We uh eclipse season twenty twenty-six. Already gone through eclipse season. February 17th to March 3rd. Last time we went on this Universal Studios wild ride. And we came out alive, didn't we? We've got stories to tell, but we're here, we're thriving, we're alive. You know, we uh went to Sandbox VR Center this weekend for our little Leo's birthday party, and we played the Stranger Things Catalyst. It was so much fun. I was reminded that I'm 37 years old because with all of our VR virtual reality um gear on our body, we were punching at the air and we got to pretend like we had superpowers and push our hands in the air to move cars. It was such a blast. I can't recommend checking out Sandbox VR enough. But I am so sore. I have like lost full grip and strength in my right arm because I'm gonna share this with you guys. A lot of you are physicians are very intelligent in science and anatomy and physiology, but I have a pinched C6 nerve in my vertebrae. It was diagnosed on X-ray at a chiropractor, and my fingers go numb every night. I just wake up, shake it out, carry on. Um, I get red light therapy every month to give me some relief, but it's it's so weird how my forearm and my pointer and thumb just go numb. Well, I got a little too into beating the demo dogs yesterday, and I like couldn't even I went to the bathroom after it. I could barely grab toilet paper to go, and I was like, oh shit, I'm getting old. So got a little too into it, forgot how old I am, my little injury, but my grip now is about 50% back, but it's still like dang, man, never had to worry about these things when you were young. Here we are. So if you guys know any treatments for this, I already do like neck restretches because a part of the pinched nerve is I have what's called military neck. So my neck is straight because I've had terrible posture my whole life. So I've been working on posture and reshaping my neck, but gosh, one massage therapist told me I had thoracic outlet syndrome. I'm like, I don't think I have that. Maybe mix a little carpal tunnel there. But uh yeah, if you guys have ever heard of that, hit me up. Let me know whatever you've got. But hi everybody, welcome to another episode of the Astrology Lounge. It's me, your host, your astrologer, your friend, Stephanie Powers, and we are gonna talk about the Leo new moon solar eclipse, August 12th at 20 degrees Leo. You guys know how eclipse wormholes work. We go in with the new moon, we come out with a full moon. So even though we have the eclipse coming up on Wednesday, August 12th, we will wrap it up on Thursday, August 27th with a big Pisces full moon eclipse. You know, just because astrology has these exact dates doesn't mean that that's the exact date that something will happen. Kind of like I use weather, meteorologies. I feel like it's a similar science. We know here in the United States that hurricane season is June 1st to November 1st. And so that is a big window that it's likely something is likely to happen in the tropics or in the Atlantic or the Pacific that gives us a hurricane making landfall here in our country. This is similar. When it comes to eclipse season, we're like, hey, between this date and that day, something might happen. But every now and again it could be something before the date or after the date we say it's over, right? Hurricane season begins June 1st, but have we seen tropical storms in May? Of course. Have we seen hurricanes past November 1st? Oh yeah, I was in one in the Florida Keys around Thanksgiving. Shit was crazy. Like blew open the front door. That was one time. Like I, you guys know me if you know me. I love a good thunderstorm, a good tornado. I think my the only one of the only posts I left up on my Instagram is me as a little girl chasing a thunderstorm. I was like four years old. My mom's following me with the VHS. And she's like, What is that, Steph? I'm like, it's a thunderstorm. I love this stuff. But uh around Thanksgiving in the Florida Keys, I think it was 2021, 2020, uh, there was a badass tropical storm, maybe even like a cat too hurricane. And I remember it flung open our twin doors in the front, and I went to go close them and I couldn't. And I'm pretty jacked and juicy. I'm strong. I'm not the strongest, but I'm I'm pretty tough. I couldn't close the doors. And I was like, oh, this is like the real deal. And I was by myself, so I had to figure it out. Poor Jeffrey. He was my puppy, my pug with me. He's like, Mom, why have you put me through this stuff? I took Jeffrey storm chasing when he was nine weeks old on the beach in Charleston around a water spre a waterspout. He was so little, the wind kept toppling him over, and occasionally he would just roll like a hot dog on a gas station. And I remember thinking, okay, getting a little too ahead of yourself. Let him get some girth before you take him out to tornado stuff. Jeez. Twin Sagittarians just doing our thing, right? Well, I share all of that to tell you. I think that we're gonna feel this eclipse. I think we've already been feeling it, to be honest. With uh my industry, what I do for a living. It's really cool that I get to see kind of the, I get a collective pulse on how things are going. Um, I don't know about you guys, but this is just my pulse that I picked up. Since about August 1st, and then all of last week, so August 2nd through August 8th, people were quiet. Downloads on my show, some of my favorite YouTubers, favorite podcasters were low. They were not as high as they normally are. And so whenever I see that, like, oh, it's not just me. Like my last episode was chart rectification. I understand it's a very specialized subject. I expected it to not get as many downloads, but um, even the episodes before that, like The Astrology of August 2026, a little bit of crickets there. And then I noticed some of my favorite podcasters, they were getting half as many downloads. So I'm like, oh, these are interesting. And so that tells me that collectively, people are like, I need a break. I need a break from the noise. I'm feeling tired. I'm feeling just I just need to tap out for a second. Now, why would that be? Why would we feel the need to take a break? Overstimulated, too much energy affecting me, high energy affecting me. I can't possibly take in any more information because I just need to feel and I just need to be. I think scientifically that that is also what happens to our bodies during during new moons and full moons. Full moons pull the tides, they pull our blood and our hydration, we get dehydrated. How does that make us feel? It's science. Astrology just pulls it in on a more symbolic pattern recognition level. That's all it is. And so to me, I took that interpretation as okay, people are just feeling fatigue already, a little bit of burnout already. It just felt like a weird week last week. And I just thought this is the this is the prelude into the eclipse season. Our bonus boy starts, my bonus boys start school on August, I think on the day of the eclipse. And I just remember thinking, why on earth? What these poor kids forced into the school system on the day of an eclipse. Oh goodness, that's gonna be very interesting. Um, anyways, what could this eclipse mean? What are we walking into? Well, I wanted to kick this off with sharing a story from Astro Butterfly. A lot of you guys started to sign up for their courses, and I don't, I'm not an affiliate for them. I just love them. I think they are absolutely it's a team of incredible people, and I love the way they interpret astrology. I think they have such a gift. Uh, they, where is it? It was one on it was on one of their newsletters, which I highly suggest you guys sign up for. They're so cool. But you know what? I'm not gonna read it because I want you guys to sign up, of course, and check out their stuff. But they shared a story about eclipses that historically people were afraid of eclipses. Why would you not be? You live and die by the sun and the moon. Like you literally farm the food that keeps you alive by the sun and the moon. We have an amazing listener from um the