We crave results, preferring to see the reality of any given situation. Even so, there can be some disconnect between our feelings and our intellect with the Moon’s oppositions to Mercury and Jupiter this morning. Minor disagreements, mainly about sensitivity to feelings, are more likely now. The Moon heads into Aquarius at 3:34 PM, encouraging us to seek intellectual stimulation and unusual or unconventional experiences. It’s a good time to connect with our initiative and independence, especially with the Moon’s trines to Mars and Uranus later today. We are more in tune with our instincts and less demanding of people around us. We also notice and appreciate the more unique elements of people, situations, and projects. Jupiter forms a square to Chiron today, and it’s the final in a set of three in an approximately nine-month period while Jupiter was in Cancer and now early Leo. During this cycle, we may yearn for meaning and understanding, yet it’s daunting to align with a personal philosophy or belief system that authentically reflects our core. Beliefs and ideas might lead us astray, or we might confront a crisis of faith. Something might arise that challenges our fundamental beliefs, leaving us in disarray or confusion. We could feel isolated in our opinions or plans, as others may not understand our vision. Past decisions that once seemed wise may now appear questionable, or we might encounter a person or obstacle that disrupts our lives. Still, these experiences ultimately serve as important lessons in self-belief and understanding our purpose. It’s best to look within ourselves to gain a deeper understanding of our true needs and beliefs during this period. Mindlessly following something that doesn’t serve our purpose can lead us astray. Before embarking on new business endeavors, it’s better to pause and reflect. This is a time to reorganize and reassess our goals, beliefs, path, and personal philosophy, while being mindful of overdoing and/or overcompensating.

We can feel a deeper Thursday, JULY 2 Today’s Aquarius Moon aligns with Pluto and harmonizes with Neptune early today, and this evening, it harmonizes with Saturn. We can feel a deeper kinship with others through commitment to a cause. A Mars-Jupiter parallel points to enthusiasm that may be overdone, but is certainly inspiring and exciting. Change is in the air, and we are feeling strong enough to embrace it. It’s a good influence for enterprising ideas as we get into the spirit of things. We can be especially resourceful today. With a Saturn-Ceres sextile, we’re also recognizing the value of organizing and structuring our home life or relationships with loved ones. Responsibilities to our loved ones are clear, and we more readily accept them.

The Moon spends another day in Aquarius. Friends, community, groups, causes, and happiness goals can be in stronger focus now.
In the hours surrounding the Friday, JULY 3 The Moon spends another day in Aquarius. Friends, community, groups, causes, and happiness goals can be in stronger focus now. In the hours surrounding the Moon-Venus opposition early afternoon, affections are more complicated. We tend to overindulge if we feel restless, or we can struggle with whether we want to be close to someone. As the day advances, we approach a Mars-Uranus alignment that perfects very early tomorrow. The need to make changes to routine areas of our lives is building. It’s the first alignment of Mars and Uranus while Uranus is in Gemini, and there can be abrupt changes, choices, or decisions about transportation, communication, making connections, and learning, leading to a reshuffling of priorities. Nervous energy and provocativeness, as we may use words and actions to shock, can be themes. This transit occurs approximately every two years, and with it, we can experience a sudden desire to make things happen. It’s a powerful time to let in change and rid ourselves of attachments that weigh us down. We are bold and assertive, willing to experiment, and hyper-conscious of a need to act independently. The best way to harness this exciting but erratic energy is to act rather than react. However, it can be challenging to know whether our impulses stem from genuine desire or from rebellion against restrictions. We should watch for rash decisions and impatience, which can lead to missteps. With this transit, anger or rebellion can be sudden, quirky, or unexpected. It can also be a highly inventive and resourceful time, when we’re ready to innovate and move forward. We tend to thrive on new challenges. The Moon is void today from 1:28 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (an opposition to Venus), until the Moon enters Pisces the next day, Saturday, July 4th, at 2:31 AM EDT.

With this transit in force, we actively seek inspiration. Our intuitive guidance can be put to use, especially if it helps increase our sense of connectedness. There can be the letting go of anger or a softening of the disposition now. We prefer to cooperate or go our own way rather than compete. We are also ready to act on our compassion, communicating our intentions through actions and gestures, and our intuition for making the right moves is strong. We might open up to unusual or alternative healing methods or the use of compassion and forgiveness for healing purposes. Creative arts can thrive. Even so, the Pisces Moon forms squares to Mars and Uranus, and Mars forms a parallel with Uranus today, and our desire to innovate remains strong throughout the day. We’re doing things differently, not content with the status quo. We seek new, creative, original, and unique experiences. The Moon is void today until the Moon enters Pisces at 2:31 AM EDT.

Today’s Mars-Pluto trine puts us in an excellent position to harness the power of desire and make it work for us.
With this influence, Sunday, JULY 5 Today’s Mars-Pluto trine puts us in an excellent position to harness the power of desire and make it work for us. It’s excellent energy for reworking or overhauling a project. We are incredibly effective and perhaps a little ruthless about getting rid of what we don’t need. It’s a powerful time for stamina, energy, and confidence as well as for getting to the heart of a matter. Later today, we approach a Sun-Saturn square, however, which can present some challenges or obstacles. Facing a reality may be in store.

We can experience a decline Monday, JULY 6 The Sun forms a square with Saturn today, bringing on a rather cautious and serious energy to our lives. We can experience a decline in vitality and encounter obstacles and challenges. Sacrifices may be necessary. However, these very things can help us recognize our ability to overcome challenges, boosting our sense of self-reliance. It can be a time to face reality, recognize the practical side of a situation, and assume more responsibility. Generally, with this aspect in play, it’s best to conserve energy and downplay the ego rather than fight or push things. This is a time for thinking about what’s best in the long term, and it may mean forgoing or limiting something in the present. The Moon continues to transit Pisces until 11:07 AM EDT, when it heads into Aries. The Aries Moon forms rich aspects today, pointing to increased confidence and opportunities as the day advances. We want to start fresh, and we’re less interested in the past than in what will work for us today and going forward. The Moon is void from 1:21 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Mercury), until the Moon enters Aries at 11:07 AM EDT.

