The celestial week of August 10, 2026 begins with the Sun rising in magnificent Leo, illuminating an opportunity to use alchemy to transform the bare core metal of a heart of gold into a spiritual blueprint for inner awakening by stepping outside the usual rules and taking a risk. The caveat is the consideration of a deep unconscious desire of the ego to actualize the awakening with the Midas touch, to experience the lesson that gold cannot replace living things, bypassing the true opportunity to change their soul and, ultimately, its purpose.
Mercury, the planetary messenger, has also just entered into the heart of the lion with a mandate to discover the truth of what lies hidden within the heart as Jupiter in Leo heralds a new sunrise after the dark night of the soul with a glorious display of generosity or a parade to show off its grandeur.
Meanwhile, the Moon is sitting at 17 degrees of Cancer with an emotional feeling that small beginnings can lead to a beautiful flowering as seeds grow into knowledge and light. The 17th degree of Cancer is the same degree that Mercury went retrograde on June 29th so communication of feelings since then are being reflected now to either release or nurture them into an emotional garden of caring nurturing and support throughout the coming year as the Moon in Cancer is balsamic to the Sun in Leo, as both are positioned in their strongest ruling signs and the companion phase to the recent full moon in Leo/Aquarius. Thus, what was illuminated under the full moon then is available for the inherent gold of love within to be supported now. The key is to receive the best, and release the rest, instead of holding on to misunderstandings with false pride.
There are also three configurations in the sky at sunrise as two kites are formed with a five-point star contained within them. Looking at the star first represents the destiny of potential through triumph of spiritual power over mundane materialism. It emerges through the highest point of the star, which is Uranus in Gemini, with a message to contemplate whether the pursuit of material or spiritual wealth leads to experiencing financial success and the freedom that accompanies it, or becomes a potential fall from grace as the winds of change occur.
Uranus in Gemini is aligned favorably with Neptune retrograde in Aries, with the symbology that creative imagination may be the path to travel to discover the truth of what Mercury in Leo is illuminating. Whereas Venus in Libra points to potential collaborations that could result in financial prosperity, as Pluto retrograde in Aquarius backs it with the faith of transformation.
The caveat is that Venus will go retrograde on October 3rd, so collaborations that are being made now, or partnerships, could undergo an unraveling when Venus goes retrograde in Scorpio this fall. The key is to trust your gut instead of the surface of what it appears to be.
The two kites encompass the same planets as the star, yet the difference lies in the awareness and understanding of how to get the kites off the ground. The tail of the first kite is in the area of financial resources and relationships anchored by Venus, the queen of relating in Libra. Therefore, Venus, the planet of self-values, provides the aerodynamics and stability by adding drag and weight to the end of the planetary kite, through congruent self-values and win-win solutions to get the kite off the ground and in the air. However, Venus in Libra opposes Neptune retrograde in Aries in the area of financial support, or liability through partnerships. The key is to determine any covert agendas of partners, and whether they are committed to investing resources without a guaranteed return.
The tail of the second kite lies in the area of daily work routines, with Pluto retrograde in Aquarius holding down the fort. The caveat is Pluto retrograde in Aquarius is currently consolidating internal power until it goes direct on October 15th, and by then Venus will be retrograde in Scorpio. Thus, the wisest option now could be to utilize the resources of Venus to create harmonious relationships before she becomes uncooperative in the fall.
Minutes after midnight on August the 10th, challenges may arise in communication as Mercury in Leo unwittingly tugs on hidden relationship wounds personified by Chiron retrograde in Taurus about self-values. While Mercury in Leo may attempt to salvage the damage with a know-it-all egotistical attitude, communicating a heartfelt apology and understanding will be a healing path of forgiveness.
On the afternoon of August 10th, Venus in Libra and Neptune in Aries oppose each other with an opportunity to negotiate differences of values and behaviors with honest, direct communication, and could be the saving grace of relating if Neptune retrograde in Aries takes responsibility for elusive behaviors, and Venus in Libra holds boundaries to support the foundation of relationships.
In the early hours of August 11th, Mars settles down in a smouldering pond of emotional energy, opening a six-week window of pressure cooker energy regarding family, home and childhood. Mars has a tendency to demonstrate knee-jerk reactions when emotional boundaries are activated, and it won’t take much to trigger them as Neptune retrograde in Aries provides the matches to light the emotional fuse. Pluto retrograde in Aquarius doesn’t help either, with a detached, whatever attitude, as Mercury in Leo opposes it with an attitude of entitlement. Lastly, Venus in Libra is available to mediate and soothe the ruffled waters of Mars in Cancer, Neptune retrograde in Aries, and Pluto retrograde in Aquarius; if they are prepared to be accountable for emotional feelings that trigger behaviors, and the transformation of them.
