LUNAR ECLIPSE AUGUST 2026

The Lunar eclipse on August 28, 2026, (Full Moon) is in the sign of Pisces at 4°. 

 

The penumbral eclipse begins at 9:24 p.m. EDT on August 27, will reach its peak at 12:12 a.m. EDT on August 28 and the penumbral eclipse ends: 3:02 a.m. EDT.

 

Lunar eclipses are emotional in nature however when in Pisces, this will be an even more emotionally impacted period.  Those primarily affected by this positioning will either have a planet or point in their Natal Chart within orb of this Lunar Eclipse by Square, Opposition and/or Conjunction. 

 

Much will depend on which planets are involved and the houses being affected. 

 

This event often includes a time when something come to a head from an emotional perspective and either an ending is needed or a massive change must take place. 

 

In the sign of Pisces, the ability for intuitive perception is enhanced. Things may not appear totally clear, and deceit and/or vagueness may be part of the picture.

 

There is an opposition from transiting Mercury and a Square coming from transiting Uranus.  As a result, you can expect the unexpected and trying to figure out what others might do can be very challenging.  Let them have their say but be certain to explain your take\feelings on things.  The mind may feel foggy, and you may not be getting the full story.  Someone else may seem to dictate and what they communicate may be expected.

 

A move/change of some sort is likely, although it likely is not a move to a different location unless the fourth house is involved. This is about a change of direction and a new beginning after an end of conditions that no longer suit your journey.  It may take a total of six months to get the full story and for the clarity of the situation to become more clear.

 

If by chance the mystical side of life seems to be enhanced, be sure that what you are feeling or perceiving is not a result of imagination.  As mentioned, Uranus and Mercury are both involved by challenging aspect, so the mind will analyze all that is in place and it may wonder but Uranus suggests that a shift must take place.

 

With the Lunar Eclipse August 2026 allow stressful situations to end instead of fighting to maintain these unsustainable conditions. Listen to your intuition but not your imagination. Act with intension not with reaction.

ASPECTS TO SUN IN VIRGO 2026, Part II

We posted an article yesterday focusing on the aspects to Sun in Virgo 2026.  Read more at https://www.holmastrology.com/post/aspects-for-sun-in-virgo-2026 

 

It should be noted that those with their Sun in the middle to later degrees of Virgo will not be influenced by the three outer planets the way that those in the beginning degrees will be influenced as stated in yesterday’s article. 

 

Those with their Sun in the final degrees of Virgo will, however, be under the influence of these three outer planets (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) but will have the following aspects in place:  Uranus, which is in Gemini, will make a Trine, Neptune, which is in Aries, will make an Opposition and Pluto, which is in Aquarius, will make a Trine. The two Trines together with the Sun’s position will make a Grand Trine which is strong but will be out of element.

 

The energies will be flowing well but you will also have to take into consideration the houses involved as these will affect the areas of life concerned. 

 

The Opposition often indicates that someone else might trigger the action/event but it is not always in a pleasant manner.  What they are trying to accomplish may be a little vague or it may make you uncertain of which direction you should take.

 

Those with their natal Sun in the mid-degrees should check to see if they have any minor aspects from these transiting planets to their Natal Sun.  If there are no minor aspects, those in the mid degrees of Virgo would have to check what influence and aspects these three transiting outer planets will have on the rest of the natal chart. 

 

There is always something happening within the framework of our natal chart.  It is of extreme importance to always look at the bigger picture of what the transits are doing in the natal chart.

 

The transit of the inner planets move very quickly but may still have a minor influence on your chart. These, however, likely will be quite fleeting.

 

As suggested in Aspects for Sun in Virgo 2026, Part II, those with Virgo in the later degrees can expect an easy flow to the energy and other’s may initiate change. Again, happy solar return Virgo.

