Solar Eclipse in Cancer

Leave a reply

Total Solar Eclipse at 24° Cancer in Ashlesha Nakshatra.
August 12, 2026
(9:58 a.m. – 11:34 a.m. PT). On the threshold of the emerging self.

An eclipse means we are at a turning point, and new insights are coming. The tension is between what is familiar (but not entirely healthy) and that which is emerging (but is not yet embodied or familiar).

There is potential for a major release of old patterns (Ashlesha the Snake), and stepping away from old roles (represented by Magha).

The Sun and Moon will meet at the end of sidereal Cancer, (conjunct over gandanta zone) with Ketu (South Node) in Magha Nakshatra. This event will be accompanied by exalted Jupiter and Mercury – making it a complete conjunction of 3 sattvic (happy) planets. 

Hidden truths or challenges surfacing, especially for the “kings” and rulers, since the Sun rules government and Ketu (the cutter) is there. Sun also rules our vitality, heart, backbone, confidence, and energy. This will be blocked by Ketu and can diminish its functions too. 

At a total solar eclipse, light energy is weakened, and darkness briefly increases. Rahu (the North Node) is gain and attraction, Ketu (the South Node) is loss and repulsion. This eclipse is aligned with Ketu – which wants to cut and liberate.

Ketu is occultism, witchcraft, magic and spirituality; compulsive and unconscious  behaviors, mental illness, fears, nightmares, addiction,  bad habits, poisons, parasites and theft.

Full Moon in Capricorn

Full Moon at 11° Capricorn, Wednesday, July 29th, 2026
Nakshatra: Shravana

The Full Moon in Capricorn is directly opposite the Sun/Jupiter in Cancer. This is one of the most charged lunations of the year. Moon is conjunct retrograde Pluto.

The Moon’s conjunction to Pluto is the heart of this lunation’s intensity. Pluto works underground, in the roots, in the places we don’t examine until something forces us to. When the Moon meets Pluto, our feelings go deep into truth. What comes up this week has been fermenting for months, maybe longer, in the unconscious. Pluto conjunct the Moon asks for total honesty about what we feel, not the curated version, not the version that keeps the peace. Issues around control, power, loyalty, or survival demand your full expression rather than your “management”.

Across from that Moon-Pluto conjunction sits the Sun fused with Jupiter in Cancer… so close to exact that traditional astrologers call it cazimi. Jupiter is purified in the Sun’s fire, amplifying every Cancerian theme of security, home environment, and emotionally safety. The Sun-Jupiter conjunction wants to expand, to trust, and to believe. Opposite the Moon’s meeting with Pluto, this creates real tension between the impulse toward more light and the pull toward the depths. Cancer says FEEL, Pluto says first tell the truth about what’s buried. Both are necessary, and this full moon holds them in the sky at the same time.

The Moon trine Uranus during this lunation offers a doorway through the intensity. Uranus in Gemini opens channels of sudden insight, conversations that shift something, information that arrives right on time. If the Moon-Pluto conjunction brings the depth and the Sun-Jupiter conjunction brings the expansion, the trine to Uranus lets a genuine breakthrough instead of just building pressure. Pay attention to what clicks into place during these days almost by accident. That’s the trine doing its work.

Ritually, this is a full moon for truth telling rather than performance. Write down what you’ve been avoiding feeling. Name the resentments you have about power dynamics in your own life – whether that’s in a relationship, a workplace, or your relationship to your own authority. Then ask what to build from that honesty. Held together, under a Capricorn Moon, that death and that expansion serve something bigger than either one alone: a self strong enough to shine, and generous enough to shine for more than itself.

Full Moon in Scorpio

Full Moon at 14° Scorpio (sidereal) tonight at 1:45am. It falls in the nakshatra of Anuradha – the place of belonging, friendship and devotion. This brings healing energy around connections, friendships, and communities. We find a sense of who we are in relation to others; it helps us tune in to where we belong. With Scorpio we need to be acknowledged, to correct injustice, and to have our boundaries respected.

SCORPIO = regeneration, transformation, rebirth, boundaries, sex, and the occult. Scorpio Moon can bring up issues around power and control.

We can see clearly through illusion. It is important to vibrate high and stay away from toxic people and situations.

