TL;DR: Weâre talking about the Astrology of the beginning of August. ITâS ECLIPSE SEASON BABY. Times are changing, times are weird and theyâre probably not going to be what we had envisioned 6 months ago. If youâre only here for the horoscopes, scroll all the way down!
Alright my sweet babies,
ITâS ECLIPSE SEASON (dun, dun, duuuuuuuun)
Okay, but we do need to calm down. This happens every six months like weâve done many of them before and weâre still here, so before we all start crying, just remember that.
However, and this is a very big âhoweverâ, I promised I would be honest with you so, yes. Weâre in for a fucking roller coaster over the next month or so. I mean, we have already been on a roller coaster but this will be a different one wahaaaay! Varietyyyy. 2026 has been like having a fast-pass at Alton Towers or something, I imagine.
Iâve been spending time writing out the weekly articles and notes well in advance because Iâve been inspired to get prepared (as someone who is never prepared we are turning over a new leaf). And the good news is, Iâve been finding pockets of astrological weather that are so much calmer than the last couple of months. So I wanted to let you know that, so maybe you can feel settled too? I donât know. But anyway, the next two weeks are big (again).
I want to start by saying thank you by the way to all of you who pledged their support for our new paid Subscriptions. We are so so excited and I wanted to share a couple of the messages we received with those because they meant a hell of a lot to us and actually weâve been overwhelmed with the love and support.
I say this because if YOU are someone with a Substack and youâre worried that no one sees what you do (or cares), this is proof that they do. This is proof that people believe in you, enjoy your writing and appreciate the work that goes into what you put out. This is proof that they will support you and your voice is worth it.
So yeah, I want you to know that.
If you did want to upgrade your Subscription to receive our weekly article 92°, where we take you day by day through the astrology of the week, give you tarot readings, mini horoscopes, journal prompts and other fun things, we would absolutely love to have you with us. Hereâs an example of one that we put out that is totally free.
But yeah, thank you to all of you, you really are the kindest humans weâve ever met.
But back to the next two weeks, me and Marta are going to visit her family in Portugal and Iâm finally going to witness an eclipse in real life AND a bloody meteor shower. Two in fucking one. Thereâs something really really beautiful about that and actually taking the eclipse out of the context of astrology and putting it into the context of a literal vision to behold, or whatever, is going to be incredible for me. If you are in Europe, get some glasses and watch it. At least western Europe, youâll probably have a great view, even in the UK itâll be 90-92% I believe. It might be the biggest solar eclipse youâve seen since 1999, if you were alive or old enough to remember seeing it back then! I think especially if youâre into astrology, itâs important to have a look at the literal sky. To associate the physical with the spiritual in a way.
Because astrology is an ancient practice, it isnât something we invented last year, people have been making sense of the sky since the dawn of time. Noticing patterns in events and biological cycles aligning with the phases of the Moon. So I do want you to watch it, if you get the privilege.
It gives a sense of why, way back when, they all thought that eclipses were like the markers of difficult events or even the end of the world. Because like. THE SKY GOES DARK. Can you imagine LOL? Being a random anglo-saxon like, âwhat the fuck, the Sun is gone, must be the end of daysâ. The astrology of it all kind of follows on from that.
Maybe thatâs what weâve carried after all these years and why every time we hear the word eclipse we shudder. Eclipses are times of change, times of unexpected events, a lack of clarity before the dawn as it were. And we donât love change do we? Even if youâre someone who is super free spirited, thereâs always something that keeps you feeling safe.
I think for the most part, this eclipse will talk about the collective vs the individual. Who rises and who falls. Especially those who are in positions of great power, I donât see some of them being there very much longer. Iâm really not saying that every world leader is gonna get whatâs coming to them, itâs just that there might be one or two, or however many I have no idea, that fall from a great height or something.
We, the people, stop putting them on their pedestal.
Because they embody the worst traits of Leo right? Sometimes I mean, not all of them of course. But Leo has pride, it has ego and is somehow built to be the centre of the world, which might sound familiar to some of those who have been elected (or not) to govern us all.
I want to also say that I donât think we will all fall into absolute disarray and have no leaders and start becoming like anarchists or whatever, but you know, thereâs a change of scenery in that department.
And it could be just an attitude from all of us, maybe we donât want leaders like we have had in the past. Maybe we go to the polls, or the protest, or start educating ourselves on the truth of what is going on right under our noses and that those we idolise arenât exactly what we think.
Because it isnât just the Prime Minister or whatever. This is those influencers who seem to earn a fuck load of money from selling us things and then it turns out they donât even use it, the ones who promote illegal botox or GLP-1s while never touching the stuff or the ones who actually lead a really different life with different moral compasses to what you see on screen. Itâs all of them.
All the people we somehow collectively decided were better than us and set the bar for our lives.
Maybe we all just now collectively decide to not give a shit about them. Like we just say that we donât have to BE those people, we are already enough, theyâre no better than us or no worse than us, theyâre just kind of.. there. Doing their thing. We donât need someone to look to, or someone to tell us what to do and where to go and recommend absolutely everything to us. We can actually go out and give things a go, we can fail, we can make a mess, we can buy the wrong thing and regret it and take it back because thatâs what lifeâs supposed to be. Ask your friends what THEY like, what THEY recommend. Talk to your local businesses for their recommendations for other services that you wonât find on Google Maps or Instagram Stories.
We actually found the most wonderful woman who alters clothes (and by the way does the most exceptional job) because we went into a local dry cleaners in desperation and it turned out his friend ran a service up the road. And let me tell you, we RAN to her as fast as humanly possible and will now never go anywhere ever again. We couldâve very easily gone to an expensive store in London, been completely out of pocket, cried and had a terrible chain-like experience. But instead we found someone who was more talented than anyone we would have found in a huge store and it turns out that everyone in the local area already knew her, we were just late to the party. Her clothes to alter were piled up half way up to the ceiling (thatâs actually not even a lie by the way). Because sheâs good at what she does.
