My friend, are you ready for another intense month? Because August feels like a continuation of July with a climax, with a crescendo moment, making this a transformational month for all signs. We're going to have two very dramatic eclipses. A solar eclipse triggering the intensity of Pluto. The fixed signs will feel this the most. A lunar eclipse involving wildcard Uranus transits. The mutable signs will feel the lunar eclipse the most. Plus, Mercury will finally be direct, but it will change signs twice during the month. Mars is going to enter Cancer. Venus is going to move into Libra. Both will trigger the intensity of Saturn and Neptune. The cardinal signs will feel these transits the most. So, you can see that August has the potential to be one of those months that we look back on and say, "That's when things really shifted for me. That's when the writing was on the wall. That's when I really had to make a change." This is likely to be a month of breakdowns leading to breakthroughs and ultimately a chance to take back your power and soar forward with enthusiasm and maybe even glee into your next chapter. So, this and more is what I'm super excited to share with you in this video as we go through the key transits and dates. So, grab a pen and paper or your laptop and stay tuned to the end so you don't miss my tips for navigating these wild card energies with the most ease, peace, and grace.

Now to set the stage for the month of August. As I am filming this video, the sun has just left watery emotional Cancer and entered fiery, bold, courageous, "look, ma, no hands" Leo. The sun will be in Leo for the first three weeks of August. And Mercury will have stationed direct as well. That happened July 23rd. That's a big hurray for any of you who felt that Mercury retrograde. I definitely felt it intensely myself. Any of you with strong energies in the cardinal signs, you could have really felt that extra intensity not only from Saturn and Neptune, which has been going on, but then adding that Cancer Mercury retrograde into the mix. Not for the faint of heart. We will have also at the beginning of August just moved through a full moon in Aquarius conjunct Pluto. This will have been an extremely intense full moon given that Pluto also made an opposition to the sun and Jupiter in Leo as well. And I did do a separate video for you on that Aquarius full moon if you want to check that out with readings for all 12 signs.
So, I'm giving you this backdrop because I find it interesting that we don't have a significant transit for August until August 6th. So, we are catching our breath. The first several days of August, we're catching our breath after that very intense Aquarius full moon. On August 6th, Venus will leave Earth sign Virgo and enter air sign Libra. How has Venus in Virgo been for you, my friend? I have noticed that it has been great for getting things accomplished, for taking care of those things that maybe you have put off, for cleansing, for clearing, for purifying, especially clearing clutter, emotional, mental, spiritual, all kinds of clutter, right? However, Venus and Virgo could have also taken you into analysis paralysis, could have made you feel more anxious, especially because Mercury has been retrograde and Venus in Virgo, Virgo is ruled by Mercury. So that was kind of a double dose of that Mercury retrograde kind of energy in a sense.
Now we're moving into Venus and Libra, which is going to help us to restore balance and harmony because Libra is connected to partnerships. Libra is connected to relationships in which we have a commitment. There's a mutuality. I have your back. You have my back. We take care of one another in a sense. And it is also connected to contracts and agreements. So now that Mercury is direct, this is a good time with Venus and Libra to go forward on signing any contracts or making any agreement, any agreements that maybe you put off when Mercury was retrograde. This is also a good time to get advice because advisors fall within this Libra energy, especially when you think of Libra as those scales as balance and equanimity, and it's, you know, the scales are the scales of justice. So that is why especially if there's somebody that has specific expertise that you need right now, Venus in Libra is a really good time to go after that.
