Lunar Eclipse in Pisces
Stardrops August 23 2026
Friends,
We’re wrapping up a strange June – August so far, where it appears much personal reflection, processing and a continuation of digging deep inside of ourselves has been necessary. This period has gone by so quickly – I can still see however, the positive Epic Astrology we have been talking about since early 2026, is happening. It is tearing away layers of non productive attitudes, beliefs, subconscious rock hard patterns which continue to keep us distant from our own aspirations. At the same time, motivating our Will and Determination to experience ultimate Freedom! It hasn’t been easy, but please hang in there, it will pay off as the Uranus/Pluto/Saturn-Neptune cycles discussed in the past Stardrops, and now Jupiter in Leo, all continue to play out an incredible disentangling of past problems and unhappy moments into a brand new YOU. This will be ongoing throughout 2026-2027. If you are curious about these particular Epic cycles, please review HERE.
Lunar Eclipse
Lunar Eclipse August 27 2026 The Inspired moment we make a clear decision to re-align ourselves with a better situation for our lives in all ways and our self perfection. Acting upon an important clarity, an unprecedented insight of a logical nature, saying to us, we must move forward in order to reach a specific outcome, and clear away negative energies.

Let’s break it down...
The above statement theme, may seem contradictory, as usually I caution people to not trust our inspired impulsive actions or decisions during a Lunar Eclipse. Because it is in Virgo/Pisces, a purification and self perfection theme is occurring. And because it’s square to Uranus, which means, a possible step up of drama or tense week (several areas in U.S. without power at this time of writing)… this could result in another deeper realization one needs to step up one’s situation in some way, a purge or removal of some form of negative person/situation or maybe just our own unproductive behavior, or even dark energy, There is the possibility to take action from these motivations, or sudden awareness or even an emergency. However, let’s go into the deeper parts of this planetary energy.
The Lunar Eclipse Analysis
The Full Moon in Pisces at 4 degrees represents a precarious time for some unstable emotional issues popping up. Be cautious with making final impulsive decisions. These decisions surround issues with work, projects, attempting to use your logical analytical deductive reasoning in order to predict how to move forward with a situation – per-plan for the future. Because it is Lunar Eclipse time – it has an unreliable uneasy and disappointing potential.
Because the Moon is in trine Mars, there is productive guidance, actions and insights made around the 27th, which are emotionally re-assuring. Mars in Cancer deals with family domestic issues, home issues, security and financial needs, income certainty requirements, etc… and even though it’s a trine which is positive and re-enforcing for security – there is still an issue going on which could feel disappointing or upsetting that may need to be addressed. This again is because of the effect of the Uranus square.
The Lunar Eclipse oppose Sun/Mercury at 4 / 5 degrees Virgo simply requires mental reviewing and revolving over particular plans, projects, data, content, work. And, the square to transiting Uranus at 5 degrees Gemini amplifies the entire last two weeks of August, into the 1st week of September with the possibility of unexpected disruptions to any important plans. The plans, the agendas, your schedules which had been set could all be basically, thrown up in the air because of circumstances beyond your control. This may all come about via news, emails, phone calls, text messages, some form of new information, or even following a meeting or important discussion, a change of attitude, or change of plans. In addition, an issue of an injustice, something which from your view, appears not fair, can definitely be a major theme from this Lunar Eclipse.
The ruler of Pisces Full Moon (eclipse) is Neptune – Neptune is at 3* Aries, semi-sextile Moon, and inconjunct Sun/Mercury at 4/5 degrees Virgo. The nature of Neptune, is spiritual. An increase for the need for a high spiritual ritual, divine service or work beyond meditation, such as purging house with Frankincense, wearing specific essential oils, clearing body with stainless steel knife or sword work, and calling for the Divine Archangels to remove all negative entities and energies from one’s aura, home, car, family and those you work with. Whatever prompts you to re-align yourself, Neptune inconjunct compels us to come up higher and shift into a new standard or a new expectation with life.
We want to call for the protection of our lives from any unexpected hard news, accidents, vehicle issues, data, news, info which needs to be cleared, handled, and not react.
Affirmation
I AM assured, the highest good is always looking out for my welfare now. I AM secure in time and space as long as I AM here, protected by the great Divine Source, the I AM that I AM, Archangel Michael, and my own guardian beings of great light.
All things are always in order in my life, and I Am declaring the reversing, dissolving and removal of any negativity of planetary activities NOW.
Neptune is 7 degrees away from conjunction to Saturn – (was exact February 2026) Article excerpt of the epic meaning of this conjunction found HERE._) The need to continue integrating with our true self identity in our Higher Self, and identifying with our real true Self, meditating on that, and knowing it is real and true, will most likely continue.
Neptune at 3* Aries sextles Pluto at 3* Aquarius, sextiles Uranus at 5* Gemini; conjoin Fixed Star Deneb Kaitos.
The sextiles and trines are positive for advancing in our mastery, increasing our goals for happiness, achieving positive outcomes in spite of any interference in our lives.
The conjunction to the fixed star Deneb Kaitos, is overlaying an additional energy of possible war or increase challenges globally erupting …but in our own lives, …..