We donât need to go to the store with the big name or travel miles for a good haircut just because that guy online said he recommends the ÂŁ500 an hour service. Ask people around you, ask your community.
Whatâll make this whole reshuffle difficult though, is that Mars is in Cancer. Lol, hereâs the soggy soldier. And you know, bless Mars in Cancer, itâs not like a fighter per se, more a defender. Iâm a Mars in Cancer and you know, Iâm not really a fighter. Unless Iâm backed into a corner or thereâs someone who needs my help, then mate off I go.
But I want you to think back to early 2025, when Mars was last in Cancer, that was a tough one for a lot of us, I know. Mars was retrograde and it was just a period of time where things didnât feel super safe in our inner world but also out in the general world. But what was going on for you, whatâs coming back up once again?
Maybe there was something then that you felt obligated to protect, maybe you were trying to defend others who you felt were less privileged then you, or more vulnerable or maybe your kids were having a rough time and you had to step up to look after them or something. I donât know. But there was something you needed to fight for, or mainly defend.
Cancer isnât really an âattackâ, itâs more of a defense kinda girl. Like, if you attack Cancer it might not come back with aggression but it will for sure defend itself and that can be another way to win the fight. Tire out the enemy, or something. We might be backed into a corner but maybe we use the two walls behind us as protection and our bodies to defend. Let them throw whatever they want, weâre standing as strong as possible and protecting what is rightfully ours.
Youâll be pleased to hear that Mars wonât retrograde through Cancer again though. And by you, I also mean me, I will be pleased to hear that. January 2025 was one of the worst months Iâve had in years. It wonât be faffing around like that until next January so you know, weâve got a little bit of time.
But with that said, why donât we move into the horoscopes since I know thatâs why a lot of you join us every few weeks!
Do you want to find out how this astrology affects you personally? Or get your questions answered through a Tarot reading? We got you.
If youâd like to get weekly updates of the day to day astrology, tarot reading a mini horoscope and journal prompts and the occasional weekly ritual or practice, upgrade your subscription to paid! Hereâs one of the free examples of our article â92°â and what youâll receive each week here â
I decided to go with Aquarius first this week, and you know, I was going to go with Leo but then I felt like Leo had so much spotlight and I felt bad SO, Aquarius, youâre up. Which means if youâre a Capricorn, youâll have to scroll ALLLLLLLLL the way down for your reading.
These are general readings of course, I donât have your individual charts in front of me, so take what resonates and leave what doesnât. Theyâre written for your rising sign (ascendant) in the whole house system but I 100% recommend you reading both your Sun and your Moon too.
If you use another house system you can read other signs that exist in your first house to get a more rounded picture if you like!
Basically, as I always say, do whatever you want. Youâre free to read these as you choose and if youâre super committed, read them all! Fuck it. Throw caution to the wind. Who am I to say what to do, the eclipses are coming and times are changing!
Astrology is all about patterns so save this article and come back to it in September, notice what landed in a completely different way than you thought it would! Itâll really surprise you actually.
I love you folks, we might not be super active over the next two weeks because we are on our holidayyyyyys, but we will keep you all updated for sure and donât worry, all your tarot posts and astrology updates are scheduled and ready to go! Wahay!
All our love,
Two Optimystics x
These Horoscopes are totally free but if youâd like to leave a donation to keep our work going, you can do so here! If not, donât worry! We are genuinely grateful for all your love and support!
Aquariussss, I really want to preface this by saying, Iâm not indicating a breakup between you and your partner. Okay, there, Iâve said it. Now you have to take what Iâm saying and not put that spin on it! This eclipse is happening in your 7th house of partnerships and look, of course, it can be an indication of something difficult happening there and some of you might already be aware of a divorce on the horizon or something so yes, there is that. Iâm not going to dress it up in bows, but a lot of you wonât even have anything to do with that. Maybe some of you the opposite! Maybe over the next 18 months youâll get married, move in together, find a new business partner or meet close friends for life. Like itâs not a one size fits all, so no matter what else you read on the internet, itâs important that you hear that. I had eclipses in my 7th house last year, clearly me and my girlfriend didnât break up because here we are! But we did have an issue with her Visa for the UK which was a fucking nightmare so yes, it meant we were âapartâ in space and distance sometimes while that was being sorted but it manifested in that way. At the same time, we created this Substack, so you know, itâs ALL a part of the same theme. But anyway, maybe thereâs something youâre letting go of within your partnerships, that could be some beliefs you hold about what it means to be in partnership or maybe some boundaries either come up or down depending on what your default setting is. But thereâs something changing in the way you deal with others.
Because itâs not going to only be about others right? Like, soon weâre going to have those eclipses in your first house, so thereâs something there about you and the way you identify. And along with that comes change in the way you relate with others. It could be with your romantic partners, clients, business partners or anyone you work with or are committed to fully. Jupiter is here as well, hey Jupiter! And heâs trying to support you to expand your partnerships and grow them on fertile ground as it were. So thatâs great! Like if youâre looking to meet someone or something, thereâs a tonne of opportunity for that. The amount of people youâll be introduced to over the next couple of years will probably be more than you can count so youâll start to understand how you need to be in partnership and what works for you on a practical and emotional level when it comes to being with other people. I want you to think about the people who you most want to grow with, the ones you are committed to. The south node being here will ask you to do some shifting around of the ones that arenât ready or willing to go on that journey with you. And thatâs no oneâs fault you know? Weâre all ready at different times. But the landscape will look quite different once youâre done tending to it.