Scorpio can be as intense as it sounds. Avoid social complications this weekend, however It’s possible to deeply connect with a lover or companion. This is a weekend to go within and explore your own triggers, face your fears, swim through your own depths and rebirth yourself. Scorpio is a psychological sign, and the Full Moon will illuminate the depths of your psyche.

This Full Moon is further enhanced by Scorpio’s ruler, Mars, in it’s natural rulership of Aries. After slogging around in Pisces for several weeks, the warrior planet is finding traction and direction. You’ll find you can make forward progress on things that have felt held up or stuck. We can easily access our truth, self confidence, and precise boundary setting. Mars is asking you to look at your goals too; are they in alignment with your highest self?

Look at your energy and drive because they are valuable. Is your current job or project worth what you’re spending the time on? Do you need to make a change?

What about your ambitions, life path and direction? Are they aligned with the life and world you want to create?

Saturn and Neptune are still traveling together in the watery, nebulous energy of Pisces. Saturn is being challenged to hold structure in what is completely unknown (Pisces). This relates to AI and how it pushes the edge of reality. Be aware that what you think might be real may not be real at all. What is true in one way can be completely differently true in another way. It’s rare to have Saturn and Neptune together in Pisces. It gives us the ability to see illusion for what it really is, and that is liberating.

Current SIDEREAL placements. Sidereal is different than traditional tropical astrology because it’s based on where the planets actually ARE in the constellations:

Sun at 14 Taurus
Mercury at 2 Gemini (Rulership! Excellent time for Mercury magick)
Venus at 19 Gemini
Mars at 13 Aries (great for Mars magick)
Jupiter at 29 Gemini (in its detriment. No Jupiter magick)
Saturn at 17 Pisces
Uranus at 7 Taurus
Neptune at 9 Pisces (rulership)
Pluto RETROGRADE at 10 Capricorn
North Node at 9 Aquarius

Lucky Girl Syndrome

Leave a reply

…”when you start believing that good things are possible for you, it’s not just wishful thinking, it’s setting yourself up for actual change, because you are believing it on an emotional level too. 

Here’s some inspiration to get you started:

  • I am so lucky.
  • Everything always works out the best for me.
  • My dreams are coming true.
  • I am attracting unconditional love.
  • I have everything I need (this one is a game-changer).

Yes, it sounds cheesy. Yes, it’s kind of like telling yourself you’re a rockstar before you actually hit the stage. But trust me, it works. And it’s all about repetition, consistency, and truly believing that the universe is on your side.

Now, here’s where we need to draw the line: toxic positivity. No one should be pressured to be happy 100% of the time, and honestly, that’s not what lucky girl syndrome is about. Life isn’t always sunshine and rainbows, and that’s okay. Sometimes you’re going to feel all the feelings, anger, frustration, sadness, and that’s just part of the ride.

The key is to balance the good with the not-so-good. You don’t have to fake it. It’s about allowing yourself to feel what you feel while also knowing that good things are on the horizon. That’s the true magic of lucky girl syndrome.”

Feeling lucky? Well, you should be.
Feeling lucky? Well, you should be.

The Full Moon occured this morning around 5am PST at 18° Aries. It’s a Supermoon – the biggest and brightest full moon of 2025. This Moon brings peak experiences with exploration, physicality, courage, and our personal story. Aries is a fiery sign, and indicates new clarity and energy. Since this Full Moon takes place in the area of the sky known as Bharani, regeneration is highlighted. It’s a time of accepting endings, and nurturing new beginnings.

Today is also Kartik Purnima, one of the most sacred full moon days in the Hindu calendar, it symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness. It is the “Diwali of the Gods”, marking the day when gods are believed to descend on earth to celebrate Diwali on the banks of the Ganga. Burn some candles today.

There’s also a meteor shower tonight, bringing more light to the sky. It’s an opportunity to bring more light into our lives. Several planets are in extaordinarily positive positions right now, we can make real progress on things that are important to us.

“Obscurity of a Honeymoon” by MICHAEL CHEVAL

CURRENTLY:
Sun at 4 Libra (in it’s fall, no Sun Magick now)
Mercury DIRECT at 26 Libra
Venus at 15 Virgo (in her fall, don’t do Venus Magick)
Mars at 26 Libra (debilitated, no Mars Magick)

We begin this week with a New Moon at 4° Libra, AND the auspicious Diwali festival of light! This New Moon is important on a spiritual level because it comes with Diwali, which symbolizes light overcoming darkness, and knowledge overcoming ignorance. It is a huge festival celebrated over several days, and is associated with Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity, and Ganesha, the god of wisdom and the remover of obstacles.

