Dear Friends,
A SOLAR ECLIPSE OCCURS ON AUGUST 12, 2026 1:37 PM EDT 20 DEGREES LEO 01 MINUTE.
Set your intentions for this New Moon/Solar Eclipse. This Solar Eclipse is bringing in some very positive and creative energy. It a not only a New Moon it is a Solar Eclipse. A New Moon is the energy for a month. A Solar Eclipse we feel for a year. This all about getting yourself with all that you love and care. It is time to embrace that now. In this year of new beginnings now is the time. Saturn is in Aries bringing the time to be you. Show the best of you and what you love.
THE SIGN LEO
This is the sign of integrity, recognition, romance, affection, creativity, and play. When this sign is emphasized, we show kindness and generosity to others. We fall in love, and put our hearts into whatever we are doing. It is a time for ambition, independence, and leadership. We may refuse to recognize our limitations under this influence. This sign can be known for its overly dramatic behavior so stay grounded. It rules the heart and the upper spine. Where Leo is in our chart is where we need to feel special. This is where our heart is!
DECANANT: ARIES
The sign of the pioneer and new beginnings. Springtime. Fire signs are goal oriented, and concerned with future opportunities. Often described as inspirational, fire signs, more than all others, show where you need goals. Aries never forgets the fact that they were born to lead the way. Born directors and organizers. This sign represents the need to become a more well-defined individual. The house Aries is on in your chart shows where instinctual activity, freely operating, gives you the opportunity to become more conscious to add to your development as a separate entity. This sign rules the head.
RULERS: SUN/MARS
This New Moon /Solar Eclipse in Leo is all about being creative, being happy and following your heart. Saturn, the Planet of timing and responsibility is in Aries now promoting new beginnings. Mars is in Cancer putting our energy into building a new nest or foundation. Most of all, Mercury is joined with Jupiter in Leo helping with creative ideas. Mercury and Pluto are in opposition to Pluto in Aquarius bringing focus and intensity. This Solar Eclipse will influence us for a couple of years. Let’s do this. Step up and working on what makes you happy.
THE SABIAN SYMBOL: CHICKENS INTOXICATED
This is a symbol of the inevitable distress of the human soul whenever it seeks stimulation from elements essentially alien to its own nature, dramatized in the reversed symbolism by the futility of a dependence on physical agency for spiritual results. There are limitations in man’s basic make-up which he must learn to put to use other than as a justification for his various inadequacies. They are a reason for achievement, not a cancellation of potential. The keyword is ACCENTUATION. When positive, the degree is the individual’s capacity for a creative self-mobilization which will enable him to rise to the needs of every possible situation, and when negative, unnecessary bondage to externals.

Greetings
Astrology is an ancient and sacred language. It is the study of planetary cycles and their effects on human behavior. Understanding the daily movement of this energy helps you to be on time in your life with the right attitude.
The earth turning on its axis gives us night and day. The Moon orbiting the earth in 29.6 days gives our monthly cycles. The Earth orbits the Sun in a year and gives us Seasons. Astrology is the study of seasonal changes. Everything moves with this energy. Everything runs its course.
When you look at a model of the Universe Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all orbiting the Sun. They all have seasons. This creates all the energy that is moving that collectively effects what we are experiencing.
There’s a metaphysical principle dealing with the relationship of the microcosm and macrocosm that says, “As above, so below. As within, so without.” What is going on in the sky at any given time is telling the story of what is going on below at that moment. The information that Astrology provides helps us understand what is going on. It helps us know what time it is. Is it time to plant? Is it time to reap? There is a time a place for everything.
A soul comes into life at exactly the moment in time when the planetary conditions are perfect for what that soul needs to experience. The map of the sky at the exact moment that you took your first breath tells your story. Do you know yours?
Every New Moon, Full Moon and Planetary alignment is telling us day after day the energy we are dealing with. My intention is to describe these energies to help you have a smoother flow with your daily life.
Blessings, Brenda