farmland area in the United States, and she found an old calendar in her local feed store that said, the moons in Pisces today harvest this, the moons in Aries today fertilize the soil with this. It's it's science. And so this is why I don't get offended by people who say, Well, you believe in that, woo-woo. I'm like, oh, you poor thing, if you only knew. Um, it's real, it's very much a real science. But with that said, historically, people were afraid of eclipses. And ancient days, people associated an eclipse with the killing of a king, a king of the whole village dying. And so they did what they thought was best, and they would try and manipulate fate, manipulate destiny. And so they would offer a fake king to the eclipse. Like, let's just pull someone off the streets, a peasant, if you will, dress him up as a king, and so that when the eclipse comes, it takes him and not our real king. I was like, wow, I did not know that people did that historically. Astro Butterfly shared that. That was really cool. And so they shared that as a way to kind of drive home the point of eclipses are very faded events. It's kind of a, you know, a new moon is normally where we would associate planting seeds of intention, right? New things, dream boards, if you will. But eclipses are just gonna eclipses are gonna eclipse. And there's really not much we can do about it, right? Um, life is always going to life, no matter if there's an eclipse portal or not. I want to preface this with that. But eclipses tend to just be this time where we have to recognize that we are at the mercy of something bigger than us. Some people would say God, some people would say the cosmos, stars, spirit, source. Some people would just say nature. I think in my own Sagittarius studying of religions and culture, I love them all. I think they're really cool. I love pulling things that I like out of every type of religion and spiritual practice. I like to make it my own and individuate it. But uh I don't think I could ever commit to one because I just don't think that one, only one is right. You know, there's just too many different types of religions and spiritual practices out there that are so different, yet those people so deeply believe in it and trust it. I'm just a chameleon with it, a spiritual religious orphan, if you will, that just likes to window shop and soak up what feels good. But one thing that feels good to me, and I think this is why I find my home in astrology, is nature. I tell people, and I mean it, my church is right in front of me, and those oaks and those Texas live oaks, in front of the snow on the grass flowers in front of me, in front of this beautiful blooming vitex bush in front of me. This is God. This is my sermon, this is my pastor. The hummingbirds are my my choir. It's just to me, church is right in front of me. I can walk outside and go. Oh my gosh, I take myself to church when I lay outside with my family and look up at the sky and watch a meteor shower. Oh my God, who needs drugs? That's incredible. I remember when I lived in the Florida Keys. I think a part of why, even though I lived in such rugged conditions, I would wake up at 4:30 in the morning, dark outside, hop in the Subaru with Jeff, drive down the road, get access to a private beach, and I'd networked my way into from one of the wealthy people there. And I would just go watch the sun come up over that glassy Caribbean water, and it was just like the best way to start my day. I miss it all the time. Oh, sunset, sunrises. Church to me. That that's one thing I'll always remain like faithful and loyal to as my my God. So, with all that said, I think eclipses are a time to surrender to whatever power you believe in, right? And I always draw attention back to primal days before we have the luxury of understanding our personalities, right? Back then it was very primal. Survive, period. Do not die, period. Don't worry about what your moon's in and how you emotionally react to things, just survive. Uh, when they looked at eclipses, when they were working and harvesting and planting and hunting and gathering during the day, imagine the sun disappears and it gets dark. That's scary. Even when I've experienced totality in the middle of the day, boy, I'll never forget the totality I experienced in Charleston in 2017, I think it was. I'm like, wow, this is either my brain creating this, which I've been known to do, or whoa do I feel this. And it was scary. Even we when we experienced it here in Texas in 2024, it's just so weird to be sitting outside in a lawn chair at 2 p.m. expecting full high noon sun, and it looks like it's 7 p.m. Oh, it's just such a mind trip. It's like wearing VR headset, it's wild. And so luckily I have the all-knowing, like, oh, this was planned. The internet told me the exact day and time and minute this would happen. So I was prepared. But I have always I go in my mind and say, what if I was just outside doing my routine, helping the village I was a part of survive, and all of a sudden it got dark without clouds being in the sky. I would run, I would hide, I would think that I was about to die. Oh we were losing gravity and the earth was just about to freefall. I don't know where my brain would go. But over time, as I started to notice that they happened frequently, I would definitely associate it with a dragon, like some people associate the north and south node eclipses with, or some demon, or the devil, or just something scary, right? Or eventually, after experiencing so many and realizing I typically survived them, I would just associate it with a very high power in the sky that I am supposed to take heed of. And well, when it gets dark or when the moon or the sun disappears, that's typically a time to pause. And there's nothing you can do but pause and reflect, or just pause and observe. So just go into this eclipse window knowing that. Pause, observe, and then react. The only thing you are in control of, honestly, in all facets of life, no matter what's happening in the sky, is how you react to things. I've got my fears. By the way, my cavity feeling went amazing. Thank you guys. I got so many emails and uh words of encouragement from you guys. That made me feel so loved. Thank you. You can hear my smile. It went swimmingly. Shout out to Dr. Estrada at Wimberley Valley Dental. He was amazing, didn't feel my shot, filled my tooth, and literally like homeboy has to be a Virgo because he was so good. He went in there. I think my feeling was done in like a hundred seconds. It was incredible. It was really, it couldn't have gone better. So uh that was really cool. But surrender. I went into that saying, I can't control what happens to my tooth, I can just control how I react. That's it. That's the mentality we want to take into eclipse season, right? And now we layer on the astrology, bringing in the Leo side to it. So I've got tons of notes here. Let's get into it. The same day of the eclipse, August 12th, we have Mars, Sextile Chiron, and Mercury, Sextile Uranus. Let's break this down. Mars, planet of drive, taking action. A sextile is an opportunity presenting itself that you choose to take or ignore. Chiron, the wounded healer, who is currently retrograde at the zero anoreetic degree of Taurus. Zero anoretic, that just means important, powerful, big deal. So Mars, drive, opportunity, Chiron, wounded healer. My wound becomes the place where the light comes in, says Rumi, says Chiron as well, that I go on to teach and find purpose through. Taking action on something you thought was just going to be a wound you carry around your whole life is a part of this eclipse story. Mercury, Sextile Uranus. Mercury, the way I think and speak, sextile, again, an opportunity you can choose to take. Uranus thinking outside the box, innovating, rebelling, doing something different. My mind gets an opportunity to think about something differently. Okay? So we have those two things happening on the same day as the eclipse: an opportunity to act differently from a wound, and an opportunity to think differently about something weird or