already have two wars going on, Ukraine/Russia and of course the quagmire of quicksand in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz) and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

In the next 6 months, we will very likely see weapons that no one even knew existed, perhaps they are being created right now. This may be frequency based in some combination with 'splitting' of atoms, cells.  It is beyond frightening with implications of horrid conditions long into the future.  Depleted Uranium on a whole additional level.  I pray I am wrong.
This is tapping back into the solar eclipse at 28° Leo on August 21, 2017, that opened the ‘Great USA Fire Eclipse Pyramid’.
Things are all so different since then…we hadn’t even gone through covid19 yet.

XIX 19-The Sun, Identity, personhood, inner light, being eclipsed.

The newborn sun/son.

Giving birth to the newborn light.  WITHIN YOU

We enter into the darkness, leaving behind the falsehoods, the old stories.

The lies we occlude ourselves with, of who we are, are quickly becoming who we were.

So again, I ask you:

“Who are YOU?”

Pluto…The seduction of this world that pours octane on the fires of DESIRE.

How are you doing with that, it is not only political leaders who find themselves too weak to control temptations, they just have more access, more temptation, and they become VISIBLE DURING THESE TIMES.  YOU ARE IN YOUR OWN HALL OF MIRRORS.

RECONCILE... 

These are the planet degrees in list form:

PLANET       DEGREE

Uranus        05°Ge20'33''                          

Neptune      04°Ar04'43'' R      

Pluto            03°Aq54'23'' R      

Chiron         00°Ta49'54'' R      

Mercury       05°Le06'35''                    

Venus          05°Li53'31''                     

Mars            00°Cn54'46''         

Jupiter         09°Le33'02‘’

N Node        29°Aq47'26'' RS

You want to look to where these fall in your own natal chart.  Do you see all the early degrees?  These are all new beginnings.

Mercury catches up with the sun on the 28^th, when both are CAZIMI at 04°26’ Virgo. 

By the Full Moon on August 28^th, expect at least the harbinger of things being exposed, “open the kimono” so to speak.  The following 6 months will keep revealing one layer after another, things out of the blue’ (Uranus in this grand trine) and believe me, it will be ‘SHOCKING’.

A couple days later, on August 31^st 2026 at 6:16 PM EDT, Jupiter at 13°41’ Leo is forming an EXACT trine to Saturn who will be retrograde at 13°41’ Aries.

This part of their synodic cycle can bring resolution after the square
They started out this cycle when they met at 00°29’ Aquarius on December 21, of 2020. (Star of Bethlehem)

The last exact square was on Jun 15 2025 when Saturn had just made his ingress into Aries at 01° and Jupiter was at 01°Cancer.
They made their last exact opposition to each other, when Saturn was at 14°21’ Libra and Jupiter was at 14°Aries.
Look to those dates to take the temperature of this cycle in your own life.

They began in Aquarius, seeding this time frame as things began to DAWN on the human race, we were moving into a new world.  COVID 19 (they named it in 2019) was unleashed upon the entirety of the earth, in a PAN-DEMIC, as we predicted several years previous.  Then they formed their first square on August 19^th 2024 when Saturn had found his way into the middle of Pisces at 17° and Jupiter was chatting it up at 17°Gemini.

A RECKONING.

They start a new cycle on Oct 31 2040 when they meet at 17°55’ Libra…I imagine we will have found our way after a lot of challenges, civil unrest, financial theft of major GOVERNMENTS, grifting, money laundering and government contracts and associations being held accountable.

People will DEMAND change. 
Will we wait that long?

Albanians aren’t.

Be like Albanian's  

We’ll be back with more on the upcoming lunar eclipse coming on August 28^th, so not to worry, just a little heads up.
But those early degrees, I’ve never seen anything like this in 45+ years of practicing astrology.  I see it in client’s charts.
Usually, I get a movie that pops up showing me past, present, future of my client or in a mundane astrology chart. 
Those are shifting…

Because all of us are shifting. 
We have all been through a lot, terrifying revelations that kept invading the media, seeping into our minds and hearts, violating what we held sacred, as all of it is peeling back, Pluto as the dragon, crumbling the walls, bunker busting our institutions, and he isn’t done.
If it does not have Saturn/EL’s INTEGRITY, it won’t make it.

WE ARE PUPILS...BLACK HOLES ABSORBING REALITY AND PROJECTING A NEW REALITY INTO THIS TIME FRAME.

NOW WE SEE…

DO YOU?

OUR EYES ARE BEING OPENED. SO, WE CAN SEE.

WE HAD EYES, BUT WE DID NOT SEE BEFORE.

NOW WE ARE LEARNING WHAT THAT SAYING FROM JESUS MEANT.

BECAUSE WE ARE LIVING INTO OURSELVES.  SOUL-CONNECTIONS

MAKE EVERYTHING LIGHT UP.  THE WIRING HAS BEEN THERE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME.

MAKE IT A NOBLE CAUSE...

Oh, btw...if I haven't mentioned it here yet, this full moon eclipse coming on August 28th at 4°PIsces, is going to be more difficult for President Trump than the last one. Things are coming into FULL VIEW.
That will include marital issues magnifying, what will happen with Melania...she COULD LEAVE, THE RELATIONSHIP.
If they could keep it on the downlow and still divorce, they would.
At the very least, there will be a more pronounced separation.
(She could go overseas for a lengthy period).
No, things don't look good, especially on that front.
Don't take the stairs.