On another note, the energy of these cosmic challenges is ripe ingredients for potential incidents of road rage, domestic violence, and family disputes. A few minutes later, the Moon blazes into warm-hearted Leo to join Mercury, Jupiter, and the Sun in Leo with an opportunity to demonstrate genuine love from the heart for oneself and others through the sharing of romantic feelings to sustain the fire of love, or throw cold water to put it out with the icy emotional detachment of Pluto retrograde in Aquarius.
Before the day ends, Mercury in Leo opposes Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, and the gloves may come off for an end-of-the-day drama as Mercury in Leo confronts the detached facade of Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, “I don’t care” attitude regarding romance, creativity, children, hopes, wishes, and dreams of the future.
For the grand cosmic finale of the week, a total eclipse in Leo occurs and is visible in Greenland, Iceland, and Spain, and will be viewed as a partial solar eclipse with coverage in the northern states of Alaska and parts of the northeast. Solar eclipses also appear to occur as a solidary event, when in actuality they are part of a much larger cycle of approximately 1226 to 1550 years or 12 to 15 centuries. During the total lifespan, it will produce 69 to 87 individual solar eclipses which repeat sequentially at intervals of one NASA Saros Cycle of 18 years, 11 days and 8 hours. (1) Solar eclipses either begin at the north or the south pole and wrap around the globe until they reach the opposite end of the pole.
This eclipse began March 10th, 1179, at the south pole and will not comp
lete until August 13th, 2423, when it reaches the north pole. South node eclipses are relationship-oriented, requiring compromises for balance. Each subsequent eclipse from the beginning to the end carries a similar pattern of energy that began at the initial eclipse. Due to the visible attraction of eclipses, the astrological meaning is often overlooked relative to the energy of the next six months. Thus, the Leo solar eclipse of 2026 is indicative of breaking free of a negative situation where no hope can be seen to a more positive space containing many options. The solution is shown by the cosmos and needs to be taken up without too much delay. (2)
The last eclipse in this particular series occurred August 1st, 2008, indicative of what occurred then, could happen again now as a similar echo from the past into the present. For instance, at the Libra new moon in September of 2008, the eclipse in August was a catalyst to trigger a global financial crisis as a US credit and housing system became a toxic, suffocating gridlock. Thus, there may be shifts coming with the economy during these next six months.
On a personal level, the solar eclipse occurs in Leo along with Mercury and Jupiter. The key to moving through the next six months lies in the awareness of what is truly gold in your life and may be reminiscent of events that occurred in 2008. The caveat is that all that glitters is not gold, and the awareness of what or who is truly valuable in life will be the difference that makes a difference until February 2027, and the next 18 years!
In the early hours of August 13th, the Moon moves quickly into logical thinking Virgo, offering an opportunity to process emotional feelings in an effort to make sense of them. However, Mercury, the CEO of Virgo, is moving through romantic Leo, so attempting to analyze feelings instead of feeling them may be a futile exercise between the head and the heart, with the heart winning out.

The celestial week of August the 3rd, 2026, begins with the Sun rising in majestic Leo, illuminating an opportunity to rise above superficiality into receptivity and peace with others. The true power of the Sun’s placement in Leo lies in its undiluted state of energy, as it does not filter the expression of the energy through other planets.
However, other planets either fall in alignment with its power or run the risk of burning up in its intensity. For a moment, stop and consider that without the energy of the Sun, complex life on Earth could not exist. Thus, the creative process of life exists in all humanity as a power to create life with an intentional purpose of sustainment. Leo energy either manifests as a warm heart offering unconditional love for all life, magnetizing to it all it desires, or the ego that doesn’t recognize that all life is interconnected, thus losing true power of heartfelt integration to the illusion of the superior ego.
Currently, the Sun is positioned between Jupiter in Leo and Venus in conscious Virgo. Jupiter personifies the expansion principle, so now everything appears larger than life and perhaps too good to be true behind the radiation of the Sun. As the Sun in Leo moves toward Venus in Virgo, it is shining a light on how to let go of relationships and resources that don’t stand up to the scrutiny of the Venus ideal of perfection. The caveat is that what is released prematurely before the ideal can come to a state of perfection may not be able to be salvaged once Venus retrogrades into Libra on October 3rd, 2026.
Therefore, the key is to not throw the baby out with the bath water, but to consider the value of the baby first. First of all, the dirty bath water and the baby are internal projections about personal values, so cleaning up the projections can reveal self-values so others don’t have to be sacrificed to retain personal illusory values.
Is that a lot to digest? Absolutely! Yet, this upcoming Venus retrograde cycle is not for the faint of heart, as Venus in Libra will begin evaluating relationships for their worthiness before Venus retrograde in Scorpio will force a complete overhaul of the hidden undercurrents of love, power, and self-worth demanding absolute vulnerability and truth of the shadow within about a fear of emotional or financial loss, that can only be denied and continued throughout relationships; or transformed as the Phoenix rises from the ashes.