Neptune stations and turns retrograde today, and this shift casts a veil over our practical affairs. There can be a temporary loss of inspiration Tuesday, JULY 7 Neptune stations and turns retrograde today, and this shift casts a veil over our practical affairs. There can be a temporary loss of inspiration as we realign our dreams and wishes with what’s inside us. The retrograde cycle itself, which lasts until December 12th, suggests a period of taking in, receptiveness, and some indecisiveness. It can be a period of feeling in limbo, but it might also be a time of great inner discovery. This isn’t the first retrograde turn while Neptune is in Aries, but it’s the first one where Neptune spends the entire retrograde in the sign. The Last Quarter Moon phase occurs at 3:29 PM EDT, marked by the Sun in Cancer forming a square to the Moon in Aries. This phase signifies a shift in our perception of recent events, as we begin to see them in a more mature light. The next few days are opportune for reassessing matters from a more experienced viewpoint. However, it’s important to note that we might feel temporarily tense or conflicted. The Moon transits impulsive, direct Aries all day. Still, as the Moon aligns with Saturn early afternoon, personal responsibilities can come to light. We can be quite motivated to be more self-reliant, and we may find wisdom in traditional methods.

Neptune Retrograde in Aries: July 7-December 12, 2026 Note that retrograde times are approximate. The Neptune retrograde cycle is a period of increased receptiveness, even if we’re putting some of our dreams on hold. It can be a time of indecision or feeling in limbo, but it can also be a period of personal discovery. We may feel let down by a matter when the shift happens, but this can lead us along a new and improved path.

A creative aspect between Venus and Neptune early today boosts our ability to solve interpersonal problems and is strong for intuitively understanding and getting Wednesday, JULY 8 A creative aspect between Venus and Neptune early today boosts our ability to solve interpersonal problems and is strong for intuitively understanding and getting along with others. It can be a good time for relaxing escapes. We appreciate subtleties and nuances more than usual. However, the Moon continues its transit of Aries until 4:31 PM EDT, which is straightforward, unsubtle energy! The Moon in Taurus from 4:31 PM forward is harmony-oriented, comfortable, and stubborn. Stability and permanence satisfy a deep emotional need. While the Taurus Moon can have a stabilizing effect on our feelings, the Moon’s alignment with Chiron this afternoon prompts us to recognize our need for self-direction. It motivates us to address unresolved emotional matters and to approach them creatively. The Moon is void from 2:42 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Venus), until the Moon enters Taurus at 4:31 PM EDT.

Venus enters Virgo today, where it will remain until August 6th. We may find more pleasure in our work or wellness routines than usual Thursday, JULY 9 Venus enters Virgo today, where it will remain until August 6th. We may find more pleasure in our work or wellness routines than usual during Venus’s stay in Virgo, and the satisfaction of a job well done is particularly rewarding. Pleasures and pastimes that serve a useful purpose become more appealing. Virgo is sensual yet practical. We express our love through practical means and gestures–running errands, paying attention to detail, or simply being there for our loved ones. However, there may be some nervousness, and we should be mindful of a tendency to worry, overanalyze, or fret, especially in our relationships during this cycle. A Mars-Juno trine encourages us to be direct with one another early today. Our relationships strengthen as we share power and validate one another’s input and opinions. We act with more purpose and resolve but also have a strong awareness of other issues and others’ agendas, which is a powerful combination. A Mercury-Mars semi-square, in play as the day advances, introduces some nervous tension or impatience into our communications and actions. We can quickly come up with ideas or retorts, but we can be a little jumpy and snappy under this influence. If we succumb to the pressure to complete tasks quickly, we may be working under stressful or hectic conditions. It’s not an ideal transit for patience or listening skills. However, frustration could fuel our motivation to make a change. As well, we head toward a Venus-Chiron trine, which is friendly for matters of intimacy or commitment. We’re open to learning from one another. It’s not only a strong time for building trust in relationships and recognizing the potential in one another, but also a time when we’re clearer about what we value in material things and pastimes.

This is a time when we express our love through practical means and gestures–running errands, doing detail work, or just being there Venus is in Virgo from July 9-August 6, 2026. This is a time when we express our love through practical means and gestures–running errands, doing detail work, or just being there for our lovers. Love needs to make sense and have a purpose with Venus in Virgo. Virgo is an Earth sign, which is sensual, but Virgo is also quite practical and mental. In addition to our romantic natures, what we purchase and the types of entertainment we enjoy during this cycle are ruled by whether or not they make sense and serve a practical purpose. We could easily feel guilty if we are too self-indulgent at this time. Rendering services to others can fill a need, and can be an expression of love. The shadow side of this position is being overly critical of our partners or relationships, picky, nervous, or worried. During the Venus-in-Virgo cycle, we can gravitate to, and find some benefits in, holistic healing, acupuncture, yoga, and nutritional boosts. We’re keenly interested in ways to enrich our lives and boost our well-being. “Health is wealth” could be a motto now. In fact, we might enjoy health-boosting activities more than usual. Businesses promoting nutrition, wholesomeness, and well-being might prosper at this time. Commitment and attention to detail are also more prominently considered virtues now. In love, we’re not very showy, flowery, or demonstrative. Instead, we show our love through being of service. We’re conservative with money, pleasure, and romance at this time, ready to analyze and dissect these matters. This can also be a time when helping others, particularly with good advice regarding these Venus-ruled things, can be prominent and successful. We might meet friends or lovers through our work or health-pursuits. We can take a special interest in handiwork, crafts, lists/sorting, and bookkeeping. Excludes the Moon.

It’s possible that we’re enabling others or succumbing to our own indulgences. We may be temperamental when it comes to our feelings and affections. It can be all too easy to fall back on behaviors and indulgences that keep us distant from our true feelings and needs. Still, we’re open to using lessons from our past experiences to clear the path for personal accomplishment. Being open, honest, and willing to be vulnerable can help us move forward. The Moon continues its transit of steady Taurus until 6:42 PM EDT, when it heads into sociable Gemini. Our mindset is happy, friendly, and optimistic. We may be living in our heads in some manner later today, and we might fully enjoy exchanging ideas and information. The Moon is void today from 6:13 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Mercury), until the Moon enters Gemini at 6:42 PM EDT.