On August 8th, one of my favorite transits of the entire month is the Lion's Gate Portal, the 8/8 Lion's Gate Portal representing abundance. 8 is the infinity symbol as well. It's the idea that energy is always flowing, always moving in and out and circulating. And if we just keep energy in circulation rather than being in that mindset of lack, if we stay in that mindset of flow, we can experience this wonderful Lion's Gate Leo expansion, abundance, claiming your spiritual royalty, rising to the occasion, upleveling your own sense of receiving. That's another really good way to use this energy and to think of this as your heart's desire because Leo is connected to the heart. Leo is ruled by the sun. It is your heart's true longing or your heart's deepest calling. And the Lion's Gate Portal truly is that eight energy. You know, eight is also material security. 8 is also connected to luck and good fortune. So this is a good time leading up to August 8th, during August 8th, even as we are moving out of that portal energy and we are in the eclipse portal this whole month as well. And this Lion's Gate portal will be just 4 days before the first eclipse, and the first eclipse is in Leo too. Even between the August 8th Lion's Gate portal and the eclipse on the 12th, that feels like double portal energy to me, the Lion's Gate and the eclipse portal. So this is where we have an opportunity to, as we hey, move through that wormhole of possibility, that new timeline, that new, you know, it's hard to put words to. I feel it as I'm as I'm speaking it to you. I'm channeling it as I speak it to you. But to put actual words to it is very challenging because it's not of this world. It's not of this world. But, you know, it's kind of like if you've ever seen a movie where people have slipped through the cracks and they end up in a whole different world, a whole different timeline, a whole different, you know, maybe they go back to the past or maybe they go into the future. But the idea is that power that we have to use our imagination. And the imagination in this earthly realm, we, it gets a bad rap because we all your imagination, we don't get that credit. The imagination is how we create our world. It's how we create our own experience of life and how we're experiencing our life in every moment. It all begins with the imagination. It's just we weren't taught that. So, something to keep in mind with this very powerful mindscape portal and eclipse portal energy. Success, material expansion. Your heart has the power 5,000 times greater than your intellect to attract to you what you most desire. Use this time, my friend. Use this time to get into the vortex, as Abraham Hicks calls it, and really imagine, sense, feel that you have what your heart most desires. And this is especially potent right now because of this cradle energy that I talked about in July's video, the cradle, Barbau's basket, the magic triangle, lots of different ways that we've talked about it. But that energy, and I'm feeling that now intensely because when I'm filming this video, we are in that cradle very intensely. All outer planets at four degrees. It's really the foundation of expansion. It's the foundation of a new creative project, goal, vision, and it's very solid. The number four, it's a very strong foundation that precedes, you know, preceded the month of August. Something to keep in mind there as well.
Now on August 9th, Mercury is going to leave Cancer and enter Leo. Remember, Mercury is retrograde in Cancer as well. Mercury was in Cancer and will be until August 9th for 2 months and about 9-10 days. That's a long time to have Mercury in one sign. So, we're leaving that very emotional, nostalgic emotions, our energy in motion, just letting those emotions leave our body because they have to, you know, we have to let we have to let things purify. We have to cleanse. So, it's been a very cleansing time for us with Mercury in Cancer, but now it's going to enter Leo. So, we're going to go with our thoughts, our thinking, our communication is going to leave the realm of water and it's going to go into the realm of fire. And the realm of fire is transformation, inspiration, vitality, excitement, enthusiasm. Leo, where we rise to the occasion, where we gather our strength, where we call on our courage and we sometimes follow a calling. So, you could feel that, too. And this is great news to have Mercury leave the watery realm of Cancer and go into fire. If you have felt a bit water submerged, if you have, you're ready to not put so much energy into moving your emotions. Mercury in Leo can be quite wonderful, feel-good energy. It can be hardworking for sure, but and it can be strong leadership energy, but it can also be potentially having more fun, certainly than a Mercury retrograde for sure.