different. Okay. So we are in the eclipse wormhole. Now through August 27th, down the rabbit hole we go. I'm very happy to be in it with you guys. We got this. You may feel this eclipse the most if you have anything around the 20th degree of Taurus, Scorpio, of course, Leo, and Aquarius. Guys, I'm I'm honestly a little sweaty here because I have a 20-degree Taurus rising, a 20-degree Scorpio descendant, DC, and my moon and Venus are at 16 degrees Scorpio. So this eclipse, I don't know, I don't have anything at 20 degrees Leo, but uh, it's in my fourth house. So we will see. Feel free. Here, there's my chart. I just laid it out for you. Feel free to send me your interpretation so we can practice. I'd love to know what you think. So the way I look at this eclipse, I wrote it down, I like drew a little picture. We are going into the wormhole through fixed fire. So we're going into it with our arms crossed, saying, Bring it on. This is who I am, this is what I love. Eclipses can't do nothing to me. But we're coming out of Pisces, mutable water. So we're going into a tunnel with fixed, strong fire, but we're coming out of it flowing, water, cooled down. How would you interpret that? It's like we're going in loud, proud, maybe burnt out, and we're coming out of it softer, more flexible, more mutable, more trusting in God. God, however, you interpret that word. I thought that was an interesting way to look at it. So it is a new moon eclipse. The sun is external, the moon is internal. The sun is our outer feelings, outer personality, our ego. We can see it. Our moon is our inner world, it is our soul. Remember, everybody knows your sun sign. You all know I'm a Sagittarius. I'm loud, I'm proud, I laugh at myself in the podcast. I get on this microphone, share my beliefs and my stories. But not all of you can see my Scorpio moon. If you book a reading with me, you definitely do, because all of you say, wow, I didn't realize this was a therapy session. Okay. So many people have said that, and I wasn't sure if it was a compliment or not, that I had to add a disclaimer when you book a reading, you will see what you're getting into with my Scorpio moon. I'm gonna ask you about the dark taboo thing. So you just come prepared, okay? If you don't like to be very open, I don't know if I'm the girl for you. I want to know the secrets, the juice, the dark stuff. I want to help you squeeze it out, alchemize it into pow wow, turn it into a badass tattoo and say, Yep, I went through that. Let's do it. That's what I want to give you guys when you come see me. So, how do I describe a new moon solar eclipse? The moon shows up when she's not supposed to. The moon is showing up when she's supposed to be invisible. Again, if we are tracking the moon cycles because we live and die by them primally, right? Go there in your mind with me. What do we do when the moon shows up in the sky when she's not supposed to be? We might look at that and think it's an alien spaceship coming for us. We might look at that and go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, the sky is supposed to be dark. What is this? Think someone, think about someone finding your diary and reading it and coming up to you and going, I didn't know you felt this way. And you're like, you're not supposed to see that. How did you find my diary? Why did you read my diary? Those are my private feelings. And they're like, Well, I'm telling everyone that this is how you feel, and you're like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And what if that embarrassment or that scary feeling actually leads to a conversation that you've been needing to have for years so you can get something off of your chest and it's uncomfortable and kind of embarrassing, but ultimately it heals you and frees you from a self imposed prison of a thought or a feeling you had that wasn't actually as true as you thought it was. That is kind of the energy of a new moon solar eclipse. Something previously hidden, tucked away, becomes known. To get you to let go of, because remember, this is a South Known eclipse, to let go of something. Something or make space for something new. Okay? So I'm not saying people are gonna steal your phone, but I would put a passcode on it. Can you guys believe? Literally up until about a year or two ago, I never had a passcode or anything on my phone. I still don't like it. It took me so long to do the face ID. And then I get really offended in the morning when I try and open my phone with my face and it doesn't recognize me because I haven't put my eye patches on yet. My face is so puffy. Do you guys ever get offended? Or maybe it's just me. Maybe you guys are like, nope, my phone always recognizes me. I don't look like a total gargoyle when I wake up. I don't do uh I have my little nighttime skincare self-care routine, but like, and this is no offense to the people who do it. I kind of wish I could. I'm just too lazy. But uh, the people who put on like mouth tape, the peeling thing on your face, which I've done. It's amazing. My skin did look great. But uh this so many things. But fudge sickle, I'm about to have to do that with my nerves. I've been told I need to wear a wrist brace before I go to bed. I'm like, what? So I do my LED mask. Now I have this special um toothpaste that you guys and my hygienist recommended that I coat on my teeth and leave it on to remineralize and not get any more cavities. And so I've just got like all these things that I'm doing to myself. I'm like, all this stuff just to go to bed. On our way to the VR set yesterday, uh little Leo birthday boy fell asleep and he just looked in the back seat like full body relaxation, deep slumber. And I took a picture of him and I showed Jay. I was like, Don't you miss the days where sleep found you? You didn't have to do all this stuff to go prepare to just relax. Oh my gosh, not even me, but the pugs, especially little Jeffrey here. He's having GI issues. Oh my gosh, the acid reflux, but also bile because of the anatomy of a pug. It has just been a true, like, I feel like I'm almost graduating that school over here, trying to get sleep. Because he wakes us up routinely between 2 and 6 a.m. because of acid reflux and bile stuff. It's exhausting. Oh, to be young again, to be young again. But this is kind of that self-note eclipse energy. We're letting go of something to make space for something else. We are warriors. So let's let's use astronomy. Let's talk about a new moon astronomically. It happens when the moon moves between the earth, where we are, where we live, and the sun, our core identity, right? So from Earth where we sit, the illuminated side of the moon is facing away from us. So the moon appears dark. So of course, when new moons happen, they represent beginning, starting a new cycle. A lot of women start their period on new moons and ovulate on full moons, or vice versa. So think it's like a blank page. So what makes it a solar eclipse then, if it's a new moon? Every new moon does not create an eclipse because the moon's orbit is tilted relative to Earth's orbit around the sun. So most months the moon passes a little above or below the sun from our perspective here on Earth. But when a new moon happens close enough to one of those lunar nodes, and remember, a lunar node is not a placement, it's a mathematical point where the moon's orbit path crosses the sun's path. Remember the um the two hula hoops analogy we used last episode. When a new moon happens close enough to one of those hula hoop connections, we get a solar or lunar eclipse. And this one just happens to be a total solar eclipse. Now, solar, external, outer sunshine, sun rays pouring onto the earth, reaching out, external. We typically associate solar eclipses with external events happening, changing. Lunar eclipse, which is what the full moon in Pisces coming up in late August will be, is usually, usually more internal stuff, quiet stuff, inside stuff, the moon. So astronomically speaking, moon and sun and earth line up, the moon blocks the sun, and we get that solar eclipse. Now let's translate