Meanwhile, the Moon is blazing through impetuous Aries, with a desire to move forward emotionally, adopting an adaptive, optimistic attitude to explore broader emotional horizons. Mars is the CEO of Aries and is currently blowing through the winds of communicative Gemini to trim off the bare reality of emotional feelings by editing words, thoughts, emotions, and superfluous things that are emotional weeds that threaten the harvest of a beautiful emotional garden. Mars in Gemini then elicits the assistance of Mercury in Cancer to have the faith of opportunities manifesting on the horizon through caring communication.
Then, shortly after lunch, Chiron, the wounded healer, begins to retrograde in Taurus, the keeper of values. Oh my, time for all the hidden lions, tigers, and bears to present themselves in the context of daily life to discern through Venus in Virgo for their quality and worthiness. The key to the discernment of Venus in Virgo now lies in the feelings connected to their values. If it feels right, it goes on the plus side of Venus in Virgo’s accounting process. If not, it goes on the minus side with the caveat that the Venus retrograde cycle will reveal what is hidden relative to those values.
On the evening of August 4th, the Moon slowly moves into gentle Taurus, offering an opportunity to reflect on emotional values that soothe the soul through the caring communication of shared feelings.
Upon waking on August 5th, it can be a vault of silent strength to persevere as challenges related to power, hopes, wishes, dreams, and the pursuit of creative projects as power plays present themselves for a piece of the pie or the long-term inherent value. The key is to listen with what feels right, seek options, and hold boundaries with a fierce yet kind determination.
On the afternoon of August 6th, Venus dances into graceful Libra to determine the validity of career projects that may be delayed due to a difference of values. Venus is currently in the sacrifice phase of the upcoming retrograde cycle, so what is sacrificed now may be a blessing in disguise between October 3rd and November 13th, 2026. The key is to find the balance between true value and covert projected agendas.
Before the day ends, Mercury finally leaves the shadow of the retrograde energy of June 29 – July 23, with emotional and mental clarity about emotional misunderstandings and relationships to build a firm foundation for future growth and progress.
In the early hours of August 7th, the Moon moves into quick-thinking Gemini and may interrupt patterns of sleep with intuitive messages that clarify emotional feelings of value from the recent Mercury retrograde cycle in Cancer, as sudden epiphanies fill in the missing pieces of the puzzle.
And finally, shortly after sunrise on August 7th, the Sun reaches 15 degrees of Leo, announcing the gibbous solar phase of the current solar cycle begun at the Spring Equinox on March 20th, 2026. At the spring equinox, seed intentions were planted in the fertile fields of universal consciousness from the thoughts, actions, and emotions of the previous 45 days (February 3rd through March 20th, 2026), which are now producing the first harvest as Leo is the creative spark of manifestation. Therefore, applied efforts of thoughts, visions, actions, and feelings since the Spring Equinox have the potential to expand exponentially during the next 12 years as Jupiter in Leo works behind the scenes.

The celestial week of July 27, 2026 begins with the Sun rising in charismatic Leo, gloriously gracing the dawn, illuminating expansive opportunities to move forward by jumping into a void with an open heart and no attachment to outcomes. Jupiter, the king of the skies, is also aligned with the Sun in Leo, indicating choices between the established and innovative creative path to actualize the power of those opportunities during the next 12 years.
Meanwhile, the Moon is emotionally climbing a Capricorn mountain of success to pursue life’s goals and riches with emotional commitment. Whereas Saturn, the CEO of Capricorn and the planet of commitment and self-imposed limitations, began to retrograde on the afternoon of July 26, revising the structures of one’s daily being as a CEO, creating personal reality amid an abundance of available choices. The key is to consciously use intentional actions to avoid becoming overwhelmed by societal expectations and unconsciously selling one’s soul in the process. Whereas emotional, instinctive feelings are a guide to small, careful beginnings leading to a beautiful flowering of expansion.
However, before the Sun rose in magnificent Leo, it opposed Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, illuminating the cooperation needed to balance one’s creative identity and ability to communicate unconditional love with an open heart and a desire to retain independent freedom and transform powerful opportunities with emotional detachment.
Venus in Virgo and Pluto retrograde in Aquarius follow the opposition as they enter a gibbous wobble phase relative to self-values and financial resources experienced in relationships. The key to offsetting the wobble lies in the discernment of staying within the safe lanes of continuing to relate to others as a mirror of self-values or taking a deep dive into transforming those values to free oneself and experience unconditional love for oneself.
On the evening of July 28th, Venus in Virgo enters into the balsamic phase with the Sun in Leo, with an opportunity to release past relationship patterns with congruent self-values through clear communication and the give and take of unity and equality. This phase is highly significant because it is a prelude to the Venus retrograde cycle that occurs in Libra on October 3rd and that will play out until December 15th as values regarding relationships, resources, and intimacy are reviewed and restructured.
