10/09/2026

Thursday 10th September 2026 there is a Virgo New Moon, while Venus has just entered Scorpio, Mercury has entered Libra, and Uranus has stationed retrograde. So overall the symbolism is less “push forward and make everything happen” and more pause, tell yourself the truth, clear what is no longer working, and consciously choose what you want to grow next.

🌑 The main energy: the Virgo New Moon

Virgo is associated with:

💫discernment
💫practical healing
💫routines and habits
💫bringing order to chaos
💫separating what is useful from what isn’t
💫tending to the body and nervous system
💫small actions that create meaningful long-term change

So this isn’t necessarily a dramatic “reinvent your entire life tonight” Moon.

It’s more: What small thing, if I consistently cared for it, would change my life?

Virgo symbolism - devotion to the ordinary becomes sacred. Tidying your room, preparing nourishing food, sorting something you’ve been avoiding, making a plan, going to bed at a sensible time.

🦂 Venus entering Scorpio: don’t skim the surface

Venus has moved into Scorpio, shifting relationships, desire, values and self-worth from Libra’s “let’s keep things harmonious” into Scorpio’s “but what is actually true underneath this?” territory.

Scorpio asks:

What do I genuinely want?
Where am I pretending not to care?
Where am I giving my power away?
What am I afraid to feel?
What needs to die so something more authentic can emerge?

This can make emotions feel deeper and less negotiable. But working with Venus in Scorpio doesn’t mean becoming suspicious, possessive or obsessive. Quite the opposite. The invitation is to practise emotional honesty without emotional compulsion. If something stirs you tonight, don’t necessarily act on it. Instead ask “What is this feeling trying to tell me?”

Venus in Scorpio can make something feel really significant and it may be easy to confuse intensity with truth tonight so let yourself feel it, but give yourself enough space to determine whether it’s a genuine insight or simply an activated emotion.

⚖️ Mercury in Libra: find the middle path

Mercury has also moved into Libra, bringing communication toward diplomacy, balance and perspective. This creates a contrast:

Venus in Scorpio:
Go deeper. Tell the truth.

Mercury in Libra:
But communicate that truth with grace.

This can help you recognise something difficult without it turning to confrontation. You don’t have to say everything straight away just because you’ve realised it, there’s growth in just knowing.

⚡ Uranus turning retrograde: listen to the quieter rebellion

Uranus stations retrograde today, beginning a period of several months of more inward questioning and reassessment.

Symbolically, Uranus asks: Where have I outgrown the version of myself that I’m still trying to maintain?

And because it’s turning inward, tonight may bring an unusual realisation rather than an obvious external event. Something like: “Actually… I don’t think I want that anymore.” or “There’s another way of doing this.”

Don’t dismiss those little flashes. You don’t need to act upon them tonight, just notice them.

🔮 Work with tonight’s energies 🔮

1. Clear something physical

Virgo loves tangible order.

Choose one small area — bedside table, handbag, desk, bathroom shelf, inbox.

While you’re doing it, consciously think:

“I am making space for what belongs in my next chapter.”

Not because the universe requires a tidy drawer, but because physical clearing can give your mind a symbolic container for psychological clearing.

2. Write three lists

I am ready to release…

I am ready to be honest about…

I am ready to cultivate…

Don’t censor yourself.

Especially with Venus in Scorpio, let the second list be really honest.

3. Choose ONE Virgo intention

Not ten. One. Something you can actually practise. Examples: “I will treat my body as something I’m responsible for, not something I criticise.” or “I will stop giving my energy to situations that repeatedly drain me.” or “I will create a daily structure that supports the life I say I want.” That’s much more aligned with Virgo than making a huge wish list.

4. Don’t force an answer

Tonight has new-beginning symbolism, but a New Moon is also darkness. You don’t have to know the entire path yet. You can plant the seed without digging it up every five minutes to check whether it’s growing.

✨Virgo says:
Make your life more intentional.