that equation into the um the symbolism of astrology. Moon, sun, and earth line up. My emotions, my identity, and where I'm at are lined up. But moon blocks sun. My emotions are blocking my vitality. There's an eclipse. A new moon eclipse is a new moon with a volume turned all the way up. You are recognizing where you are in your own way or where something has been in your way of your vitality, of your essence, of your personality. So there's still beginnings, but they're often beginnings tied to larger turning points, endings, revelations, redirections, or just events that seem to move faster than our conscious 3D human plans have. Think someone who is working at a corporate job, they cannot stand for a multitude of reasons, but they also cannot quit because they're a Taurus, or whatever the reason may be. But then they get laid off. They get called into a meeting with all their coworkers, and the announcement is made sorry, we are laying off this entire department. The people around you grieve, some cry, some get angry, but inside you are like, yes. Okay, I'm I'm scared because I don't know where I'm gonna go, but thank God someone had to do this for me. I've known some people who are in relationships that they cannot stand, that they hope their partner will cheat or do something bad, or I don't know, just do something that they're like, aha, there's a reason. I'm leaving you. Perfect. Hey, no, you cheated on me. It's fine, I don't care. I'm out, it's all good. And they're like, Aren't you mad? And you're like, Yeah, so mad. Anyways, we're breaking up, so I gotta go. It's like they were they wanted to leave the relationship, they just didn't know how on their own. Even despite all the inner feelings, signs, vibes, something comes along, changes. Hey, we've been married for seven years, but uh, I just got a job and I have to be overseas for six months. Go take it. It's fine, but you know what? I don't know if I can do long distance, so I think we're gonna break. It's like, well, what you didn't just tell me. Eclipses kind of come through and say, hey, we got you. Don't worry about it. Well, we'll do, we'll take your trash out for you, but you better follow along when we do. So now let's put the eclipse in Leo. Leo season, the constellation that is ruled by the sun, making this even more impactful. Very interesting symbolically, if you will. But you guys know we've talked about Leo a lot. Leo represents identity, creativity, confidence, visibility, leadership. It represents fertility, children, teenager, performance, romance, dating, the heart, pride, recognition. Wherever Leo sits in your chart is where you really want recognition, where your heart lives, and you really want this area of life to feel fun. Leo rules my fourth house. I want my home to be so fun, inviting. I want every day to be a scavenger hunt and every night to be eating s'mores around the fire pit, and I want music, and I just home should always be fun to my Leo rules. Fourth house. Uh, for cancer visings, just because I know these ones well. Leo rules your second house. You want to have fun and have pride in your work. It's very important that you monetize your natural talents. So Leo asks, who am I when I'm brave enough to be completely myself? Um, Healthy Leo says, I don't need permission to shine. I am incredible. Unhealthy Leo says, I'm too scared to show up. I'm too scared to sing on stage. Please clap for me. Can someone please approve of me so I can feel better to be myself? Can someone please leave my job for me? I don't have the courage enough to know that if I leave I can get a new job somewhere. I don't have the the courage to leave a relationship because I want them to always like me and their friends and their parents and their siblings, and if I leave, they're all gonna hate me, and I just I want everyone to like me. Right? This is a south node eclipse. The north and south nodes aren't planets. I want to consistently remind you of that. They are two points. So the north node point is development, stretching you that way, unfamiliar territory where we're being pulled. The south node is familiarity, old patterns, what we've already mastered, but also what we're outgrowing and may need to release or express differently. I I don't want to be too dramatic and pull you away from your south node completely because it's a natural talent that you're born with. Think about being born in a super small town and you have these dreams of moving into the city, going to New York or LA, you do that. You go to New York or LA and you realize, oh my gosh, this is so different than where I come from. If you bring your hometown roots and grounding energy into the big city, you can really create an aim for yourself doing that. But if you leave behind one or the other, if you want to go to the big city, but your hometown roots are like that ain't what we do around here, you ain't going nowhere. That's too much in your south note. If you leave your south note and act like it never existed and go to that big city and get caught up in that urban way of life, you can really get lost. That's kind of the north and the south node. We got to bring a balance to them. So I want to reiterate during this that the south note is not a bad thing. This is not me saying Leo is bad now. Get rid of Leo, let go of Leo. Absolutely not. We're being asked to clean out the junk drawer of Leo. That's it. We want our Leo junk drawer because when we want to have a good time at home, we're going to the Leo drawer to find some fun stuff. We want to keep the confidence, creativity, the heart, the pride. And we want to release the ego, performative behavior, the drama, needing everyone else to validate what's fun for us. Now we put the whole thing together. A Leo, South Node, new moon, solar eclipse, can symbolize a powerful new chapter that actually requires an old version of ourselves to end first. And that's the weird paradox of this eclipse is it's a new moon, so it's a beginning, but it's a south node release. So under this eclipse, the beginning you've been craving may come through the ending of something you're not ready to let go of, but you know you need to. You stop performing, something authentic begins. You stop chasing applause, you discover what you actually enjoy. You stop maintaining an identity because everyone loved you that way, and you become who you actually are, and you meet the person underneath of it. I always say with podcasting, there's a lot of you guys that want to start podcasting, you're like, I am so afraid of what people will say, what my family will say, uh, getting canceled. So many of you are like, man, if I went on your podcast, I would get canceled the first five minutes of my episode. And I say, Well, you know you're gonna get canceled no matter what, no matter what you do, especially today. I was thinking of writing a sub stack about that, how literally you will be canceled and accused of things no matter. Tell me one thing, name one thing that you think you won't get canceled over, I will challenge you and tell you how you will. It's true and it sucks, but it is also so extremely liberating because when you let go of the side of you that thinks you'll get canceled and get picked on and thrown tomatoes at, and you realize I don't give a F because I think I'm onto something here. You let go, self-node release, of an old side, and you step into the light and you realize, oh shit, there are way more people who love this and enjoy this and celebrate this than people that I told myself would cancel me or start drama over me. And I don't care. If I'm gonna get canceled either way, it better be doing something I love. Mmm, that is this eclipse. You stop needing to be chosen and you start choosing yourself, right? Now, just we can't teach the Leo South node without a little bit of the Aquarius North Node that is opposite it. Because the north node in Aquarius is where we'll talk about next year when we have those eclipses, but where it's asking us to go. We had a north node eclipse February 17th. So around that day, you were