Shortly after, the Moon streaks into emotionally detached Aquarius, hurling a few lightning bolts of intuitive awareness about how one may unconsciously hide behind technology to remain unattached and/or emotionally indifferent. The caveat is that the Moon in Aquarius may have millions of friends in the context of social media and still be incredibly lonely without actual human contact. Perhaps the key is to reach out to others with an old-school means of connecting. Call someone up instead of texting, extend an invitation to meet up in a public place for coffee or to your home for a visit.
During the early hours of July 29th, Venus and Virgo square off with Mars in Gemini through communication as Mercury retraces through the retrograde degrees of Cancer in early and mid-July. The challenge lies in having the courage to take the emotional risks of conveying sensitive vulnerabilities without reservation.
Shortly after sunrise on July 29th, the Sun and Jupiter unite in majestic Leo, radiating golden opportunities of love, joy, and optimism to offset the cool emotional detachment of the Moon and Pluto retrograde in Aquarius. Leo energy has heartwarming energy that can ignite fires within others or turn them to ice with egotistical attitudes. The full moon phase occurs shortly after illuminating the choices being made to receive unconditional love or shut it down.
On the morning of July 31st, the Moon drifts into oceanic Pisces to ride the waves of relating on a soul level as a balm of emotional healing and refreshment to the rising fire of creative expression and windy storms of communications.

The celestial week of July 6, 2026, begins with the Sun rising in emotionally charged Cancer, illuminating an opportunity to enjoy the good fortune of returning to work after a celebration of pleasure and satisfaction. The ruler of Cancer is governed by the Moon, currently void of course, in ethereal Pisces, reflecting the fullness and fertility of abundance, as an ocean of emotions floods the central nervous system with genuine gratitude for life’s blessings.
Whereas Jupiter, the daily CEO of Pisces, is riding high in the sky in charismatic Leo, paying homage to the fixed star Sirius in the constellation of Canis Major, known as the Dog Star, or the Shining One. Sirius is the brightest star in the sky as a beacon to fame and honor when the mundane is made sacred. The brilliance of its life is secondary to the Sun and embraces a powerful energy of integrity and honest intent. The power of it can be difficult to handle, so the key is to honor the intensity with the Earth currently in Capricorn by grounding it with simple pleasures to raise the Spirit with caring shows of affectionate concern as a responsibility to oneself and others.
Meanwhile, the Moon is void of course in Pisces until it races into action-oriented Aries during the mid-morning as the Moon reflects feelings of sharing ideas and connections through Mars in Gemini, aligning with Uranus in Gemini with high-voltage emotional energy charging off in two directions simultaneously. The caveat is that a high voltage of emotions is flowing through Mercury retrograde in Cancer, without an emotional filter, which may become overwhelming.
In the early hours of July 7, 2026, Neptune, the planet of spirituality, visionary dreams, artists, and transcendental love, begins to retrograde back through Aries, the spiritual warrior. The retrograde motion of any planet is like driving down a road with your mind made up with a decision and then realizing you forgot something at home, so you have to turn around and go back for it, only to realize that it was with you all the time. Neptune is the idealistic fog that can lead to confusion when it’s moving forward. Now that Neptune is moving backwards, the fog begins to clear.
Thus, now actions can be taken with greater clarity until 12-12-26, when Neptune goes direct. The caveat is that Neptune retrograde in Aries moves the energy through Mars in Gemini, which can scatter mental thoughts like butterflies in motion, only to be compounded with Mercury retrograde in Cancer. Hence, communicating emotions reflects the essence of thoughts filtered through sensitive feelings that change every two and a half days.
Sounds like a bad dream or a hangover. So the remedy is to love yourself, be kind to others, and seek guidance from within to heal emotional wounds that may stem from many lifetimes.
On the afternoon of July 8, 2026, the Moon moves into calm and gentle Taurus, offering an opportunity to pause, reflect, and release emotions without cluttering the mind with unnecessary chatter to fill the silence, so that the mind can process feelings through the heart as a balm to soothe the soul.
On the afternoon of July 9, Venus moves into Virgo to take inventory on the progress of hopes, wishes, and dreams through the lens of communicating supportive feelings regarding financial resources and relationship values until August 8, 2026. The key is to become aware of negative mental communication that presupposes anything that is not desired, and to be gentle with oneself and others. Reviewing progress to make corrections is one thing; doing it to fix something that isn’t broken is another.
In the early evening hours of July 10, the Moon glides into airy Gemini with an emotional message to lighten up and enjoy time off from the emotionally suffocating weight of having to always be on for the next relationship or work agenda, and relax with friends or spend quality time alone in nature.

The celestial week of April 13, 2026, begins with the Sun rising in entrepreneurial, pioneering Aries, illuminating an opportunity to experience gain, abundance, and riches by keeping options open and filled with the inspiration of the breath of life. Mars, the CEO of warrior Aries, is in Aries and sitting behind the Sun with Neptune in Aries with the awareness that observing one’s current limitations can lead to living a quality of life that is large by understanding and expanding a true place in the scheme of things, and by having a greater visibility and utilizing imagination to expand the vision.