Neptune conjunct Deneb Kaitos (Fixed Star): definition – adds an energy of some challenges we have to face…some Disagreeable, fixed opinions. Possible mechanical or inventive necessities and ability. Peculiar religious ideas or issues, very zealous, domestic disagreements, sorrow caused through some secrets, trouble through children, disagreement with or separation from a parent, harm through anonymous letters, loss through mercurial affairs (quick, impulsive duplicitous and lacking ethical thoughtful actions) and fire, death often by fire. [6] James Earl Ray These are very old observations of the patterns of this Fixed Star….let’s see if any of these issues actually play out as it conjoins the nebulous, mysterious planet Neptune
The synopsis, is to give the Affirmations ( or one of your own) and stick close to an ethical integrity honest nature, decisions, inspirations and actions. Keep close to people who are safe and positive. Try not to make any sudden impulsive purchases.
Issues pertaining to slow blood flow, circulatory issues possibly – since it also has a Mars/Saturn nature. Also issues with Feet, walking, shoes – also immune system, digestion, healthy pro-bio-tic nature in digestion system and any health issues coming up.
Have domestic, security, money analysis, projects involving bookkeeping, working on a specific task intensely – food, water, etc….prepared. Because of the Uranus square, and the /fixed Star, we want to be prepared for any unexpected situation.
When to watch out for signs this Lunar eclipse is activating it’s theme and showing up in your life? Now up through September 2, mainly August 26-27-28.
Other Planetary Cycles
August 22 Sun enters Virgo today. Now through September 21. One of the several layers of themes we’re possibly sensing will be a Virgo theme because of the Sun’s movement through Virgo. Virgo will be all things pertaining to detailed sharpness of focus, analysis and micro decisions which make all the difference in reaching our goals. Health, work, self analysis, etc… are all positive self improvement activities.
August 23 Venus square Hades As Venus squares Hades (Sunday/Monday) a challenge with conflicting personalities or energy which could feel unsettling – watch for engaging in conflicts with a social situation where you may have desired a happy event free time with others. Be cautious!
August 25-26-27 Sun and Mercury at 3* Virgo inconjunct Pluto at 3* Aquarius, and Neptune at 3* Aries forming a bisected Finger of God (YOD) from 25 – 27th Lunar Eclipse moment.
Again, reviewing more details of the entire week prior to August 27, Lunar Eclipse, a YOD energy means, we will most likely be painted into a corner in a way – forced to face some inevitable path to walk, which rapidly gets the job done. The motive is Love, Honor, Create a higher life situation. An adjustment, change, a shift is required, choices need to be made.
Whatever that job is that issue or situation you know what you must do or what you must handle, the pressure to be Virgo detailed and reverse engineer the entire journey will be required. Go to the end results you desire, and keep walking backwards in your mind, step by step to get to your present position now! Make this happen for your greatest achievement of reaching a satisfactory result. Try not to completely rely upon certain people’s judgment, pressure or opinions, which already feel a bit off around August 27.
Take apart your path in steps, minuscule micro responsibilities, log and list them so you can cross them off your list one by one. Try not to overspend – as we said before, remain in your key motive and purpose of integrity as to why you are doing this with your whole heart.
Planetary Cycles continue….
Sun/Mercury conjunction exact at 4* Virgo. A powerful moment of intelligent brilliant analytical sharpness. Excellent for relaying information, writing, speaking, planning and designing what you desire to occur in your immediate life situations.
August 28 Mercury and Sun at 5* Virgo square Uranus at 5* Gemini – The unexpected, the interference of information, driving and traveling, quick trips, decisions are concise, exact, quick and immediate many times – impulsive. Sometimes a brilliant decision can be made, even though a bit rash, yet maybe it’s just what is needed. The desire to get away – change your circumstances quickly – reject, push away or avoid anything boring, mundane and ho hum.
August 26- September 5 Jupiter trine Saturn
This transit is a stronger cycle than typical, and so it adds a blanket of protection, internal guidance, common sense and protection. It can enhance progress with work, projects, and activities you’re engaged in now. The Saturn/Jupiter transit adds a helpful layer to the highly active cycles we’ve already discussed above…those Lunar Eclipse alignments which bring a sharpening of insight into our lives, making smarter decisions, eliminating negative or non-productive things and projects, becoming incredibly clear what will be required we need to face and walk through. This new Saturn/Jupiter helps bring it all together, so we feel whatever conclusion we’ve come to, it’s doable. It is good for legal, business, financial decisions…(although I would still avoid August 27).
Saturn trine Jupiter protects the entire procedure, plan or insight. It is positive for work, profession, good fortune for employment. It is positive for travel if one has to, during this period.
It’s positive for performance, presentations, art and music, business administration. It’s perfect for health goals, home constructions or renovations and clearly addressing these issues with reality and smart action plans.
It’s positive for your clear precise financial decisions – analysis, (maybe not making the actual investments, purchases until after the 27th, etc..just the plans)
Jupiter is expansive and Saturn asks for prudence and reality based plans, creation, building, construction of something formidable. It would represent a positive time to hyper focus on a project and really cut through, receiving an incredible positive energized downpour of inspiration to get the job done. These planets can protect the entire process.
…. I am stopping here, as there will be much to write about once we enter September. It is going to be a an exciting string of events one after the other and won’t stop until we get to pretty much the end of February 2027….Let’s Review…
Wait! Future Planetary Trends