This New Moon brings hope, and has a spark of divine light. It occurs near the star Chitra, which is the star of opportunity. It brings the power of Vishwakarma – the deity of innovative designs and crafting. Also, Jupiter, the planet of luck and wisdom, has just entered Cancer! This is a high placement, and Jupiter is exalted, giving his wisdom and light in the most nourishing ways! It happens only once every 12 years too, so this is a great transit.

Give yourself time to reflect on how you’d like the upcoming Moon cycle to go. If you’d like a personal reading on how this Libra cycle will affect you, book a reading with me here.

Oct. 21 could be a good night to see a comet

Hekate, Keeper of the Keys 🗝✨🗝✨🗝

Hecate: Triple-Bodied Greek Goddess of Witchcraft and Keeper of Keys

Hecate the goddess of Greek mythology has been primarily remembered for her associations with magic and witchcraft. Throughout history however, her sphere of influence also included the moon, night, crossroads, boundaries, ghosts and necromancy. Although Hecate was once considered to be a powerful Greek goddess of witchcraft, Hecate was not a major deity when compared, for instance, to the Twelve Olympians.

There are therefore few myths which revolve around this Greek goddess of magic. Nevertheless, the goddess Hecate plays a particularly important role in the Greek myth which relates the abduction of Persephone. It is also from this myth that the quintessential representation of Hecate, as a goddess holding a flaming torch in each hand, is derived.

The Powers of Hecate, the Greek Goddess of Witchcraft

It is generally believed that the goddess Hecate was the daughter of Perses and Asteria, both of whom were from the second generation of Titans. Nevertheless, some have claimed that she was the daughter of Zeus and either Hera or Pheraea. Yet others have stated that she was a daughter either of Leto or of Tartarus.

In any case, it is widely accepted that Hecate the goddess was not originally a member of the Greek pantheon. In fact, her cult is said to have originated in ancient Thrace, or perhaps in Caria, Anatolia. The original worshippers of Hecate believed that the goddess had power over heaven, earth, and the seas, thus making her an incredibly powerful goddess.

Hecate, whose name came from the Greek word hekatos meaning “worker from afar,” had the power not only to bestow upon those she favored wealth, good fortune, and wisdom, but also to withhold these gifts from those she perceived as unworthy. She was honored by all the gods, including Zeus. As she sided with the Olympians during the Titanomachy, she was the only member of the old regime who retained her powers following the defeat of the Titans.

Within ancient Greek religion Hecate had many different roles, as goddess not just of witchcraft, but also of magic, spells, the night, ghosts, light, necromancy, and even the moon. She was also seen as a goddess of oikos, meaning the household and family, and doorways. Some have even connected her to Artemis, who was portrayed in a similar style, with boots, torches and dogs.

Due to her extensive powers, Hecate has been confused and identified with several other deities throughout history. For instance, as a goddess of nature, she was identified with Demeter, whilst as a moon goddess, she has been identified with Persephone.

Full Moon today at 19 Pisces! Try to get outside and into the light of this full moon, because it brings blessings of the wealth goddess Lakshmi. This full moon rains down the “nectar of immortality” that rejuvenates, heals, and gives promise for the future. Set an intention for revisualizing your life. The choices that you’re making this week are BLESSED. This is a great night to charge water, sweet milk or gemstones in the light of the Moon.

Saturn is close to this full moon – you might even see it dimly nearby. There’s something about understanding the structure and limitations of what we are facing, and of the new path we are embarking on. Also, Venus is very close to Ketu (the South Node of the Moon), which activates patterns in relationships. We can see our patterns clearly now and take steps to shift them if needed.

Ready for a change? This is a time of letting go after our recent series of eclipses. Tonight’s full moon brings in the energy of renewal and recalibration towards a new vision. There is a new plan going forward, and we can embrace it. We just passed the Autumn Equinox which is equal day and equal night. This is a time of balance as we pass through the portal between Summer and the darker months. We are inspired to clean up our lives and get everything in order. Pisces is a water sign, and symbolizes the collective unconscious, tidal waves, chaos, the ocean, intuition, surrender, and connection with the divine.