So, this leads us to the power days of the 10th, 11th, and 12th. We're going to have three what I'm calling power days, and these lead us up to the solar eclipse on August 12th. August 10th, Venus in Libra will oppose Neptune in Aries. And this is one of those transits that the cardinal signs are going to feel the most. I'm holding this to ground my energy because the energy is intense. And I channel the energy that of the month. I feel it in my own body. So this is helping to ground me. Venus in Libra wants loveliness, wants harmony, wants everybody to have a good time. Opposing Neptune in Aries. Neptune in Aries represents that dream that was jumpstarted when both Saturn and Neptune came together and alchemized a new possibility for each and every one of us in the Aries area of our chart. You can watch my video on the Saturn Neptune conjunction in Aries and that will give you more information on that. But basically when Venus opposes Neptune and if Neptune is representing our dream or our vision or our goal, this is going to take us our focus there. Now Neptune could also take your focus to the divine. Neptune could also take your focus to a love because Neptune can be where we just get lost in love. We fall madly in love. We we fall head over heels. We've never met a person like this before. where we're just in dreamy dreamy land or we are escaping some form of escape. You know, Neptune can be where we just I just got the image of somebody driving around. It's Aries, so I got the image of someone driving around a racetrack and just going really, really fast. When there's an opposition though between Venus and Neptune, it can be as we say the bubble gets burst. The rose-colored glasses come off. We are disappointed. We are just disillusioned. We can even feel like we've been deceived. And it's Venus. So that would be in matters of love, money, beauty, relationships. I hope that doesn't happen to you, my friend. I hope that doesn't happen to any of us. But this is how we prepare, right? We prepare by knowing this is what's going on. And you know, just putting both feet on the ground, keeping ourselves grounded, especially in Aries energy.
The same day, because remember this is a power time, so we're having multiple transits. The same day, Venus will in Libra will trine Pluto in Aquarius. So we actually have a really positive transit here with Venus trining Pluto. Strong, passionate call. Pluto is passion or pain. We get to choose. Pulled forward by a passionate vision or pushed by pain. Regardless, Pluto wants us to go through some sort of transformation. We are shedding an old skin. We are stepping into our new, a new level of our soul's evolution with Pluto. Venus trine Pluto, that can also be passionate love for sure. Sometimes we need to set boundaries with Venus trine Pluto, sometimes, and this would be around anything Venusian. So again, love, money, beauty, pleasure, or it can be just something that your heart really, really wants. It doesn't have to be love-related, of course. Could be money-related, especially with Pluto and Aquarius.
On August 11th, Mars is going to leave Gemini and enter Cancer. Now, think about this. Mars has been in Gemini. What is Gemini ruled by? Mercury. So, we've had in July, Mars and Gemini ruled by a Mercury ruled sign and Mercury's been retrograde. We've had Venus and Virgo ruled by a Mercury and Mercury's been retrograde. I think the fact that Mercury is direct and we are leaving Gemini energy because it's ruled by Mercury, I think there's going to be some relief there. What I also like about Mars going into Cancer, Mars is going into watery, emotional Cancer. But what I like about that, yes, that is where Mercury's been. That's where we have the Mercury retrograde. That now that we've done the clearing, the cleansing, the purifying, getting stuff done with Mercury retrograde and Cancer. Now that we've done that, what I see here is that Mars moving into Cancer is now I can take action on things that I have clarity on. Now I know what I need to do. More clarity, I think that we have because Mercury has been retrograde going over those same degrees where Mars is going to be traveling as well in Cancer. That's really interesting. And Mars of course rules our action, our mojo, our, you know, desire, strong desire energy. With Mars and Cancer, that takes our focus in a way, it keeps our focus because Mercury's been transiting in Cancer. In a way, it keeps our focus on home, family, emotional security, bonding, things that make us feel, you know, beautifying our homes, creating a sanctuary wherever we are, in our home or when in our office. If you go out to a restaurant, choosing a specific place that you feel good sitting in. Cancer people know what I'm talking about when I say that that's a very Cancer thing. I want to sit there because that feels good. Usually surrounded by at least two walls, like a corner table, perfect kind of Cancer table. And you don't have to have strong Cancer in your chart to relate to anything that I'm saying. We all have Cancer energy somewhere in our natal astrology chart. Meaning that you have 0 to 29 degrees of Cancer in your chart, even if you don't have planets or points there. Okay.