Today’s Sun-Uranus semi-square, a minor aspect, adds a layer of rebellious energy to the day. This transit can stir some restlessness that may seem Saturday, JULY 11 Today’s Sun-Uranus semi-square, a minor aspect, adds a layer of rebellious energy to the day. This transit can stir some restlessness that may seem too generalized to put to productive use. We can feel compelled to shake things up, make changes, and break the routine. However, we could also be tense if there are unexpected schedule changes or if we’re not in touch with what we need to change. In such times, it’s better to keep things simple. The Gemini Moon is communicative, intelligent, and curious. While it’s generally a light energy, the Moon’s alignment with Mars suggests a tendency toward impulsiveness. We’re connecting with our need for information and contact, and we’re ready to put some muscle behind achieving these goals. This aspect awakens emotional desire and stimulates a sense of urgency. Also today, Venus forms a semi-sextile to Jupiter, which can create some ambivalence. It’s challenging to find a balance between what we want to do and what we think we should do. As a result, we could be see-sawing between alternatives. Temporarily, it can be difficult to settle on a solid plan that pleases us. However, this is a forgiving, gracious transit, boosted by today’s Venus-Chiron parallel. We’re seeking meaningful connections. The Moon is void today from 6:11 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Saturn), until the Moon enters Cancer the next day, Sunday, July 12th, at 6:46 PM EDT.

Our stores of compassion and imagination are readily Sunday, JULY 12 The Moon continues its transit of Gemini until 6:46 PM EDT, when it moves into Cancer. Our stores of compassion and imagination are readily accessible, and we’re open to latching onto something that inspires us this evening. However, the inferior conjunction of the Sun and Mercury occurs today, marking the middle of the Mercury retrograde phase. We get a unique window into the past as it might impact our future. It’s an important time for new ideas, although they’re very new and raw at this “birthing” stage. There is an awakening happening at this time as we release old patterns and begin anew. It’s a good time to process recent events and ideas, and to begin looking at problems or issues from a new perspective and understanding, mainly related to home, family, and nurture. Significant new ideas are born at this time, and they’re likely to have staying power or significance down the road. What we say or write now has more impact than usual. Still, we may not have all the facts necessary to reach a solid conclusion, and we might later have to revise our plans or decisions. The Sun approaches a parallel to Mars today, strengthening our resolve and quickening our reactions. This transit increases energy and enterprise. The Moon continues its void period today until the Moon enters Cancer at 6:46 PM EDT.

Venus forms a square to Uranus this morning, a quincunx with Pluto and Neptune this afternoon, and heads toward a semi-square with Mercury, complicating Monday, JULY 13 Venus forms a square to Uranus this morning, a quincunx with Pluto and Neptune this afternoon, and heads toward a semi-square with Mercury, complicating our interactions and assessments of value today. The Venus-Uranus square presents a potential challenge or struggle as our values and tastes clash with our need for change. This transit can temporarily disrupt love, pleasure, and social activities. We can feel torn between wanting closeness and freedom. It may be that impulsive attractions to people or material goods can lead us astray, so it’s best to be cautious and mindful of our decisions. Instability, restlessness, and rebelliousness are possible themes, especially in our relationships. It may be best to hold off on financial decisions, as there is a tendency to act impulsively rather than thoughtfully. We may also feel discontent with our current pleasures or pastimes, and a change may be satisfying at this time. It’s wise to tame restlessness or avoid abrupt moves, but consider our needs for growth and a change of pace. Ideally, discomfort with the status quo can lead to highly creative workarounds and improvements. Today’s Venus quincunxes can also bring some uncertainty. However, uncertainty is often a precursor to growth. There can be reassessments of close personal relationships, spending, entertainment, or social life. We might want to see things realistically on the one hand and prefer to nurture a fantasy or look the other way on the other. There can be insecurity or doubt about others or our own feelings and perceptions. Indecision is likely. Fears can disrupt the flow, but they can also help us see what we previously overlooked. Ideally, by working through these uncertainties, we can emerge more self-aware. As well, we’re heading toward a Mercury-Venus semi-square, exact early tomorrow, and our words may not reflect what’s in our hearts. As we strive to get the words just right, we may fall short in our sensitivity. We may be in two minds about a matter, and decisions can be hard to come by. Nevertheless, we’re making an extra effort to cooperate. July 13, 2026 Overview of the Day EDT(GMT-04:00) World 28 14julOverview of the DayJuly 14 2026Daily Overview Tuesday, JULY 14

It’s a time for feeding our foundation — all that we call “home,” including the foundation we’ve built inside ourselves. It’s also a time to recognize the importance of our family and our circle of friends, as well as the security, sense of belonging, and safety we derive from them. This is a time to commit to goals that honor our deepest, most intimate feelings, to accept support and offer support to others, and to start a major long-term venture or project aimed at improving our domestic lives. This New Moon aligns with retrograde Mercury, making it hard to see our path, but our discomfort with the past can feel very real now, motivating new beginnings. Mercury approaches a semi-square with Uranus, pointing to minor erratic elements, most notably in our communications, thought processes, and outlook. We’re mentally excited but distractible. We may rush to complete something, share an idea, or communicate, but things could end up half-done if we’re impatient. We are bored with routine, which can signal a need for mental refreshment. The Moon is void from 5:44 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to the Sun), until the Moon enters Leo at 6:35 PM EDT.

New Moon in Cancer Chart: July 14th, 2026 The New Moon in Cancer is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Crab. These include honoring our deepest, most irrational and intimate, feelings; recognizing the sense of security and safety we derive from whatever it is we call home; allowing ourselves to accept support and offering support to others; and starting a project aimed at improving our domestic lives or a major long-term venture. With this potent Cancer energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives that will benefit us well beyond this Moon cycle. It’s time to make some plans and set the stage for reaping the rewards from our new beginnings, as little or big as they may be, in approximately two weeks’ time after the Full Moon occurs. Concentrate on new ways to enhance family life and domestic affairs, and to build up your feelings of security and safety. This phase of the Moon occurs at 21 degrees and 59 minutes of Cancer, affecting people with personal planets and points at approximately 18 to 26 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) most significantly.

We take a greater interest in the details Friday, JULY 17 The Moon spends the day in Virgo, and we gravitate to practical activities and helping others. We take a greater interest in the details of our lives at this time of the lunar month. As well, with Venus forming a biquintile with Saturn today, we’re inclined to maneuver and plan tastefully. We may be showcasing our reliability and loyalty. We head toward a Uranus-Pluto trine, the first of five in a set that will extend until May 2028. With this meaningful transit with long-term influence, we more readily tap into our deeper ambitions and motivations, and this knowledge of and connection with our inner selves can lead to terrific new directions. We recognize the need for change and reform, but also realize that having a solid plan of action is to our great benefit. As such, it can be a time of measured, deliberate change-making. It’s a fine time for forging new alliances and friendships. We might awaken to hidden or dormant talents, including inventiveness, or recognize a stronger desire for independence and freedom. The desire for new experiences is compelling. On another level, it can be a time to use our power and spread our resources more fairly. It can be a time of important, meaningful social shifts as we recognize inequities and course-correct. We’re not only unafraid to address touchy, complex, or taboo issues we once glossed over or ignored, but we also find creative solutions. We no longer unquestioningly accept the status quo, and we no longer tolerate burying our heads in the sand to keep the peace. Still, we should watch for overconfidence as we unearth dark or hidden matter more quickly than we can process it. It’s a potentially powerful time for reform, growth, and change, particularly regarding the sharing of power and resources, individuality, and humanitarian, philosophical, or religious beliefs and practices.

