WEDNESDAY 12TH AUGUST
SOLAR ECLIPSE IN LEO
SOLAR ECLIPSE
in Leo.
The Overview →
This New Moon in Leo is also a Solar Eclipse, which means we are not working with an ordinary monthly reset.
Eclipses open larger chapters, and this one begins our new Leo and Aquarius story, asking us to look at the relationship between our individual expression and the role we play inside something bigger than ourselves.
Leo is the part of us that wants to create, lead, be seen and confidently say: “This is mine. I made this” aka ME.
But, because this eclipse is occurring on the South Node side of the axis, it’s first stop is to reveal what we are tired of performing in order to remain seen by the people around us.
So really, the question that we get to ask ourselves here is “Where have I become more focused on how something is perceived, rather than whether it is actually true for me?
This does not mean you need to stop sharing or wanting people to respond to your work (of course you want people to respond!!!)
The invitation is simply to notice whether recognition has become the primary reason you do it.
This Eclipse may begin a chapter that helps you separate genuine self-expression from the performance of an identity you believe people are expecting from you.
And that new beginning is being activated in a specific part of your life.

5th House Activation
This Solar Eclipse in Leo is activating your 5th house, bringing a new chapter to creativity, self-expression, romance, pleasure, children and the parts of life that make you feel most alive.
My Q to U:
Where have you been creating for approval instead of creating from genuine desire?
Action:
The 5th house is where you express what is uniquely yours, so this Eclipse may ask you to notice where joy, creativity or romance has become overly shaped by how it will be received. To act from your highest version here is to begin making, sharing, loving or playing from what feels true to you, without needing the outcome to prove that your expression was worthwhile.
Prompts:
Where have I been creating for approval instead of desire?
What would I make if nobody was watching?
Where have I delayed joy until I feel more successful?
What part of me wants to be expressed more honestly?
What would it look like to take my pleasure seriously?
-
4th House Activation
This Solar Eclipse in Leo is activating your 4th house, bringing a new chapter to home, family, belonging, emotional safety and the private foundations beneath your life.
My Q to U:
Where are you maintaining a family role that no longer reflects who you are?
Action:
The 4th house is where you build your inner and physical sense of home, so this Eclipse may show you where your private life has been organised around an identity, family expectation or emotional role you have outgrown. To act from your highest version here is to begin creating a home and inner foundation that reflects who you are now, rather than continuing to perform who you have always been expected to be.
Prompts:
Which family role no longer reflects who I am?
What helps me feel emotionally safe at home?
Where am I performing strength in my private life?
What needs to change in my living environment?
What would belonging to myself feel like?
-
3rd House Activation
This Solar Eclipse in Leo is activating your 3rd house, bringing a new chapter to communication, writing, teaching, learning, social media and the way you share your ideas.
My Q to U:
Where have you been communicating correctly, but not recognisably as you?
Action:
The 3rd house is where your voice meets the world, so this Eclipse may ask you to release a way of speaking, writing or sharing that feels polished but no longer personal. To act from your highest version here is to let more of your real perspective, personality and creative confidence enter your communication, without needing every person to agree with or applaud what you say.
Prompts:
Where has my voice become overly polished or neutral?
What do I actually want to say?
Which idea am I ready to share more confidently?
Where am I afraid of being misunderstood?
What would recognisably “me” communication sound like?
-
2nd House Activation
This Solar Eclipse in Leo is activating your 2nd house, bringing a new chapter to money, resources, personal value, skills and the foundations you are building for yourself.
My Q to U:
Where have you been using attention or recognition as proof that what you offer has value?
Action:
The 2nd house is where you define what belongs to you and what your work is worth, so this Eclipse may ask you to separate personal value from the amount of praise or recognition you receive. To act from your highest version here is to become clearer about your skills, prices, resources and standards, and begin building material stability around what you know you can offer rather than waiting for somebody else to validate it first.
Prompts:
Where have I confused attention with value?
What skills have I not fully claimed?
What do I need in order to feel materially supported?
Where am I underpricing what I offer?
What would stronger financial self-trust look like?
-
1st House Activation
This Solar Eclipse in Leo is activating your 1st house, bringing a new chapter to identity, appearance, confidence, self-definition and the way you choose to show up.
My Q to U:
Which version of you are you tired of performing?
Action:
The 1st house is where you meet life as yourself, so this Eclipse may reveal an identity, image or role that has become exhausting to maintain. To act from your highest version here is to allow the way you dress, speak, lead and move through the world to reflect who you are becoming, without continuing to perform a version of yourself simply because other people recognise it.
Prompts:
Which version of me am I tired of performing?
Have I shaped my identity or value around recognition, if yes, why?
How do I want to show up now, without the old story?
What could that look like on a daily basis?
When I stop maintaining this outdated image, what do I think could be possible for me?
-
12th House Activation
This Solar Eclipse in Leo is activating your 12th house, bringing a new chapter to rest, endings, healing, solitude and the parts of yourself that exist away from public view.
My Q to U:
Where are you still performing strength when what you actually need is rest?
Action:
The 12th house is where old identities dissolve before the next version becomes visible, so this Eclipse may ask you to step back from a role, performance or pressure that has become privately exhausting. To act from your highest version here is to make room for rest, reflection and honest endings without treating withdrawal as failure or forcing yourself to know what comes next before the old chapter has properly completed.
Prompts:
Why do I keep performing strength instead of resting, how does my ego benefit from that?
What role am I privately exhausted from maintaining?
How would ending that role quietly look like on a daily basis? What do I do instead?
Where do I need more solitude, can I schedule that in?
What am I ready to stop carrying behind the scenes and what does that now require of me?
-
11th House Activation
This Solar Eclipse in Leo is activating your 11th house, bringing a new chapter to friendships, community, audiences, collaboration and the future you are building with others.
My Q to U:
Where have you been performing for belonging instead of contributing from your truth?
Action:
The 11th house is where your individuality meets the group, so this Eclipse may show you where an audience, friendship or community has begun influencing what you feel allowed to create or express. To act from your highest version here is to contribute something genuinely yours while noticing which spaces support your individuality and which ones only welcome you when you remain recognisable, agreeable or easy to place.
Prompts:
Where have I been performing for belonging?
Which communities allow me to remain myself?
What do I genuinely want to contribute?
Where has audience response shaped my creativity?
What kind of people belong in my future?