So, we're going to have three different transits the day before the solar eclipse. So, you can see why I'm calling this a power time because in addition to the fact that Mars changes signs on the 11th, we also have three different transits, additional transits happening on that same day. And it's the number 11, which is the veil is thin between the worlds, right? And the veil is already thin between the worlds with eclipses. And this is the day before an eclipse. This I find this all fascinating. The first transit is Mercury in Leo opposing Pluto in Aquarius. This will definitely be the most intense transit. Whenever we have Pluto, that's adds intensity right there. An opposition adds another level of intensity. Mercury conversations, news, information. Somebody says something to you, you hear something from somewhere, you read something and it could ignite a power struggle. It could ignite feelings of powerlessness, emotional upset. Why? Because because Pluto, we often feel powerless with Pluto energy. We often feel like, especially within an opposition, that means it's happening in a relationship. Of course, it could be your relationship to the stock market. It could be your relationship to an institution. It could be your relationship to a significant other, a child, and so forth. But challenging conversations, shocking headlines, bullying or manipulative tactics on the part of someone else, most likely someone else. I'm sure it wouldn't be you, but you know, it this is not going to be good for the financial markets. I hope that I'm wrong about that, but that's what astrology theory would definitely say. The good news is that and so boundaries, boundaries, boundaries, always with Pluto. The good news though is Mercury is going to make a really positive harmonious, better word, harmonious transit to Neptune. It's going to trine Neptune in Aries. So we got two fire signs here. Mercury, this information, conversations, and so on, trining Neptune. I find that fascinating because Neptune is usually something that you know, we really have a dream about this. We really have a, you know, Neptune is the ideal, the best-case scenario. Mercury trining that, maybe it's something else. Maybe something we find out information that shows us this is not where I'm meant to be. This is not right for me. I've got to exit this situation, relationship, whatever it is. And then Mercury gives us other information that is in alignment with what our soul really wants and has been guiding us toward. That could be that could happen too. It's support for our dream goal or vision for sure. Neptune in the Aries part of your chart. And finally, that same day, Venus in Libra will harmonize with Uranus in Gemini. And I love this one because they're both air signs. And this is also those ideas and possibilities and aha moments and revelations that we can get that change everything, right? You know that phrase, "this changes everything." That's so overused. You know, that's kind of the perfect phrase though to use for a Uranus in Gemini transit because it does. It puts our mind in a whole other, it takes our mind to a whole other place. That is when we see with new eyes. So, uh, around this eclipse time, this is the 11th, but around this time, before, after, take advantage of any any novel situation or invitation. This is the time to do something differently for sure. Any new insight that comes your way. You know, sometimes we have those days where we just don't want to go to work or I just don't want to do this or that that I always do. And that's sometimes that's that's something to follow. Something to follow because that's inspiration talking to you. That's the synchronicity, the sign, the divine direction that you're getting to put you on a new course or to have you meet up with someone that you weren't planning to, to have something happen in your life that is that ends up being fortuitous. And then you say, "I'm so glad I said yes to this. I'm so glad I didn't go to work that day. I'm so glad I didn't." You know how many stories of there are of are there of people that say, "If I had gone to work, I would have been, you know, this," or "If I had driven my car that day, I would have potentially gotten stuck because my car was about to break down." I mean, there's so many things, right? So many ways that we are protected by angels, so to speak. So listen to those signs, my friend.
Okay, let's Okay, let's talk about the eclipse. The first eclipse, August 12th, the new moon solar eclipse in Leo. Solar eclipses are new beginnings. They're the beginning of a fresh chapter. But it's not just like a new moon, which is where we seed intentions and we get clear on what our hearts most want and we get that in motion by clarifying and declaring what we want. It's not just that. It's an eclipse, meaning that it is connected to the lunar nodes, the North and South Node. It's in Leo, so that would be the South Node. We are meant to release the shadow of the South Node. And we are meant to say yes to the new Aquarius energy, and Aquarius is involved here. And I'll tell you why in a moment. So it is a new beginnings, new chapter, but fate and destiny are involved with all eclipses because they, it's the lunar nodes connection to the sun and the moon that make it an eclipse in the first place. Leo themes: courage, strength, leadership, heads of state, kings and queens. You know, it's your own inner spiritual royalty too. But often we find out, you know, big things can happen on the world stage with uh solar eclipses and especially in Leo. Celebrities, influencers, people, famous people. This will be a dramatic eclipse. Why? Because Mercury in Leo will be opposing Pluto in Aquarius. And that already happened. I just talked about that. It happened right before the eclipse, but it's going to be very much in orb and and active during this eclipse. However, what I love in terms of stability and support is that Mercury in Leo, Venus in Libra, Uranus in Gemini, and Neptune in Aries will all harmonize. And that is that cradle energy. They're all going to be at 4 degrees or close to 4 degrees. We also have a sextile, an opportunity or solution, something that we need to take initiative on, but when we do make some sort of take some sort of step, then we get good stuff, so to speak. Then it comes, we get something in tangible form that is a result of our effort. Mars in Cancer will make a beautiful sextile to Chiron in Taurus. So that's something that's going to help us to feel more emotionally secure. Mars in Cancer, Chiron in Taurus could be related to something Venusian for you. Money, love, beauty, pleasure, the good life, whatever the good life is for you, my friend. Who will most feel the solar eclipse in Leo? It's happening at 20 degrees, a very sensitive degree. The two amplified by the zero. If you have planets or points in your natal chart between 16 and 24 degrees, 16 and 24 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, or Scorpio, you will feel that eclipse most intensely.