However, the Sun is parallel to Uranus today, and we’re drawn to experience extraordinary things or make a change. It’s a time to make room for spontaneity as we seek new or unique ways to express ourselves.

This influence favors modest ambitions and a moderate approach. Thoroughness brings rewards, and we appreciate slow but steady progress. This transit encourages a sense of responsibility and a feeling of directedness. It’s a good time to temper our energy, pace ourselves productively, and exercise better judgment. It’s also a satisfying time to get organized. We’re heading toward a Jupiter-Neptune trine, exact early tomorrow, and this energy is considerably different. This is an outer-planet transit with long-term influence. At this time, idealistic and humanitarian goals or impulses surface. Making connections with others from different backgrounds is in the spotlight. Widening our minds through unusual or different experiences can be a theme during this phase. Practical considerations could take a back seat now. Generosity and compassion increase, and our faith gets a real boost. We are also vastly more willing to make personal sacrifices for what we believe is the greater good. The Moon continues its void period today until the Moon enters Libra today at 12:57 AM EDT.

Our deeper ambitions magnify. With Jupiter opposite Pluto, we can be quite ambitious, feeling that if we set our sights high enough, we can achieve anything. However, treading lightly, while it may not come naturally, is advised as it is easy to stir up opposition. We should watch for a tendency to take on too many interests, activities, or desires under this influence. Exaggerating our importance or power, either to ourselves or others, should also be avoided. Something might challenge our belief system, prompting a major attitude change, or we might have to face narrow-mindedness in others (or in ourselves). This can also be a time when we feel such enormous pressure to succeed or chase a desire/goal that we make mistakes and exercise poor judgment. Possible themes are exploitation, manipulation, fanaticism, obsession, opportunism, legal issues, hidden agendas, and ulterior motives. If energies are channeled well, however, it can be a time to heal, reform, and improve. Trying to force our beliefs on others will only lead to frustration. The tendency now is to push too hard in general and to ignore the important details. Thinking in big terms is fine, as long as we also consider the more practical details of any pursuit. We should also examine the reason for dissatisfaction or discontent. Read more about the aspect, Jupiter opposition Pluto.

With Jupiter sextile Uranus, changes and innovations are exciting. We’re open to new energies, approaches, and attitudes. Fortunate events occur as a direct result of our willingness to entertain the unusual and to think outside of the box. This transit favors group activities, financial endeavors associated with groups or organizational efforts, online connections and ventures, educational pursuits, writing, publishing, speaking, and humanitarian efforts. Our outlook is positive and optimistic. During this transit, we tend to view change and activity as good things. We’re less tolerant of repetition and routine, and we’re resistant of obligations or limits to our self-expression. Good luck or money can happen unexpectedly, appearing in the nick of time. When Jupiter is in Leo, we can be quite personal, but when Jupiter in Leo forms a sextile to Uranus, it helps us detach somewhat from some of this so that we can embrace change. We’re doing communicating, transportation, connecting, and learning in different, non-traditional ways at this time, and this attitude can open new worlds for us, even in little ways. We can find unique or unusual ways to enjoy ourselves or help and inspire others. We might bring out the best in one another by recognizing each other’s unique talents. This transit can also improve our optimism and positive mindset. We might profit, spiritually benefit, or boost business through new industries and novel approaches.

[Note: Often, aspects formed between outer planets and slow-moving points occur three or more times in a set due to retrograde motion.] With Neptune sextile Pluto, we are especially able to see the layers of a situation. We’re intrigued by what makes things work and by people’s motivations, as well as economics, natural resources, parapsychology, and politics. It’s a time of rich experiences and cultural movements, transformative scientific thought and advancement, and of paying more sensitive attention to human rights. Psychic energy is intense but not overwhelmingly so during this phase of spiritual unclogging. We seek a sense of purpose or magic now, wanting to elevate what’s mundane or ordinary in our lives. We might work on deepening our intuition, imagination, or compassion, or we might feel more compelled to act on these things to make a change.

The True North Node is in Aquarius from July 26, 2026, to March 26, 2028.
The True North Node is in Aquarius from July 26, 2026, to March 26, 2028. While the North Node of the Moon transits the sign of Aquarius, it’s a time to embrace our humanitarian, community-oriented, and forward-looking sides. If we’ve found ourselves too attached to the drama of romance and personal relationships or perhaps willful and overly focused on getting what we want, this is a powerful cycle for correcting the imbalance. In fact, benefits come to us as we do so. It’s a time to address and work on fears in relationships by offering freedom to our partners instead of expecting them to act as we want them to act, to accept that we are all equal and that we can still be special if we belong to a community. We’re now working toward greater impartiality. It’s a powerful time to cultivate sensitivity to the needs of others. Our personal relationships and romances will suffer when we take things too personally or expect others to follow a certain script that we have unconsciously written for them. Learning to let go of an excessive need for drama and attention as we move towards a more objective approach to our lives can help us achieve a greater sense of balance. Cultivating true friendships is in the focus now. Our path is learning to be more impartial and less possessive in relationships and with creative projects if this is needed. As we learn to let go of the need for a passionate chase, satisfaction will come. This is a time during which we should solve problems that require thinking “outside of the box” and looking to the future with a brand new, positive, and hopeful vision. Activities that benefit us during this period include brainstorming, extending a friendly hand, graciously receiving support, and expressing platonic love for those around us. We might learn to sometimes give our emotions and passions a “break” as we develop more objectivity and some detachment from past haunts. We might take the chance to revitalize ourselves through experiences that are new or simply different. It’s a time to recognize that some level of detachment and distancing ourselves from our habits and attachment to the past will help us break away from destructive behaviors that are holding us back. It’s a powerful cycle for contributing to our community and working towards the common good. Qualities to develop: detachment, impartiality, and humility. Note that the Moon’s North Node travels a sign for approximately 18 months. When the North Node is in Aquarius, the South Node is in Leo.