There are so many wonderful blessings coming towards you in the form of other people or the things you do with other people over the next couple of years. So many opportunities for success and for meeting the right people at the right time but there is also a lot to get rid of. All that people pleasing type of thing or the behaviours that donât serve a relationship because we want you to be meeting people that are going to be good for your mental and physical wellbeing. We want you to commit to people who will support you, love you, care for you and settle for nothing but that. Of course, for the most part when we let go of something, itâs painful. So if any of you are going through the grief process right now of letting go of a person or a dynamic in a connection, I want you to know itâs okay to take a rest and recuperate from that. Itâs tough. Really it is. Iâm not going to say that you wonât miss them and you should just get over it, I donât believe in that. You lost love. Itâs horrible. But there are good things coming on the horizon, there are beginnings, dawns after the dark night. Those of you whose current partnerships have lost other types of partnerships or contracts and youâre helping them through that, itâs okay to talk to someone outside of the relationship when youâre struggling to hold things together. A good therapist never goes amiss. You donât have to do it all alone.

Alright kids, buckle up, weâre really going on a ride (you and me both, Iâm a Pisces rising). So, weâre thinking really heavily about the stuff that we call âworkâ, whether thatâs your chores around the house, the 9-5, taking the dog out for walks, volunteering or working on the projects that you feel of service to. This is the part of our chart thatâs going to be really important over the next couple of weeks. How is your body doing? Howâs your nervous system? How are your systems or the ways you work on the day to day, are they still working for you? Because that eclipse in Leo is going to come around and show your where maybe things arenât doing so great. You know, like show you what you need to get rid of, what habits are not serving you anymore. Are you eating enough? Sleeping enough? Exercising in the way thatâs good for your body? Do you keep to a schedule or do you let yourself get out of sorts? What is it that makes your daily life unstable? I know that life can feel chaotic, trust me, I do. But even when we feel life is taking away all our autonomy, thereâs a lot we can do. Itâs about taking small steps to slowly improve your life rather than saying we donât have time, we donât have the energy, we donât have the money. All of those things are totally valid, LOL YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I GET THAT, but there is an in between. A place where we can be smart about our resources, a way we can use the five minute scrolling time to read our book, or to nap, or to research fun things to do for free or free courses in the place we live. Itâs just that sometimes it feels itâs not going to make a difference, but imagine if you do that everyday, itâll make way more of a difference than doing nothing.
What stops you from taking care of yourself properly? Where do you let other priorities take over your importance? I get it, life is full of responsibility, and as a Pisces thatâs really really difficult, but we have to get to grips with the idea that we are also our responsibility. We need to keep ourselves healthy and well looked after. Get rid of anything thatâs holding you back, anything that saved you once when you were a kid but no longer helps. And you know, thereâs a lot going on at work probably, or what you call work. Maybe youâre putting out some projects right about now or you feel that youâre being of service to something really important. There might be some awards coming? Or recognition for something youâve done? It really doesnât have to be an actual award but maybe people start to appreciate your hard work over the next few weeks or you get a lot more compliments around what youâve given your blood, sweat and tears. I want you to think about where you can show up as a leader and a role model. How you can be the example. But not just the example of the hard worker, the example of someone who takes great care of themselves, whilst also being of service to others.
My main advice to you (and me) is this, take care of your wellbeing. In all aspects. Mentally, physically, spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, in all the ways you possibly can. Thereâs so much going on and so much business that itâs easy for someone as emotionally attuned as you to get sucked into all of it. Even the stress that isnât yours. Donât do that. You donât need it. You want to prioritise yourself because chances are you really havenât been. I want you to take yourself on the holiday or the trip to the beach and I want you to feel the Sun on your skin and the wind in your hair. I want you to cook good meals with warm carbs and fresh vegetables and I want you to do a 5 minute yoga session or whatever feels good for your body, those little things that make a difference to our overall health. Itâs not about you getting sick, itâs about you already being overwhelmed and not caring for yourself right now, itâs about you putting everyone else or all your responsibilities in front of your wellbeing. Thatâs the thing. And you know, listen, it would be cool if I sat here and was like âthis eclipse will bring you true wealthâ sure, but what is wealth without health (omg lol that was such a bad rhyme what am I doing, I promise it wasnât on purpose). Yes there will be opportunities or new cycles beginning at work over the next two weeks, but also, the opportunity to give yourself a bit of love is far greater.

You know Aries, this oneâs an interesting one. The eclipse is fast approaching this week and weâre talking ALL about your creative projects, the ways creativity impacts your life, your pleasure, your children and your self expression. Weâre letting go of something over the next 18 months in this series of eclipses, something that is tied up with the things you create and the ways you express yourself. What did people say about your creativity when you were young that stuck with you? What criticism did you receive about your creative abilities? Because thereâs something here about the ways thatâs affected you as youâve grown. Perhaps you have the belief that youâre not a good writer or a good painter or you dance weird or canât sing, all because your auntie once said your sketchbook looked like shit, itâs that. Despite your auntie just being jealous that you are talented and for some reason adults are dicks to children. But anyway. You are a creator. I always say this but as an Aries, youâre first, youâre the egg, the thing that all things are born from. What came first, the Aries or the egg, the Aries for SURE. So whatever you think about your ability to create, youâre born with the gift of creation. Everything you do, is creating something. I want you to really focus on getting rid of the rest of it. Get rid of the bits that stall your creativity, get rid of the idea that you shouldnât do it just because youâre not the best at it right now and really get rid of the idea that your creativity has anything to do with what other people think.
I want you to think of âgetting ridâ of your creative blocks as meaning adding more creativity in the place of nothingness. In the moment when youâre bored, sad, tired, lonely and doom scrolling, draw something, doodles, whatever. Something. Doesnât even matter what it is honestly, but putting something like that in there to fill the time and my hope for you is that youâll see how much you get from just making something out of that empty time. Getting yourself out of your head and onto paper, so to speak. I donât know. Itâs just something that I think is a good thing to try. Jupiter is here to help you have more fun, so whilst the real task is letting go of your blocks, adding fun will actually help with that process. Like when youâre trying to thicken a sauce because you added too much water, you need to of course be boiling off the water and getting rid of it, but also adding a little bit of corn flour or something can be the secret to removing the water. As you can tell, Iâm a terrible cook, but I hope youâre understanding the power of addition in the process of removal. If you get the chance over the next week to take up an invite for either, pure fun, art class, teaching children or dancing in the kitchen, take it. Whatever it is. See how it feels when you let the fun in, let the creativity in and ignore all those who told you before that you werenât supposed to do that.