This Solar Eclipse in Leo is activating your 10th house, bringing a new chapter to career, leadership, visibility, reputation and the role you occupy publicly.
My Q to U:
Which professional identity are you maintaining because it is recognised, not because it still feels true?
Action:
The 10th house is where you become visible through your work and public role, so this Eclipse may reveal where reputation, status or recognition has begun directing your career more than genuine purpose. To act from your highest version here is to allow your public direction to evolve, even if it means releasing a title, message or version of success that other people already understand.
Prompts:
Which professional identity no longer feels true?
Where has recognition become more important than purpose?
How do I actually want to be known?
What role am I ready to step into?
What would authentic leadership look like for me?
-
9th House Activation
This Solar Eclipse in Leo is activating your 9th house, bringing a new chapter to belief, travel, teaching, publishing, study and the larger meaning you give your life.
My Q to U:
Which belief are you still performing because being certain has become part of your identity?
Action:
The 9th house is where you develop and share your understanding of life, so this Eclipse may expose a belief, teaching identity or worldview that has become too connected to being seen as knowledgeable or correct. To act from your highest version here is to remain open enough for your beliefs to evolve and to share what you know without needing to position yourself as the person with every answer.
Prompts:
Which belief has become part of my identity?
Where am I afraid to admit I have changed my mind?
What do I want to study more deeply?
What truth feels alive for me now?
How can I teach without needing to be the authority on everything?

