Kristen Stewart's back in the press cycle and the whole internet's talking about Twilight again — so we're doing a brutally honest review of New Moon, the moodiest, mopiest chapter of the saga. We rewatched as adults and it hits very differently.We get into the forest break-up that scarred a generation, Bella's months-long depression spiral (and those phantom Edward hallucinations), and the case that Jacob was right all along — and hotter. Plus the glow-up that saved Taylor Lautner's career, the strange ageing panic underneath it all, and that chaotic dash to Italy.Emotional, unhinged, excellent. And if you love this episode let us know, because we might do Eclipse next.Loved today's episode?

Astronomy Daily · S05E164 “Eclipse Eve” · Tuesday 11 August 2026. Sources are primary/agency where possible; aggregator dates were checked against originals. In this episode • LEAD — The 12 August total solar eclipse: the only total eclipse of 2026 and the first over mainland Europe since 1999. Totality arcs from Siberia over the North Pole to eastern Greenland, western Iceland, northern Spain and a sliver of Portugal; maximum totality ~2 min 18 s. Partial for much of North America near sunset; not visible from Australia. ESA livestreams from the Javalambre Observatory, Spain. • MIDDLE 1 — A state CASC Long March 7A exploded ~85 seconds after lifting off from Wenchang on 10 August, a total loss (payload reported as the Zhongxing-4B communications satellite). Separately, Landspace's private Zhuque-3 was on the same-night manifest from Jiuquan for its second propulsive landing-legs recovery attempt — outcome unconfirmed at recording. China's first orbital-booster landing (net-capture, Long March 10B) already succeeded on 10 July. • MIDDLE 2 — The Perseids peak overnight 12–13 August under a New Moon — the darkest conditions in roughly two decades. Parent comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. Realistic ~30–50 meteors/hr from dark sites (nominal ~100), with a slim chance of a dust-trail boost; the next confidently forecast outburst is 2028. • MIDDLE 3 — Japan's H3 launched Michibiki No. 7 (QZS-7) from Tanegashima, bringing the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System up to the strength Japan needs to run it as a standalone service — a regional navigation layer that keeps a satellite near the zenith over Japan/Asia-Pacific, reinforcing GPS and building navigation resilience. The satellite also hosts a US Space Force space-surveillance sensor (SACHI). • CLOSER — Both-hemispheres skywatch: eclipse viewing times (totality window ~16:58–18:34 UT, greatest ~17:46 UT) and the ISO 12312-2 eye-safety rule; Perseid how-to for the North (best 2 a.m.–dawn); and Southern-Hemisphere content — pre-dawn planets, evening Venus, Comet 10P/Tempel 2. Eye safety • A partial eclipse is never safe to view with the naked eye. Use ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses/viewers, or indirect projection (pinhole). Direct viewing is only safe during true totality, and only inside the path (Greenland, Iceland, Spain).

What if this New Moon isn't asking you to manifest something new—but to create space for what's ready to leave?In this Weekly Invitation from Jessica Meils the Podcast, we're moving with the energy of the Leo New Moon solar eclipse on August 12.Eclipse season can bring change, endings, revelations, and unexpected shifts. Rather than rushing to decide what those shifts mean—or trying to control what comes next—this week's invitation is simple:Observe. Release. Allow.I don't personally use eclipses for manifestation or setting new intentions.Instead, I treat eclipse season as an opportunity to stay present, remain flexible, and notice what life may already be showing me.Where is something naturally completing?What feels ready to dissolve?What no longer feels aligned?What am I being shown without having to search for an answer?This isn't about fearing eclipse energy or expecting something dramatic to happen.It's about allowing ourselves to observe what is already moving without immediately trying to direct the outcome.Sometimes our spiritual practice isn't about doing more.Sometimes it's about creating enough space to recognize what's already changing.THIS WEEK'S INVITATION:Observe what is showing up.Release what is clearly ready to leave.Stay flexible.Allow yourself to be in the unknown without rushing to fill the space.And rather than setting a New Moon intention, consider one simple question:What is life showing me that I am ready to release?You don't need to force an answer.Notice what comes.Observe. Release. Allow.And trust yourself along the way.ROOTED & RISINGRoot deeply.Rise authentically.Trust yourself along the way.WORK WITH ME + WHAT'S COMING1:1 SESSIONSA limited number of private sessions are available:https://www.jessicameils.comROOTED & RISING: LIVING INTUITIVELYMy new $44 audio experience is coming soon—a practice-based experience designed to help you deepen your relationship with your intuition and learn to notice, experience, discern, and trust what you know.Join the Living Intuitively waitlist:https://jessicameils.myflodesk.com/immersiveROOTED & RISING GATHERING PLACEA deeper gathering place is taking shape behind the scenes for intuition, embodiment, self-trust, and living your own unique blueprint.Join the Gathering Place waitlist:https://jessicameils.myflodesk.com/osif9gm4lnFREE RESOURCES + MEDITATIONShttps://www.jessicameils.com/freebiesCONNECT WITH JESSICAWebsite:https://www.jessicameils.comInstagram:@peoplecallmejessABOUT JESSICAJessica Meils is a spiritual medium, intuitive healer, and mentor exploring astrology, intuition, mediumship, energy healing, embodiment, self-worth, spiritual development, and what it means to build a life rooted in self-trust.