The Moon is Full in Aquarius on July 29, 2026, at 10:35 AM EDT. Full Moon in Aquarius Chart: July 29th, 2026 A Full Moon occurs when the Sun in Leo at 6 degrees and 30 minutes forms an opposition to the Moon in Aquarius at 6 degrees and 30 minutes. Our feelings blossom now. Full Moons are about connecting us with things we already know but aren’t acknowledging, such as buried feelings, or they bring secrets to light and projects to a turning point. The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. It is an emotional time – a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships. The Leo Sun is proud and intensely individual–not content with simply being just one of the team. The Aquarius Moon, while individualistic as well, values independence and the team, community, and group spirit. The Full Moon illuminates this conflict. When a Full Moon occurs, we can suddenly burst forth with proclamations and outpours that seem fresh and new, simply because they are not yet rationalized. In fact, a Full Moon illuminates feelings, attitudes, and circumstances that are already in existence. This is a time of awakening to the need for others or to answer to humanitarian impulses. This Full Moon occurs with the Sun conjunct Jupiter and the Moon conjunct Pluto (and Juno). It harmonizes with Neptune and Uranus. With this configuration, something might challenge our beliefs, motivating us to make changes and improvements. There can be a faceoff between our morals and our fears or suspicions. We can be dealing with issues of power and control, but we’re also finding creative ways to move forward. It can be a time when we attach a higher meaning to our struggles or need an incentive to carry on our plans. Still, a desire to enjoy ourselves or grow our relationships can be motivators now. Our need for love, generosity, and affection runs high.

Venus is in Libra from August 6 to September 10, 2026; later, from October 25 to December 4, 2026. Why two date ranges so close together? This is due to Venus is in Libra from August 6 to September 10, 2026; later, from October 25 to December 4, 2026. Why two date ranges so close together? This is due to an upcoming retrograde cycle when Venus will begin its retrograde in the sign of Scorpio but return to Libra. We favor employing charm over assertiveness to get what we want during this Venus-in-Libra cycle. Usually quite willing to negotiate and compromise, we can be very obliging with others. We’re also very idealistic about love, and we seek intellectual peers. Although Venus in Libra is very relationship-focused, there is an air of cool detachment to this energy. We prefer things are done the “right” way, and aggressive or uncouth behavior turns us off. The shadow expression of this position includes over-dependence and superficiality. To avoid unpleasant situations, we could easily gloss over deeper issues at play in our relationships. It’s probably best to avoid the trap of acquiescing to partners while privately resenting the fact or thinking ourselves martyrs for doing so. While Venus is in Libra, we are more artistically inclined or seek balance in our personal environment. This cycle is excellent for promoting cooperation, harmony, mutually beneficial connections, and fairness. We are gentle but firm, and we’re skilled at mediation. We’re more likely to prosper during this cycle in partnership, through one-to-one associations, such as counseling, or in fields related to harmony, relationships, beauty, design, and the law. We’re not fond of out-and-out competition or aggressive pursuit, preferring win-win situations hands down. We attract things to us and appeal to others gently and kindly. Equality and politeness are important now, and we despise hurting others’ feelings. Venus enters Libra Excludes the Moon. Major aspects are indicated by bold dates.

With this transit, we may not listen as well as we normally do since we’re very focused on our own ideas. We’re also strong about making decisions ourselves and letting our voices and input be heard. This is not a time when we’re content with letting others make all the moves or decisions–we need to be involved. We take the lead, manage, direct, and create while Mercury is in Leo. We need to relate to information or create stories about it to absorb it well. During this cycle, we should watch for being too inflexible, proud, or haughty to change course.

We pursue our interests ardently, but we avoid a direct approach to going after we want while Mars transits Cancer. As well, our goals and plans are subject to mood swings and vacillations. We are defensive rather than overtly aggressive. Much of what we do depends on our current mood of the moment. We’re also very intuitive and can be moved to take action to bring peace or comfort and safety to our lives during this period. We go to bat for our loved ones. In fact, we’re fiercely protective. It’s a powerful period for putting ego matters aside so that we can push our plans forward. Inner satisfaction and love are generally more important to us than outer achievements at this time. Personal and domestic goals are our priority during this phase. Fun fact: The last time Mars was in Cancer, it stayed for a long time due to a retrograde cycle. This time around, its cycle’s length is more typical.

This New Moon eclipse might challenge these matters and present opportunities for new beginnings. Long-term changes are in the works! This is a time when we can focus on building our self-confidence by discovering our paths as distinct individuals, uncover our unique creative powers, and make a conscious effort to deal with others in a more personal, involved, and loving manner. We might re-commit to our enjoyment of an existing romance, hobby or passion project. We might also commit to adding more leisure time and “play” time to our lives. With this potent Leo energy, we have the chance to make progressive changes in our lives. For some of us, circumstances are such that we need to pay more attention to these matters. Flaws in an important system in our lives reveal themselves around the time of the eclipse, prompting us to redo or to start fresh. Something ends in order for something else to start anew. Major developments in the personal areas ruled by Leo are likely to occur over the course of the next six months. However, not everyone will feel the effect of the eclipse with the same intensity. Those whose personal planets are activated by the degree of the eclipse are likely to feel its effects on a highly personal level. This phase of the Moon occurs at 20 degrees and 2 minutes of Leo. Solar Eclipses occurred around the same degree as this one on August 11, 2018, August 11, 1999, August 10, 1980, and August 11, 1961. The last times we had eclipses falling along the Leo-Aquarius axis were from August 2016 to January 2019, from February 2008 to August 2009, and from August 1998 to July 2000. Similar themes may emerge in our lives. This eclipse can highlight and challenge our issues surrounding our romantic connections, pursuit of entertainment, and attitude toward expressing and enjoying ourselves. We might take steps toward improving in these areas by tackling things that undermine our goals or connections. Circumstances nudge or encourage us to see where we haven’t been true to our authentic selves. Ultimately, we are now in a position to understand that changes or endings are necessary for our own growth, and that we can handle these things! It’s a powerful time to re-evaluate our need to stand out, express and share our talents, and play and enjoy our pastimes. An eclipse occurs close to the nodal axis, and this eclipse is closer to the South Node of the Moon. Eclipses close to the South Node tend to feel a little more challenging than those conjunct or closer to the North Node, as we can concentrate too much on the idea that we might have to let something go. Those of us with planets and points strongly stimulated by this eclipse can feel especially drained and tired, both physically and emotionally. There is a need to let go, forgive, cleanse, and release. Where does the New Moon fall by house in your natal chart? Read more here. Read more about eclipses here.