✨Scorpio says:
Make it more honest.

✨Libra says:
Make it more balanced.

✨Uranus says:
Make it authentically your.

✨And the New Moon says:
You don’t have to carry the old version forward.

There is also a supportive Sun–Mars sextile in the day’s astrology, which gives some practical momentum beneath all this introspection.
✨Feel
✨Understand
✨Choose
✨Begin

So feel and release what you have outgrown tonight, become honest about what you truly value, and patiently start building a life that reflects that 💚

New Moon Blessings ✨🙏✨

What we share with others is part of our sacred journey. ✨🙏✨

12/08/2026

The New Moon/solar eclipse occurs on 12th August 2026 at about 20° Leo. This is a symbolic threshold: a moment for listening to what is dying back, what wants to be reborn, and what part of your authentic life-force is asking to come forward.

The visible light disappears so that another kind of seeing becomes possible, allowing the old identity—the identity that has needed to be seen, validated, recognised or understood—to become quiet enough for something more essential to emerge.

Leo is heart, life-force, sovereignty, creativity, courage, warmth, visibility and the right to radiate. It asks: What wants to live through me when I stop performing who I think I am supposed to be?

At its highest expression:

* the heart becomes the compass
* creativity becomes an offering rather than a performance
* sovereignty replaces the need for approval
* courage means allowing yourself to be genuinely seen
* leadership comes from embodiment rather than control
* joy becomes a form of medicine.

But Leo also has a shadow:
“I need to be special so that I know I matter.”
The eclipse can symbolically expose that distinction. There is a difference between: “Look at me.” and “I have something alive within me that wants to be expressed.” The first needs an audience. The second has its own fire. So you could see this eclipse as potentially asking us to reclaim the second kind of Leo.

⸻

🪶 The Sabian Symbol…

The eclipse is around 20°02′ Leo
(rounding forward to the next degree)

= Leo 21 “Chickens intoxicated”

The traditional interpretation concerns the dangers of becoming intoxicated by something that isn’t actually nourishing to our essential nature—mistaking stimulation, excitement or altered states for genuine spiritual development.

A chicken is very much an earthbound creature. It has wings, but it isn’t naturally an eagle. So symbolically we have a creature possessing something that resembles the equipment for flight without necessarily understanding what flight actually requires.
So a question for this eclipse could be:

Am I trying to become something I am not, or am I learning how to fully inhabit what I actually am?

Are you just trying to fly or actually becoming free? The symbol can speak to the spiritual temptation to become intoxicated by the idea of awakening. We can chase:

* signs
* synchronicities
* visions
* rituals
* spiritual identities
* energetic experiences
* teachers
* altered states
* “downloads”
* the next big revelation.

And yet none of those necessarily mean that our soul is becoming more embodied. Don’t become intoxicated by the appearance of transcendence. The light doesn’t need to be chased. You need to become sufficiently still to recognise the light that is already yours. Think about:

Can the medicine actually land in the body?

Can the revelation change the way we love?

Can it change the way we speak?

Can it change what we tolerate?

Can it change how we inhabit our lives?

Can we become more human, rather than trying to escape being human?

What happens when we stop trying to manufacture power and allow our authentic life-force to return?

⸻

🌑 The eclipse initiation

1. The old solar identity is eclipsed.
The persona, role or identity you’ve been using to define yourself may temporarily lose its certainty.

↓

2. The darkness enters.
You don’t immediately know what replaces it.

↓

3. The ego wants stimulation.
This is where the “intoxicated chickens” can appear—wanting a sign, answer, revelation, certainty or dramatic spiritual experience.

↓

4. Something quieter emerges.
Instead of chasing the extraordinary, you begin hearing the very ordinary voice of your deeper instinct.

↓

5. The authentic fire returns.
Not necessarily louder.

Truer.

Do not mistake excitement for awakening. Do not try to fly because you have seen another creature in the sky. Come back into your body. Remember your own medicine. Your wings are not required to make you worthy. Your task is to discover what kind of creature you actually are—and then become fully that. Your authentic radiance does not need to be performed!