We donât want bullies, Iâve said this before, we are bullies. We bully ourselves and in fact, bullies that weâve met throughout life probably also bullied themselves and just needed an outlet for their misery. I know itâs not an excuse but nowâs the time to remove the bullies. Youâre not in school anymore, you have the choice to get rid of them, even if theyâre just âthoughtsâ. So yeah, I donât want to overwhelm you with stuff this week, so Iâm going to end on this, but you deserve to have a clean slate with yourself. Figuring out what you love in life is half the battle to figuring out what makes you unhappy. Sometimes we have to do the opposite. If youâre feeling like something is missing or youâre trying to do some healing through therapy, sometimes the best therapy is addition, adding fun, adding creativity and adding a song that pumps you up to start your day. Those negative thoughts you give so much power to? They donât deserve a place at the table. Remember that next time you look in the mirror and pick yourself apart. Youâre a seed, an act of creation. And you have more potential than you ever give yourself credit for.

Alright Taurini, thereâs a change happening in your home, family or living situation with this eclipse. I donât know how many of you are looking to move or are seeking a different type of home and family life than the one youâre so used to, but that change is coming. Maybe you feel as though youâre still living out the patterns you were a part of as a child or youâre literally living with your parents right now and itâs not a level of autonomy you wanted for your adult life. We all come from somewhere, maybe sometimes somewhere stable and safe we can return to but easy to get stuck in, sometimes somewhere completely unsafe and we now have to create our own idea of what safety is. But whatever that is for you, understanding and moving past it is a huge task as we grow up. Working through family stuff is always sticky, families are weird, theyâre a product of their own families and the families before them and so we end up a little mishmash of all those things and trying to make sense of the world at the same time. A different generation with different pressures and expectations and finding a way to deal with that is tough. But I think this eclipse is going to bring you some healing in this area of life, this is the first of a series so maybe the catalyst for the next 18 months happens on the 12th and itâs super obvious, or maybe itâs a seed thatâs planted that starts you thinking differently about where you come from and where youâre going. Iâm not saying your house is going to fall down on the eclipse honestly, Iâm just saying that you already know thereâs something unstable about it.
Coming up to an eclipse itâs not usually as âout of the blueâ as we think, these things build over time, they tell a story. So chances are when youâre reading this, youâre already sort of doing the maths in your head. Maybe you are in the process of discovering something about a foundation you built your life on or something that a family member told you that just isnât the whole truth or something. Or maybe itâs about your literal house that you live in, like the landlord didnât tell you about the service charge you have to pay or you decide that the house is too small now and youâre going to have to sell it to make room for a new baby or your job is in another place in the world and youâre going to have to navigate a big move over the next couple of years. It really doesnât have to be bad. Eclipses arenât always âbadâ, theyâre just changing. And change scares us all because we like certainty (especially you Taurus, sorry but itâs true!). You know, some of you might find that a family member changes their view on something, I donât know. Sometimes we have different political views to one another, because again, different generations, different challenges and maybe a parent tells you you were right because they finally researched past Facebook and you connect on that. Or vice versa.
But for everyone, I have said to take care of yourselves, and Iâm going to reiterate that to you. Because itâs not all bad but it might, for some of you, feel like a lot. Even the good things in life can feel like a lot. Imagine youâre someone whos moving to university or going across the fucking globe to start a new life and itâs amazing and cool and wonderful and joyous but there are a whole load of other feelings that go with that. What does your life look like now? What do you do without all that structure of where you come from? What happens with that? Everything youâve learnt up until this point or what youâve been taught as youâve grown up doesnât go anywhere, it lives within you but you get to decide what you do with it. So take care of yourself as you move through a new phase of life, when life feels uprooting, remind yourself that you are your home, you are everything youâve ever gathered throughout your life and no matter where you end up, youâll always be you.

Geminis my sweet communicators. This week, coloured by the eclipse, weâre going to be talking about your communication, your siblings, your marketing and your mini research projects, your messages and all that jazz. I wonder what messages youâre all sending or receiving, what important communications are you getting? Maybe some of you are making speeches for the first time and it sparks the next stage in your career where you overcome a level of confidence or you end up invited on a podcast that changes everything, Iâm not sure. But thereâs something here of importance. Or you know, your sibling has something really significant happen, you reconnect with them, they get married or graduate or come to work with you or something and it changes the way youâre in relationship to them. Whatever it is, eclipses donât have to be bad. I feel like they get a bad reputation but some of the greatest things in my life happened during eclipse cycles so we canât live in fear, especially not with the third house being activated. Like it might just feel fast. As if you canât catch up, things are moving at speed and youâre like woah this all came out of nowhere and youâre trying to learn how to navigate all of it. Or like, you pass your driving test! And now you have a car and off you go driving around like youâre finally free. I donât know. But thereâs a beginning of something that changes the way you do things over the course of the next 18 months.
Youâve got all this other astrology too right? So for you, it feels like itâs really big stuff. All connected to a new version of you that emerges through Uranusâ time in your sign and I love that for you, I love that thereâs a new level of confidence or a version of you that is kind of energised or buzzing a little. Thereâs an identity shift that is coming your way so your daily life is also changing slightly (or a lot). I think thereâs a lot to be learnt about the ego too for you, because you know, we all have an ego right? No matter how humble we believe we are, the ego is always there, often in the form of self deprecation, but itâs there. So whatâs the difference between confidence and ego? Is there a difference? I think so, I think confidence is more an appreciation that you deserve to be in the room as much as everyone else, but not more or less than anyone else. Itâs accepting of your place in the room, you earnt it, not more or less than anyone. You just earnt it. If that makes any sense anyway. Thereâs something about allowing yourself to not only be the teacher but be the student, itâs something in between the two, always learning and passing on the knowledge to those yet to learn it. Itâs not your opportunity to just disappear when things go wrong, itâs your opportunity to say âokay that wasnât what I was meant to do but thatâs fine, I learnt from it and I will do things differently nowâ.