Virgo is ruled by Mercury, the winged messenger of thought and communication. With the Sun and Mercury in Virgo, our minds are at their peak and we can be decisive. The decisions you make now, determine your future path.

Sun in Virgo means to discern, analyze, discriminate and assimilate. We need to take care of ourselves and each other. Virgo is a sign of health, work, and being of service. We are preparing to focus on ‘relationships’ when the Sun goes into Libra soon. How we enter the world needs to be thought out, planned and disciplined in Virgo.

On Sunday we had a Full Moon Eclipse in Aquarius. Moon conjunct Rahu (North Node). You had to be in Asia, Australia, or Africa to see it ❤ The energies of this eclipse are unfolding for ALL of us this week. What are your commitments to friends, groups or projects? Your plans for the future? Perhaps getting out and protesting for important causes? These are general themes this eclipse season is kicking up for us.

This Full Moon is a portal that all of us pass through. Because it’s in the sign of Aquarius, in the nakshatra Purva Bhadrapada, it is VERY fiery. It symbolizes a funeral pyre – the fire that separates the soul from the body. There is a strong emphasis on spiritual awakening leading to a powerful rebirth. It brings breakthroughs, courageous life changes and transformation; prompting individuals to break from conventional paths. Eclipses bring a stronger momentum to liberate oneself from old patterns. Eclipses are the power of shadow overtaking light.

This is a powerful time for setting intentions of transformation and liberation from the past. The axis of Rahu (future) and Ketu (past) is now lined up in Aquarius and Leo, which enhances social movements. It’s great for activism, but there’s also a risk of obsessiveness. Who we are as a collective, and how we are governed, is going through massive shifts.

Normally I would say “Sun’s in Leo! Do Sun Magick!” BUT NOT THIS YEAR. Ketu, the South Node of the Moon, is transiting the sign of Leo until Dec. 2026, which strangely enough, diminishes the power of kings. It’s a strange time for Leos, or anyone with Leo rising. The combination of Ketu’s detached, introspective energy with Leo’s vibrant but ego-driven nature encourages spiritual growth and the pursuit of a deeper, more intrinsic understanding of self. It’s not a time to be flashy, but to lead with compassion.

Also, if you have any planets around 6° or any sign, they are getting strongly activated right now. Put your energy towards wrapping up past projects that have been bugging you for awhile. Nurture yourself with good food and rest.

Current SIDEREAL placements. Sidereal is different than traditional tropical astrology, because it’s based on where the planets actually ARE in the constellations:

Sun at 0 Cancer
Mercury at 20 Cancer
Venus at 18 Taurus (in her rulership, good for Venus Magick)
Mars at 21 Leo
Jupiter at 13 Gemini (in detriment, no Jupiter Magick now)
Saturn RETROGRADE at 7 Pisces

The vedic astrological signatures for July are interesting, so much so I have to share what I’ve discovered! Let me know in the comments if you’ve found any of this happening in your life. The New Moon in Cancer will be Thursday, July 24th.

The strongest energy this month is occuring in the sign of Leo. Since everyone has Leo in their chart somewhere, it’s affecting you. In Jyotish, or Vedic astrology, both Mars and Ketu are sharp, fiery signs. They BOTH rule knives, needles… anything pointy. What does this mean? Everything associated with Leo right now is sharp as hell: creative projects, ideas, art, and performances will be amazing to watch since musicians and artists are sharply focused, unified, and on point.

However, the actions of Leo actually manifest in the sign of Libra, so this is a tough time for partnerships (Libra). There is sharp energy aimed Libra, which can cause fights and break ups in any type of partnership. Careful what you say to your partner right now. This energy will keep building until the conjunction of Rahu and Mars on July 20th. If you want to know how this specifically affects your chart, schedule a reading with me here.

Saturn and Neptune are stationing retrograde right now in a conjunction at 7 Pisces. This is a water sign, AND these two planets stationing (standing still) together are affecting the water element, as you’ve seen with the destructive floods lately. Right now it’s hard to find the edge between truth and reality, and many people are feeling lost. On top of that, Mercury is going retrograde in Cancer next week, further disturbing the water element. I you want a quick reading on how Saturn in Pisces will affect you over the next two years, and what you can do about it, book a reading with me here.

Be gentle with yourself and others ❤
