Horoscopes for September 2025 — Eclipses in Pisces and Virgo!

Hey everyone. This is Adam Elenbaas from Nightlight Astrology [https://nightlightastrology.com/].

Today I am joined by my colleagues to break down your horoscopes for the month of September. You guys met all the new co-hosts last month, but if you haven't met them yet, I'll reintroduce them to you today. Very excited to have a new group of people helping me do horoscopes month by month.

Today we're going to be looking at your horoscopes for September, for Sun and rising signs. You can listen to these. And we're going to be looking at the lunar eclipse coming up in Pisces, followed by a solar eclipse in Virgo. We'll talk a little bit generally at the outset of today's conversation about the significations of solar and lunar eclipses in general.

Maybe some thoughts about the Virgo-Pisces axis, and then we'll take turns breaking down your sun or rising sign horoscopes. You can listen to these for either, always, though I recommend your rising sign because from the whole sign house perspective, your rising sign horoscope will always correspond with the transits to your actual natal chart. So, but if you listen to your sun sign, that's fine, too.

Okay. Well, on that note, before we get into it, as always, remember to like and subscribe, to give that little thumbs up. If you drop a comment in the comment section, certainly if you subscribe, if you're not yet, all of that helps us tremendously to grow this community and channel. That's how we keep going as a business and community.

You can find transcripts of any of these daily talks on the website nightlightastrology.com. When you are there, for this month of August, our promotion is for the retreat that we're taking next June. So if you go to the events, go to immersive retreat, the Oracle Within: A Training in the Theory and Practice of Divinatory Astrology takes place next June of 2026 in Mexico.

We are almost getting to almost halfway full as I'm recording this, just the first week or so of the registration being open. So the early bird lasts until October, early October. But I would try to get in on this as soon as you can, if you want to go. And at the end of today's talk, after I sign off, there's an informational video telling you everything you need to know about the retreat, what it includes, who it's for, in terms of what background you need to have, how to register, what the format of the retreat is like.

So check that out at the end today if you are interested, and be sure to check out all of our other offerings. We have a shop filled with all sorts of workshops and talks, our courses. We have another first year course starting in November, our affordable reading service that has different tiered pricings of reading so that people are not priced out of readings with talented students from our programs, all sorts of really good stuff to check out there.

Okay, on that note, I am very excited to bring our crew back. Kelsey, Emily, Mal, Q, welcome back, guys.

Unknown Speaker: Hey everybody. Hey,

Adam Elenbaas: yay. It's good to be back. August was a powerful month. That meeting of the benefics that we focused on last month, in my own chart, was very powerful in terms of some family events that came up. I told the story on my YouTube channel, and I can't wait to hear from you guys and what you thought about it.

Maybe we could reflect on that just a little bit at the beginning, but like, one of the things that happened was my dad visited, and this was maybe tied to the Mercury retrograde in Leo, because that's in my fourth house, home and family. But he brought all of this memorabilia from my grandfather, who was a veteran, and in it we discovered these letters that he wrote to me when I was a little, little child, like a baby, and my dad had—I've never seen them before.

My dad had forgotten about them since I was a little baby, and we just happened to discover all of these handwritten letters that came from my grandfather as Mercury was literally appearing as a morning star in the house of parents and home and family. But that also coincided with the meaning of the benefics in Cancer, and it was really amazing, because my grandpa was a really stoic, like hard working, just kind of very Capricornian type of person.

He's actually a Leo, but so there was this incredibly funny, sensitive, gentle side to him that I got to see through these letters that I'd never seen before that happened when the benefics came together and Mercury was appearing as the morning star after its retrograde. So it's like a really wild, unexpected, very emotional for me, kind of moment. I told that story last week on the channel.

But anyway, what were, what was it like for you guys? What did you notice, or what did you see in the people around you? Or, yeah, I just love to hear about that.

Que'Nyse: Oh, I mean, like we said before, we were crying, we we already, we connected with one another, and we talked about how tears have been shed. It's been very interesting. I think that, like, what I shared with them was just like, it's been heartbreaking, like it's like my heart has been broken open again and again and again, and it's helped me tap into my compassion and capability to be there and be compassionate for others.