Our focus shifts to the pieces of the puzzle–the little details of our lives. It is now time to take care of practical concerns. Attending to the details of everyday life may not sound like loads of fun, but it can certainly free us from unnecessary stress that results from “collecting” odds and ends of unfinished business. This is an ideal time to get organized, to do detail work, and to improve communications on the job. We take more pride in our work, chores, and health efforts. We also want to be more organized and informed during the Sun-in-Virgo cycle. We’re learning humility and the benefits of developing skills, some level of perfectionism, and the importance of attention to detail. It’s a time of down-to-earth practicality, when we prefer to invest our time and energy in things with realistic potential. We’re not inclined to ambition or going big. Attracting prosperity involves honest, careful, and attentive work and dedication. Sun in Virgo This list excludes the Moon. Major aspect dates are in bold.

When Mercury is in Virgo, precision in speech, thought, and process are more important to us. This is a time when we analyze and decide what is useful and what we deem to be impractical. Mercury feels right at home in Virgo, one of the signs that it rules (Mercury rules both Gemini and Virgo). Dealing with details is natural and easy now. We need to be careful that we don’t lose perspective if we find ourselves lost in details, however. While Mercury is in Virgo, we should also be aware of the possibility of expressing ourselves in a too factual manner, so much so that we come across as dry, critical, or unimaginative. We gravitate to useful information, and we can enjoy helping others with our knowledge. It’s a time for analyzing and dissecting, but we need other influences to put the pieces together or to see the bigger picture as our confidence in so doing is not strong at this time. It’s a time of conservative thinking and a strong tendency to want facts and certainties. This list excludes the Moon. Major aspect dates are in bold. August 25, 2026 7:04 am EDT(GMT-04:00) All World 12 28aug12:18 amFull Moon/Lunar Eclipse on August 28, 2026in Pisces The Moon is Full in Pisces on August 28, 2026, at 12:18 AM EDT. This is a partial Lunar Eclipse. The Moon is Full in Pisces on August 28, 2026, at 12:18 AM EDT. This is a partial Lunar Eclipse. Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces: August 28th, 2026 A Full Moon occurs now as the Sun in Virgo forms an opposition to the Moon in Pisces. The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. It is an emotional time – a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships. There can be inflated feelings, so it’s wise to sit with them for a bit before taking action. This phase of the Moon occurs at 4 degrees and 54 minutes of Pisces, opposite the Sun at the same degree of Virgo. Note that this is the sixth eclipse of an eclipse set of seven occurring along the Virgo-Pisces axis that began in September 2024 and runs until February 2027. This set began almost two years ago, in September 2024, with a Lunar Eclipse in Pisces, continued with a Lunar Eclipse in Virgo in March 2025, a Lunar Eclipse in September 2025, a Solar Eclipse in Virgo in September 2025, a Lunar Eclipse in Virgo in March 2026, this one (Lunar Eclipse in Pisces in August 2026), and a Lunar Eclipse in Virgo in February 2027. As the sixth in a sign set, this August eclipse can serve as a further prompt, nudge, or push to make improvements in Virgo- and Pisces-ruled areas of life in our charts, and feelings of discontent can magnify. Occurring close to the time of a Superior Conjunction of the Sun and Mercury, an epiphany, illumination of a matter, or a clearing of the air is likely and significant. We are sharp, communicative, and open at this time, and what we say or write now has a strong impact, for better or worse! An idea or plan can come to full bloom. Read more about this and other eclipses affecting our lives in Eclipses/Lunations. This eclipse affects people with personal planets and points at 0 to 10 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces). A Lunar eclipse is an especially potent lunation, in this case a potent Full Moon. Lunar eclipses are relationship-oriented. The “crisis” that these eclipses tend to elicit is a crisis of lack–a time when we suddenly realize a great need or want. The impact of the crisis can act to sever a relationship–it’s possible. But it can also bring two people together with a sudden awareness of a great need for each other. Although Lunar eclipses are more relationship-oriented than Solar eclipses, they are not always about relationships between two people. They can trigger awareness of need in other areas of our lives, such as our relationship to work, to our health and bodies, and so forth. This is a time when matters come to light–things that have been brewing under the surface. When a Full Moon occurs, we can suddenly burst forth with proclamations and outpours that seem fresh and new, simply because they are not yet rationalized. A Lunar eclipse is a more potent Full Moon, and its effects tend to last longer. Many astrologers believe that the effects of a Lunar eclipse last approximately six months. Lunar Eclipses are about relationships and polarities. With the Virgo-Pisces service axis involved, this Lunar Eclipse presses us to look more closely at our needs, lacks, and wants. We are encouraged to find a balance between day-to-day functions and routines, physical health, and the need for order (Virgo) and vision, spiritual health, disorder, and the infinite (Pisces). Virgo rules the tools and techniques we use to deal with day-to-day life, while Pisces rules the tools we use to deal with our spiritual selves. The key to balance lies in identifying and expressing our spiritual needs while maintaining order in our everyday lives. Neglecting either end of the axis will surely backfire–we would either be living in chaos or excessive order. A crisis of sorts (which can be a crisis of consciousness) or sudden awareness of a lack in our lives provides us with a golden opportunity to explore our emotional needs within the context of the house polarity where the eclipse occurs in our natal charts. Relationships may be challenged, broken, or strengthened dramatically shortly after the eclipse. Our discovery is emotionally charged and dramatic. Epiphanies are likely at this time as we become acutely aware of our lack. This understanding can propel us into affirmative action. However, it’s important to note that we’re temporarily in the dark about a matter at the time of an eclipse, and we’re seeing another area of life as if we’re looking at it through a magnifying glass. It’s distorted—we don’t yet have the full picture. This perspective does help us, ultimately, but it helps to remember that we’re missing something and to defer judgment. Full Moons and Lunar Eclipses bring issues in our lives to fulfillment. Our emotions are heightened, and there is often some sort of drama involved with the house, sign, and any contacted planets activated by the Full Moon. Look to 4-5 degrees of Virgo and Pisces in your own chart (allow up to about a 5 degree orb when examining the planets and points it aspects). The areas of life activated by the eclipse may see dramatic turns, after which the path is clear to move forward. Note that whatever happens at this time is nothing truly new. The issues have been brewing inside of us, and emotions have been building. Something comes to light at the time of the Lunar Eclipse, and if we get in touch with our emotions, we can get a better idea of what needs to change, or what needs to go. This Lunar Eclipse in Pisces is bound to thrust us into a state of heightened awareness. It’s a time to take special note of your dreams, as well as insights or thoughts/emotions that seem to come from “out of the blue.” These could be creatively inspiring. The range of emotions that Pisces registers is extraordinary, and this could be a time when we feel that enormous range. Around the date of the Full Moon Lunar eclipse, the idealistic side of us comes out full speed ahead. Some of us will be irritable and won’t know exactly why. Others will be moved towards romantic declarations or revelations. Still others will be walking around in a kind of daze, seeing only what they want to see while their common sense is temporarily “eclipsed.” With Virgo, we are acutely aware of imperfections. We see the flaws around us and perhaps become very tense and irritable, or we work hard at fixing them. To Pisces, however, imperfection is beautiful. At the time of the Lunar eclipse, we may suddenly see this Piscean “light.” With the health and service axis (Pisces-Virgo) involved, health or work issues may come to the fore. As well, the ability to set boundaries to the amount of service we render can become a major issue. Situations that test our faith, or magnify our fears and doubts, may be part of the picture. Secrets may be revealed, and these can include discovering secrets of our own nature from deep within. For some, a new “calling” will surface in the coming six months. A new line of work that better matches our inner nature, desire to serve, or emotional make-up may unfold in the months following this eclipse, particularly if the natal Sun, sixth/twelfth houses, or tenth house is activated. We may discover that we need more rest or attention to our spiritual nature than we are currently allowing ourselves. This is a time when lunar energy emerges and is most powerful. It’s a time when we can tap into our more idealistic, imaginative, and visionary nature. Our hearts open, and issues of trust and faith are in focus. Decisions made now are emotionally-driven. With the Moon full and bright in the sky, symbolic “illumination” occurs in our own lives. However, these new feelings and revelations are emotional ones, as there is a sense of emotions bursting forth into our consciousness. It’s time to express ourselves, and to let things out of our systems. Of course, we might want to exercise some care while doing so, knowing that what is coming out of us is new and not particularly rational as yet. This is a time to clear up past patterns that have been holding us back from personal fulfillment. We might open ourselves up to possibilities, examining the emotions that push to the surface, but finalizing plans should probably be saved for a later date. On August 28th, 2007, a total Lunar Eclipse occurred at a similar degree as this Pisces one. In 1988, a partial Lunar Eclipse occurred at a similar degree on August 27h. Previous to these dates, Lunar Eclipses occurred at about the same degree of Pisces in August 1980 and August 1969. It might be helpful to think back to issues in your life that were in effect in the last four months of 2007, 1988, and 1980, if applicable, to get an idea of how this 2026 Lunar Eclipse might affect you. However, you can also look back in a general sense to eclipse sets occurring along the same Virgo-Pisces axis as the current one in effect from September 2024 to February 2027 for more information gleaned by looking to the past to understand themes in the present and future.

