You
Who are the source of all power,
Whose rays illuminate the world,
Illuminate also my heart
So that it too can do Your work.

It's Eclipse time!
Eclipses signify times of fated/destined changes or events in our lives and the world around us! They are like supercharged New/Full Moons, said to be 10 times more powerful than a normal lunation. They are times when our most steady lights, the Sun and Moon, go dark. Eclipses were seen as negative omens by ancient people and astrologers. It is advised to avoid charging your crystals/tools under the light of the Eclispes. It is also advised to avoid intention setting and manifestation rituals during Eclispes. We do not want to charge sacred items or do intention setting/manifestations because Eclispes open portals of energy, and we NEVER know what's coming through portals. We want to be vigilant of whatever comes in, however. Eclispes are times to pray, fast, and lie low while the energy is whirling around us. Eclispes are like energetic Cat 5 hurricanes; it's not advised to venture out into these storms to explore. Whatever we pull in if we are manifesting/charging will have the energy of Eclispes imprinted. Eclispes are chaotic times; why invite more chaos than necessary?!
Powerful beginnings and endings often take place around Eclipses. Trust that whatever is coming in or leaving our lives is fated. Destiny is in the driver's seat in our lives, and Eclipses are known to course-correct us if we've gotten on the wrong path or are stuck. It may not feel like it, but whatever is happening IS for our Highest Good. We may need some time and space from the events to see the Higher Purpose in the Eclipse events.
We are likely to hear more about pregnancies, births, engagements, wedding announcements, as well as deaths, relationships ending, or job losses during this time. This first Eclipse in Leo is a Solar Eclipse (always a New Moon); it's a South Node Eclipse, so significant, powerful endings, wrapped in new beginnings are coming in. Something is being taken away, and replaced with something else. This is a spiritual course correction, because Jupiter is also in Leo.
The Nodes of Fate are in Leo-Aquarius now! This is a massive vibe shift! We can expect fated/destined events to unfold. The South Node will enter Leo, co-present with Jupiter in Leo. The North Node will enter Aquarius, co-present with Pluto in Aquarius! This will be an intensely powerful 18-month transit. Having the Nodes of Fate co-present with these powerful planets means massive changes in our lives and the world around us!
The South Node in Leo, co-present with Jupiter in Leo, has a contradictory energy. Leo is the King/Queen, the star of the show. The South Node drains, empties, and removes. Jupiter is bringing spiritual course corrections to the Leos, highlighting and amplifying true King/Queen power and energy. The "false idols" are falling away. I see this transit as the return of the King. As in true kingly energy, leaders are here to serve in the position of leadership. I see this as King Author vibes. Maybe we need to go back to what works.
The North Node is in Aquarius, co-present with Pluto in Aquarius. We will see an acceleration of breaking down old orders to prepare us for the future and to welcome in the new era/world. The North Node calls us uncomfortably toward our future desires and destiny. We are being asked to lean in.
This is a significant vibe shift in our collective lessons and where our attention is focusing. Look to the Leo-Aquarius part of your charts to see where the Eclispes next month are taking place! The Nodes are in Fixed signs, so deep, powerful transformations, endings and beginnings are taking shape. The last time that the Nodes were in these signs was in 12/2007- 8/2009, when the North and South Nodes were in the same signs as now. We had the Nodal reversal from 5/2017-11/2018, when the North Node was in Leo and the South Node in Aquarius. Look back to this time for themes of what's in store for us! It's never exactly the same, but similar themes are active.
It's Eclipse week! Buckle up, it's a massive one! Mercury is in Leo, on the Eclipse axis, and is extremely active all week long. Mars enters Cancer early Tuesday morning; Mars, like Venus, is beginning to slow down, preparing for the Mars Rx early next year! Thankfully, Venus is in her homesign for a prolonged stay, due to her incoming retrograde in October, but she's bringing in some sweetness and justice.
The Eclipse is a South Node Eclipse, co-present with Jupiter, so this is a massive course correction; this is a spiritual realignment. The South Node can remind us of whom we used to be for better and worse. Maybe we need to go back and practice some discipline or self-worth that we had in the past to benefit us in the present and future! I see this time as a return of the King/Queen; as in King Arthur vibes- not King Charles! Let it be a time of return to your sovereign self. Honor yourself as royalty and treat your body as such.
We can expect massive news stories coming to light this week! Loads of information is flying around, as Mercury reactivates (ish) the Basket aspect we had in mid-July.
Today:
We are in the Dark Moon phase now!
Dark Moons before Eclispes are wild! They are times of potentially massive self-undoing. Please protect yourself and your energy! Protection work and spiritual hygiene are imperative now!
We wake up to a long void-of-course Moon that stretches into early Tuesday morning! Yikes! A Dark Moon before an Eclipse with an all-day-long void Moon?! Eek! This makes for a wonky, volatile, and intense day today! Strive to remain grounded and centered; avoid arguments, fights, and confrontations. Pick your battles! Lie low today. It's great for working behind the scenes.
Void Moons are not good for launching businesses, important projects, making/having important business or medical appointments, or having arguments, fights, and confrontations! Things tend to escalate quickly during void Moons and tend to go off the rails! Pick your battles!
Mercury in Leo squares Chiron Rx in Taurus at 1:16 am; this aspect can signify disturbed sleep, nightmares, or discomfort. Our dreams are delivering important messages to us now. Pay close attention.
Moon in Cancer squares Saturn Rx in Aries at 3:30 am; this aspect also limits or disrupts our sleep. Inflammation, pain, or illnesses are more likely now. Be gentle with yourself. Maybe we are receiving a reality check. Emotional regulation and discipline are encouraged now.
The Moon goes void of course with this aspect and remains void until early Tuesday morning! Void Moons are great for working behind the scenes, cleaning, organizing, and doing healing work. They are ideal for rest and relaxation, so have a slow, peaceful day if possible. This week is intense, so we need to pace ourselves!
Avoid fights, arguments, and confrontations! Impulsive actions can lead to self-undoing.
Venus in Libra trines Pluto Rx in Aquarius at 2:09 pm; Venus in Libra is coming in to save the day! She is strong and wants to smooth over any rough edges and encourages peace. Venus and Pluto are encouraging us to think deeply/critically, do the deeper healing work, and support financial gains.
Venus in Libra opposes Neptune Rx in Aries at 6:02 pm; everything that glitters is not gold! Venus-Neptune oppositions can warn of lies, illusion, delusion, or fantasy. Watch your back, especially if dating someone new! This aspect can support creative projects, bring about magical loving times, but do not get caught up in the fantasy! Listen to music, seek inspiration, read/write poetry, or enjoy some self-care time. Venus is strong now, so she's seeing the bigger picture and knows that Neptune can be a deceiver.
Mars enters Cancer at 4:30 am 8/11; Mars enters his sign of Fall in Cancer. Mars tends to struggle in Cancer. Cancer is a soft, tender, sensitive sign ruling over mothers, children, and families. Mars is the God of War; he's brave, active, energetic, aggressive, and likes a fight. Mars in Cancer is highly protective and advocates for women, children, and families. It can also signify an uptick in domestic violence, so please remain centered, protect yourself, and your family! This is Mars's final sign it moves through before it enters its retrograde signs! Mars will retrograde as we start 2027, but we enter the Shadow period in the Fall! We can expect more emotional volatility, eruptive emotions, family drama, and emotional anger during this time. Strive to remain grounded and centered. Find useful ways to move anger and frustrations.
The Moon enters Leo at 4:38 am 8/11; the Moon in Leo is warm-hearted, loyal, generous, dramatic, proud, regal, paternalistic, creative, and dominating.
The Moon in Leo is answering to the Sun in Leo! We are officially in the Solar Eclipse Portal! Double down on prayers and protection!
Moon in Leo squares Chiron Rx in Taurus at 6:01 am 8/11; ouch. The morning is off to an emotional start. We are exhausted, vulnerable, and feeling deeply wounded. Tend to self-care and healing work. Eat healthfully, stay well hydrated, and practice grounding.