We've been circling this week all year, and now it's here: the solar eclipse in Leo, Wednesday, midday, no take-backs. Eclipses are the astrology of "everything was fine and then suddenly it wasn't fine, it was different." They don't ask for your input. They just rearrange the furniture while you're still sitting on it. And this one is doing its rearranging with the south node, which is the part of the sky that deals in the old familiar stuff we cling to because it's known, not because it's good. The outdated ideas about who we are, what we're capable of, what we're allowed to want. The comfort zone that stopped being comfortable a while ago but we kept the lease anyway. That's what's up for release this week, and because it's Leo, it's personal. It's about you, your confidence, your visibility, the version of yourself you've been performing out of habit. The good news, and there is a lot of it, is that Jupiter is sitting right there in Leo making everything bigger, more hopeful, and weirdly more survivable. This is not the eclipse that takes something from you and leaves you sobbing in the car. This is the eclipse that takes something from you and you're like, yeah, fair, I was done with that anyway.Key moments of the week:Sunday, August 9: Mercury enters Leo (12:29PM)Monday, August 10: Mercury in Leo square Chiron in Taurus (1:15AM)Monday, August 10: Venus in Libra trine Pluto in Aquarius (2:08PM)Monday, August 10: Venus in Libra opposite Neptune in Aries (6:01PM)Tuesday, August 11: Mars enters Cancer (4:31AM)Tuesday, August 11: Mars in Cancer trine North Node in Pisces (5:50PM)Tuesday, August 11: Mercury in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius (9:19PM)Tuesday, August 11: Mercury in Leo trine Neptune in Aries (11:38PM)Tuesday, August 11: Venus in Libra trine Uranus in Gemini (11:45PM)Wednesday, August 12: Mars in Cancer sextile Chiron in Taurus (10:41AM)Wednesday, August 12: New Moon in Leo (1:36PM)Wednesday, August 12: Solar Eclipse in Leo (1:47PM)Wednesday, August 12: Mercury in Leo sextile Uranus in Gemini (4:47PM)Thursday, August 13: Mercury in Leo sextile Venus in Libra (12:22PM)Saturday, August 15: Mercury conjoins Jupiter in Leo (7:22AM)To read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the websiteiPhone and iPad appsAndroid app

The New Moon on August 12 is a total solar eclipse. In areas of totality, including parts of Iceland and Spain, the Sun will be eclipsed as it sets, creating a striking spectacle. Traditionally, we are advised not to watch eclipses but to turn inward. I believe we can do both. Observing the outer world while remaining aware of the one who is observing can be deeply illuminating. This is an essential lesson of the lunar nodes: witness what is happening without becoming consumed by it.Insights are more likely when the Sun, Moon, Earth and lunar nodes align. Ketu and the eclipsed Sun occupy different divisions of the sidereal zodiac, bringing both Cancer and Leo into focus. Eclipses reveal and conceal, so bear in mind that the full picture may not be immediately apparent.We would usually look to Jupiter for guidance, but Jupiter is also involved in this eclipse, as it is hidden by an eclipsed Sun. Although it emerges from combustion by the end of the month, whatever insights arise, keep them close to your chest until matters become clearer. At the same time, this eclipse is asking you to let go of something you may have a hard time letting go of. The eclipse occurs in Āśleṣā, a complex lunar mansion at the end of Cancer. Symbolised by a coiled serpent and ruled by the serpent deities, the Sarpas, it represents attachment, instinct, and entanglement. It may also reflect kuṇḍalinī śakti—the coiled energy at the base of the spine—and the spiral of DNA, connecting it with healing.This eclipse represents a shedding of skin, a deep process of emotionally letting go. With Ketu's help, we are asked to loosen our attachments and transform basic survival instincts into something more conscious and evolved.