But it's been painstakingly, like, ooh, out, like, not comfy, but like, needed and therapeutic. But yeah, it's it. We've had, like, passings in the family. There was, like, an accident with children, like, my partner's sister and her children were in a car accident, and then, like, we found out another person that we know passed suddenly.

So it's been like, a lot of like, Whoa, what is my—but very ancestral. So, yeah, it's been a lot waves, for sure.

Emily Tatomer: Yeah, yeah. I think tender, emotionally tender, has been the word that that I've been hearing from a lot of people, clients and friends, and I have felt myself, I think I was a little unprepared, actually, for that. I was like, Oh, this is going to be this lovely transit. So I was really grateful, Adam for all your coverage of the more shadow side of this benefic conjunction on your channel in the last week or so, because it was really like, kind of like, heart achy, tender for me. Yeah,

Adam Elenbaas: yeah. I thought the one of the things that I wasn't anticipating was how it it really struck some chords around unmet or even unrecognized emotional needs. I was like, oh, there's these parts of me that need more care, you know, need. And I felt like that was a theme around me and my family, just like I just noticed, like ever there's a lot going on right now about what are our unmet needs?

And, of course, as we're adults and we're looking at that stuff, there's usually a connection to how we were raised or our background that's can be really interesting, but also kind of challenging, especially if your parents are literally visiting. So it's always like, you know? It's like, Ram Dass said, if you think you're enlightened, spend a week with your family. Yeah. Family.

So yeah, well, that was a powerful connection. And as always, if you out there are listening to this and you have a story to share, drop us your story in the comments. If you're open to sharing it, you can use the hashtag. Tell us Venus Jupiter and Cancer. Tell us your story. Or maybe it was something else. We had that very gnarly Mars opposition to Saturn and Neptune that, wow, that was something else too.

Even as we're recording this, we're just coming off a weekend in which Mercury made two very bizarre little sextiles and then was enclosed between the malefics. In the meantime, that was interesting. It was like walking into a little secret room in my psyche. But yeah, that was a lot of fascinating transit. So if there's another one that we didn't cover in our horoscopes, feel free to drop anything to us, or you can email us. grab@nightlightastrology.com

This month we're looking at the eclipses. Now we are officially back in eclipse season. So that usually means there will be a rush of new subscribers, because people watch astrology around the eclipses, especially, it's always like, you can time it. I'm like, Oh, well, viewership will probably spike this month because it's eclipse season again. And as soon as you get eclipse in a YouTube title, there's lots more clicks.

But why? Like? Why? Why are these eclipses so powerful? Why do they trigger something so deep in us? Because, you know, there's a lot more people who aren't daily into astrology, whose ears perk up when it's eclipse season. The reason for that outside of it having thousands of years of historical weight across our entire planet, not just in the Hellenistic astrological tradition, but in many different traditions, is that they carry history.

Eclipse cycles are like every month we have a new moon and we have a full moon, and that is a cycle that, you know, our psychic clocks are wired to that cycle, whether we track the moon regularly or not. We're moving along those cycles all the time, and the new moons are always the seeding point of a new cycle. The full moons usually bring that cycle's fruits onto the tree, heavy, dense.

There's they're a culminating point, or a fruiting point, karmically, and then they shed their fruit, and we sort of integrate the cycle. Then we start again. When eclipses come around, which happen in sets every year, what we're talking about is that particular cycles, within a year are going to carry this weight where it's not just that monthly cycle.

It's years of cycles that have recurred in the same place. And every nine years, every 18 years, we're planting new seeds within much longer arcs of time, you could say, and we're gathering the fruits of those cycles, experiencing the current harvesting of old cycles. Our solar eclipses are typically about the start of new cycles and the planting of new seeds.

However, when you have solar eclipses around the south node of the moon, what's interesting is that the south node has this connotation throughout astrological history, of being about harvesting and gathering of insights from past cycles. So what's interesting about the upcoming solar eclipse that we have is that it's with the South Node in Virgo, there can be a distinct feeling of a new cycle that is beginning, but it's closely associated with the harvesting of long, developing lessons, insights, patterns, themes.