Snake- Transformation
The power of Snake medicine is the power of creation, for it embodies sexuality, psychic energy, alchemy, reproduction, and ascension(or immortality)
This medicine teaches you on a personal level that you are a universal being. Through accepting all aspects of your life, you can bring about the transmutation of the fire medicine. This fire energy, when functioning on the material plane, creates passion, desire, procreation, and physical vitality. On the emotional plane, it becomes ambition, creation, resolution, and dreams. On the mental plane, it becomes intellect, power, charisma, and leadership. When this Snake energy reaches the Spiritual plane, it becomes wisdom, understanding, wholeness, and connection to the Great Spirit. If you have chosen this symbol, there is a need within you to transmute some thought, action, or desire so that wholeness may be achieved. This is a heavy magic, but remember, magic is no more than a change in consciousness. Become the magician or the enchantress: transmute the energy and accept the power of the fire.

Year of the Yang Fire Horse!
Fire Horse years are extremely fast-moving, so buckle up! The last time that we had a Fire Horse year was 1966! The Fire Horse is bold, independent, passionate, strong-willed, and rebellious! Live with passion! Let your light shine!
Bedroom Feng Shui
I love the look of plants in the bedroom, but did you know that it is said that plants in the bedroom drain your energy? Humans are considered to be an Earth element. Plants are the Wood element. In the 5 Element theory, Wood drains Earth energy. As always, do what is best for you! Take a look at your energy levels; if you have plants, pictures of flowers, or even plant patterns on your bedsheets, maybe begin trading them out.
Bedrooms do best with neutral colors, earthy colors.