8th House Activation
This Solar Eclipse in Leo is activating your 8th house, bringing a new chapter to intimacy, trust, shared resources, financial support, debt and the emotional agreements beneath your closest relationships.
My Q to U:
Where have you confused being deeply needed with being genuinely supported?
Action:
The 8th house is where life becomes shared, so this Eclipse may ask you to bring greater clarity to intimacy, support, money, trust and the emotional agreements beneath your closest relationships. To act from your highest version here is to notice where an exchange has become vague, unequal or too emotionally loaded, and begin naming what you need, what you are available for and what support would actually strengthen you rather than leave you feeling indebted, controlled or responsible for holding everything together.
Prompts:
Where have I confused being needed with being supported? Why?
Where am I giving more than the exchange can return? What do I actually want instead?
Which agreement needs clearer terms?
What kind of support would strengthen my autonomy?
Where am I afraid to receive through another? What would it mean about me if I did?
-
7th House Activation
This Solar Eclipse in Leo is activating your 7th house, bringing a new chapter to relationships, partnerships, clients, contracts and the one-to-one dynamics that reflect you back to yourself.
My Q to U:
Which relationship requires you to perform a version of yourself in order to remain chosen?
Action:
The 7th house is where you meet yourself through another person, so this Eclipse may show you where a relationship, partnership or client dynamic has become organised around maintaining a particular image or role. To act from your highest version here is to let connection become more honest, even if that means changing the terms, releasing an expectation or no longer shaping yourself around what keeps another person comfortable.
Prompts:
Where am I performing in order to remain chosen?
Which relationship allows me to be fully myself?
What expectation needs to be released?
Where have I shaped myself around another person?
What would a more honest partnership look like?
-
5th House Activation
This New Moon in Cancer is activating your 5th house, bringing a new intention to your creativity, romance, pleasure, joy, play, children and the part of you that wants to feel safe enough to express itself.
My Q to U:
Where are you delaying joy because you’re waiting to feel more worthy, ready or chosen?
Action:
This is your invitation to plant a new seed around what it means to let yourself feel good without needing to earn it first. The 5th house is the place of joy, creativity, romance, play and self-expression. It shows us what makes us feel alive, but it can also show us where pleasure starts to feel vulnerable because it asks us to be seen in our wanting.
This New Moon is asking you to notice where you have been postponing joy until you feel more prepared, more impressive, more loved or more certain that it is safe to want what you want. To act from your highest version here is to stop treating pleasure like a reward for becoming enough, and begin letting your heart participate in life now.
Prompts:
Where am I delaying joy because I’m waiting to feel more worthy, ready or chosen?
What part of me wants to play, create or love without needing a perfect reason?
Where have I made pleasure feel like something I have to earn?
What creative desire have I been quietly postponing?
Where am I afraid to be seen in my wanting?
What would feel good if I stopped asking whether I deserved it?
What would change if I let joy become part of my healing, not something I only reach after I am fixed?
FRIDAY 28TH AUGUST
PARTIAL LUNAR ECLIPSE IN PISCES
LUNAR ECLIPSE
in Pisces.
The Overview →
A lunar eclipse is better understood as a culmination or revealing point and this one reveals what can no longer be ignored within the Virgo and Pisces story we have been moving through since early 2025 (roughly 18 months).
Its first stop is to reveal where we are exhausted from trying to fix, analyse or manage something that may actually need to be felt, accepted or released.
So really, the question we get to ask ourselves here is: “What have I been trying to solve (virgo) because I do not want to feel what it means?” (pisces)
A practical example would be endlessly trying repair a relationship instead of considering a harder truth or trying to force a way of working when really it might not no longer be aligned.
This doesn’t mean you need to give up, stop trying. Practical responsibility is a necessary part of life!!
Switch instead, and notice whether (in a certain area of your life) constant fixing has become the way you avoid admitting that something hurts.
This Eclipse and its fated ways may help you separate what still requires a plan from what now requires release.

12th House Activation
This Lunar Eclipse in Pisces is activating your 12th house, bringing something into focus around rest, endings, healing, solitude, hidden stress and the parts of your life that exist behind the scenes.
My Q to U:
Where have you been trying to push through something that actually needs rest, space or emotional acknowledgement?
Action:
The 12th house is where the body and mind process what has been carried quietly, so this Eclipse may reveal where constant activity has become a way of avoiding exhaustion, grief or an ending you have not fully made space for. To act from your highest version here is to stop treating rest as a reward and begin responding honestly to what your inner world is asking you to slow down, release or approach differently.
Prompts:
Where have I been pushing through what actually needs rest?
What have I been carrying quietly?
Which ending have I not fully acknowledged?
Where am I using busyness to avoid feeling?

My Q to U:
Which friendship, community or future vision have you been trying to make work even though it no longer feels reciprocal or true?
Action:
The 11th house is where your future meets the people around you, so this Eclipse may reveal where you have been over-functioning inside a friendship, group or community in order to preserve belonging.

My Q to U:
What part of your public life are you still trying to perfect when the real issue is that it no longer feels meaningful?
Action:
The 10th house is where your work becomes visible, so this Eclipse may reveal where you have been refining, managing or performing a professional identity that no longer reflects your actual direction.

The 9th house is where you build meaning, so this Eclipse may reveal where a belief, path, teacher or future vision has become difficult to keep defending.

Action:
The 8th house is where life becomes shared, so this Eclipse may reveal where money, trust, intimacy or emotional responsibility has become too vague or complicated to keep managing silently.

My Q to U:
Which relationship have you been trying to fix when what you really need is to acknowledge how it actually feels?
Action:
The 7th house is where you meet yourself through another person, so this Eclipse may reveal where problem-solving, adapting or being endlessly understanding has prevented you from admitting the emotional truth of a relationship.