I like to think of it like south node has long been associated, for example, with people hitting rock bottom and getting sober. It's a very South Node kind of metaphor doesn't have to be that extreme, of course, but when we have solar eclipses around the South Node, you get the feeling of like someone's going to rehab. It's a new chapter, but it's rooted in I've got to clear the past.

The north node—we have a lunar eclipse coming up which is interesting, because it's kind of the opposite scenario. North Node eclipses typically are about the future and desire, and the way that desire is taking us into areas that have been relatively unexplored. There's a real hunger, thirst, there's something we haven't done, haven't tasted, haven't developed, or there's an eagerness or excitement about something that's relatively unknown.

And so we have a lunar eclipse in Pisces around the North Node coming up, which is, again, a little bit almost like a little paradoxical, because a lunar eclipse is bringing things to fruition that have history behind them. But here we're talking about something coming to fruition that has history behind it, that's also taking place in an area where there are relatively new desires taking shape.

This means that there's a real, profound opportunity to be reflecting on what kinds of desires we've been trying to work with or develop, especially in the Pisces area of our birth chart, that we're getting some really powerful feedback around that can continue to shape and refine and direct our path going forward.

So these north node eclipses in Pisces are still very much about the future and unknown desires and new frontiers, but the culmination of events in a lunar eclipse around that North Node have the power to give us almost like instant feedback along the new path. So that's how I've been thinking about it.

There's other things we could say about the Virgo Pisces axis, or anything else that comes to mind with these eclipses. But again, the full moon, lunar eclipses have a sense of harvesting old cycles, bringing things to culmination, closure, completion or resolution, whereas the solar eclipses tend to plant new seeds, open new chapters.

I think that's a reliable way of thinking about them. What else could we add to the equation that might be useful for everyone? Just popcorn. Whoever wants to jump in?

Mallory Hasty: Yeah. I associate the Virgo Pisces axis with our karma around service, and maybe even that martyr archetype, like, why are we giving what we do to others and where does it come from? Are we being of service because there's some, like, underlying belief that we're not good enough, or we don't deserve a seat at the table, so we're giving, giving, giving in order to earn our keep?

Or are we giving and being of service because we feel it's in our like, highest good and we also receive from giving when it's in alignment. So I think a lot of those themes could be coming up around eclipse season, like giving too much, or having reckonings with why am I making this person my project? Or why am I obligated to this task that doesn't actually fit how I want to be of service?

Adam Elenbaas: Yeah? Nice,

Kelsey Faith Wells: yeah. I'll hop in, just echoing that as well. I was thinking a lot about how this axis helps us to really align our unconscious intentions with our conscious intentions. So like, let's say we have this call right now to move forward towards a new opportunity, a new job, a new relationship, and our conscious intention is, I'm ready for this.

Mm. But if we have an unconscious intention that's, you know, I'm attached to this comfort of this familiar experience that I have, even though it's, you know, not something that I'm connected with anymore, it can be really hard to disconnect from that. So I think a lot of last month with the Cancerian welling up of emotions and some of the relational challenges that we had to face, it's helping us to reconnect our unconscious intentions with, you know, what we're actually saying that we want,

Adam Elenbaas: I love that. That's a really nice play with the solar lunar eclipses around South and North Node. That's that's really subtle, but really nice.

Emily Tatomer: The way I've been thinking about this—bear with me here—is that this, this eclipse series, is a little unique in that this is the only season within the Virgo Pisces axis when we have eclipses solely on that axis. Our last—our first Pisces Eclipse and our first Virgo Eclipse were paired with the Aries Libra axis.

And then right away, in our next eclipse season, in February and March of next year, we're having an Aquarius Eclipse come in. So this feels—this eclipse season, feels a bit like a fulcrum in the series of eclipses along the Virgo Pisces axis. And to me, I'm thinking of the—you know, so many astrologers have been talking about 2025 and 2026 as this threshold period between old and new with all of those outer planets moving into new signs, and this period of time with this season, that's solely on the Virgo Pisces axis in the middle of this series, with our only solar eclipse in the whole series, and it's an anaretic solar eclipse on the south node that you already talked about, Adam.