being pushed, stretching into the big city, the unknown. But now we're gonna, okay, if you didn't reach it back then or didn't take any steps to, under this eclipse, you need to take the steps too. Leo South Node, look at me, approve me, love me. Aquarius north node, whatever. Can we build something together? Right? But again, we're not abandoning Leo. Aquarius without Leo can become detached and personal. So the lesson is we need to all feel confident in what our heart is calling us to do because right now that calling more than likely has something to do with this huge collective wave of we need to come together. We need to get rid of sides, siding on things, we need to get rid and dissolve division because we need each other and human connection and reciprocal energy more than ever. The Leo South note is kind of nature's way of cleaning out the old egotistical, my identity is attached to this. And so if you vote for that person, then we can't be friends or talk ever again. This is like, okay, you can have your cake and eat it too. You can have your identity attached to something, but not push away everyone that doesn't 100% agree or honor that. There can be differences. There are lots of people in my circle that think astrology is woo-woo or just think it's yeah, okay. I do not take offense to that, not one bit. I just say totally goal. Like, what do you believe in? I'd love to hear your thoughts on things. I'm curious. I stay curious. I don't attach my identity into being an astrologer, is probably number one. It's just something I do for fun. And as a bonus, it helps so many people. I never, never would have thought I'd have this reach at all. I just, my heart lit up as soon as I had Deborah Silverman and Dr. Linux, uh, some other amazing astrologers on the show. I would talk to them for hours after recording. I'm like, okay, some when I my manifestor, that's right, I'm a manifestor, an HD baby. When I find something, when I love it, I'm obsessed. There's my Scorpio, moon, and Venus coming out. Obsessed. Stay up 72 hours in a row researching it. That's when I know. And I've found it so apparent as I get older that if I I can't force myself to be interested in something. I almost feel like I've gotten so obsessed with this subject and a few other things that when it comes to very basic things, I'm just whoop, not all there. Clutz, ditz, can't can't do it. I'm like, I swear I'm smart. I just can't. If I don't have an interest in it, I can't do it. Maybe that's my Leo soapnote eclipse. Let go of your strong Scorpio obsessions. But this eclipse, okay, is asking us to take our Leo gifts with us, our creativity, personality, our heart. But stop needing to be the center of everything. Use what makes you special to contribute to something bigger than yourself. Does this make sense? This eclipse is asking us to release the version of ourselves, especially in that Leo-ruled house, that we've been performing so that we can become the version of ourselves we're actually meant to be. Another way that this could go is look at the house rule by Leo in your chart and see where you haven't been brave. Hmm, Leo rules my fourth house. Have I been brave enough to own my emotional state, to take a look at my emotional state, to do something brave in regards to family, have a conversation with a family member, have a conversation with my partner about what family means to me, growing a family means to me. Those are some stuff I can ask myself with Leo ruling my fourth house. As I discover things, I will use this eclipse to say, okay, yeah, that that is one thing. Let me release that. That's not helping me be the queen, the lioness of my home. I need to let that go. So this new moon eclipse in Leo is less about what should I manifest? And it's more about what is life showing me that I am ready to outgrow. And I want to remind you guys under an eclipse, you don't have to do anything. You can do something if your heart calls you to do it, but eclipses are fantastic for just, like I said, observing. Just watch what comes up, watch what leaves, watch what suddenly becomes impossible to ignore. Okay, now there's some stuff happening, some aspects. How is the rest of the sky playing with this Leo eclipse? Mr. Big, Mr. Jupiter. He's not fully conjunct, sitting right on top of. I think he's got like a nine or 10 degree orb. That's a little too wide for my liking, but I thought I'd bring him up here in my notes just because it's close enough to feel his fire. So Jupiter expands whatever it touches. That just says whatever comes up, whatever themes around Leo, release, let go, romance, fertility, creativity come up. Jupiter might exaggerate it. Something in the Leo part of our lives has gotten big enough that we can finally see it clearly and decide what deserves to grow with us and what we've outgrown. So Jupiter is just here to magnify the release of outdated Leo patterns, ego, pride, attention seeking. I imagine a lot of people under this may apologize for being self-centered in the past. You know, people get so afraid to apologize for being selfish or self-centered, or like, yeah, I was really thinking of just myself then. I'm sorry. Like, like it's a bad thing to do. Like we don't all do it as humans, right? But we'll never apologize for not choosing ourselves. It's like we've created, especially with women, we've created this environment where completely losing yourself and caretaking others is noble and respected. And if you choose yourselves, you're immediately like shunned for it. How dare you, selfish, especially women, right? You know what I mean? Mentu. But Jupiter will expand. He will touch and blow up and overall help you see the bigger picture of what everything is doing under this eclipse. Now, hindsight is 2020 with Jupiter. Jupiter will be going through the Leo area of our chart, really saying that I know if releasing something here hurts, trust me, I'm going to immediately fill it with something big, fun, exciting, loud, proud. It's a very lucky one. We're very lucky to have these eclipses with Jupiter next door. Like leaping the nettle pier, I promise. Look how big my net is. I gotcha. Can't miss it. I like it. So with the South Note is saying, we're releasing old patterns. Jupiter is saying, perfect. And here's your rewards of expansion, a different mindset, abundance, especially if he's in a cardinal house. House number one, four, seven, or ten could be something literal. Sometimes with Jupiter sitting here, sometimes we don't release something because it failed or died. Sometimes we release it because we've gotten everything we were supposed to get from it. That's what I think of when I think of Jupiter sitting here, hanging out with this eclipse. Again, I'll go back to like the job and the relationship analogy. Have you guys ever been in a relationship, be it romantic or platonic, where you were like, I'm staying in this connection because I've known them for so long. We've been dating since high school. She's been my best friend since we were in third grade. But deep down, there's very obvious patterns, feelings, body sensations telling you that I don't really care to be around this person anymore. I don't feel the spark, and I've tried to get it back, understanding that relationships are peaks and valleys. It's just not coming back. I like to say the soul contract is up. The soul contract is up, but the brain just hasn't caught up. The brain just hasn't said, Well, yeah, woo-woo, soul contract, get your crystals right. No, I think that's real. I, you know, endings are hard. Ask me how I know with my Scorpio moon. I hate them. I don't like them. To me, in my brain, everyone who comes into your life should be forever. But yes, my Scorpio moon has been slapped and gotten to realize nope. That is not the case. Not everybody gets matching tattoos with you, Steph. Um, and it's hard. It's really hard to accept and understand that unfortunately you either grow together or you grow apart. And it's to me, it's one of the cruelest human experiences to be so in love with someone romantically or be so