Giving up just because you donât know everything right now is a real waste of your intellect honestly. It would just be super unhelpful and I think thereâs something in knowing that intelligence isnât just about being the best and knowing all the facts, intelligence is knowing when to let go of theories and when to hang onto them and that even in science, theories are ever changing. That doesnât make us idiots for ever having the theory, but we based it on evidence we had at the time. When new evidence comes in, we change our theory, thatâs the way the world works. So I want you to think about the voice in your head too and how you can give it new evidence that you know more than it thinks you do. Go and be brave enough to stand in any room, because you deserve to give it a go. Just because your theory is that youâre not good enough or donât know enough doesnât mean it canât change. Give it more evidence. Show yourself you can. Take all the noâs and all the yesâs and create a new data bank, give the yesâs more weight. Know that you can, you donât have to keep the identity you always lived by, youâre growing and youâre creating new evidence banks that show youâre a great learner and also a great teacher. Be brave and try.

My lil workers, so weâve got Mars coming in for you this next week. Which you know, Mars in Cancer is kinda icky (lol I have Mars in Cancer in my chart absolutely no hate to Mars in Cancer but itâs just the truth of the matter). Itâs particularly icky for you because itâs in your sign, so I want you to really think about your energy levels, what are you giving too much? Where are you struggling to understand when to stop and when to go? A lot of our resentment comes from our original inability to say no to something that took up a lot of our time or energy so notice when that starts to happen. Where do you get angry or frustrated and how can you let that out in a healthy way instead of trying to avoid conflict all together? Sports is super helpful by the way, just saying, (if you donât want to start a complete war, which we really donât because we have enough of those already) getting yourself to do something physical after a difficult day can be incredible for burning off some of that. Itâs super tempting to be at home and to just slink into bed and avoid the world, but itâs not the best course of action ALL the time perhaps. Notice what happens when you move your body or when you take care of your body fully that all the steam is burnt off and you can simmer down into a nice cool bath. I donât know. Simmer isnât the right word but you get me.
This eclipse is talking about the business side of things or at least where you use your talents and resources and your relationship to them. What is your current relationship to your finances? In your job, do you feel youâre appreciated enough or that you get paid for what you give out? Some of you might be entrepreneurs and have been doing a lot of work for free which might have been a strain on your finances or maybe youâve just been a little over giving with your talent. Whatever it is youâre going to start to work through what it means to have your own resources and how you build them. Maybe youâre starting to heal your relationship to the material. Maybe the idea of charging for your talents, or getting something in return, makes you feel really uncomfortable. Because money is a weird one, or resources in general, like we all need money because we live in the 3D where we have to pay bills and rent and food and all sorts of things we should all probably get for free, but money feels evil sometimes. For a lot of us anyway. The idea of wanting money can feel like a selfish one or can feel desperate. Maybe you donât feel worthy of the money you get or maybe you feel like you donât know how to spend or save or youâre always buying things for other people and ending up out of pocket. I donât know, thatâs your question to answer. But youâll probably learn a thing or two about where your issues with money come from and what taught you to have that idea in the first place. Iâd love you to get to a place where you feel comfortable with the money you make, or feel like you deserve what youâve worked for, especially if youâre someone with your own business selling services or things youâve made yourself. What would it mean to feel proud of that? To be able to live your passions and accept the money you receive from it?
If this has nothing to do with your finances, it could have a lot to do with your talent or things that take up your energy. You know how in life sometimes we spend a lot of energy doing things without getting what we think we should in return. Itâs not that we are expecting the world to fall at our feet for doing a favour, but when weâre constantly expending energy and our quality of life is lessened thatâs the sort of thing we need to look out for. So maybe thereâs a reassessment of that. Maybe you decide to stop doing certain things because youâre not getting anything out of it and you have to get to grips with not feeling guilty for that. Itâs about taking back your personal ability to say no and to make a choice whether something is worth your talent, time or energy (or money honestly). What would it mean for you to be able to say no? Would you have more time or money for different things that would bring your life more joy? Itâs about getting to the bottom of why you consider yourself selfish for wanting to savour any of those things for yourself once in a while. What makes you feel as though you have no personal power? What does that do to your self esteem or to your energy levels? Because if we free up some of our time, finances or energy, weâll have a chance to do things differently. To give our time to other causes where you can actually make a difference or set yourself up for the long term so you can eventually give back. And the same goes if you feel as though you hold onto money really tightly, what can you give away? What can you offer in terms of your resources that you donât need anymore? Itâs a balance between give and take and understanding your balance point is essential over the next 18 months.

Oh my Leos. Oh. My. Leos. Look, bed and a holiday by the sea might be tempting and honestly I wouldnât be mad if you were going off on one over the next two weeks. This eclipse is all about you and I really donât want you to be nervous about it alright? Please tell me you wonât overthink it. The eclipses have been in my first house for the last 18 months and Iâve survived, alright? So Iâm just putting that out there. But letâs not dispute the fact that this is big, it is and I promised I would never lie to you and dress things up in sugar or whatever the fuck. Nah, itâs a big one. Itâs about letting something go, something about your ego or your identity or something you tell yourself over and over again. Which we all need to do from time to time, itâs a necessary part of life. To let go of things and let in other things. I wonder what youâre all going to be letting go of because itâll be different for all of you, some of you tie your identity up to your appearance, your job, your finances, your family, your intelligence, like itâs not a one size fits all thing. So I canât tell you what youâre going to be leaving behind, especially because I donât have your individual chart in front of me, but what I can tell you is that youâll learn something about a new identity youâre forming. You might even know what it is if I tell you that a cycle is coming to an end and a new one is about to begin. Something that involves how you see yourself or how others perceive you from their perspective.
