Eclipse Season Begins

Scorpio, a rare wild energy is burning through August. It’s eclipse season with an extra layer of unusual. The last time there was a total solar eclipse this close to the same degree in Leo was in 1999; that proved to be life-changing for me. My whole life path changed, and it led me to where I am now. Not old enough to remember that? What were you up to in August 2018? You’ll understand the vibe better than anyone; it involves a journey into the shadows to come out transformed. You know what that’s like.

Leo Season & Reputation

The whole flavour of the month is Leo energy, and for you it’s all about how you see yourself in the world, your reputation and what success means to you. Your views on that are going to change radically. Even if it wasn’t for the unusually intense eclipse in Leo, the karmic nodes have changed, with the South Node, what we leave behind, now also in Leo. Don’t fight this; it’s time to reevaluate what’s important.

Chiron Turns Retrograde

Before the solar eclipse, you have to navigate another intense and rare event: Chiron retrograde in Taurus. We haven’t had a Chiron retrograde in Taurus since 1983. The healing you’re doing is going to be around love and relationships; an ex could show up, or you might hear about them. You might have a wave of sentimentality, but it’s far deeper than that. Chiron is the wounded healer and goes right to our most vulnerable spots. What is the plot of your relationship history? If your love life were a film, would it be a thriller, a romantic comedy or a silent movie? However your love life has expressed itself, you are healing.

Venus Trine Pluto

There’s a lovely Venus trine to your ruler, Pluto, on the 10th, which is a magical gateway into a softer you. Your home and family get a vibration reset, and it’s easier than normal. Although, on the same day, Venus opposes Neptune, so keep it real.

Lunar Eclipse & Closing

The second eclipse is a lunar eclipse in Pisces, and this time you’re transforming around pleasure and creativity. What or who brings you the most joy? The eclipse is reminding you to invest in your own happiness, and doing what you love could be the key you’re looking for. Over the next six months, you’ll likely discover new experiences that take you to the next level of wonder and joy. I so wish that for you. It doesn’t get much more serious than this. August is putting you centre stage and increasing your authority. You get to build on that on the 31st, when Jupiter and Saturn connect to give you a secure structure to get stuck into.

In a Nutshell

It’s a defining month, Scorpio. Chiron turns retrograde on the 3rd, stirring old wounds in love and relationships, so don’t be surprised if an ex resurfaces. Mercury moves into Leo on the 9th, lighting up your reputation just as the solar eclipse arrives on the 12th and asks you to rethink what success really means to you. Venus trines Pluto on the 10th for a softer, easier home life, though it opposes Neptune the same day, so keep your feet on the ground. The lunar eclipse in Pisces on the 28th turns your attention to pleasure and creativity, and we close the month on the 31st as Jupiter meets Saturn, giving you a secure structure to build on.