There are moments when injustice feels impossible to ignore. We want answers. We want accountability. We want people to get what they deserve. But what if our pursuit of justice is quietly costing us something far more valuable?In this week's Weekly Energy Boost, we explore a profound teaching from Kabbalah that turns our understanding of justice, judgment, and compassion upside down. Discover why judging others—even in your own thoughts—can interfere with your blessings, how mercy creates space for transformation, and practical tools to break free from criticism before it shapes your reality. As we enter the powerful energy of the New Moon of Virgo, this conversation offers timely guidance to help you replace judgment with Light, compassion, and lasting spiritual growth.Join us for the next episode of Weekly Energy Boost with @ElishevaBalas and @EitanYardeni.

The potent, dramatic Solar Eclipse in Leo arrives August 12th, shaking up the Leo sector of your birth chart. Solar Eclipses can coincide with far-reaching beginnings, like a potent New Moon, but as this is also connected to the South Node, there can also be an ending or rebalancing connected to this energy as well. Co-present with benefic Jupiter, there is also a possibility that this eclipse brings some opportunity or expansion into your life as well. Collectively, this energy is tied to sudden changes in leadership, or established "kings" and leaders grapping with a sudden shift in power. Leo = rulers and kings, and eclipses are notorious for bringing sudden shifts in who has political power.

Astronomy Daily · S05E161 · “The Colour of Empty Space” · Friday 7 August 2026. Hosts: Anna & Avery. astronomydaily.io · @AstroDailyPod ① Vacuum birefringence: reading a magnetar ● NASA's IXPE, with NICER and the Parkes/Murriyang radio telescope (NSW), measured the polarised X-rays of magnetar 1E 1547.0−5408. ● Result: soft X-ray polarisation ~65% at 2 keV, rising to nearly 80% at some rotation phases — the strongest signal yet of vacuum birefringence, a QED effect predicted by Heisenberg in 1936. ● The team calls it the “most definitive signal to date,” not a confirmed detection; an April 2026 analysis disputes it under different geometry. Co-leads: Rachael Stewart; Hoa Dinh Thi (Rice); with Marcus Lower (Swinburne). ● Source: Stewart et al., Nature, 5 Aug 2026 (DOI 10.1038/s41586-026-10859-z); NASA IXPE release. ② Gateway HALO hardware → Lunar Infrastructure Demos ● NASA and Northrop Grumman are repurposing the HALO module's power, data and avionics into three surface missions — LID-1, LID-2, LID-3. ● Goal: “survive-the-night” power and thermal tech for the lunar South Pole, where night lasts ~14 Earth days and temperatures plunge below −200 °C. ● Part of a wider Moon-base update in which four commercial landers reached final qualification testing at once. ● Source: NASA & Northrop Grumman releases, 4 Aug 2026; Spaceflight Now. ③ New Glenn: the cause is a valve ● Blue Origin traced the 28 May New Glenn booster explosion (during a pad hot-fire at Cape Canaveral) to the main oxygen valve on one of the seven BE-4 engines. ● Fix: small, retrofittable valve modifications; return to flight still targeted by year's end. The BE-4 also powers ULA's Vulcan. ● Source: Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp, 5 Aug 2026; SpaceNews. ④ LINK's de-spin: the fight to save Swift ● Katalyst Space's LINK robot — tasked with boosting NASA's ageing Swift observatory before re-entry — hit a multi-axis tumble when two of three reaction wheels failed. ● Using gimballed electric-propulsion thrusters, the team cut the spin from ~9°/s to ~1.47°/s on under 100 g of propellant. A flight-software update is next; rendezvous slips to ~end of August. ● Source: NASA Swift blog, 6 Aug 2026; Katalyst mission updates. ⑤ Skywatch: eclipse + Perseids ● 12 Aug total solar eclipse — totality across Greenland, Iceland, northern Spain; afternoon partial for eastern Canada and the NE United States (>10% only NE of the NYC–Rochester line; ~50% in Atlantic Canada). NASA live from 1:15 pm EDT. ● Perseid peak the night of 12–13 Aug under a New Moon — up to ~100/hr from dark rural sites. ● Southern Hemisphere: eclipse not visible; Perseids barely clear the horizon. Sydney: pre-dawn planet line-up + Venus + winter Milky Way. ● EYE SAFETY: use only ISO 12312-2 eclipse glasses for every partial phase; never combine them with a camera, telescope or binoculars.