ASPECTS FOR SUN IN VIRGO 2026

On August 19, 2026, we posted an article on Sun in Virgo.  https://www.holmastrology.com/post/sun-in-virgo-2026  Today, we will focus on the upcoming aspects that will be affecting those with their Sun in Virgo.

 

Pluto, Neptune and Uranus are in close proximity by degrees to one another. These planets will affect not only those born with their Sun in Virgo but also all other sun signs.  The aspects, however, will be different depending on which sign your Sun is in.  Since we are just focusing on Virgo in this article, Pluto in Aquarius will be making Quincunx also known as an inconjunct to those with their Sun in the early degrees of Virgo.

 

The inconjunct is about making adjustments and is considered a challenging aspect.  Although it is considered a major aspect, the orb of influence is only 5-7° while other major aspects are known to have up to a 10° orb of influence. 

 

Pluto suggests that it is time to adjust the way you use your power and the influence this might have on your goals in life. Perhaps on a more personal level, it may be affecting the way you use your power and aggressive characteristics of yourself. 

 

A typical Virgo would use their personal power to influence life in order to put things in their proper place.  Are you pushing too hard to present your knowledge and perhaps not listening enough? 

 

Should you step back and not be so aggressive in wanting others to know that you are right? 

 

On the other hand, are you not pushing because you don’t want to make waves and being too adaptable to other people’s desires or wishes?

 

Just food for thought!

 

Neptune in Aries is also making a Quincunx to those with their Sun in the early degrees of Virgo.  The Quincunx from Pluto and the Quincunx from Neptune make a configuration known as a Yod.  The Yod has to do with the need to adjust your personal life or goals in life, (because they are making this aspect to your Sun). In many cases, the Yod is considered a very challenging aspect where you need to confront a crisis, find your center and work your way through this adversity.  Neptune, in this case, suggests that the adjustment necessary is difficult to clearly understand and may push you deep into your life’s path to figure out what is needed.  Is there a power struggle? 

 

Are you willing to adjust to make things flow in a smoother manner? 

 

What do you need to do to center yourself to resolve the issue at hand?

 

Uranus is in Gemini and will be making a Square to those born with their Sun in the early degrees of Virgo.  Change is often part of what Uranus is about.  There are alternatives to what you might want to do to create the required change, but you have most likely been getting little hints of this and you are being pushed in a certain direction. 

 

Pluto suggests that something must come to an end for something new to begin.  Uranus suggests that what was in place is no longer suitable for your evolutionary quest.  Squares are very difficult, but they push us to work towards ending the conflict whatever that may be.  The resolution may be unconventional, somewhat erratic and others may not have known that this change was coming. Nonetheless a change is needed. 

 

Sun in Virgo should always search for a peaceful resolution, without ego taking hold and although the unknown might be part of the picture, a part of you knows what the best approach and route is to take.

 

The aspects for Sun in Virgo 2026 suggest realistic steps towards change that will assist in personal growth and more. Happy solar return Virgo. Here’s to positive change!

SUN IN VIRGO 2026

The Sun moves into the sign of Virgo on August 22, 2026. 

 

If your Sun is between 1” and 9° 59” in the sign of Virgo, you are considered a double Virgo.  If your Sun is between 10° and 19° 59” Virgo, you are a Virgo and will have some Capricorn tendencies, and if your Sun is between 20° and 29° 59” Virgo, you are in the 3^rd decan (or decanate) and will also have some Taurus tendencies.  These are the three decans of Virgo (as with all signs) and the house placement of your Sun will also be influenced by the natural ruler of the house in which it resides. 

 

This is a perfect example of why some Virgoans identify strongly with Virgo tendencies (example Sun at 1° Virgo and in the 6^th house) and others do not (example Sun at 12° Virgo in the 4^th house).  The Ascendant and our Moon signs also have an impact on our personality. 

 

Regardless of where the Sun is placed by degree and house placement, the Sun, which is your inner personality and always represents us well, constantly holds prominence in the chart, especially the way a person is internally.  We identify with our Sun sign even though some might not agree with this statement.