connected to a friend, but they just won't choose to grow up. They won't choose to release things and move forward. They won't do the work to meet you and grow with you. And you're growing, growing, growing, growing, growing, and they're just sitting on the ground, like, what are you? Hello? And you're just disconnecting more and more and more as you keep growing. And it's like, please, everybody can do this. I am not special. You just have to put your attention over here and yeah, look in the mirror sometimes, but it's really refreshing when you can do this work, but they won't. And it's like you have to sit on your hands and watch someone you love just drive so fast into a brick wall. And there's nothing you can do about it. You know what to do about it. You want to throw out a speed bump and stop them, but you can't because you're absorbing their consequences, which is the thing that helps them grow. I feel like that is this South Node release. We're releasing things because you've gotten everything you're supposed to get from it. You've learned the Jupiter lesson. It's time to grow from it now. You know, you don't need another conversation. It's time to go. A career could have been wildly successful, but you're outgrown it. You're done. You're like, I just my heart doesn't rate. I don't want to go. Every Sunday I get the scaries. I don't want to go. You maybe a creative project is done under this, and you're like, you know what? That wasn't as fun, that wasn't as fun as I thought it was. I think I might turn this creative project into just a hobby instead of a job. You could finally receive the recognition you spent years waiting for and suddenly realize it doesn't do anything for you. It doesn't heal anything. Right? I think a lot of us are going to realize we're ready for the next version of ourselves. We're tired of playing small. So what I would say with this South Node eclipse is not necessarily that something is being taken away, but this chapter has become full. And you're ready for the next version of your Leo story. Simply put, with the new moon, the South Node, Jupiter sitting here, and in a second I'll tell you about Saturn sitting here as well. We are releasing the identity we've outgrown because there's a much bigger expression of who you're becoming that's waiting for a seat at the table. You guys, you guys love the analogy. I use sitting at a table. Let's picture what does your table look like? Is it round? Is it square? Is it rectangle? Picture X amount of seats. And mine, it's like a long rectangle, and there's six seats. Maybe there's like six seats on the side and then two at the head of the table. So there's eight. Well, if those seats are taken by old identities, old belief systems, old versions of me, how on earth are these new versions of myself that I dream of having? How are they gonna sit down? They keep walking by my table. They're right there. I see them, but there's nowhere to sit. There's nowhere to sit. Southnote eclipses say someone's got to be removed from the dinner table because this new person, they're gonna leave. They're gonna get it, they're gonna take their tray of food and they're gonna walk out of your house, and you're gonna miss your chance. Get someone off of the table. Clear a seat. With Jupiter sitting here, we may realize this eclipse has much larger potential than you initially realize, right? So let's talk about Saturn, okay? So Saturn is currently in Aries, forming what's called a trine, 120 degrees, two of the same element. So we've talking about Leo, fire sign, and Saturn, discipline, karma, hard work, is currently in Aries, another fire sign. So they are forming a trine, which is usually a long blue line in the birth chart. It is a line of support. The sextile opportunity, the blue line trine is support, a pillar to lift up the foundation of change here. So Saturn and Aries trining, supporting this eclipse work. Saturn represents structure, commitment, responsibility, saying, I have to go to the dentist, and now, oh, I found out I have a cavity. I'm gonna show up, pull up, and I get it done, and I'm so healthy and I learn so much and I'm strong. That is Saturn. And Aries, independence, courage, action, identity, being a warrior, going first. This eclipse is saying, I am so ready to become a new version of myself. Now, Saturn supporting this is saying, Yep, you are. I can see it, I can feel it. What are you going to do differently? You have to show up and do things differently. Because we're building something big here, but it's not gonna happen if you keep doing the same thing you've always been doing. So on this day with Saturn trying to Jupiter trying to the eclipse, this is just giving us the discipline and the courage to turn the new identity into an actual life. This is like having our personal trainer like, yeah, you're going. Come on, let's go, or like your parent walking you into something you're scared of, or like you're getting on stage, right? To perform and sing and play guitar in front of people, and you're lucky you have a really good parent, and you see them sitting in the crowd, and you're like, All right, my parents got my back. I can do this. I have to show up though. They're not gonna play the guitar for me. I have to show up and do it, but I feel very supported by the tough things I have to do now. That's the energy of this eclipse. And the other way I would describe it is Saturn stands the test of time. Saturn gives staying power to any changes or something happening during this eclipse. So, collectively, really quick, like big picture here, removing us as individuals, if there's any changes, which it's highly likely something goes down collectively during this time frame, with the Saturn trine, it's likely to be a new way of life for a very long time. So, this eclipse, it's not asking us to burn down our old identity, completely shed everything people know us as. Saturn and Aries says, no, you're releasing an old behavior, an old version of yourself, not your entire identity, but a little piece of it, because we need to build a braver, more authentic Aries type one. Now it's very interesting. The last thing I'll throw into this is August 11th, Mars moves into cancer, and so it'll be at zero degrees cancer on the day of this, which is again one of those critical degrees. We're ready to fight Mars for our emotions, cancer, for our family. We are ready to Mars move past, get over our past, past emotions, past family, inherited patterns, cancer. It's very interesting. So it's not making an exact aspect of this eclipse, but it's close enough to bring into the equation. So I want to wrap this up and give you some rapid-fire horoscopes, just quick one-liners down the rising signs. Remember, always listen to your rising sign if you know it first, but listen to your sun sign if that resonates as well, and your moon sign. And also listen to the sign of people around you. Always remind you of that because I believe astrology should be used to understand not only ourselves, but those around us to bring more peace, understanding, and cohesiveness to all of our connections. So listen to it to understand what someone around you may be going through to give them grace or to support them or not pull them out of their flow because you think this is what they should be doing. Speaking of growing together or growing apart, maybe you're in a season of deep growth and they're going down with their roots, right? Maybe you're in a season of flowers, but they're in a season of establishing roots. This is why I highly suggest studying the astrology charts of people around you. But uh the last thing I'll say before I get into those with this Leo South Note Eclipse is you are braver than you think. You can endure an warrior charge lion lioness through more than you think. You can do hard things. You deserve to shine, you deserve to feel excited at least once a day. You deserve to laugh, you deserve to play, you deserve to do things that you loved to do as a child and as a teenager. I felt this so much when we were playing VR. It was