This feels to me like whatever kind of karmic or photic shifts that are happening in this next three to six month window are the final—final it's like the fluffing off the final processing of the old, and then we're moving into whatever the new is coming in. And that's—I'm looking at it in that sense, on a much more kind of collective, mundane level, obviously, in people's personal lives, we're not having like you're becoming a new person.

But that's how I'm seeing it. Is that this is this real kind of like reckoning moment around what is shifting. And I love Kelsey, the unconscious versus the conscious. You know, there's something in there that that's how I'm, I'm viewing this season in particular,

Que'Nyse: love it. Yeah, I would kind of go off of what Emily was just kind of saying about, like, how potent these eclipses are. Just with—we have mercury being the depositor for the solar eclipse, and it's going to be exalted. And we also have Jupiter, the ruler of Pisces, also exalted in the sign of Cancer.

So there is definitely, like power, I feel like, behind the shifts in the energy of what's being communicated and what we will be experiencing with these eclipses. I think that mercury is going to be really providing a lot of discernment, we're going to be able to distill and really refine in a way that we might want to be careful about over refining with mercury, you know, in high dignity, but super efficient.

It may be over efficient. And how we are thinking about starting these new chapters, these new things that we're stepping into, how analytical are we being with ourselves and others and the things that we're pursuing as we move forward? But I think that Jupiter being in Cancer is going to provide us emotional intelligence and like comfort and perhaps like ancestral compassion as we allow things to dissolve these false ideologies or these realizations as they become more crystallized, because I also noticed that I'm tracking Saturn with it being in Pisces.

Like, Saturn Return. So, like, yeah, Saturn's coming back. So Saturn has just made its way back to Pisces. So really bringing like, that one last go. Like, okay, hey, I'm coming back. I'm letting you address this one last time, right? I'm really dissolving away whatever has hit you in any delusions or false ideologies of what could be, what you've been working towards.

How can we refine that? How can we find, like, I really was focusing on how the balance between Virgo and Pisces energy, like what Mallory and Kelsey were talking about, as far as like. Like there needs to be harmony here, and you might find that you've been leaning one on one end more than the other, and there's an imbalance that you're going to be coming to a realization of.

But also, if you can lean into the realizations and not fight against what's coming up as truth, and lean into it and use it as a tool and how you can bring harmony back into your life and actually move forward. I think that that would be really helpful for people. So, yeah, that's kind of where I've been where I'm just like, Okay, super strong energy.

Here we got Saturn, Jupiter, mercury, all kind of playing into the energies of these eclipses, for sure,

Adam Elenbaas: nice. Well, on that note, here is how we're distributing things today. We are—Kelsey has got fire. She's going to take the fire signs, and then Q's got Earth going that way. Emily's got air, and Mal's got water. That will be our lineup.

We're gonna break down some of the significations by whole sign house for your solar lunar eclipses. Let's give you the dates for those. I'm gonna pull up the real time clock. We're gonna take a look at the dates, and then I just want you to bookmark those because I can't show both situations on the chart simultaneously.

So I'm going to focus on the first one on the screen, you'll see September 7 is our lunar eclipse. And then if I go forward two weeks to the 21st you're going to see—you can see it right here, there's our 29th degree solar eclipse in Virgo. So what I'm going to do is, like I said, I'm going to have September 7 on the screen, which is the first of our eclipses in Pisces.

And we're going to start with Aries and go through the full wheel and whoever's taking a turn will focus on—will tell you a little bit about both, and we might focus on the house axis as a whole, some topics from the individual houses. So I've told everyone, be creative, and then I'll pitch in a few thoughts as we go.

And if anyone else wants to jump in as we go, that's what we'll do. Guys, ready. Let's do it. All right, Kelsey, you're up first. We've got Aries rising with the eclipses landing in your 12th and sixth houses.

Kelsey Faith Wells: All right, so for Aries rising, these eclipses are in your sixth and 12th, as Adam just said, and this is, you know, averse to your first house. So can feel a little bit out of your control, but that is the 12th house, you know, things outside of our control.

I would say it's less letting go and just not caring, but more about divine surrender and trusting the process of letting go, deciding intentionally to let go of something and trusting that result. I like to think a lot about a rising sign, and then you know how the different house zodiac signs make us that rising sign.