⸻

🔥 A simple eclipse practice

Sit somewhere quiet with a candle or fire.

Before lighting it, ask:

What identity am I ready to stop performing?

Then:

What am I genuinely here to bring alive?

And finally:

What would I create if I didn’t need anyone to tell me that it was valuable?

Don’t force answers.

For this eclipse, the listening may be more important than the intention-setting.

And if something comes through that feels grandiose, intoxicating or urgent, you could simply ask:

“Is this my authentic fire—or am I an intoxicated chicken trying to fly?” 🐔🔥

That may be the perfect mantra for this eclipse! ✨🙏✨

03/08/2026

We kicked off August with Lammas/Lughnasadh, which sits at the threshold between the height of summer and the gradual turning toward autumn. A liminal moment: the Sun is still strong, but we are beginning to ask what has actually ripened, what can be harvested and what must be released? A time to think about: What have you cultivated that is now ready to become nourishment -for yourself, your community and the future?

The 8/8 Lion’s Gate Portal with the Sun in Leo and Sirius at play too is a meeting point between:
✨Solar sovereignty — standing fully in your own life-force.
✨The Lion — courage, heart, leadership and the willingness to be visible.
✨The harvest — receiving the consequences and fruits of what you have sown.
✨The threshold — recognising that one season is beginning to turn into another.
✨The ancestors — remembering that our individual lives are part of a much longer ancestral continuum.
✨The land — moving out of purely mental spirituality and asking what is actually embodied and lived.
✨Reciprocity — the harvest is not simply “what can I get?” but “what am I responsible for giving back?”

🦅..this isn’t a time when a cosmic door suddenly opens, more of a threshold for conscious alignment.

💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠

The astrology of 8th August 2026
At 00:00 UTC on 8th August, the Sun is around 18° Leo, Jupiter around 10° Leo, the Moon is moving through Gemini, Mercury is at the very end of Cancer, Venus has just entered Libra, Mars is late in Gemini, Uranus is in early Gemini, Saturn and Neptune are in Aries, and Pluto is retrograde in Aquarius.

🙌 Symbolically this is a very powerful combination of energies to work with.

☉ Sun in Leo — the heart of the matter

The Sun in Leo is the signature for the Lion’s Gate tradition, but isn’t just about ego or personal glory. The highest expression asks:

Can you become a trustworthy vessel for your own life-force?

Think about what your Shamanic medicine is here? What do you carry that is uniquely yours to bring into the world? The Leo Sun asks us to move from performing an identity to embodying an authentic one.

⸻

♃ Jupiter in Leo — magnifying the solar fire

Jupiter is also in Leo, amplifying the themes of courage, creative expression, leadership and heart.

This is symbolically significant because the Sun says be fully alive. Jupiter says grow through what makes your heart larger. Together, they suggest a period of expansion through authenticity.

But there is also a shadow.

Leo + Jupiter can become excessive: too much certainty, too much self-importance, too much desire to be seen. The shamanic medicine here is humility within power.

The question is not:

“How powerful can I become?”

It is:

“How can I become powerful enough to serve what is greater than myself?”

⸻

☽ Moon in Gemini — the messenger and the trickster

The Moon is in Gemini on the 8th, while Mars is also late in Gemini and Uranus is in Gemini. This introduces a very different frequency into the Lion’s Gate story.

We have fire + air

The heart wants to express itself, while the mind wants to explore, question, connect and communicate.

Gemini also has a strong trickster quality from a shamanic view. The trickster asks:

✨What story have I been believing?
✨What if there is another perspective?
✨Am I confusing knowledge with wisdom?
✨Am I listening or merely talking?
✨Can I hold two seemingly contradictory truths at once?

With Mars and Uranus also in Gemini, the mental field can be highly activated. So be cautious about interpreting every intuitive thought as a divine message. The medicine of this configuration is discernment.

