Overview 

The August 7th Full Moon eclipse in Aquarius is the focal point of a Boomerang Yod; Pluto and Neptune make inconjuncts to the Sun/Mars in Leo, which opposes the Aquarius Moon. Power, manipulation and confusion are funnelled into fiery Leo. The result can be discordant displays of power or (if handled properly) powerful achievements that have a higher purpose. This energy is released through the Aquarius Moon – results will go public, disrupt and liberate. 

The Moon is assisted by a trine from Jupiter in Libra, making events bigger (and maybe better). The separating Jupiter/Pluto square adds a last gasp of fanaticism or superhuman effort.    

Venus in Cancer trines Neptune Rx in Pisces on August 12th, followed by Mercury’s Rx station in Virgo. Moments of sweet release, nostalgia or romance will lead to intensive questioning and examination of the facts. Pure emotion and creativity can trigger an intensified logic dump, along with delays, reversals and corrections. Basically, Venus/Neptune’s gentle impact will compel you to look again. 

Aries

The eclipse in your social sector can illuminate an issue with friends, groups or something you’ve been trying to go public with. You may not be fully prepared for how public this will be. Jupiter can enable good vibes on all relationship levels (romantic, platonic or business) but there will also be a undertones of competition and success at all costs. If you’re looking to stir something up, you could get more than you bargained for. Taking on the powers that be with an idealistic crusade could be a theme. 

Neptune Rx trine Venus in your domestic sector can open up moments of nostalgia and healing, as secrets from the past are gently revealed. Mercury Rx in your sector of routine suggests the reveal could lead to a more intensive search for solutions, or a second look at health/work issues. 

Taurus

The eclipse in your career sector suggests a major turning point with a job, career direction, job search or your idea of success. Pressure at home/from family members, as well as attempts to meet a larger ideal, may culminate in a push for achievement. Or an exit. There will be some favourable reactions (from those in authority) to your work, so this could be a success (perhaps a promotion). But your efforts to impress may be a bit misguided- consider who’s really driving your efforts, and how you feel about what you’ve achieved. If there is an exit, it may be based on a mismatch between your professional ideals versus what others have in mind.

Neptune Rx trine Venus in your communication sector suggests a romantic or compassionate release, via words or tender thoughts. What unfolds can soften you up, and Mercury Rx in your sector of self-expression suggests this could give you second thoughts about an attraction, creative work or issue with children/pregnancy. Creative and empathetic communication are favoured. In some cases, a past lover or crush may reemerge. 

Gemini

The eclipse in your sector of opportunities can push you into a brand new area. Long-distance travel, education, legal matters or publishing may call for your exploration. There’s a sense of adventure and a bit of risk. A hot announcement, conversation or idea could propel you, and you may be motivated by a desire to set things right, break free or go public with your ideas. Results in the above areas could feature a dose of the unexpected – a win may have some hidden strings attached, or could open up unexpected avenues. Watch for unacknowledged attempts to manipulate the situation – try to keep everything as straightforward and open as possible. 

Neptune Rx trine Venus in your sector of personal resources suggests an increase in satisfaction and/or money from your work. Creative inspiration and lucrative opportunities can flow, and Mercury Rx in your domestic sector suggests this may bring up some old family discussions, or second thoughts about relocating, home improvements or a home business. 

Cancer

The eclipse in your sector of shared resources can feel overwhelming, as someone else’s impact on your finances is illuminated. There may be a struggle for control, or a surge of inspiration as you realize a partner can help you out. Too, intimacy issues can reach a turning point – it may be time to do things differently or expose a secret. Unbalanced partnership issues (regarding finances or emotional investment) may reach a crisis point, as one person pushes for change and the other resists. Use caution if you’re making a major purchase – things can quickly add up, and the final cost may be bigger than anticipated. 

Neptune Rx trine Venus in your sign can increase your compassion, love or desire to reach out and help. You could receive a glimpse of a future dream – a fantasy that suddenly seems real. Don’t discount this, because Mercury Rx in your communication sector is asking you to reformulate your ideas or answers, in response. The crazy dream may not be so crazy – maybe it’s time to ask again or take a second look at the facts. 

Leo

The eclipse in your partnership sector can introduce you to someone life-changing, or accelerate developments in an existing relationship. Either way, the theme will be your assertiveness setting the pace. Whether you make the first move or decide to call time, the ball’s in your court. Communication and introductions are favoured, but watch for pushiness based on your conviction that you know what’s best. This eclipse will provide some big revelations, but compromise will not be a strong point. 

Neptune Rx trine Venus in your hidden sector can open up a background potential, secret desire or attraction. Private financial matters may also be triggered. Things may develop behind the scenes, but Mercury Rx in your sector or personal resources sees you openly revising, revisiting or questioning financial issues and matters of security. It may be time to take a closer look at what you have versus what you’d like to have. Financial discussions can encounter delays due to errors, omissions or hidden details. 

Virgo

The eclipse in your sector of routine emphasizes health or work issues, specifically improvements, diagnoses or solutions. A sudden realization or the exposure of a flaw can hit you unexpectedly, as hidden actions trigger open problems. Progress is certainly possible, especially if you’re willing to innovate, dive into the unknown or expand on what you already know. But watch that improvements/progress are done for the sake of making things better, not to serve an ego agenda. A push for attention can hijack positive efforts. 