Meanwhile, the Moon is drifting along in oceanic Pisces on a float of hopes, wishes, and dreams regarding adventures, home expansion, and artistic endeavors with like-minded friends. While the Moon flows upon the sacred waters of Pisces, it is quite content to let Neptune, Mars, Saturn, and the Sun in Aries take immediate actions to build a sturdy foundation for the next thirty years that supports the vision of its dreams.
Before the day ends on April 14, Mercury charges into action-oriented Aries, with mental clarity now that the fog has lifted from thoughts about the actions needed to move forward with the intentions of a new solar year begun at the Spring Equinox. The caveat is that Mercury in Aries can be direct to the point of rudeness, often missing the opportunity to secure ideas without a working strategy to bring them to fruition.
On the evening of April 16, Mercury and Neptune unite in Aries with an opportunity to merge conscious-unconscious ideas, and information from an entrepreneurial methodology that works without knowing how it works. The key is to go for it when the phrase “Hey, I’ve got a good idea” precedes the impulse behind the idea.
Shortly after sunrise on April 17, a new moon cycle in Aries begins, fueled by the anticipation and momentum of Mars in Aries to kickstart the current solar year intentions of the Spring Equinox into high gear with illuminated solutions that provide ways through tight situations behind the scenes.
By mid-morning, the Moon moves quietly into slow, gentle Taurus for some emotional downtime and relief from the high-level octane energy of four planets in impulsive, get-r-done Aries. Thus, the remainder of the day is patiently waited out with calm emotions in anticipation of a wind-down weekend of quality cuisine, rest, and lazy relaxation.

The celestial week of March 23rd, 2026, begins with the Sun rising in action-oriented Aries, illuminating an opportunity to get the motors running to gratify desires instantly. However, Mars, the driver of Aries, is drifting through elusive Pisces with emotional confusion about the destination and or a lack of motivation or momentum. While this can become frustrating about being ready to go but having to wait for the driver to show up, the key is to continue focusing on the desires with the faith that everything is working out as it’s meant to, and that delays don’t mean desires aren’t working out; they just need more time. The caveat is that four planets in fire and three in water can simulate a pressure-cooker energy, so turning down the volume can help offset potential explosions.
As Mars is positioned in the spiritual sign of Pisces, now is a great time to create vision boards, engage in mindful meditation, or use hypnosis to guide the unconscious mind in the appropriate direction, rather than indulging in victimization or feeling lost about which direction to pursue.
Meanwhile, the Moon is breezing through Gemini with an emotional need to connect with Neptune, Saturn, and the Sun in Aries about new ideas to pursue and manifest their desires and dreams quickly. However, Mercury, the planetary spokesperson, is still moving through Pisces, so the ideas of the Moon in Gemini may be communicated in ways that lead to misunderstandings, confusion, or convolution. Fortunately, the Moon in Gemini is on the same wavelength with Pluto in Aquarius, thus ideas can be communicated and transmitted more easily as intuitive insights.
In the early hours of March 25th, a new business cycle occurs as the Sun and Saturn unite in Aries, with an opportunity to pursue ambitious desires with determination and motivation and rise above situations that feel stuck or unproductive. This cycle continues for a year and will likely kick off when Mars goes into Aries on April 9th. However, as Mars is still in visionary Pisces, maintaining the focus of the dream is paramount to the success of the union.
Before the Sun rises, the Moon moves into sensitive Cancer to challenge the lack of motivation or inaction with the Sun, Neptune, and Saturn in Aries relative to family and home responsibilities. However, challenges may yield passive-aggressive reactions as four planets in Aries are currently single-mindedly focused on individual desires. There is support for Mercury and Mars in Pisces and Jupiter in Cancer to model the assertive behaviors of Neptune, Saturn, Venus, and the Sun in Aries to shift the focus from expecting or needing others to care for oneself and demonstrating the value of self-responsibility in the process.
On the evening of March 26th, Venus and Chiron unite in Aries with an opportunity to transform self-values with a motivational desire to heal self-imposed wounds of rejection and or abandonment with meditation, self-forgiveness, and/or hypnosis. Dreams may also provide information to reframe unconscious self-victimization or escapism behaviors that continue the cycle instead of working through it.
The lunar landscape shifts dramatically in the mid-morning of March 27th as the Moon strides into pompous Leo with the emotional tantrums of a child demanding to be heard, or graciously with an understanding heart that seeks to hear others with the compassion of a leader. Fortunately, the Moon is in a simpatico relationship with Neptune, Saturn, Venus, and the Sun in Aries, so a lot of good can be achieved with a heart of gold. Otherwise, grandstanding may produce unintentional fireworks with the potential to get burned in the process.