The 8/8 gateway may be less about receiving one grand revelation and more about changing the story through which you interpret your life.

⸻

☿ Mercury at the end of Cancer — the ancestral voice

Mercury is at approximately 29° Cancer at the beginning of the day. Cancer is associated with:

✨ancestry
✨family
✨roots
✨memory
✨belonging
✨emotional inheritance
✨the home

The final degree of a sign often feels like a threshold or culmination. So you could read this as:

Before you step fully into your new identity, listen to what your ancestors/ancestral patterns have been trying to teach you.

This could be a beautiful time to explore:

✨ancestral patterns
✨inherited fears
✨family stories
✨gifts passed down through your lineage
✨what you want to carry forward
✨what you consciously choose to end

There is a difference between honouring your ancestors and repeating your ancestors. The deeper question is:

What is yours to continue, and what is yours to transform?

⸻

♀ Venus entering Libra — restoring sacred balance

Venus has just entered Libra, its own sign, bringing themes of relationship, harmony, beauty, justice and reciprocity.

The Lion’s Gate can easily become very individualistic ..my manifestation, my awakening, my power, my destiny. But Venus in Libra reminds us:

There is no true sovereignty without right relationship.

This brings the energy back into balance and the question becomes:

How does my awakening affect the people, beings and land around me?

Align yourself with the worldview of interconnection and reciprocity.

💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠

The Sabian Symbol for 8/8/2026

The Sun is approximately 18° Leo 35’ on 8th August 2026 at 00:00 UTC. Because it is already past 18°00’, using the Sabian convention, we round upward to the 19th degree of Leo. So the Sabian Symbol is:

19 Leo — “A Houseboat Party”
A houseboat is a home that floats upon the waters. It is a dwelling that is not fixed to solid ground.

Symbolically, it suggests:

✨emotional fluidity
✨adaptability
✨finding home within movement
✨celebration amid uncertainty
✨community
✨navigating the currents of life
✨creating stability without becoming rigid

And then there is the word party. This is not a solitary symbol ..it’s about shared joy!

So if the Lion’s Gate says:

“Step into your power.”

19 Leo adds:

“And then invite others into the warmth of your heart.”

The astrology contains a strong tension between fixed fire and mutable air. Leo wants to stand firmly in the heart. Gemini wants to move, question, communicate and change. The houseboat symbol beautifully bridges those two states.

The house represents the centre.

The water represents emotional and psychic movement.

The boat represents the ability to navigate.

The party represents relationship and shared experience.

So the message might be:

You do not need to wait for the waters to become completely still before you celebrate your life.

We often imagine that we must first become perfectly healed, perfectly certain or perfectly aligned before we can step into our joy. The Houseboat Party says otherwise. You can create sacred space while the river is moving.

This harvest is not merely about what you have achieved, it’s about who you have become.

💫Stand in the heart of your own life.

💫Listen to the ancestors, but do not be imprisoned by the past.

💫Let the old story change.

💫Claim your sovereignty, but remember that true power exists within relationship and reciprocity.

💫Do not wait for the waters to become still. Build your home within yourself, climb aboard, and learn to navigate.

💫 ..and when you find your joy, share it!

💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠

Lughnasadh asks what is ready to be harvested?

Leo asks what is ready to shine?

The Sabian symbol asks can you celebrate what you have become while remaining fluid enough to keep evolving?

So take this time to think about what is the medicine you are bringing back from your journey and who is it ultimately for?

August 2026 contains a total solar eclipse in Leo on 12th August and a lunar eclipse later in the month, so the 8/8 portal sits in a larger window of Leo activation and transition rather than existing as an isolated cosmic event so work with 8/8 as the threshold, 12/8 as the eclipse/new beginning, and the whole period as a movement from awakening to embodiment to initiation. What are you ready to harvest?

Big blessings this month my loves! You’ve got this ✨🙏🏻✨