So I was thinking about Aries people with your Pisces 12th house, and how important it is for you to have the clear channel here, to like be able to make your bold, impulsive, Cardinal, fiery, raw, instinctual moves from a place of clarity, that means that you have to have a pretty good idea of what undermines you, and you have to have a pretty good idea of what's worth sacrificing for and putting your time and energy into.

I think that it's important during this eclipse season to think about the balance of you know what might be overwhelming you or undermining you, and how you can maybe shift some things in your daily life to create those spaces for you to process and kind of open up that clear channel so that when you make those impulsive moves as an Aries Rising that you're supposed to do, by the way, then they're coming from an informed place, not just from a reactive place.

I also think you know with with the 12th house Eclipse, this can be very healing for you. It's ruled by Jupiter, and Jupiter is going to be in your fourth house. So this feels very personal to you know, maybe some things going on behind the scenes. Saturn is also going to be back in your 12th house. Saturn really likes it there.

So maybe there's something final that you're crystallizing and it's really integrating. I also want to say you want to be careful not to go overboard and, you know, isolate yourself. You know, spending too much time on your own can be a big Aries thing, depending on how that balance is going for you at this time in your life, you might want to see where you can balance out your sixth house.

So moving to the sixth house Eclipse. This is a solar eclipse, so it's a new chapter, but it's involving letting something go, and it might feel—it might not feel comfortable to let go of this because of the history behind it. But, you know, we just had a new moon at the zero degree mark of Virgo, and I feel that by the time we get to this eclipse, you might be more open to just trusting and letting the universe take the reins on this, because you're probably growing tired of caring about this thing that you've held on to.

So I think that you know, with Virgo, there's been a lot of stuff going on in this house. We had Mars coming through here. Mercury is going to come through here in September. So maybe you're making sense of the changes that you've been feeling called to make, and you're maybe letting some things go so that that clear channel can help you make that bold move, start that new chapter.

I you know, I have to say this might have to do with career, just because Saturn does rule your career and also your social affiliations and the role that you want to play in the world. This eclipse is opposing that that Saturn, and it's in your sixth house. So could there be a change in career that will actually give you more, a feeling of you, that it's worth it to you, that the energy you're putting out is repaying you.

I also think there could be some sort of changes in your daily life with health routines, maybe even things that you're addicted to. You know, being really honest with yourself this month about what you need so that you can be that bold Aries and not have to overthink which fiery choices come into your mind.

I think that Mars, also moving from Libra into Scorpio will be helpful for facing these tasks or fears, depending on how you want to look at it.

Adam Elenbaas: I love that Kelsey, I happen to know someone and, um, they they have this horoscope. So I'm going to tell an anonymous, an anonymized version of their story, of something I know they're going to go through in the next month.

They are dealing with older parents who are suddenly having life situations with their health that are radically changing the calculus of my friend's life. They are thus having to figure out which of their current—which current pieces of their world, from where they live to what they do to everything will have to be surrendered or sacrificed so that they can more closely serve the death process of their parents, which is not happening immediately, but is going to happen now.

It's just a matter of time. So you can feel how that sixth, 12th house calculus during eclipses like this works for an Aries rising with a situation like this that's pretty extreme. I'm not saying everyone's going to go through something that dire, but a solar eclipse in the sixth house where some measured form of sacrifice or work or duty or service is taking place, and some calculations are on what needs to be surrendered or let go of, or what broader realm one has to open oneself to.

That isn't necessarily easy, but could also be very transformative. I happen to know this person very well, and I know that they won't just see this as a bummer and a duty, they'll see this as an opportunity for heart growth, but it's still heart wrenching, you know. So something about the sixth and 12th can provide such transformational opportunities, but there's an earthly side to it, and there's an emotional, spiritual side to it, and the two are having a dialog right now.

That's how I'm thinking about this, through that one person story that comes to my mind so but I loved all of the different layers that you gave people to think about Kelsey. That was really, really nice. Anyone else want to add anything? All right, let's keep rolling. Um, we're gonna go to Q next for Taurus rising, which takes these eclipses.