Before the day ends, Mars in Aries and Pluto in Aquarius enter into a crescent phase suggestive of financial growth and or struggles dependent on the clarity of recent decisions and actions that may have been obscured or entered into without consideration of the consequences. This phase will last until Memorial Day, so gas prices may continue to impact financial resources, while AI power struggles may also be on the rise relative to authoritative regulation.

The celestial week of March 9th, 2026, begins with the Sun rising in spiritual Pisces, illuminating an opportunity to experience a transfer of higher knowledge and wisdom from Jupiter, the resident daily CEO of Pisces, which is retrograde in Cancer, and assisting the opportunity by gaining control of one’s inner and emotional life to overcome obstacles.
Meanwhile, the Moon is finishing up a visit in transformational Scorpio after standing up for those in its care with Uranus in Taurus relative to self-values and resources. Both the Moon in Scorpio and Uranus in Taurus are currently being challenged by the recent solar eclipse in Aquarius to transform values with peaceful actions, or suffer the consequences of the chaos that comes with violating the boundaries of others.
By mid-morning, the Moon jumps headlong into expansive Sagittarius with excessive optimism about daily routines and new adventures, without checking first if there’s a safety net. Fortunately for the Moon in Sagittarius, there is immediate support from Neptune, Saturn, and Venus in Aries, as well as Pluto in Aquarius, to go the distance before encountering confusing challenges with the Sun, Mars, and Mercury retrograde in Pisces.
By the end of the day on March 10th, the Moon in Sagittarius is blessed with Jupiter, the CEO of Sagittarius, moving forward in Cancer, on huge opportunities that have been on the back burner since November of 2025. The caveat is that Mercury is still retrograde in Pisces, which could presuppose a lack of clarity on which direction to take until March 20th.
Before the day ends on March 11th, the Moon settles into earthy Capricorn, before encountering Neptune, Saturn, and Venus in Aries overnight, which may abruptly interrupt the dreaming state with tossing and turning about visionary ideas, responsible commitments, and relationship desires. As the planets in Aries are being directed by Mars in Pisces, this is also an opportunity to dissolve conflicts by withdrawing energy from them, and/or engaging in meditation, artistic activities, or hypnosis, so that the conflicts resolve themselves.
On the early evening of March 13th, the weekend starts off with a potentially fated encounter regarding visionary dreams, artistic endeavors, and spiritual gatherings that feel like a calling from the soul, as Mars and the North Node unite in Pisces.
The current planetary energy is a bit of a quandary in that four planets are in laid-back oceanic Pisces, while three are in fiery Aries, which makes for a potential pressure-cooker energy, as the emotional energy of water and the motivational energy of fire are competing with one another as to which will win out. The Pisces planets are inclined to check out when they feel pushed by the Aries planets to take actions before they are ready to.
Thus, use the Pisces planets to dare to dream, to envision, and to create with the emotional power of the ocean, then the Aries planets can move heaven and earth to get it done!

The celestial week of March 2nd, 2026, begins with the Sun rising in magical, mystical Pisces, illuminating an opportunity to prove oneself through an initiation for entrance into higher realms of being. Jupiter, the daily coach of Pisces, is supportive of the opportunity with emotional encouragement to gain control of one’s inner and outer life.
Meanwhile, the Moon is finishing up a visit through dramatic Leo with a confrontational nod to Mars in Aquarius about creating unnecessary and unpredictable chaos behind the scenes relative to unsupervised reckless actions that may play out on the world stage during the next few years. The Moon in Leo is adept at getting attention with theatrical emotions, so the silver lining during this lunar gibbous phase with the Sun in Pisces could be the emotional wobble off the path with the awareness that enough is enough of the great reality/survivor real-life drama going on now.
Shortly after the Moon leaves commanding Leo, it heads for earthly-bound Virgo with a mental to-do list to organize and clean up the ongoing chaos resulting from the restless actions of runaway trains. Virgo is the foot soldier of the zodiac that is more than willing to provide diligent service when called upon. The caveat is that three planets in Pisces may be obscuring the true purpose of the required service. Mars follows the Sun, Venus, and Mercury retrograde in Pisces, minutes after the workday begins, with an active call for measures of peace that may not be easily maneuvered through the confusion of misunderstandings. Jupiter is a daily advisor of Pisces and is currently retrograde in Cancer, which could impact circumstances beneficially when it goes direct on March 10th. Until then, Neptune and Aries are calling the shots impulsively without considering the weight of the consequences.