I think my main thing for you over the next two weeks is to not take on too much and honestly perhaps youâve already committed to a tonne of things and thatâs going to all be a part of this eclipse. I hope you havenât over committed and if you can choose not to, then I would recommend that, but if you have just know itâs going to teach you something. Donât beat yourself up if you feel youâre super under energised. Eclipses can feel that way sometimes, especially because your ruler is the Sun and itâs literally about to be taken away in the middle of the day. So it can feel like youâre void of energy. Just make sure youâre understanding the balance between too much activity and too much rest. Itâs about giving yourself a chance to catch up with your alone time at the end of a busy day or getting enough sleep and eating well and not neglecting what your body needs in favour of running around after everyone and everything. I donât know, maybe some of you will be putting something out in the world that youâve been working on and thatâs your rest. Like youâve been sorting a project out for ages and now you finally put it out and itâs done and you have to fill your time with something else. Letting go is all part of this and getting comfortable with surrendering is going to be really important.
Weâre going on a journey, a huge journey, especially you. Jupiter is here, making things even bigger and the south node is here being like âyeah thatâs not working, get rid of thatâ. Maybe you start to notice the things that really hold you back from reaching your full potential and you start to understand what radical change needs to happen. It can feel overwhelming, but itâs all part of the process, youâre shedding your old skin and letting the new one grow. I think if you can, go through your material things and see what you donât need anymore, old paper from school, letters from people or institutions, or clothes that donât resonate with you anymore, all those things that just came from a long time ago that now donât feel like you. The habits that you hold that you just donât think are good for you, maybe they saved your life when you were a child and you needed them at one point or another but right now they donât make you feel good or help in any way shape or form you know? Something like that. Have a shower, have a bath, cleanse yourself of the old and let in the new. Youâre doing something that will help in the long run, keep that in mind as you change and grow.
Your chart isnât everyoneâs chart & this will land for all of you differently. Find out how it affects you specifically and get your questions answered here:
Virgos, Mars is going to start heading back into that friendship house. You know all the stuff that was going on in your communities and groups like all month and probably popped up a lot all last year. So youâre probably going to start getting super busy again with your friend groups or having to move through a couple of different events that show up with your communities or the groups youâre a part of. It might be tempting to burn yourself out running around after your friends or trying to be a part of the group but I want you to think carefully about doing that, I want you to be mindful of your own care and attention. Youâve given a lot to others over the last year so what did you learn from that? What did you learn about your energy levels? And during the Mercury retrograde what was going on in your groups? What were you looking back on, what process were you going through that was making a difference in your community or what have you learnt about the friends that show back up in your life. It might be a little bit frustrating or agitating, maybe youâre wanting to do one thing and your group wants to do another or your group chat is way too busy to keep up with and thereâs people all over the place and itâs difficult to make time for them all. So keep boundaries in mind, keep the idea of looking after yourself in mind. I donât know, maybe your friends have a couple of home truths to share with you and you donât like it but you know itâs for the best. Listen to them, for the most part, theyâve got your best interests at heart.
Youâre another one who I really want to offer up the notion of rest to. I want you to take care of yourself, take care of your energy levels and your body. Notice where youâre neglecting the things you really need on a day to day level and go into the depth of your psyche to understand why that is. This eclipse is probably going to bring a few things to the surface that youâve been doing for a long time, it can feel raw or difficult to deal with but it can also feel very freeing. To be able to say no, to be able to do things alone instead of for other people all the time, to be able to relax and let yourself just exist for a second instead of having to be something or meet an invisible bar youâve set yourself. You donât have to be there for everyone ALL of the time. I applaud your ability to be, donât get me wrong but I also know that wherever youâre over giving right now is tiring you out. I want you to give yourself whatever it is you give other people and maybe right now even more. What is it that you need to do for yourself that youâre not doing because youâre doing something for other people instead? What do you need to focus on healing within yourself that feels like grief? We all have grief, it could be of people, of things, coping mechanisms, places but what are you avoiding grieving. Or what are you not acknowledging about your grief and how it plays out in your daily life. Iâm really not saying that you are destined to be sad this week, Iâm even suggesting that noticing what youâve lived through and suffered through can help you not go back to that. Itâll probably feel raw, very revealing and maybe something youâve been avoiding for a long time.
We do have Jupiter there, of course Jupiter expands whatever it touches, but it also wants the best for us you know? Like he wants us to see the optimism and the potential in our healing or really hone in on the big philosophical lessons that can come through asking lifeâs big questions. So there is help, there is support and there is some joy to be found. Maybe Jupiter will show up in the form of friends who want to be there for you as you go through this period of time, maybe heâll show up in the form of a health care professional or a coach or something, or maybe even finding a passion you didnât know you had. But thereâs something here to help you let go of something thatâs been weighing you down. Be honest with yourself, honesty is really important here, what is bothering you in your mind? What is making you feel like shit? What do you really need to get rid of? Especially to do with your inner critic, how can you overcome that? Our inner bully is the one that hurts us the most and only we can combat that, there must have been times when you overcame it in the past and lived a better life because of it. So whatever is coming up now, look at it through a new lens, but also look back and think of how you tackled something that felt like a loss before and who was there to support you. Maybe reach out to a few of those people and ask for the support you need. Let them be your Jupiter.
Your chart isnât everyoneâs chart & this will land for all of you differently. Find out how it affects you specifically and get your questions answered here:
Libraaaa, so last year we talked all about Jupiter supporting your career and public roles, or at least amplifying what was going on there. Well, Mars is coming back around to do something there too. I want you to be mindful over the next two weeks of how much you take on, both socially and in your career life. It might be a good opportunity to take time off work or to look out for where youâre burning yourself out in the pursuit of visibility. If you do that, it probably wonât be terrible, but thereâs something to be said about dealing with a couple of annoyances in your work or your public life. Maybe it feels agitating and things arenât exactly going to plan or honestly it all just feels like too much, maybe youâre super driven and youâre feeling as though youâre not getting anywhere and you end up hitting a stop sign or burning out before you get there. I donât know. But I want you to be mindful about giving yourself time alone and not just throwing yourself into huge social situations when what you really need is rest.