Lunar eclipse on the seventh in your 11th house, solar eclipse in your fifth, on the 21st—excuse my horoscope. So you better do good job. Give me something good that's.

Que'Nyse: Hey, all right, let me see what I got. I'm playing, you know? Well, here's the thing—I when I looked at the axis for this, I know a couple Taurus risings personally, outside of Adam, you know, I'm saying, so I was really kind of just like, as far as reflecting on the communities, because the 11th house has to do with vision, casting networks, communal bonding and belonging, your long term goals, your fears, your aspirations, these things, right?

So, where are we seeing illusions or confusion or just a warping of ideologies, of understandings around your hopes and dreams, as far as how you belong and community, what it feels like to experience belonging within groups that you once may have held to a certain standard, possibly for yourself, or these are stories that you've been told about certain groups, and you have worked towards this because we do have the north node here.

So there's this calling to this, this natural interest in this unsatiable or insatiable drive to dig deeper, to swim deeper into the depths of these groups, into these ideologies, these hopes and dreams, right? But with Saturn moving back into this house, I am interested in seeing for them how their identity within these groups starts to crystallize, or the boundaries start to become a little bit clearer, as Saturn returns back to this house and provides them this opportunity to address maybe how it is that they've been immersing themselves within these collectives, and if it's spiritually aligned for them, if the frequency is as comfortable as in vibration with them, as they previously thought that it could have been, and if there's been some self sacrificing or surrendering in order to fit within these groups, in order to feel the belonging that they're desiring.

We do have Jupiter in Cancer, so this can really exaggerate the the homey feeling, the familial desire and drive in and wanting to be this part of this group, this spiritual collective, the Tauruses that I know, I think that they've been coming face to face with, if they're a healer, because they genuinely believe that they're a healer and genuinely desire to be a healer.

Or if this is something that's been passed down to them, or they've just been placed in certain groups, or they have some type of ideology towards what it means to be seen as a healer or to be part of the spiritual community, and whether or not this is more performative than I think they knew that they were being—I think that there's really just like this.

Whoa, like. I thought that I was doing something. I thought that I was amongst a group of people, or a part of this collective that I don't know if I need to either shift my position or I just need to re-assess how I want to be spiritually connected and in community and part of the network.

Now I think that if we look at the solar—I don't know if you all can hear the alarms here, maybe this is really important for Taurus rising, but pay attention to this part. There we go. I live next to a hospital, so it gets a little loud sometimes. But with the solar eclipse, I think happening in Virgo, what I feel like if we lean into the other axis, the other side of this axis, and you're being authentic in the things that bring you joy.

The fifth house has a lot to do with, like our the spark of life, actually engaging in joy, the spiritual essence of what it means to experience happiness and creation—we have the sun finds its joy in this house. And so there's this very like, just spiritual intellect of what it is that aligns your spirit to what revitalizes you.

And I think with Virgo being here, sometimes there can be too much distilling, too much like, Am I doing joy right? Am I experiencing happiness correctly? Is it the right type of level of joy, or, you know, sensual pleasures that I'm supposed to be engaging in? And it can be a little strict, a little tight here.

So I think that if we're leaning into like, Let's refine our ideas of what it means to experience joy, to experience pleasure, to play and not dim the spark of life that exudes naturally from this house. I think Virgo can over parent here, and either you're over parenting yourself and not allowing yourself to have experiences, to engage in certain type of relationships—we have, like, one night stands here, the Taurus risings that I know that have this placement tend to always be like, but Is that right or like, if I'm trying to meet somebody, I want it to be really deep, like, I want them to read the book of who I am, and it's just like, but you're at a party, we're throwing it back.

Nobody's about to ask you about, you know, your spiritual beliefs, and like, where you trying to love that, right, love that, but like also, and there's a time and place and like, allow yourself to kind of just be free right now and feel like, be fully embodied. I think, like in my notes here, I have like, you're getting it right before trying to share your joy.

So if you have any creative pursuits, projects, because what you're doing, when you really align yourself to what it is you're spiritually enjoying, you're going to find the right collective, the right community belonging that's spiritual. It's going to be spiritually aligned once you tap into how you are spiritually giving and being spontaneous and allowing your spark of like life, the fire within you to be felt by those around you by fully—Virgo is like the mother and the child.