On August 16th, Mercury will make a conjunction to Jupiter in Leo. Now, at first sight, it's like wonderful. Jupiter in Leo, expansive, optimistic, hopeful, good fortune, blessings. Mercury making a conjunction to Jupiter can go either way though because Jupiter expands what it touches. So while it's generally positive and feel-good information, ideas, something that feels like a blessing, if whatever is coming out and being spoken is something that you find negative or something that causes a division in the collective or causes upset in the collective, you know, on the world stage and so on, then it can just be amplified drama and it can be, you know, difficult. So we want to keep that in mind. But if you have something to launch that is expansive to you that you want to that you think other people are going to receive beautifully, then that could be a really good day to do it. Mercury's direct now. August, the next day, August 17th, we have three transits in one day, another power period. Mars in Cancer, and this is the cardinal signs are going to feel this the most. Mars in Cancer will square Neptune in Aries. And as a refresher, cardinal signs are Libra, Aries, Capricorn, and Cancer. So, Mars squaring Neptune. Again, Neptune, the dream, vision, or goal that you have in the Aries part of your chart. Squares are not necessarily bad. They just produce a certain amount of tension or pressure that get us moving, that get us into action. So, we take action during a square. And it's Neptune. So there could be disappointment or your, you know, your bubble is burst. Something shows up as not the ideal that you thought it was going to be or new information that you didn't have before that that makes it feel less desirable or less secure to you emotionally because in Cancer energy, we need to feel secure with our dream goal or vision and whatever we're doing. However, there will be two other harmonious transits that are going to support us. One is Mercury in Leo trining Saturn. That's really good for our foundation. Saturn, the four corners of something, a plan, the architect's blueprints. Saturn is the solid foundation underneath whatever it is that we are creating. And Mercury again, information, possibilities, conversations, communications, very supportive of a long-term sustainable whatever you're doing. We also have that day Venus in Libra sexiling Jupiter. So this is an opportunity or a solution. It's Venus in Libra. So again, balance, harmony, beauty, you know, beautifying Libra energy can be quite excellent design. So, this can be because it's a sextile, something that really moves you forward and it feels quite expansive to you. Sexile Jupiter, really uplifting, an uplifting boost of faith for a lot of us, and I love that.
Now, on August 21st, we're going to have another tension-filled transit that involves the cardinal signs. And this is again Venus in Libra. Now, it's opposing Saturn in Aries. You could feel this in your relationships. We tend to feel those oppositions in this way, or it could be an opposition between two parts of yourself or two parts of your life, such as home, family versus work or career. And Saturn in Aries, though it is about a foundation of plan or a goal. Venus in Libra, she has her own, you know, mindset about how things are going to go, right? Venus in Libra wants again that equality, that balance, feeling like things are fair. Fairness is going to be very important to us this month with Venus in Libra. And so something has to get worked out here. Something may have to be rebalanced, or Venus in Libra, the Venus in you may have to speak your mind, or maybe the Saturn in Aries in you is is setting a boundary because Saturn is always a call to be really clear on our boundaries. And you know, with a Venus Saturn opposition, sometimes it can just feel like, oh, I was so excited about this. I was just I was just on cloud nine and now I'm coming down. I'm coming down. It feels can feel like coming down with a thud. But sometimes we need that. And I don't like those words, "reality check." But sometimes we need a bit of a coming back down to earth to see the truth, see the lay of the land, not be in this place of out of touch with reality, right? We do want to be in touch with what we're working with. That actually can create more security in the long run for us.