The 365 Days of Astronomy, the daily podcast of the International Year of Astronomy 2009
Hosted by Chris Beckett & Shane Ludtke, two amateur astronomers in Saskatchewan who enjoy teaching astronomy classes and showing the public views through their telescopes. actualastronomy@gmail.com Episode 545 of the Actual Astronomy podcast features hosts Chris and Shane discussing the observer's calendar and planetary visibility for August 2026. Throughout the month, skywatchers can track key planetary positions, including Venus in the morning sky and Jupiter rising around 3:00 AM. Notable astronomical highlights include the Perseid meteor shower, multiple lunar feature viewings, and a partial lunar eclipse accompanying the Full Moon on August 28th. Planet Positions & Visibility: - Mercury: Very close to the Sun. Superior conjunction on the 27th. - Venus: In W, evening sky all month. - Mars: Rises at 3 AM in ENE. - Jupiter: Hidden behind the Sun at the start of Aug. Will rise around 5 AM by the end of month. - Saturn: Rises in E around midnight, transits around 5:00 AM, high in SSE at dawn. Astronomical Events by Date: - August 2 - Mercury at greatest morning elongation (19° from Sun) - Comet 10P/Tempel 2visible at 2:25 AM - Image for when moon leaves in second week of Aug. - August 3 - Lunar Feature (Mare Orientale) visible at 4:45 AM - Carbon star RS Cyg best in evening - August 5 - Last Quarter Moon at 22:21 ***August 5 Falcon 9 Upper Stage lunar impact anyone?*** - August 9 - Mars 4° SW of crescent Moon before dawn. - Star cluster NGC 6791 well placed this evening - August 10 - Moon at perigee - Wild Duck Cluster (M11) well placed this evening - August 11 - Mercury 2° South of Moon, just before dawn. - Globular clusters M22 and M28 well placed this evening - August 12 - New Moon at 13:37 — Partial solar eclipse for US east coast. - Perseid meteors (ZHR=100), late evening, but best seen after midnight - August 16 - Venus 9° W of Moon - August 19 - First Quarter Moon at 22:46 - Lunar feature Barrow Ray visible at 8:30 PM - Carbon star S Sct best in evening - August 23 - Lunar feature Jeweled Handle visible at 12:00 AM - Carbon star V CrB best in evening - August 26 - Crater Bailly visible at 10:00 PM - 57 Aql (colorful double star) visible - August 28th - Full Moon: Occurs at 0:19. - Partial (96%) Lunar Eclipse - 9 Metis at Opposition: Visible at magnitude m = 9.3 The asteroid was discovered on April 25, 1848, by Irish astronomer Andrew Graham. It was his only asteroid discovery and holds historical significance as the only asteroid ever discovered from an observatory in Ireland (the Markree Observatory). Scientists believe 9 Metis has a cataclysmic history. It is highly dense and rich in metals, leading researchers to conclude that it is likely the core remnant of an ancient, much larger primordial asteroid. This parent body was completely destroyed and stripped of its outer crust by a colossal space collision billions of years ago.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/tmb-ehv/03-0803db.mp3 Listen to Bible reading Through My Bible Yr 03 – August 03 Amos 8:4 – 9:15 Amos 8 Fraud and Hypocrisy on Holy Days 4 Listen to this, you who trample on the needy to wipe out the oppressed from the land, 5 who say, “When will the New Moon be over so that we can sell grain? When will the Sabbath end so that we can open the grain bins? Then we will make the bushel [1] smaller and make the shekel weight heavier. [2] We will cheat with dishonest scales. 6 We will buy the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals. We will sell the chaff with the grain.” A Famine of the Lord's Word 7 The Lord swears by the Pride of Jacob, “I will never forget any of their deeds!” 8 Because of this, the land will shake, and everyone living in it will mourn. The whole land will rise up like the Nile. It will surge and sink down again like the Nile of Egypt. 9 Here is what will happen on that day, declares the Lord God: I will make the sun set at noon, and I will bring darkness on the earth when it should be light. 