So if you are the joy within yourself, and you provide joy, and you nurture others with joy, you're going to naturally attract and realign yourself with the right community, the right like network of people. So that's kind of what I was saying for Taurus risings, I try not to be too harsh on them, because I know they beaten themselves up a little bit

Adam Elenbaas: already. I love it. That's so accurate. That's so it's so good, so appropriate. Yeah, a couple of things that come to my mind. One of them is going to be that, I mean, and I'm reflecting on this from the standpoint of the experiences that I've had already with the nodes moving through this space.

One of them is the one of the things, because I've been teaching this masterclass series this year on the Indian philosophical meanings behind the houses. So it's just so baked into me this year to be thinking about them this way. And the 11th house is this place of pleasure, comma, like the Kamasutra, bliss, happiness, pleasure, but it's socially, publicly and often professionally oriented.

So it has to be conditioned in some ways by the collective. You know, it's like. What does happiness look like around groups, communities, social or professional circles, whereas that fifth house, that dharma house, is connected to the joy of one's individual essence. And so and the two are opposed, because it's it's a tough tension to hold, right?

It's like, well, my social, public level of happiness is not always on the same page as my private, personal creative essence. You can't do one at the cost of the other. You're going to be unhappy. So I've been reflecting a lot on what that means for for me as a, you know, as an individual and a creative but as a personal professional that exists within the astrological field, for example, it was really, really hard for me.

I know this is like, this is kind of a stupid, silly example, but it's a big one in my world. I have wanted to lead a retreat for a long time, but I've been very cautious about it, because one of the things I love about our online programs is that they're accessible. You have a retreat, it's exclusive, it's limited.

You can't have so many people, because there's, it's, there's costs involved in a retreat center and booking it out, and blah, blah, blah, and so that north node in the 11th I was like, Yeah, but I, I just want to do this. This is like, I can't, you know, like, there has to be some allowance for this.

And that is, like, this recalibrating of personal and professional levels of happiness that are in dialog. And, you know, the Virgo part of me is very concerned, very personal for me to be concerned with things like accessibility and service to people the Pisces in the 11th is like, but I really want to do a group retreat in Mexico.

You know, not surprisingly, these things came to a head when the nodes entered these houses. So that's just a silly example for me, which is really not that big of a deal, but has been, like you said, Q, like the pressure that I place on myself personally can be just really almost like puritanical at times with the Virgo piece in my fifth for sure.

So there's been a lot of good things to meditate on. You wouldn't believe how many hours of therapy I spent talking about whether or not to have a retreat. It's pretty silly, actually. But anyway, that's so that's how I was kind of applying what you were saying as you were talking. I was thinking about that, but I love the way you broke that down.

That was just wonderful. Okay, let's keep rolling. We're going to go forward to Gemini and Emily's got air signs. We've got the solar eclipse or the lunar eclipse in the 10th house, solar eclipse on the fourth. That's the seventh and 21st of September.

Emily Tatomer: Yeah. So I'm looking at these really as a pair, as more so than than individually.

And these are angular houses, right? These are in all of your recent breakdowns, Adam, where you've been doing those the four main areas of life that people often come to you to talk about when you're in consultation space. These are two of them, right? So we have the public work, visibility, reputation, calling in the 10th house, and then, of course, home, family roots, foundation, property in the fourth—so what I'm thinking with these eclipses are major beginnings and endings, some some shifts.

Maybe there's, but it's but it feels very mixed bag to me, like maybe you've been working for a long time on that promotion, or you've been hoping for this, this job opening to come up is come up, you're applying for it, and you get the job like, that's a really positive thing you or you get the promotion.

And that's the 10th house coming to fruition, full moon eclipse, right? But it means you have less time to spend with your family or at home. Or it means that the job is in the town next over, and you need to move, and you're committed. You're you like your home, you like your place. So it has that feeling to me where it's really that, that mixed bag, or conversely, you don't get it, you're passed over for the job or the promotion, and that's a bummer, but then you get to spend more time with your family, or then you're like, Well, I was only staying in this location because of my job, and I just lost my job so I can move.