Now, the last week of August, beginning August 22nd, is a big turning point in the astrology of the month. And that's because the sun is going to enter Virgo on August 22nd. And the mutable signs are going to begin to feel this energy of a lot of mutable transits happening, transits in mutable signs, including the lunar eclipse in Pisces. So, the sun will enter Virgo. It's going to leave fiery Leo. Leo can be quite uplifting energy. Virgo energy is very different. It's not that Virgo can't be uplifting too. It's that Virgo has a whole different lens that it looks through. Virgo is earth. It's the body. It's our health and our wellness on all levels. Virgo is connected to yoga, walks in nature, grounding our energy, pulling up resources like just with our using our breath, pulling up the health and the nourishment of Mother Earth. Virgo is very connected to everything that can help us thrive. Thriving in our daily work, thriving in our daily, you know, living by our own inner rhythm, Virgo energy. Our pets, our pets are connected to Virgo energy. So, in a sense, it's it's quieter. It's definitely quieter energy than dramatic Leo for sure, but it's also where we show up every day, one foot, one foot in front of the other. We show up every day and we're steadfast. Virgo is the good, loyal soldier, excellent worker. Everybody wants a Virgo working for them. And we all have Virgo somewhere in our chart. And I don't mean planets or points necessarily. I mean Virgo energy. Virgos are very dependable. The Virgo place in your chart is where you're more likely to be dependable. You're more likely to sometimes sacrifice for others. We don't want to do that anymore. We don't want to sacrifice too much. You know, a certain amount of sacrifice if it's coming from the heart and it's really what we're doing consciously, that's one thing. But with an eclipse that's going to involve Virgo energy, that theme of not oversacrificing, not being too self-critical, not giving away energy that we don't have, not letting ourselves be drained by our desire to be there for others, our desire to be considered the good worker or the one that can be relied on or, you know, the person that's going to save the day. We don't, that that's a big theme for this month as well. So keep in mind that the sun is going to transit the house of your chart in which Venus in Virgo was transiting in July. And you might want to look back and say, "Was there anything I really wanted answers on when Venus was transiting in Virgo? Is there anything that was really up for me in the Virgo area of my chart where I felt stuck, where I was anxious, where I had analysis paralysis, maybe where I was being too critical of myself or too hard on myself?" The sun here, the sun following in the footsteps of Venus could shine further light on this for you. And also, Virgo is the archetype of the practical healer, healing ourselves and helping others to heal as well. On it doesn't have to be a traditional healing path or traditional healing profession for our own energy, for people being in our energy to receive healing from us. Right? So that theme of purifying and cleansing and detoxing is part of this month once we have the sun move into Virgo as well on the 22nd.
And then on the 23rd, the sun is going to make a beautiful trine, speaking of healing, a beautiful trine to Chiron, the planet of the wounded healer. We all have a core wound. We all came in with one to this lifetime of abandonment, betrayal, or shame. The sun is going to help us heal that core wound as it makes a lovely trine, ease and flow, the wind at our back, to Chiron in Taurus. And Chiron in Taurus is connected to Venusian matters, love, money, beauty, pleasure. So I've mentioned those Venusian themes multiple times in this video, right? This is something that many of us will feel during this month. I love that trine for our healing.
August 25th, Mercury is going to leave Leo and enter Virgo. So now you can see the planets are starting to move from multiple planets in Leo. They're going to move into Virgo. Keep in mind that Virgo is ruled by Mercury. Mercury is very much at home in Virgo energy. Does this mean that we're not going to have analysis paralysis or be suddenly not self-critical? You're like, "that's suddenly not self-critical, that we're going to be less hard on ourselves?" Is that is that what I'm saying? Not necessarily. Because even though Virgo is ruled by Mercury and very comfortable here, it doesn't mean that we can't still get overly focused on details. We could still lose the forest from the trees, as we say. But all in all, Mercury transiting in Virgo will definitely be an upgrade from Mercury retrograde in Cancer. I believe.