Something for sure is that youâre going to be experiencing a change or thereâs an important focus on your friends, communities and the groups youâre a part of. It could even be with your audience if you have one, maybe thereâs a new dynamic there, maybe you get a whole new audience and it feels like a lot of pressure to entertain or maybe you meet a whole load of new friends and now youâre like âfuck I have to spread my time so thin help meâ. So take note of whatâs happening in your social circles. I do think some of you will meet people who are super influential or important to your life in one way or another in the future and you are really surprised by your acceptance into these groups you didnât know were even out there. Like itâs busy and itâs cool and Jupiter is here as well so thereâs a huge expansion of what it means to be a part of a community. Maybe youâre invited to a lot of parties or your audience is so interested in what you have to say or you feel super connected to them. As with everyone, Iâm wanting to tell you to balance your rest and social time. Eclipses can drain the fuck out of you, and if youâre someone with a low social battery, make sure you schedule time to rest as well as party or whatever. But definitely see whoâs around you, see what everyoneâs talking about and what causes youâre wanting to join because you really never know whoâs going to change your life in the future.
There might be some more hidden elements to the friendships that come up or your relationship to friendship in general. I donât know, something thatâs been going on under the surface of the group for a while that rocks the foundation or something? Itâs like you all kind of know itâs there and itâs happening but no one really talks about it. Be on the look out for stuff like that, because thereâs always resolution but unless we acknowledge it, we canât do anything about it. What is changing about the group? Like maybe youâre at the stage where some of your friends have kids or are married or moved across the world and now youâre navigating an entirely different dynamic of friendship. Or youâve all got opposing views about world events and now youâre trying to work out what you can tolerate and what you canât. Probably over the course of the next 18 months youâre going to be called to really expand your groups or what you want to fight for socially and figure out what it means to have a community and what it means to have friendships that feel enriching and helpful to your life. Notice whoâs there to build you up and support you when you need it and donât discount the new people who enter, they might change your world view too.

Little Scorpions, look, sometimes we have no choice but to step into the light. And I get it, youâre not one to throw yourself out there but this eclipse is really going to tell you something important about how youâre perceived in public or how you need to keep showing up in your career. So I donât know how many of you have a âcareerâ as we all call it, or what you do to show up in public, maybe some of you are writers, CEOs, politicians or volunteers at the local homeless shelter or honestly all of the above, but whatever you do in a public facing role thatâs what weâre growing. Thatâs the focus. Weâre growing and letting go all at the same time which seems a little weird you know? A little counter intuitive but I promise you it isnât. To have a new beginning, youâve got to have an ending, we donât just keep doing the same thing over and over again because that wouldnât work at all. We all know that. So thereâs an ending of sorts right? I wonder what you all want to be known for or how your public life has started to change. This isnât about whether itâs better, more successful, worse, less successful but observing whatâs going on there is going to be really useful. Jupiter is here, heâs like bitch letâs grow, south node is here and heâs like bitch let go of that shit. So yeah, win some you lose some. Literally.
If youâre looking for a little attention for something youâre doing out in the world, this is a great time for it. Thereâs going to be a lot of questions for you to answer in terms of how you balance your public and private life and how both of them shift and grow with one another over the next 18 months. How do you prioritise? How do you get used to being looked at? I think a lot of us (especially if youâre a writer on here) want exposure, or follows, subscribes and likes or whatever, but when we get them we donât know what to do with it. Or maybe we get them and lose them and then feel that all is lost and we may as well not bother. But this is part of a long journey in terms of the way you validate yourself out in the world and how you confidently show up in the spotlight. I want you to think to yourself that if you donât get exactly what you want in your career life over the next year or so, itâs just not right for you right now. Focus on the things that are going well, the ways you are being seen and witnessed, because it might just be that youâre looking in the wrong direction at this astrology. Itâs not that you wonât get all the things you want, some of you will and more. But it might just happen in a different way than you were first expecting when you read this. And again, itâs the start of this round of eclipses so maybe nothing big happens and you think Iâm chatting absolute shit, but trust me, when you look back in 6 months time, youâll see what happened. Just keep showing up, no matter what else you do, all you need is to keep showing up and youâll get there.
I know that some of you might find this kind of hard. Itâs easy to work really hard and want success but itâs another thing to receive it. If you need to go and do some therapy or talk to people with really good advice, please do it. Sometimes itâs really vulnerable to be seen and no matter how much we want it, itâs a shock to the system the first time it happens. Maybe it shifts your relationship to your friends, family or your partner and youâre confused about that and want to shove yourself back into the box from which you came. You know, stuff like that. But you canât let it win. What other people think is none of your business. Really. I swear. Show up. If things do start going quicker or you become an âovernight sensationâ that worked their entire life for everything they have, just take care of yourself and make sure you give yourself the best chance to be able to show up authentically without burning yourself out over time. Take the steps you feel youâd be able to sustain and be mindful of how you talk to yourself. This is super exciting but excitement feels the same to the nervous system as anxiety so bear that in mind, watch where the wires get crossed. I love you guys, canât wait to see you shine my lil bats.
