Both the Sun and the Moon have been eclipsed! Historically, this was a time that ancient people once feared signaled the end of the world. But in astrology, eclipses are never about endings alone; they’re invitations into accelerated change, healing, and new beginnings. Astrology is information—a way of experiencing the cosmos, the people around us, and ourselves in real time. And right now, the sky is rich with lessons. Key dates to recall:

• Two New Moons in Virgo (Aug 23 + Sept 21 partial solar eclipse)
• A powerful Pisces Full Moon on Sept 7 (bringing release, endings, and illumination)
• Saturn moving through Pisces until Feb 13 (and won’t be back here for 28 years!)

In this episode, Katie explores:

• Why new moons open doors to beginnings, full moons close cycles, and eclipses amplify it all
• The Virgo–Pisces axis: balancing discernment, discipline, and structure (Virgo) with surrender, intuition, and creativity (Pisces)
• Virgo’s shadow of perfectionism and “never enough” thinking, and how embracing your imperfections can be your truest gift
• Pisces’ shadow of escapism and illusion, and how to ground your dream state into reality
• The reminder that you cannot lose what is truly yours (trust that what’s unfolding is exactly as it should be!)
• Why eclipse energy feels like life is “sped up”
• How to release repeating patterns and illusions under the Pisces Full Moon
• The importance of processing emotions somatically instead of bypassing them
• The North Node & South Node: soul lessons versus innate gifts
• How this Pisces Full Moon eclipse will affect you, based on your rising sign

The message of this Virgo season? Stop waiting for life to be perfect. Stop waiting for the fairytale version of what you thought it should be. The more we try to control or escape, the louder the discomfort becomes. This is all there is… and that’s the beauty of it.