On August 27th, we're now very much in the eclipse energy. That's when we have the eclipse, the lunar eclipse in Pisces. However, the sun is going to make a conjunction to Mercury in Virgo. And that's something important to keep in mind because often when we have a Mercury cazimi like this, it's known for clarity. We're more likely to get clarity when the sun and Mercury are conjunct. So that's a very supportive part of this eclipse. But, and this is a big but, because Mercury is going to oppose the moon during the lunar eclipse, and because Uranus will be squaring off with Mercury, the sun, and the moon, this is going to be a doozy of an eclipse. It really is going to be a challenging eclipse for anyone that has planets or points around the eclipse degrees, which I will get to in a moment. Lunar eclipses signify endings, full circle moments, culminations, something getting eclipsed out of our life. That is a lunar eclipse. It could be a person, a relationship, something that's unhealthy for you, something that ends because it's it's it's always on a soul level time for it to end. It's always on a soul level time for us to graduate from that soul lesson. But on a human level, it's hard for our human self, right? Because on a human level, change is hard for most of us. It is even in mutable energy. Change tends to be easier in mutable energy because mutable is about transitioning through change. But it's still oftentimes not easy for our human self to acclimate to the change, especially when Uranus is involved. So, we really want to be conscious of grounding our energy during this time. And I'm just getting this image of these big feet, like like oversized feet, like what you would see in a cartoon, oversized feet with a smaller body, like the feet grounded on the earth. The feet really holding us up. So clearly my guides wanted to send that message to you in a funny way. I like that humor. It can also be a manifestation if I didn't say that.
The eclipses big picture course correct us. They put us where we were meant to be. They pick us up and put us down in the place that is aligned is aligned with our soul. Whether it's in a relationship, a career, a health situation, a a new home, a new place that we want to live, a place where I'm now getting an image of fireworks, you know, where the the fireworks can go off, the celebration can happen, the the destiny of our soul can get ignited by something, usually an event that happens or our mind is we get that epiphany or revelation. And that could happen because Uranus is involved. And Uranus is known for those moments of lightning, a metaphorical lightning strike. That's where we get that illumination. It's where we see with new eyes. We have a, you know, my biggest spiritual awakening was, and this is this is spiritual awakening, Uranus, oftentimes when I, my biggest spiritual awakening was during meditation and I was meditating a lot during that time. And, you know, I don't remember an hour, two hour meditation. And wow, it was a feeling of, "Oh my gosh, we're not here for the reason I thought we were here. It's not just," and I know this is not a small thing, so I don't even like using the word "just," but it's not just so that we can have our dreams fulfilled and, you know, raise families and get good jobs and even do what we love. It's not just that. It's a deeper sense of, at least this is what I got during this awakening of, "Oh my gosh, I'm here to love. I'm here to," and not romantic love. I'm here to be love. You know, that was, and I'm only laughing because even when I try to communicate that, it's hard. There's a part of me that says, "Oh, they're not going to understand what I'm saying because it's not of the vibration of this earthly plane." But I know that some of you will will definitely understand it because you've been there too or you've had a similar awakening. So something like that, a truth illuminated or a a moment of suddenly your astral traveling, and those things are more unusual to happen, but they can happen. It's an opposition like all full moons. So the moon and sun will oppose each other. Uranus is going to be squaring the sun and the moon. So that's one T-square. But then because Mercury will be conjunct the sun, Uranus is also squaring Mercury. And remember, Mercury is the lower octave of Uranus. Uranus is more those, you know, out of this world kind of epiphanies. Mercury is more, Mercury, we can we can have, we can definitely get divine downloads and do get them regularly through Mercury too. So I don't really like that distinction, lower higher octave, but it's going to be a really interesting eclipse given this Uranus square two, two, three different energies, right? Sun, Moon, and Mercury. It's likely to be shocking, likely to be disruptive or discombobulating or enlightening. Enlightening, especially if you have planets or points near the degree of this eclipse, which is four degrees, almost five. So I'm saying four or five. If you have planets or points between 0 and 9 degrees of the mutable sign, 0 and 9, Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, or Sagittarius, you're going to feel this eclipse most intensely. >> [gasps] >> And like all the eclipses, I will do a separate video for you on it with readings for all 12 signs. That will be coming the end of the month.
