Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces: Of Consequence and Release

The central theme is:What we are ready to repair must first be met honestly.

The New Moon in Virgo is exact on September 10, 2026, at 11:27 p.m. Eastern, at 18°26′ Virgo.

This week begins with Venus still in Libra.The relational field is trying to find balance and A cleaner way of meeting one another.But by September 10th, the tone changes.

Venus enters her pre-retrograde shadow on August 31, 2026, at 22° Libra 52′, before stationing retrograde on October 3, 2026, at 8° Scorpio 29′/30′. That same day, Jupiter in Leo trines Saturn retrograde in Aries; on September 1, Mars in Cancer squares Saturn retrograde in Aries while Mercury in Virgo sextiles Mars

The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces perfects on August 28, 2026, around 12:18 a.m. Eastern, with the Moon near 4°53′ Pisces opposite the Sun in Virgo.

Mercury enters Virgo and trines Chiron retrograde in Taurus on August 25, Mercury is cazimi the Sun in Virgo on August 27, and the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces perfects early August 28, followed by Mercury and the Sun in Virgo squaring Uranus in Gemini. 

This week carries the aftercurrent of the eclipse. The week begins with fire that can find structure. And, the Sun leaves Leo for Virgo, asking us to take the fire and make it useful.

I treat the August 12 Solar Eclipse in Leo as a separate recorded episode and kept focused on Mars entering Cancer, Mercury’s Leo aspects, and the movement from emotional action into expressive confidence. Mars enters Cancer on August 11, Mercury in Leo sextiles Venus in Libra on August 13, and Mercury conjoins Jupiter in Leo on August 15

Astrological calendars place the New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Leo around 20° Leo, with Saturn retrograde in Aries forming the stabilizing fire-sign support.

This week begins with Chiron stationing retrograde in Taurus. That means the week opens by turning us inward around worth, safety, the body, money, stability, and the places where we are still learning how to receive without flinching.