Jupiter, at 13° Leo 41’, forms a trine aspect with Saturn at 13° Aries 41’ in August 2026. This is the first of three such aspects while Jupiter Jupiter, at 13° Leo 41’, forms a trine aspect with Saturn at 13° Aries 41’ in August 2026. This is the first of three such aspects while Jupiter is in Leo and Saturn is in Aries. [Note: Often, aspects formed between outer planets and slow-moving points occur three times in a set due to retrograde motion.] When Jupiter and Saturn connect, we tend to make things happen. This combination favors concrete accomplishment. With Jupiter trine Saturn, we’re ready to put in the effort to achieve our practical goals. We are pragmatic, realistic, and our judgment is especially sound–and we derive much satisfaction from practical accomplishment. The key to harnessing this incredible energy is to identify and find pleasure in the simple things that make us happy. At the same time, we may notice areas where small, incremental improvements can be beneficial. We see opportunities where we previously saw limits, but we’re not going overboard. It’s a fine time for setting and pursuing reasonable goals. Being even-tempered can be a successful approach now. Read more about the Jupiter trine Saturn aspect.

Venus is in Scorpio from September 10 to October 25, 2026; later, from December 4, 2026, to January 7, 2027. Why two date ranges so close together? This is because Venus is in Scorpio from September 10 to October 25, 2026; later, from December 4, 2026, to January 7, 2027. Why two date ranges so close together? This is because of an upcoming Venus retrograde cycle that divides its time between the signs of Scorpio and Libra. Deeply passionate relations are the focus with Venus in Scorpio. Superficial flirtations and contacts do not satisfy now, as we yearn for “body and soul” contact with someone special–contact that breaks the taboos, that is extreme and intense, and that is unforgettable. This is a highly emotional position for Venus. It is a passionate, sensual, and intense energy. Our relationships are immensely important to us, and we may even feel that they consume us. In fact, we tend to want to be consumed by them! Our drive is toward intense closeness, but blind faith in our partners is extremely hard for us now. Similarly, we seek or gravitate to absorbing, deeply engaging, dramatic pleasures, activities, projects, and art during this Venus-in-Scorpio cycle. Things that are profound, disturbing, mysterious, or unusual can be more appealing now. Fears of being too vulnerable or of giving up our own power to others are strong. We can be very sensitive and passionate, but when upset, we might shut others out completely. Scorpio is an “all or nothing” energy, and relationships tend to be somewhat of a rollercoaster ride as a result. Disdain for mediocrity and superficiality can compel us to create crises to feel alive and vital. This can be a good time for finances, especially when working with others’ talents or resources, whether as an agent, supporter, or partner. Excludes the Moon. Dates of major aspects are in bold.

When Mercury is in Libra, we are diplomatic and friendly. During this cycle, we are able to bring a more rational approach to one-to-one relationships. It’s a good time to think about ways of improving our negotiation skills. In an attempt to see both sides of any given situation, Mercury in Libra can be a vacillating energy. It can be more challenging than usual to make quick decisions, as we can sit “on the fence.” We may too easily accommodate others’ opinions in order to keep the peace. In our negotiations, we don’t want to assert ourselves in such a way as to appear to be the “bad guy.” This is not a time for hard work or getting down to the nitty gritty. Instead, we prefer to mend fences, socialize, and harmonize. This is a powerful period for considering others’ points of view. We are more inclined to arrive at fair conclusions. We benefit and prosper through communicating more effectively and diplomatically, mediating, and negotiating or compromising. In fact, we might frequently think about ways to harmonize and live/interact more peacefully. Favored now are the law, counseling, partnering, editing, and public relations. During this cycle, we dislike and avoid indelicate, rude, or self-centered communications. Our thinking is moderate–we avoid extremes of opinion, preferring to be fair to all involved.