In the early hours of March 3rd, a lunar eclipse/full moon cycle occurs as the Sun in Pisces opposes the Moon in Virgo, illuminating an opportunity for all parties to come to the table to mediate confrontations; in an effort to agree upon reasonable and equitable solutions. The caveat is that Mercury, the planetary spokesperson, is retrograde in Pisces, and solutions may seem elusive if no one is willing to cooperate until March 20th, when Mercury moves forward. However, there is light at the end of the Mercury retrograde tunnel on March 7th, when the Sun unites with Mercury in Pisces to illuminate the power of peaceful negotiations
On the afternoon of March 4th, the Moon glides into Libra, the queen of mediation, with a strategy to dissolve the differences of values and arrive at a win-win solution behind the scenes. However, the Mon in Libra has its work cut out keeping the peace while meeting the expectation of transparent visions and a foundation to support them as Neptune, Saturn, and Aries are contemplatingpassive-aggressive actions.
Before the Sun comes up on March 6th, Venus moves quickly into pioneering Aries with a strong desire for fairness and equality in relationships and financial resources. Venus in Aries is blunt, direct, and has a reputation for stepping onthe toes of others if necessary to get a point across. Thus, the next few weeks are not the time to unnecessarily poke the bear, unless daring adventures are calling!
Before the day ends, the Moon slips beneath the covers of mysterious Scorpio with intense emotional energy that may raise clouds of suspicion in relationships as Venus, Neptune, and Saturn play cat and mouse with Mars in Pisces.

The celestial week of February 23rd, 2026, begins with the Sun rising in spiritual Pisces, illuminating an opportunity to experience exchanges of spiritual knowledge through prayer, meditation, dreams, artistic creation, hypnosis, and or Divine Intervention to gain control of one’s inner and outer mind through emotional nurturing. Jupiter, the daily manager of Pisces, is currently wading into the emotional waters of Cancer, offering a chance to heal the emotional wounds of childhood, parenting, and dysfunctional family dynamics with the courage and desire to let go of what didn’t work for you personally, with the awareness that caretakers do the best they can with the resources they have, even if it wasn’t what you needed at the time. The difference between then and now is that you have the power to parent yourself and be the CEO of your personal hopes, wishes, and dreams, courtesy of Neptune and Saturn in Aries!
Meanwhile, the moon is strolling through the fields of Taurus with a time out from emotional stress to savor the peace found within by transcending worries through spiritual awareness and a renewed faith in life’s circumstances. While there may be a few kinks in the afternoon regarding resistant attitudes demonstrated by unpredictable behaviors about relationships and or financial resources, it is merely a bump in the road that can be maneuvered successfully with conservative actions and a reminderof consequences. Respectful boundaries are the key. Otherwise, unpredictable and costly results may come as a byproduct of impulsiveness and or inconsideration of others.
Later in the evening, the Moon leaves the peaceful emotional sanctuary of Taurus to enter the territory of duality in consciously communicative Gemini. Now that the dust has settled on recent emotional turbulence, the Moon in Gemini is ready to talk it out. Yet Mercury, the planetary messenger of Gemini, is in the shadow of a retrograde cycle in Pisces and is more inclined to let sleeping dogs lie for the time being, which is probably for the best, as miscommunicated feelings may only add additional confusion without immediate resolution. A wiser option is to give it at least three days to sort it out before engaging in the sharing of touching emotional feelings, as the moon in Gemini may be at cross purposes with the Sun in Pisces and the values of Venus in Pisces. Thus, communicating them through Mercury in Pisces may only convolute the information instead of clarifying it.
Before the day ends on February 25th, the Moon slips into the watery pond of Cancer to rinse off the residue of emotional exhaustion of the past few days before drifting off into a restful sleep to avoid a potential confrontation with Saturn and Neptune in Aries. However, it may be better to meet it head-on before Mercury goes retrograde in Pisces in a couple of hours.
Once the retrograde of Mercury in Pisces begins shortly after midnight on February 26th, miscommunication on the home front may become a catalyst for continued confusion in significant relationships relative to the desire for personal independence to manifest hopes, wishes, and dreams that may not pertain to or involve significant others.
The turning point arrives on March 20th when Mercury moves forward in Pisces, yet complete clarity does not arrive until April 9th when Mercury leaves the shadow of the retrograde cycle.
In the mid-morning hours of February 27th, Mars in Aquarius challenges Uranus in Taurus to demonstrate the value of its convictions about circumstances, such as financial resources and relationships behind the scenes. Otherwise, Mars in unpredictable Aquarius may demonstrate a volatile reaction to them. This is symbolic of a daring situation where no one wins because everyone involved is going to get hurt with risky action-oriented behaviors. By the end of the day, an opportunity for peace occurs to prevail based on the values of working together instead of against one another, that take hold with a Venus and Mercury union in spiritual Pisces.
Last but not least, the recent solar eclipse in Aquarius is still shaking out new beginnings to acclimate to, with Saturn, the daily ruler of Aquarius, ready to move forward in impatient Aries, while also being slowed down by its evolutionary ruler Uranus in Taurus. The key to balancing the energy between go and stop, stop and go, is to determine the foundation desired for the next thirty years and formulate a workable plan of values to support it before the lunar eclipse on March 3rd, in Pisces/Virgo, that will help provide the guidance for the vision and the step-by-step process.