10 I will turn your festivals into mourning and all of your songs into a lamentation. I will put sackcloth on all your waists and baldness on every head. I will make that day like the mourning for an only son, and it will end like a bitter day. 11 Look, the days are coming, declares the Lord God, when I will send a famine into the land— not a famine of bread nor a thirst for water, but rather a famine of hearing the words of the Lord. 12 People will stumble from sea to sea and from north to east. They will roam back and forth seeking the word of the Lord, but they will not find it. 13 On that day the beautiful virgins will faint, and the young men will grow weak from thirst. 14 Those who swear by the shameful guilt [3] of Samaria, those who say, “As your god lives, Dan,” or, “The way of Beersheba lives”— they will fall, and they will never rise again. The Fifth Vision: The Lord Topples the Temple Amos 9 1 I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and he said: Strike the capitals on top of the pillars so that the thresholds shake. Cut them off so that they fall on the heads of all the people, and those who survive I will kill with the sword. No one who flees from there will get away, and not a single fugitive from among them will escape. 2 Even if they dig down to hell, [4] from there my hand will seize them. And even if they ascend to heaven, from there I will bring them down. 3 Even if they hide themselves on the top of Mount Carmel, from there I will search for them, and I will seize them. Even if they hide themselves from my sight at the bottom of the sea, from there I will command the serpent, and it will bite them. 4 Even if they go into captivity in the presence of their enemies, from there I will command the sword, and it will kill them. And I will set my eye upon them for disaster and not for good. The Lord Shakes the Earth 5 The Lord God of Armies is the one who touches the earth, so that it melts. All who dwell on it mourn. All of it rises like the Nile, and like the Nile of Egypt it sinks down again. 6 He is the one who builds his upper chambers in heaven. He set the foundation for his vault upon the earth. He is the one who summons the waters of the sea and pours them out over the face of the earth— the Lord is his name. The Final Judgment 7 Are you not like Cushites [5] to me, you children of Israel? declares the Lord. Did I not bring Israel up from the land of Egypt and the Philistines from Caphtor [6] and the Arameans from Kir? [7] 8 Look, the eyes of the Lord God are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth. But I will never completely destroy the house of Jacob, declares the Lord. 9 Listen! I am giving a command, and among all the nations I will shake the house of Israel as the contents of a sieve are shaken, and not even one pebble [8] will fall out to the ground. [9] 10 By a sword, all the sinners among my people will die, those who are saying, “Disaster will not overtake us. It will not confront us.” The Restoration of David's Fallen Shelter 11 In that day I will raise up the fallen shelter of David. I will repair the broken parts of its walls, and I will raise up its ruins. I will rebuild it as in days of old, 12 so that they will possess what remains of Edom, that is, all the nations who are called by my name, declares the Lord, who is doing this. 13 Look, days are coming, declares the Lord, when the plowman will catch up with the reaper, and the one who tramples grapes will catch up with the one sowing the seed. The mountains will drip sweet wine, [10] and all the hills will wave with grain. [11] 14 I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel, and they will rebuild the desolate cities and dwell in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine, and they will make gardens and eat their fruit. 15 I will plant them in their soil, and they will never again be uprooted from the soil that I have given to them, says the Lord your God. Footnotes Amos 8:5 Literally the ephah Amos 8:5 Merchants cheated by measuring out the grain they were selling with an undersized bushel and weighing the silver they received with an overweight shekel. Amos 8:14 Possibly a distortion of the name of the goddess Ashima/Asherah Amos 9:2 Hebrew sheol Amos 9:7 Cushites are black Africans from south of Egypt, from the territory that today is Sudan. Amos 9:7 That is, Crete or some other location in the Mediterranean Amos 9:7 The location of Kir is unknown. It is probably far to the north. Amos 9:9 Or kernel of grain Amos 9:9 The people of Israel are being sorted through a sieve.

