when: September 7
where: 21° Aquarius ♒
(purva bhadrapada)
Moon will be conjunct Rahu, opposite Sun-Mercury-Ketu, and trine to Jupiter.
How can you honor your unique identity (Leo) while also contributing to the greater good (Aquarius)?
🧵:
Purva Bhadrapada nakshatra is symbolized by the front legs of a funeral cot. This is a purifying energy, like a sacred fire that burns away what is old, decayed, and no longer necessary.
This eclipse is designed to help you release outdated beliefs or mindsets.
Aquarius is the sign of the collective, humanity, and social reform. An eclipse here brings to a head the tension between your need for personal freedom and your role within a community.
This is a time to confront where you may be compromising your authentic self to fit in.
The sign that's in the 8th house from yours reveals your shadow self, the side you hide, yet the one that pushes you into transformation.
Check it on 3 levels:
Rising: how it plays out in material life
Moon: how it stirs your emotions
Sun: how it shapes your soul's evolution
Some examples:
Shadow of Taurus 👉 Sagittarius
Taurus appears steady and practical, but deep down they crave wild freedom, rebellion, and expansion. They may cling to what's safe but deep down they know growth comes when they risk the leap. Their hidden Sagittarius side.
Astrology's cheat code: the opposite house holds the key.
Want a partner (7th house)?
Build your 1st house energy:
Identity, boundaries, self respect. Clean up how you speak about yourself, how you dress, how you treat your body. People meet the standard you set for you.
Want a stronger sense of self
(1st house)? Use the 7th House:
Relationships are mirrors. Notice what you admire or resent in others. Practice negotiation, repair, honest feedback. Your reflection shapes your identity.
Read each pair as a loop.
2nd and 8th house
Want stable money and self worth (2nd House)? Work the 8th.
Learn investing, compounding, insurance, taxes, debt. Understand shared resources and power dynamics. Know where risk is, and why you take it.
Even though this Sun & Moon conjunction will be in the same sign as Ketu, it won't be a solar eclipse because they will be more than 18° apart.
Despite not being an eclipse, this new moon is powerful.
🧵:
Magha is the throne of our ancestors. Every time the Sun and Moon meet here, it stirs the memory of our lineage.. both the blessings you carry and the weight that was never fully laid to rest.
With Ketu already here it's a deep dive into your legacy. Focus on your roots.
This is a powerful preparation for what's to come.
Think of this one month (until the solar eclipse on September 21) as a time to clear your energy, set strong intentions, and build your inner foundation. The work you do now will determine how you navigate the eclipse.
When: August 9
Where: 22° Capricorn
(shravana nakshatra)
It will be opposite Retrograde Mercury.
This energy will reveal what you've outgrown.. especially when it comes to how you've been handling responsibility, emotional labor, and silence.
🧵:
The opposition of Retrograde Mercury to this full moon can also bring back conversations you thought were over, only to realize you never really understood what they meant.
Don't rush to correct, listen for what the moment is really revealing about your expectations.
You might realize someone's been tuning you out for a while, not hearing you, just responding.
Don't argue to be heard. Pull back. Let their silence teach you something.
Ideal for admitting that you've been over-explaining yourself to people who already made up their minds.