Neptune Rx trine Venus in our social sector offers moments of relationship harmony. Platonic or romantic partnerships can progress smoothly, with increased emotional connection or unconditional love. Mercury Rx in your sign suggests these developments will push you to rethink a situation, or ask yourself some pointed questions. Self-analysis is something you excel at, so you can expect some fruitful results as you dig deep and closely examine exactly what’s fixable and what needs to be discarded. 

Libra

The eclipse in your sector of self-expression can put you in the spotlight, as you reap the results of a creative project, new romance or public launch. Your efforts to attract attention, or perhaps a challenge from someone else, can trigger dynamic events. The trine to Jupiter in your sign says that you stand to benefit, even if you have to deal with discordant changes at home/with family. This can be a winner for you, as long as you don’t allow insecurity or lack of focus toundermine your moment in the sun. Keep your eyes on what’s good. 

Neptune Rx trine Venus in your career sector can enable favourable professional relationships and positive attention for your ability to connect with others. Your efforts to help or serve will be appreciated, and the response will trigger a process of soul-searching about career or relationships. Mercury Rx in your hidden sector can see you reconsidering what has ultimate meaning for you

Scorpio

The eclipse in your domestic sector can bring a conclusion to home or family matters – a home business, relocation or ending of a family chapter/start of another are possibilities. Your efforts to move forward and create a better future for yourself (and those closest to you) will be key, and you could find that things turn out unexpectedly well. However, watch for a tendency to make dramatic, all-or-nothing statements about what must happen – there are some things you won’t have control over, and this may work in your favour. 

Neptune Rx trine Venus in your sector of opportunities can open up somethingpromising in the areas of travel, long-distance romance, education or legal matters. Creative or romantic developments can have a dream-come-true vibe, and you’ll find that things flow easily in the direction they’re meant to go. Let it happen. Mercury Rx in your social sector suggests you’ll be looking more closely at a friendship, group association or your public image. Certain people may not have your best interests at heart. You could be made aware of what they’re missing, or their criticisms may cut close to home. 

Sagittarius

The eclipse in your communication sector can deliver an eye-opening answer, discussion, piece of information or meeting. You may decide to speak out, or you could receive results from your efforts around travel, education, legal matters or publishing. What you learn could be good news, and what you say should be well-received by others (especially if this is a public launch). However, watch for muddling effects from lingering insecurities or unresolved home and financial issues. Avoid the temptation to keep pushing the issue if you’ve already succeeded. 

Neptune Rx trine Venus in your sector of shared resources indicates deeper moments of calm, intimacy or gentle understanding. A financial gift or loophole could work out nicely (especially in the area of home finances). Or, a domestic partnership could reach new levels of closeness. Mercury Rx in your career sector adds a rethink of future goals. A job opportunity from the past may reappear, or there may be delays/corrections with a current opportunity. 

Capricorn

The eclipse in your sector of personal resources can trigger bright results in the areas of earned money or self-esteem. There could be a financial bonus (as a reward from work) or an increase in salary. Your current achievements can boost your security and sense that it’s time to try something daring. Your response to matters that were beyond your control (someone else calling the shots, a dispute with a partner) could be a perfect example of adversity fuelling innovation. However, the inconjunct to Pluto Rx in your sign is a warning about attempted domination. Don’t steamroll others, just because you can succeed. Be aware of the real message you’re sending – unconscious factors and unmet expectations can muddy the waters. 

Neptune Rx trine Venus in your partnership sector enables moments of romance and unconditional love to unfold with a partner. Communication can open some new doors, as you effortlessly harmonize with each other. Excellent for all matters of compromise or reaching out to make amends. Mercury Rx in your sector of opportunities sees you looking more closely at the bigger picture. Details around travel, education, legal matters or publishing will be scrutinized, as you backtrack to refine your long-term plans. Too, there may be delays in these areas.  

Aquarius

The eclipse in your sign can wake you up, either with surge of energy/clarity, or the introduction of someone who challenges you. Watch for hidden motivations or background manipulations – you’ll have to be on your toes for this one. There could be a meeting with a potential partner, or someone who reflects your passion and intent back at you. Too, you may decide that it’s time to jump into something new. For some, a graduation or achievement could be featured. Whether events are uplifting or challenging, Jupiter’s positive input gives you a surge of confidence and luck – just go where your instincts lead you. You’ll know what to do. 

Neptune Rx trine Venus in your sector of routine suggests work tasks or health issues can unfold smoothly. Gentle healing and improvement are possible – if you’ve been stressed, this influence will offer you time to catch your breath. Compassion and service to others is also emphasized. Meanwhile, Mercury Rx in your sector of shared resources can see you digging deeper into a financial, intimacy or psychological issue. A private or sensitive discussion may be revisited, or you may have to revise your approach to debts, taxes or your partners finances. Too, this can be a time of soul searching and internal analysis. 

Pisces

The eclipse in your hidden sector can bring a secret out into the open. Increased pressure at work or a surge of anger/physical action can trigger more than anticipated. Something in your blind spot can gain clarity, or repressed issues may finally explode. The inconjunct to Neptune Rx in your sign suggests that the initial trigger may involve a weakness, vulnerability or questionable action. Perhaps an unhealthy habit finally tips you over the edge. Positive potentials include no more reasons to hide, and nothing to be ashamed of. 

Neptune Rx trine Venus in your sector of self-expression can introduce a dreamy new attraction or sweet moments of joy, peace and celebration. While the moment may seem light, it’s combined with Mercury Rx in your partnership sector. This means you’ll be rethinking a relationship issue, or reconnecting with a previous attraction. Too, you’ll be taking a much closer look at the specifics of what your partner says.