Your chart isnât everyoneâs chart & this will land for all of you differently. Find out how it affects you specifically and get your questions answered here:
Well hello Sag, so your ruler is involved in all this gigantic astrology and I do really want to ask how youâre feeling. Howâs it all going? Because this isnât run of the mill everyday Moon aspects, like this astrology is fucking huge. So check in with yourself and your friends about how youâre feeling and be sure to talk through whateverâs been feeling pretty overwhelming recently. Weâve got eclipses. Weâve got Jupiter (your ruler) next to an eclipse, so itâs very expansive and very magnified for you this next two weeks and itâs all happening in the part of your chart that has to do with publishing, learning, travel and growth of all kinds both metaphorical and literal. I wonder if some of you are writing something or wanting to put something out there over the next few weeks, maybe some of you are travelling or like, I donât know, starting University for example! Or a course youâve been waiting to do. Whatever it is, this is a catalyst moment. You might not know it at the time, but whatever happens during August has some importance for later, no matter how small. I say it can be metaphorical because I think there are some old beliefs, or philosophies, doctrines or whatever that youâre going to be letting go of too. There could be realisations about what you really believe because you put more research into it and youâre like not sure itâs what you signed up for or whatever. Either way, you get a chance to decide now, you get an opportunity to forge your own path in any direction you choose.
Itâs quite a spiritual place for this to happen, of course itâs all to do with the act of learning, researching, publishing and travel and all that, but when you really think about it all of those things are expanding your horizons. As is spirituality, as is believing in something greater than yourself. So I wouldnât be surprised if some of you are going through a process of understanding what your belief system is, maybe youâre getting into astrology or Tarot for the first time (and honestly if you are and youâre reading this, itâs an honour and a privilege to be one of your first introductions to that. It really is. Thank you). But thereâs something about losing our ego in favour of searching for the full truth and nothing but the truth. You know, like in court or whatever. Maybe some of you are dealing with some sort of legal things actually or maybe youâre getting married, could also be part of it. We all have our own truth, but sometimes there is THE truth and we can be blindsided by what we believed and didnât want to look at properly. So I think youâre going to be looking for that, working out what the path really is, what happened, what is the way forward.
I want you to ask yourself whether you need what you used to hold onto, especially beliefs. Like what did people teach you when you were a kid that you just took as gospel. Was it the: âyou must work yourself into the ground to be successfulâ? Was it: âyou canât change path as you get older, if you do youâre a failureâ? Was it: âif you admit youâre wrong, youâre an idiot that should have known betterâ? What is it for you? What would make you feel so free if you could let go of it? You can restart at any time, you are a Sagittarius, you are the eternal student, teacher and philosopher. You donât have to play by the societal standard of linear journey, that doesnât have to be it for you. You might be on a real roundabout journey and thatâs okay. You are moving through the obstacles right now and when these eclipses clear in around 18 months time, youâll have tried so many new things (I hope) and realise how much of life you were missing before. Instead of thinking about how to get yourself moving or overthinking your next step, I want you to just take a step, in literally ANY direction. Take a new course, go to the library and read a random book about no subject youâve ever studied, throw a poem out there on the internet and see if you can travel to a different town or something just for the day to look at some different scenery. Youâll figure out what it is youâre looking for soon enough.
Your chart isnât everyoneâs chart & this will land for all of you differently. Find out how it affects you specifically and get your questions answered here:
Okay, so. Capricorns. I get it, you donât want any help, sure, fine, whatever. But itâs coming to you whether you like it or not and I want you to take it. If you know right now youâre struggling, could be financially or maybe finding collaborations to work with, I want you to reach out to people. I know that your ego might not like it, because it feels foreign or like a failure, but I want you to do it. I want you to let the help into your life. Doing things alone is so admirable, really it is, itâs amazing, I think you guys are the most wonderful beings and sometimes I wish I could have the resilience and the work ethic you do but sometimes it goes too far. Sometimes you really just need support. We arenât supposed to do everything alone. Ask people how they got to the place you want to be, itâs not embarrassing not to be there yet, itâs not shameful to not know which direction to move in. Itâs part of life but without asking for that support, no oneâs going to offer it up on a silver platter for you (if they do thatâs actually crazy and so cool, for some of you they might but yeah). Jupiter is here for you, Jupiter wants you to let the love in, let the generosity in and the south node wants you to get rid of those feelings of not being enough or somehow itâs shameful to need help.
I think I really want you to think both materialistically and psychologically for this eclipse. Like I really want you to understand that help comes in all forms. If you need money, a loan, you need help with a debt or something, ask for that. But thereâs also another side to it, the other side is whether you need support for your mental health. Which AGAIN, there is no shame in needing. Honestly. Promise you. The amount of times Iâve been to therapy would send you into a coma perhaps, but I needed it to be able to survive enough to be here talking to you right now. So ask. Maybe youâre grieving something, a person, relationship or an old way of living thatâs just all consuming for you? It doesnât have to be that you end up in therapy forever, but sometimes you just need that support for a while till you get back on your feet you know? Trust me, itâs worth it. This is about how you deal with feeling vulnerable and what brave steps you take to allow that to be your strength. We all know you can work hard like we get it okay? We see it. What we would love to see is you come to us and say âhey guys, can you just love me for a minute? Can you cuddle me and tell me things are going to be okay? Can I borrow ÂŁ5 to go to therapy tomorrow and pay you back next week?â like thatâs what we want from you. If people can help, they will and there are people who can.
Itâs also a chance to sort out any money you owe or anything youâre in exchange of with others. So what debt or whatever is following you around and bothering you? It might not even be monetary, maybe itâs energetically? But what about it is getting you down or making you tired, this next 18 months will teach you a lot about equal give and take and how you can combat feeling as though youâre going to burn out any second. I want you to know that youâre good enough to collaborate with people, like fuck me Iâve been reading for a million Capricorns recently and I want to collab with ALL of them. Because you guys are amazing. Like really, canât gush about you enough honestly. You are more than good enough to be supported, get the funding, get the loan, the job, the collab, whatever. I know you are. You just have to understand that for yourself. Let go of the ego friends. Let us help you, let us be there for you, LET US COLLAB WITH YOU. Oh my god. Youâre doing us a service by letting us help you for once. We all borrowed your notes in school and you came and helped us with our schedule when we couldnât get the work done, so can you let us borrow some of your time to listen to whatâs going on for you? We want to hear. Speak to us.