 

Virgoan individuals seek perfection.  They like to have their house in order, so to speak and if by chance it is not in order, then you know there are some internal issues going on. 

 

Virgoans see the flaws in the world around them and within themselves as well.  They can be nitpicky because of this and look to correct these issues. 

 

The average Virgo is dependable, structured, organized, usually quite polite and they are efficient at what they do.

 

Virgo is a Mutable, Earth sign suggesting that these individuals strive to build something worthwhile in their lives.  They are practical and adaptable and, in most cases, do not like change.  Many are quite health conscious and look after themselves through proper diet, weight control and hygiene.  For most Virgoans, exercise or a somewhat vigorous lifestyle is what they seek.  Usually, they like to keep themselves busy and have relatively high standards from themselves.

 

Many Virgo individuals can bend with life’s circumstances.  They are pliable and often resilient and want to rectify any situation that needs adjusting.  Much goes on behind the scenes on internal level, and the mind is quite busy as Mercury is their ruling planet. Much will depend on how Mercury is aspected in the birth chart, however, and the sign and house that it resides in.

 

Currently the outer planets (Pluto, Uranus and Neptune) are in the early degrees in their respective signs.  Our next astrology post will touch on how these powerful planets might be influencing the Sun in Virgo individual during the upcoming year. 

 

Happy solar return to our reliable, diligent, curious, detailed, perfection seeking, “I Analyze” Virgo readers.

BRIGHT SUNNY SKIES

If life has seemed dim, remember it’s always the darkest just before dawn. 

 

Life’s journey can be unclear but eventually the sun rises again and will light your path clearly. You might not have been sure about the next step but patience and slow progress can help with clear decision making. When we can see the next steppingstone, it is time to take that step.

 

With clear and concise deliberation, we prepare ourselves to move forward.

 

If we feel we are sitting at the precipice of change and have been waiting for something to come along and make things happen, perhaps we should realize that we have to take that step forward. The only restrictions, although life seems to put up barriers, are indecision.  We hold ourselves back.

 

If we have done our due diligence, do not let fear rule! The unknown can be intimidating but it should not dictate.

 

There will always be bright sunny skies.  When dawn comes, we must take off our sleep mask to see the sun rise. Take that step forward or stand in place. Do we exist in fear or do we live fully no matter what we are dealt?

SATURN SEXTILE NATAL PLUTO

Saturn in challenging aspect to Pluto can be quite perplexing because Pluto deals with leaving something behind and then starting something new. Saturn, however, dislikes change. Pluto brings regeneration and transformation, and Saturn is quite content leaving things as they are as it prefers the tried, tested and true.

 

Saturn is up to the challenge and when we have a Sextile from Saturn to Pluto there is an opportunity to push through adversity, adjust where necessary and grow through learning. Check the placement of natal Pluto by sign and house position for further details.

 

Saturn may resist change and does not like transformation unless this change prepares you to become stronger, well-learned because of the experience and builds a more solid foundation. If this is the case, Saturn helps you power your way through this aspect. 

 

Saturn is the teacher and Pluto puts up a fight to bring transformation and will not bend to the pressures of life’s demands, unless life’s demands push you in a direction that down the road you will be in a better place and you will have grown and learned valuable lessons in the process.

 

This is an opportunity to move ahead in life learning from any adversity that might be in place.  There might be some power struggles, especially with those in positions of authority that might not agree with your plans, but over time, you are able to sway them by proving that your ideas are beneficial.  You will have to prove yourself and explain why this might be a better way forward, but it will be worth the effort if you know your place.  Be diplomatic and sensible as you present your case. You are dealing with those in authority, and you must remember this. 

 

Transiting Saturn sextile natal Pluto is a powerful aspect providing opportunity to restructure your life. Put in the effort, prove yourself and build a better tomorrow.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE SUN IN OUR NATAL CHART

It is said that you can tell quite a bit about an individual just by the Sun, Moon and Ascendant in the birth chart (natal astrology chart). 