Prompts:
Which relationship am I trying to fix alone?
What does this connection actually feel like?
Am I over-adapting? if yes, how? what’s the pattern?
Does a conversation need to happen? If yes, write it out.

Where have you been trying to optimise a routine that your body is already telling you is unsustainable?
Action:
The 6th house is where your life becomes daily practice, so this Eclipse may reveal where constant adjustment, productivity or self-improvement has become a way of avoiding the fact that something is exhausting you.

What would a more supportive daily life look like?

My Q to U:
Where have you been trying to make joy productive, impressive or useful instead of simply allowing yourself to experience it?

The 5th house is where desire and creativity move freely, so this Eclipse may reveal where pleasure, romance or artistic expression has become over-managed by expectations, performance or the need for an outcome.

Which family pattern is affecting me more than I admit?
Where am I maintaining peace at my own expense?

2nd House Activation
This Full Moon in Aquarius is illuminating your 2nd house, bringing a culmination, release or emotional realisation to your money, values, resources, self-worth and the things you have been building your sense of security around.
My Q to U:
Where are you undercharging, overgiving or overworking because you’re afraid support will disappear if you own your true value?
Action:
This is your invitation to take a stock take of what you are still valuing because you were taught to value it. The 2nd house is the place of money, resources, worth and the things that help us feel stable. It shows us what we hold onto, but it also shows us where our sense of security can become shaped by other people’s standards, timelines or definitions of success.
This Full Moon is asking you to notice where your values need more freedom. Where have you been measuring your worth through what looks responsible, impressive or acceptable to others, instead of what actually feels true to you? To act from your highest version here is to release the need to keep proving your value through someone else’s measuring stick, and begin claiming what you actually want to build, receive and protect.
Prompts:
Where am I letting other people’s expectations decide what should matter to me?
What have I been valuing because I was taught to value it?
Where am I measuring my worth through someone else’s definition of success?

What would change if I let my values belong to me again?

1st House Activation
This Full Moon in Aquarius is illuminating your 1st house, bringing a culmination, release or emotional realisation to your identity, body, selfhood, confidence and the way you move through the world as you.
My Q to U:
Where are you still acting like the old you because it keeps everyone else comfortable?
Action:
This is your invitation to take a stock take of the version of yourself you are still performing. The 1st house is deeply personal. It is your body, your identity, your presence and the way life meets you because of how you meet yourself. It shows us who we are becoming, but it can also show us where we keep wearing an old self because it is familiar to the people around us.
This Full Moon is asking you to notice where your identity needs more freedom. Where are you still presenting a version of yourself that helps you stay understood, accepted or easy to place, even though it no longer feels true? To act from your highest version here is to release the need to keep being recognisable to everyone, and let yourself become someone you actually recognise.
Prompts:
Where am I still shaping myself around who people expect me to be, instead of who I actually am now?
What version of me am I still performing because it keeps me recognisable?
Where am I afraid to change because other people might not know how to meet me?
What part of my identity feels too tight, old or over-explained?
Where does my body want more freedom to be honest?
Who am I when I am not trying to be understood?
What would change if I stopped trying to stay recognisable and let myself become real?
-
12th House Activation
This Full Moon in Aquarius is illuminating your 12th house, bringing a culmination, release or emotional realisation to your rest, solitude, dreams, subconscious patterns, private endings and the parts of you that unfold behind the scenes.
My Q to U:
What are you pretending you’ve made peace with, but still think about when everything goes quiet?
Action:
This is your invitation to take a stock take of what has been living beneath the surface. The 12th house is the place of rest, solitude, endings, dreams and the emotional patterns we often do not realise are running the show until we finally get quiet enough to hear them. It shows us what needs compassion, but it also shows us what needs release.
This Full Moon is asking you to notice where your spirit needs more space. Where have you been holding onto a fear, fantasy, grief, attachment or private pressure that no one else can see, but your body can feel? To act from your highest version here is to release the need to keep carrying what has already completed its lesson, and give yourself permission to rest from the invisible weight.
Prompts:
What am I carrying in private that my body is quietly asking me to put down?
What fear, fantasy, grief or attachment has been taking up space beneath the surface?
Where am I exhausted from holding something no one else can see?
What private ending have I been avoiding because I do not know what comes after it?
Where do I need solitude, not to disappear, but to finally hear myself?
What pattern has completed its lesson?
What would change if I let myself rest from the invisible weight?