such a fun family thing to do. Core memory totally made. And it was just like, why don't we do this more often? Like, we really need to incorporate this. I want to let go of the part of me that says it's too expensive, we gotta work, we gotta dip, di-da. I want to let go of that because there's my Leo Fourth House. The family deserves to do more fun outings like this. You deserve that too. We all do, because life sucks, man. It's it's freaking hard. There's so much drama. There's always gonna be, you know, that's another thing about getting canceled. I always laugh at people who uh I'm I'm making fun of you guys, I'm laughing at you. I don't mean it like that. Um I giggle at people who are so afraid to shine their light, their unique creativity because they're worried about getting canceled or people being mean or bullying them. Because humans are like goldfish, okay? And we're getting worse with our attention span. You might be the hot topic that everyone's talking shit about for a day, and then it'll wane, it'll wane and wax and wane, and then something else, someone else has drama. Someone else's relationship, he's cheating on her, and you'll be old news. Sorry, you'll be boring, you'll be old news, no one will talk about you anymore. So drama is like a fire or like a wave. It comes in, and oh my god, my house is on fire, and everybody's talking shit about me, and this is so hard, and uh. And then a few days later, someone has a medical emergency, someone's husband cheated on the wife, someone's going through a custody battle. Some di humans are messy little creatures. Someone also become the Leo topic of the day, the famous person in the mouths of the small town, and you'll be old news, and no one will care. And so do what you want to do. Choose what your heart wants you to do. Because life is really tough. And that's one thing I've discovered is it doesn't get easier. I thought it did, darn you adults telling me it would. Nope, it doesn't. I'd sure appreciate the freedom of being an adult, but holy cow, it gets heavier, but let's swing from the cynicalness into optimism here. If you have, if you continuously focus on what your heart enjoys, as an adult, it feels way different. It feels richer, it feels deeper. I'll use my virtual reality example. I would always do stuff like that, like go play laser tag or glow in the dark mini golf. I was always into that stuff growing up. I would go as a teenager and in my 20s, I would always go with friends from college or university, whatever, just whatever. And it was fun, definitely a really good time, but there was something so different about going with Mr. Virgo and the boys, so much more rewarding, just full body happiness that I could have never had. It was like being young and doing those things with half my body was like, cool, that was fun. What's next? But this moment was like, oh my gosh, I took pictures and we're gonna print those and just enjoy them and think about them for years to come. It's a different type. And we don't, you know, I'll be honest with you. We are such in a busy season of life. It's tough, it's very tough. I I always try, you guys think I have this like perfect relationship, and it's wonderful, but it is earned, not given. We twin Scorpio moons have put in so much work to get to where we are emotionally, psychologically, as twin moons do, but we don't take enough breaks. We are working ourselves to the bone to just like get to the next step. And I've brought up to Mr. Virgo frequently like, hey, we we need to stop and remember who we are, that we're friends, that we like hanging out with each other, instead of just dishes, laundry, money, dishes, laundry, money, groceries, kids, dogs, vet, dentist. Ah, we're we're getting too caught up in the building phase of so many things that we need to stop and take breaks and go play virtual reality more often. And so I think that's a part of my eclipse story, too. Um and for everyone, make sure you have fun. Just make sure you have fun. Make sure, even if you're in a season of life that is not fun, that you take little breaks, sneak away to go do so so that you can remember that life is not again, life is not meant to be survived. You're meant to enjoy it sometimes. Let's do these rapid fire horoscopes. I'm gonna go through the 12 zodiac signs and tell you what area of life this South Note eclipse might be asking you to let go of. Let's do them quick. I'm gonna try and make them less than 20 seconds each, Aries risings. This is your fifth house. This is the Leo house. This is a pretty personal eclipse for you guys. Release the need for applause, release the need for approval, release the need to find your romantic knight in shining armor or your princess, and rediscover what genuinely brings you joy, creativity, romance, play, fun. Some of you could have something to do with children. Maybe you've got a kiddo growing up or a kiddo moving back in or moving out, or maybe you're getting pregnant, or releasing the idea that something needs to be a certain way to get pregnant, or that pregnancy, you know, some of you could be realizing, like, oh, trying to conceive is not fun. We need to just go have fun and make sex and romance and intimacy more enjoyable again. That's one way. If you guys have been working on a creative project, release the side of you that's like, this isn't fun anymore. But overall, Aries Risings, you guys are in this era where you're you're you're in a sunrise era, I call it, where you're learning everything I just said, which is life should be enjoyed. You guys need to go find more pockets of fun. Taurus Risings, this is our fourth house, is our emotional body, our home, our literal home where we live, but our family. Whew, we are doing some serious inner excavation, Taurus Risings. An old version of us, or an old version of home, of family or belonging is ready to be released because we are creating a life that feels like home, both within our emotional bodies, but also in our external world. So a lot of us are building homes, selling homes, moving into new ones, moving in with family, moving out from family. A lot of us could be starting a family, growing a family, adopting, achieving pregnancy through IUI, IVF, or starting to conceive, meaning removing birth control. This is fourth house eclipses as well. So that's pretty fun, Taurus Risings. We've been through a lot through us in our first house. These eclipses are asking us to shed the drama and drama since 2018 that has shaken us into being fearful around. Nothing stays, especially not home. Not this time. Use this eclipse, guys, to release any fear around. What if my home gets taken away? What if this doesn't work? Let it go. We're we are entering our Taurus era, okay? Gemini Risings. This is your third house of communication, the mind, siblings. Let go of an outdated story, guys. Release a mindset or a way of communicating so you can finally say what you actually mean. You guys are in your I am done people pleasing era. And this is gonna freak a lot of people out because you guys kind of give off. If you're a Gemini rising, you give off the vibe of I love everybody. Everyone's my homeboy, my homegirl. And so when you start saying, No, I'm actually not responding to you. Or this is actually my truth. This is how I feel. This is who I really am. People might freak out, but you guys are over it. And with this eclipse, you're like, yep, I am saying what I mean and meaning what I say. Cancer risings, this is your second house of earned income. The most obvious way this could manifest is you let go of a job. You quit, you get laid off. That example I was using. This could be you guys. You're releasing old definitions of worth, self-worth, too. And so if this isn't money or work, this is you saying, I am done staying in relationships, jobs, places where people don't recognize my worth. I'm done playing small. Mmm, you guys are done proving your value instead of just knowing it and acting from that. Could have something to do with money or overall self-worth and relationships. Leo risings. This is the