We end with a super supportive, foundation-building or rebuilding transit. I love this. Last day of the month, August 31st, Jupiter in Leo, expansive, uplifting boost of faith, will trine Saturn in Aries. That's so beautiful because Saturn is where we set boundaries, but it is also where we make a plan and we have a foundation and something really feels like it's solid and it's going to work. And Jupiter uplifts that. Makes me really happy for the last day of the month. Support for your dream goal or vision in the Aries area of your chart. Maybe you're rebuilding a new foundation. So remember, if something happens during this month, it doesn't mean if if it feels like there's a crack in your foundation, something comes to light, it doesn't mean that we can't very quickly begin to get the information we need and rebuild. A lot of Mercury transits, as I've been just taking you through this month.
Okay. So, I want to give you some final tips for navigating the intensity of August with ease, peace, and grace. But first, before I do that, I want to say if you want to know how the most significant transits that I just went through will affect your rising sun and moon sign, my friend, this is what I'm going to share in the 12 sign monthly horoscopes, which you can watch by tapping the join button on my channel.

Okay, so my final tips for working with August dramatic energies. See this month as a chance to come that much closer to your authentic true self, to your most unbridled, expressive, exuberant, that's Leo energy, exuberant true self. It's going to be a wildcard month. We've already demonstrated that throughout this video, right? So, yes, expect the unexpected. Know that things are going to happen very likely that you couldn't have planned on. But if this happens, you will regroup. You will have what you need to make the choices and decisions that you need to make. And we're only being reassigned. And I'm right there with you, my friend. These two eclipses are going to be incredibly intense for me. I will share with you what happens. If it's something that isn't too personal, I will definitely share it with you because both eclipses are incredibly intense in my chart. We are only going to be reassigned to a better place. Whether it's an actual place, a home, a situation, a relationship, a job, a career. We're only going to be or our health or our finances. We're only going to be reassigned if that is in the best interest of our soul's plan. Do we know our soul's plan? Some of us have a good sense of it. Others of us are a little bit in the dark at times of our soul's plan, right? So, we have to have trust. We have to have a certain amount of faith. And if we don't have it, we can call on trust. We can call on faith. We can ask the divine, "Help me. Help me. Help me. I need you right now. I need you. I need you. I need to feel you. I need to feel you close to me. And I come to me in my dreams. Come to me in my sleep. Tell me what you want me to do so that I can so I can download whatever you have to to share with me." If something discombobulating or upsetting happens for you, try not to freak out. Try to remember, I'm not going to freak out because instead I'm going to pause and take deep breaths. [sighs and gasps] I'm going to prioritize self-care first and foremost. And I'm going to treat myself as the precious being that I am because there's nothing more important than my, and this is when I say "my," I mean all of us, right? There is nothing more important than our emotional well-being and then our well-being on all levels. That is the foundation of everything. That's the foundation of our lives. It's it's the cup through which we give to others. And if you feel like you there isn't enough there, even when you do pause and take that time for yourself, if you feel like you're still empty, your cup is still empty and you need support, that's a sign that you need support. Get support, my friend. This is a great time to get an astrology consultation. Why? Because it's eclipse season. And this is the time to have a professional astrologer like myself go through your chart and tell you every all the transits that are going on, not just the eclipses, but all the outer planet transits. They tell you when I work with you, I share with you how can you empower yourself? What are the things you can do? What are the planets asking of you? How are the planets supporting you to move through both the difficult and the more supportive, easeful transits based on what matters to you most right now? That's what this your reading is about you and what you want to come away with. So my friend, remember, change is the only thing that is permanent on this earthly adventure. Change is the essence of your being. Your emotions are meant to be energy in motion. We're meant to move through our emotions. Do this and you will be you will feel held by the divine. Trust that your soul has a divine plan.