Join Talk Cosmos as we explore the 20° Leo Solar Eclipse occurring a few weeks ahead on August 12. To give each of these powerful celestial markers sufficient attention, we will cover the August 12 Solar Eclipse in this episode and dive into the August 27 Pisces Lunar Eclipse later in the month.Nodal Dynamics & Critical DegreesThe Lunar Nodes move in reverse (clockwise around the zodiac) and have just entered the Aquarius North Node and Leo South Node. This New Moon in Leo comes into orb of a conjunction with the Leo South Node, marking the second solar eclipse of the year and the first under this new nodal axis.Furthermore, the nodes will hold at the critical 29th degree for over two months (from July 26 through October 9). This intense degree echoes the remaining residue of the previous Pisces-Virgo nodal cycle, which permeates through this pair of upcoming eclipses—the Solar Eclipse in Leo and the Lunar Eclipse tipping into Pisces.Navigating the EnergiesWe may feel a bit cautious yet deeply driven to realize our dreams and visions. Meanwhile, our inner life spark thrives on activating and nourishing personal relationships. What we value—and seek to align emotionally with our past—seems to evolve through immediate experience. Ultimately, we are deeply transmuting the foundational strategies and wisdom behind our core desires.Taking time to listen to our heart's internal direction recalibrates how we support our life path. Leo represents heart-centered leadership. By refining subtle, negatively intentional motives—such as unexamined anger or vengeance—we clear the path for fulfilling, authentic Leo leadership. Life invites us to use our creative gifts for the collective good, showing us where to release the ego's subtle demands for entitlement or arrogance so we can step fully into updated leadership roles within our communities. The Essence of the LuminaryAs our most personal luminary, the Moon regulates how the past flows into the present. It allows us to experience emotions, habits, and instinctual feelings, offering energetic input that helps piece together new meaning. In doing so, it supports our ongoing life story as we grow, heal, and evolve in mind, body, heart, and spirit.The ConversationJoining Sue Rose Minahan from Kailua-Kona, Big Island, Hawai'i, will be Talk Cosmos member Amanda Pierce of Seattle, Washington.Connect with inspiration!

August has arrived—and according to intuitive astrologer Stevie Calista, this isn't just another month. It's one of the most pivotal energetic periods of the year.After July's Mercury retrograde invited us to slow down, reflect, and reset, August accelerates the journey with two powerful eclipses, major planetary shifts, and an invitation to shed old identities in favor of something far more authentic.If you've been feeling like life has been nudging or pushing you toward change, you're not imagining it.In this episode, Stevie walks us through the astrological themes week by week, explaining what each major transit means, where to focus your energy, and how to navigate the month with greater clarity, trust, and intention.IN THIS EPISODE WE COVER:Why August 2026 eclipse season marks a major turning point filled with endings, beginnings, and soul-level course correctionsHow Saturn in Aries continues challenging us to release old identities and discover who we truly areThe meaning of Lammas (Lughnasadh) and why early August is the perfect time to celebrate gratitude, abundance, and the harvest in your own lifeHow Chiron retrograde invites deep healing while helping you recognize just how far you've already comeWhy Venus entering Libra encourages more balance, beauty, connection, and harmony in your relationships and daily lifeWhat it means as Mercury finally leaves its retrograde shadow and begins moving into new territoryHow Mercury in Leo inspires creativity, confidence, self-expression, and reconnecting with your inner childWhy Mars entering Cancer asks us to slow down, nurture ourselves, tend to home and family, and reconnect with our emotional rootsThe significance of the August 12 Solar Eclipse in Leo and how it may close important chapters while opening your heart to a new version of yourselfWhy this eclipse is less about forcing outcomes—and more about trusting where your soul is already leading youThe caution around Mars square Neptune, and why it's important to avoid making emotionally reactive decisions during the third week of the monthWhat Virgo season brings as we transition into healthier routines, organization, productivity, and grounded momentumHow the Mercury cycle reaches an important midpoint, offering an opportunity to reflect, refine, and adjust projects or ideas that began in JulyThe meaning of the August 28 Pisces Lunar Eclipse, and why surrender, intuition, and trusting the unknown become your greatest strengthsWhy 2026 continues to feel like a year of brand-new territory—and how to embrace the uncertainty instead of resisting itThroughout the conversation, Stevie reminds us that astrology is a powerful tool for understanding the larger cycles unfolding in our lives, helping us work with the energy instead of against it.If August feels intense, know that you're not alone. This month's astrology is inviting all of us to release what no longer fits, reconnect with our hearts, and step into a more authentic version of ourselves—one choice at a time.MORE WITH STEVIE CALISTAVisit steviecalista.com to learn more about Stevie's astrology readings, classes, and current offerings.Follow Stevie on Instagram: @farmhousemoonSubscribe to Stevie on Substack: @farmhousemoonSOLAR ECLIPSE VISIBILITYPath of Totality: Greenland, Iceland, Spain and Portugal, Russia:Partial Eclipse Regions:North America: Parts of Alaska and northeastern Canada/U.S. see a minor partial eclipse. i.e., New York will have about 9% coverage and Detroit roughly 3%.Europe + Africa: Much of Europe and northwestern Africa experience a deep partial eclipse near sunset Visit seekingcentercommunity.com for more with Robyn + Karen and many of the guides on Seeking Center: The Podcast.