most personal rebirth for you guys. An old identity is falling away because you simply aren't that person anymore. A lot of you are getting married and changing names or joining households, starting new households, which involves huge identity release. Some of you could be getting divorced and releasing an old identity, an old chapter. Um, a lot of you could be just making huge overall personality changes. What you do for a living, where you live, who you're in relationship with. You're you're starting to be reborn as the very powerful individual that you really are. And something tells me a relationship, a marriage, partnership, relationship has to do with it. Virgo risings, this is your 12th house. It's a hidden house, it's a quiet house. So while you guys are hyper-vigilantly observing those around you, having eclipse stories, yours might be, you know, some lava explosions internally. Something you guys have carried quietly behind the scenes is ready to end. This is a powerful eclipse for surrender, for closure, and Virgos, just let go. Stop behaving that way, stop reacting that way. Life is okay, it's meant to be enjoyed. You can finally release something. My gosh, that could have been plaguing you for the last 18 years, that long, but especially since about 2018 with Durana. So, Virgos, this is a quiet but ultimately super powerful one. I can't encourage therapy, solitude, retreat, being alone with your thoughts so that you can release this. Libras, Libra Rising, this is your 11th house of hopes and dreams, friendships. You guys, simply put, maybe outgrowing a friendship, maybe outgrowing a friend group or a community or a social media audience or even a future dream that you once thought was exactly what you needed, but no longer reflects where you're headed. So, Libras, my best advice with this is if you immediately thought of a friend or a group of friends, when I said that, trim the fat. What I was saying earlier, you guys, you know, you're always like, well, any relationship can be mended. You guys are the sweethearts where you will stay in marriages and friendships at the cost of your dignity and self-respect. This Leo Eclipse is saying, no more babies, no more. You've got to let it go because in their place, remember the dining table analogy? You guys deserve to have incredibly loyal, fun, reciprocal, balanced relationships. This is your time to trim the fat. And the 11th house focuses more on friendships, but you guys do have Saturn in your seventh house of marriage, so it could be a marriage partner as well, or someone you're in a close relationship, romantic relationship with. But the other definition of this is an old hopes and dreams. So if you're listening to this on behalf of a Libra, you know they are going through a kind of a death and a rebirth on what I used to want and dream of. My entire life is no longer what I do. So be everyone be gentle with Libras, okay? Scorpio rising. This is your 10th house of career direction in life. Release the version of success you thought you're you were supposed to achieve and redefine what you actually want to be known for. So this is a huge career eclipse for you guys. You guys are really ready to say, all right, well, if I'm the Phoenix rising from the ashes, I have to go produce some ashes before I can rise. You know what that means. Gasoline, baby. I just learned yesterday from Mr. Virgo that gas actually doesn't grow a fire. Diesel does. Fun fact of the Virgo day. So go throw some diesel on a career you're ready to let go of. Go throw some diesel on a direction your life was going and say, nope, I'm paving a new way. This is the way I'm going. And make sure your heart sings when you think about going that way. Sagis, Sagittarius risings. This is your ninth house of publishing your beliefs, higher education, international travel. Simply put, an old belief about your life and what you think you can achieve and say and do may no longer fit who you are now, who you've become. And when you finally just digest that, you open the door to a completely different worldview. And as a result, the direction of your life may change when that belief of, oh, maybe I Can be okay if I step into that change.

unknown 1:06:03

Huh.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:04

Interesting. I used to think that that was just so insurmountable and scary and just not for me. I just am never gonna be a parent. I'm just you know what? I'm never gonna be a mom or a dad. I'm never gonna own a house by the sea. But what if you do? What if you actually can? What if it's closer than you thought? What's the best that could happen, Sagittarius? It's yeah, well, Steph, it hasn't happened yet, but what if it does? That's your homework, Sagittarius. Capricorn risings, this is your eighth house. Ooh, Scorpio house. It's time to release right now. You listen up to me, Capricorns. It's time to release an old attachment, to pay off a debt, dependency on sex, fear, emotional entanglement. If you're carrying around guilt from a sexual experience, be it abortion, miscarriage, an STD you had or gave to someone, if you have manipulated someone for money or stole money or used someone for money, or if you were in a massive pile of debt, this is a wonderful time to say this is the beginning of the end. I'm done. It's over. I'm ready to alchemize those behaviors, those patterns, those issues into power. This is a really potent one, Capricorns. Come see me. Aquarius risings, this is your seventh house of marriage, divorce, relationship. So easy peasy, you might be getting divorced, you might be getting married. A relationship chapter or an old way of relating may be changing so that you can stop losing yourself and who other people need you to be. Now, the number one definition of this is marriage and romantic partnerships. But Aquarians, if you found yourself attached to one person, we gotta extend that. We gotta grow our tentacles to other people, not put all of our eggs in one basket. Or maybe you're an Aquarius listening to this saying, I've attached nobody. I don't trust people, no one gets me. This could be your time where you say, you know what? That astrologer girl's right. I am pretty cool. Someone would be very lucky to be my friend. Someone would be so blessed to be my romantic partner, because I'm a pretty fun person. I'm pretty cool. I you know what I do like myself. That is exactly what this eclipse could be saying for you guys, and I hope that it rings true. Pisces rising, this is your sixth house. An unsustainable routine. Maybe it's an unsustainable diet that you've been restricting yourself to, trying to heal something that's not working, an unsustainable workload, a bad habit like smoking or drinking, or a way of caring for yourself is ready to change because your everyday life wants to support you. So not the funnest eclipse. It's more like, hey, what are you eating? You need to get rid of gluten, it's gotta go under this. Do you need to stop drinking caffeine? It's gotta go under this. But those little things are what make the big things so much better. So Pisces Rising, sometimes if you have a sick and old pet that is ready to go, um, the South Note Eclipse in the sixth house is a time where that might happen. I don't say that to scare you. Again, this is typically when you know. It's you know, when our pets get old, it's like, okay, it's around the corner, but we don't know when. We're just rolling the dice here on their geriatrics. This could be a time, and it's usually if it is under an eclipse, it's a very peaceful spiritual experience that has a connection to something else. It's very wild when I've witnessed clients uh lose a pet during a sixth house south node eclipse. It's almost like within the next six months, because that's how eclipses uh work, a new pet finds them. I don't search for it, it finds them, or I don't know, it's just it's very wild to witness. So that's one way it turns out, but it's your sixth house of your daily routine, Pisces. Make it work for you. Don't be at the mercy of it. Guys, that's all I've got for you.
