Eclipse Season Begins

Magical Pisces, you’re entering a month of fire and ice. There’s an overwhelming amount of Leo energy. Not only have the karmic Nodes recently changed signs, with the South Node showing us what we must let go of, but there’s also a solar eclipse, the like of which we haven’t seen since 1999. And boy, was that a life changer. Too far back? What transformed in late August 2018?

✦ ✦ ✦

Solar Eclipse in Leo

You’re being told in no uncertain terms to look at your patterns and habits, along with your health and well-being. Devotion is another aspect of this vibe, and the South Node is helping you move away from situations you’ve outgrown. Within six months, your devotion will be focused on an entirely different theme. Mercury enters Leo on the 9th, helping you communicate and understand what you need to do next.

Mercury’s Bright Aspects

At certain points, you’ll experience Leo like the big friendly lion: warm, bouncy and magical. Mercury is trine your ruler, Neptune, helping you talk your way into a dream opportunity. Mercury is also sextile Uranus, bringing a delightful conversation that ends up being far more important than you first thought. You’re swimming in the deep end of the ocean now, and the current is asking you to explore a transformed version of yourself.

Chiron Turns Retrograde

Chiron, the wounded healer, is making a rare retrograde in Taurus. This hasn’t happened since 1983! Chiron likes to excavate our most sensitive wounds, and the spotlight is on your communication. It’s a big topic. What’s your relationship with your inner voice? Do you cheerlead yourself, or are you self-critical? Chiron is helping you find your voice, but it might involve taking a time machine back into the past to discover where you lost it.

Lunar Eclipse

The lunar eclipse is the most significant because it happens in your sign. You’re forging a new identity. You can no longer hold on to what other people want you to be. The eclipse empowers you to speak your truth, and you will. You embody the fierceness you need. What does the new you want to step into? This is a rare opportunity for you and, like the salmon making its seemingly impossible journey upstream, you are returning home.

In a Nutshell

It’s a defining month, Pisces. Chiron turns retrograde on the 3rd, asking hard questions about your inner voice and whether you’re your own cheerleader or your own worst critic. Mercury moves into Leo on the 9th, putting your health, habits and daily devotion under the spotlight just as the solar eclipse arrives on the 12th. Mercury trines your ruler Neptune and sextiles Uranus soon after, opening the door to a real opportunity and a conversation that matters more than it first seems. The lunar eclipse on the 28th lands in your own sign, asking you to finally speak your truth and step into who you’re becoming. We close the month on the 31st as Jupiter trines Saturn, giving you the structure to carry it all forward.