The celestial week of February 16, 2026, begins with the Sun rising in abstract-thinking Aquarius, illuminating an opportunity to gather resources in preparation for the storms of enlightenment on the horizon, as new technological changes are generating unknown pathways into the future. One of the precursors occurred on February 15, when the Sun in Aquarius challenged Uranus in Taurus, by shattering the illusions of stability in relationships, when one is evolving with the changes, while the other chooses not to. The characteristics of Aquarius have a shattering effect similar to unpredictable lightning strikes that demolish old-standing structures to make a path for new beginnings. While it is never easy to let go of comfortable circumstances, it is often necessary for new growth.
Saturn, the daily manager of Aquarius, began dropping those illusions on February 13, when it moved into independent fiery Aries. Saturn is the planetary responsible authoritarian, while Aries is the pioneer of the zodiac, preferring to make decisions that affect others without consideration, as it is impulsive and moves quickly into action, without always considering the long-term consequences of those actions. Thus, the current energy of a potential storm on the horizon has the ingredients of unpredictable lightning strikes, as Saturn has its hands full managing the fiery impetuous pioneer of Aries, which rushes into action where angels fear to tread without a plan.
However, the key to managing unpredictable events now lies in preparing beforehand with a plan of action and in thinking on one’s feet without the pressure of the unknown.
Meanwhile, the Moon is also traveling behind the Sun’s light in Aquarius, in a balsamic lunar phase, to release the emotional past in preparation for the new moon solar eclipse cycle on February 17, 2026, at 29 degrees of Aquarius. This particular time is significant for the future, as the current solar phase is also balsamic in nature, with an opportunity to release the past 18 years while choosing new seeds of evolutionary enlightenment during the next 18 years.
The Sun in Aquarius is void of course as it rises, leaving the Moon in Aquarius to finish up the task of releasing the emotional past with detachment, which the Sun illuminated must go for evolutionary growth.
Shortly before sunrise on February 17, the new moon solar eclipse cycle begins at 29 degrees of Aquarius, indicating an opportunity for a new awakening of feeling able to do something that truly reflects the inner self, which is symbolic of a butterfly emerging from a cocoon to take flight. (1) Solar eclipses are indicative of an 18-year cycle of energy and events that are similar to the last solar eclipse at the same degree, which occurred in 2008. The key is to contemplate the choices and circumstances, then that may be similar now, as in history repeats itself, and what was not learned or integrated then may occur again. As Saturn is the daily supervisor of Aquarius and has just emerged into the fire of Aries, motivational pioneering actions relative to intuitive insights provide guidance and direction during the next two and a half years to build the foundation of a 30-year cycle. Thus, listening to the inner voice for direction with the courage to forge forward with a pioneering spirit can yield the rewards of going where no one has gone before.
The Chinese New Year also begins today with the entry of the fire horse galloping forward with the courage to forge new paths with intense passion, visibility, and innovation. The last time the fire horse represented by the Chinese New Year was 1966, during the new age hippy revolution, and it will not occur again until 2086, so no doubt it is a “fire in the hole” year, which could shape the social culture in a new way for a long time!
A few hours later, the Moon shifts gears as it leaves detached Aquarius to slip away into peaceful Pisces and experience some emotional downtime from the erratic beginnings of the morning. Jupiter, the daily CEO of Pisces, is retrograde in Cancer with a hideaway at home to soothe the frayed edges of the artistic spiritual fire ignited by Neptune in Aries, the transcendental ruler of Pisces.
Shortly after, Venus in Pisces unites with the North Node in Pisces for an opportunity to experience a fated spiritual artistic vision with another behind the scenes. However, Jupiter, the daily promotional agent of Pisces, is retrograde in Cancer, suggesting slowing down first and gaining control of one’s inner and outer life before jumping into an ocean of emotion without a life preserver.
On the mid-morning of February 18th, the Sun joinsVenus, Mercury, and the Moon in the Pisces ocean with waves of emotions that may feel overwhelming, as the spiritual artistic purpose of life is highlighted through values, emotions, and information that may require downtime to process and integrate. Jupiter retrograde in Cancer will assist with the downtime, while Neptune in Aries stimulates the process with monumental actions.
Another monumental planetary union occurs on the mid-morning of February 20th, as Saturn and Neptune join together in Aries with the symbolism of new cycles and beginnings of actions emerging into concrete manifestation. Saturn is the planet of foundations, and Neptune personifies dreams and visions. Thus, an opportunity is present to build a foundation to give form to visionary dreams. The last Saturn-Neptune conjunction occurred on November 13th, 1989, at 11 degrees of Capricorn, symbolizing an opportunity to go after one’s life goals. Thus, now is the time to take the actions of a warrior with a fierce determination to manifest a firm foundation of visionary dreams.