Today, Uranus begins its retrograde phase, which will continue until February 8th, 2027. Uranus Retrograde in Gemini: September 10, 2026-February 8, 2027 During this cycle, our desire to make changes in our lives can turn inward as we get in touch with what may be holding us back from living more spontaneously and authentically. We may be less overtly rebellious and more inclined to follow the rules while Uranus is retrograde approximately five months a year. As the shift occurs this week, however, Uranian energy is more challenging, and we can experience some tension until we acclimatize to the directional change.

This New Moon in Virgo harmonizes with Mars. The New Moon occurs as the Moon aligns with the Sun in the sign of Virgo. A time of new beginnings, this New Moon presents an excellent opportunity for us to formulate some goals regarding “all things Virgo.” We’d do well to concentrate on new ways to get our day-to-day life organized. We might think about the keywords for this particular and earthy sign — such things as analytical, intelligent, reserved, critical, helpful, conscientious — and consider ways to enhance, develop, or incorporate these traits into our personalities. Please note that Virgo is found somewhere in every person’s chart, and these are the areas of our lives most affected now. The New Moon in Virgo is an excellent time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Virgin. These include: We’re ready to make something special of our work, routines, or tasks. It’s a powerful time to transform our jobs, health, self-care programs, and habits. We’re filled with energy and courage to make improvements. It’s a spontaneous, creative, forward-looking time. There can be some roadblocks to manage, largely related to responsibilities to others or to our spiritual or mental health, but we’re determined to start fresh.

[Note: Often, aspects formed between outer planets and slow-moving points occur three or more times in a set due to retrograde motion.] With Neptune sextile Pluto, we are especially able to see the layers of a situation. We’re intrigued by what makes things work and by people’s motivations, as well as economics, natural resources, parapsychology, and politics. It’s a time of rich experiences and cultural movements, transformative scientific thought and advancement, and of paying more sensitive attention to human rights. Psychic energy is intense but not overwhelmingly so during this phase of spiritual unclogging. We seek a sense of purpose or magic now, wanting to elevate what’s mundane or ordinary in our lives. We might work on deepening our intuition, imagination, or compassion, or we might feel more compelled to act on these things to make a change.

With the Sun Sun is in Libra from September 22-October 23, 2026. Libra rules relationships with others as mirrors of ourselves. Meeting others halfway, compromise, and negotiation come under the rule of Libra. With the Sun now in Libra, the focus is on balance–finding balance and harmony through relationships with others and through art. Libra is the sign of the peacemaker. However, life is not always peaceful with Libra in its attempt to restore balance. Decision-making can be more challenging while the Sun is in Libra. Libra weighs both sides of any situation, and sometimes this process seems endless! In Libra, the Sun is concerned about not rocking the boat and not rubbing others the wrong way. Tactfulness, style, tolerance, and sociability are some of the keywords for Libra. On the shadow side, Libra can be self-serving, indecisive, passive-aggressive, or superficial. Surface harmony may be a goal, but we could avoid or gloss over the deeper elements at play. The Sun-in-Libra cycle is especially strong for sociability and fair-mindedness. We believe in being pleasant and polite out of respect for others. Putting out good vibes and treating others as equals brings rewards and contributes to our prosperity at this time. We’re ready to right wrongs and restore balance and harmony. The ability to get along and boost one another is powerful. More awareness of our rights and those of others can lead to a stronger sense of self. Partnerships are in the spotlight. Mediation, counseling, public relations, partnering, and law are in good shape and strong focus. One of our strengths with the Sun in Libra is the ability to find the common ground.

The Aries-Libra polarity is a relationship axis, where Aries represents ‘self,’ and Libra represents ‘other.’ Aries is about self-assertion, while Libra is about the power of compromise. Understanding this balance can empower us in our relationships. Through the energy of the Libra Sun, we are reminded of the importance of relationships and the effort required to maintain them–compromising, negotiating, graciousness, and balancing. The Aries Moon, on the other hand, is self-assertive, leading, and personally courageous. This Full Moon urges us to strike a balance between meeting our personal needs and attending to the needs of a significant other–and between independence or autonomy and dependence or companionability. The Libra Sun is diplomatic, equality-minded, and fair-minded. The Aries Moon, however, values authenticity over tact and is energized by independent efforts. The Full Moon illuminates this conflict. Neglecting either end of the Aries-Libra axis will surely backfire on us. Ideally, we find a balance between the two energies, which the Full Moon invites us to do. This Full Moon is about emotional declarations. Something has been building inside of us, likely of a personal nature, and now is the time when the energy of the cosmos fairly demands that we let it out. Over the upcoming weeks, we will discover what this declaration means for us. For now, we can’t sit on our feelings. We need to express them. The Full Moon illuminates the conflict between “me” and “you,” and between autonomy and sharing. With the Moon full and bright in the sky, symbolic illumination occurs in our own lives. However, these new feelings and revelations are emotional ones, as there is a sense of emotions bursting forth into our consciousness. It’s time to express ourselves and to let things out of our systems. Of course, we might want to exercise some care while doing so, knowing that what is coming out of us is new and not particularly rational. This lunation reminds us to consider how we are honoring ourselves in the context of our close relationships. New revelations can occur now, particularly in the areas of our physical bodies, leadership skills, our ability to initiate and begin new things, and our close partnerships. We’re brave, determined, and resourceful. The Moon aligns with Neptune and harmonizes with Pluto and Uranus at the time of this Full Moon. Full Moon in Aries Chart: September 26th, 2026 (Additional points) This phase of the Moon occurs at 3 degrees and 37 minutes of Aries, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 0 to 8 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) most significantly.

Note that Mars typically spends about two months in a sign, but this time around, it transits Leo for much longer, although in a divided way. This is due to an upcoming retrograde Mars cycle that divides its time between Virgo and Leo. Mars will be retrograde from January 10th to April 1st, 2027. and will be retrograde specifically in Leo from February 21st to April 1st, 2027. From April 1st to May 14th, 2027, Mars will continue its transit of Leo in direct motion. Why two dates? Due to a Mars retrograde cycle that begins in Virgo but returns to Leo.