 

The Sun reveals who we are on an internal level.  Much will depend on the aspect configurations connected to the sun and the house that it resides in.  However, we all carry much of our inner personality from the influence of the Sun.

 

The Sun also represents the father figure in our life while the Moon represents the mother or nurturing figure. Once again, you must take into consideration the aspects and the house placements of both to get more details on the energies. 

 

The Sun is representative of our goals in life.  There is a huge difference between someone who has their Sun in Aries and someone who has their Sun in Pisces.  Both have completely different paths in life, although they do share the fact that growth is important. With Pisces growth would be through service and spiritual advancement. With Aries, growth comes either through exploration or experience. Aries advancement in pursuits are on a more aggressive manner, or through lessons learned due to failure due to wanting things to take place quickly.

 

The Sun along with the North Node points towards our destiny and the way we will move forward to reach our summit.  Will we move forward in an unusual, eccentric and humanitarian manner (Aquarius) or through secret, internal transformations that might be considered taboo (Scorpio)?

 

The house placement is extremely important as we get a mixture of character traits depending on which house our Sun resides in.  Will we pursue life through communication techniques and teachings (Gemini/3^rd house), or will we pursue life through material advancement and goals that push us to the very top of our objectives especially in our career (Capricorn/10^th house)?

 

The Sun can determine what our health is like.  Is it robust because of influences from Jupiter and is it well aspected by the Ascendant and Mars?

 

Does the Sun have trines to Pluto which offers the potential for powerful regenerative capabilities? 

 

Is the Sun poorly aspected especially by the outer planets, and does it have negative implications from the Ascendant, the sixth and/or twelfth houses?

 

We can learn to adapt if the latter example is the case, although knowing this will help us and make us pay closer attention to our health.

 

Jupiter on the Ascendant can speak of gaining weight and Mars can speak of a fight for survival especially if challenged and close to the Ascendant. 

 

The whole chart must be carefully studied to obtain a clear and concise health analysis. 

 

Mercury must also be applied when reviewing the chart potential by the influence of the Sun as Mercury rules our pattern of thinking and will help define the potential Sun character traits, especially through the way we communicate.

 

Aspects from the Sun to other planets and angles will help define who we are and the way we express our uniqueness. 

 

We must also consider the decants as they will also color the kind of person we are.  Each sign is divided into 3 decants. Each decant is 10°, and are contained within the same element (Air, Water, Fire and Earth). The first 9° 59” would be a double Sun sign emphasis.

 

The influence of the Sun in our natal chart reflects our core self, our ego, our purpose in life, and so much more. The Sun is important, but we are so much more than just our Sun sign.

 

As we can see, the Sun sign is extremely important when it comes to who we are, and in this article we are just touching on the relevance of this extremely important energy in our Natal makeup.

THE UNDERLYING YOU

The way we present ourselves to the outside world changes over life. Some of these changes can be drastic, often resulting from life experiences such as influences from other people’s opinions, life events, making adjustments to ourselves or simply becoming comfortable in our own skin.

 

In some cases, we make changes that are more internal. Others may not even realize them. In other cases, changes take place and we are unaware of them. Other’s comments bring the changes to our attention.

 

We are influenced by those we interact with and can take on their characteristics without being consciously aware of it. We may have habits that are pointed out by others. We then can take heed and make changes, if needed.

 

Whatever changes we make, they have to take place because we place importance on them not because we are trying to please others.

 

As we age and mature into ourselves, hopefully we learn to bend where we need to, stand firm when it’s appropriate and grow and learn from life’s experiences.  You can teach an old dog new tricks, contrary to the old  saying.

 

Life creates changes.  Circumstances create change. Age creates change. The underlying you, however, never changes.  We are still the core person we have always been but we have adapted to live life as needed.