And I've been wanting to move, you know, something like that. There could definitely be something with family, with parents that come up. This could be the the birth of a grandchild or a child, even this could be some kind of shift or change in your in your parents health, something like that.

I'm also thinking of the second and the third houses here, because Cancer is your second of resources and third is the you know, community, local environment, siblings, extended family, neighbors. And these are the two signs that are that are ruled by our luminaries that are being eclipsed in this series.

So this kind of doubles down for me on the work, career and home and family. You know, there could be something with siblings. There could be something with, you know, a change in your local neighborhood that's all stemming around public and private life. And if you're not in the work sector, you know, I'm thinking, last year, actually, around the first Pisces eclipse in September, I joined my kids school board.

You know this, it was like a shift in my public visibility that the community is seeing me now as a one of the, you know, seven members of our school board. So something like that is shifting for you or coming online, something that maybe has had some history. You know, you've been working for this promotion.

You've been working for this change that you either get or don't but, but just showing up within public, private sector of life, you know, professional versus family roots moves anything like that kind of basic keyword, but that's really how I'm seeing the this for Gemini is

Adam Elenbaas: nice, yeah, yeah, um, the the other thing I would look at would be when our when shifts in the external world provide a new form of mirroring for things that are maybe more private or secret or internal, or when shifts internally offer clear points of differentiation publicly.

You know, I think, for example, the classic midlife crisis archetype, sometimes that tears families apart, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it means job changes. Sometimes it means relocations. Sometimes it means completely redefining your life path in general, but why? It's usually because something about the conventional forms of life that I'm I have to show up as in the world, which in the 10th house, even though we think about that as career, can be titles that we are socially married to, you know, I'm a husband, I'm a worker, I'm an employee, I'm a dad, I'm whatever it is, I'm thinking of, you know, some of my own and then something shifts inside and we go, Yeah, but there's these other parts of me that don't get any space because I'm so duty bound to these things that, in turn, a realm of art to—right, they grant me money, they grant me security, they grant me resources, et cetera.

So the midlife moment is a very 10th house, fourth house moment for a lot of people, even if it doesn't lead to massive destructiveness, it's just there's a space in midlife where a lot of these roles are really well established, and there has to be this balance between the inner life that is separate or apart from or doesn't cohere to that outer life.

And if there's, if there's not, that's when the the problems often begin. So it seems like for Gemini, some exploration of inner and outer realities are at play.

Emily Tatomer: Yeah? Love that, and I love that. 45 midlife is a 10th house. Perfection year.

Adam Elenbaas: Yeah, good point, good point. Yeah. Let's move on to Cancer.

And Mal has our water signs. We have the lunar eclipse on the seventh in your ninth house, and we have the solar eclipse in the third if you're a Cancer on the 21st

Mallory Hasty: Yeah, awesome. And you'll you guys will have to forgive me if I'm a little bit biased, because I'm reading my own horoscope. Right off the bat here, I'm a Cancer rising, but we've got the eclipses hitting the third house of the local environment, and then the ninth house, which is the foreign environment.

And I was meditating on the vibe of this eclipse, and I couldn't help but think one of my favorite movies directed by Tim Burton. It's called Big Fish, and I don't know if you guys have seen it, it's a movie that I recommend, actually by Tao students to watch, because I think it represents the Major Arcana really well in some ways.

But anyways, big fish, it's about this guy. He's kind of grappling with a lot of ancestral stories. He leaves home to go on an adventure, which is very ninth house. At some point on his adventure, he actually visits this little town where no one ever leaves. And within this little town where no one ever leaves, there's like this poet, and at some point, our main character reads the poet's poetry, and it's revealed to him that the poetry is really bad.

And it's like, oh, well, duh, yeah, the town's poet, his poetry is really bad because he's never left town, yeah? Now, like, he's never given himself the experience to take in anything else. All he knows is his own environment, his local environment, the third house, and thus he might lack inspiration, experience, just even the sort of viewpoint of others.

So I think there's some tension and opportunity for expansion, especially Cancer risings with Jupiter transiting the first house right now as well. Like you know, what are the beliefs or the teachings that I picked up in my local environment, and how may I now transmute those beliefs and go into a whole new sort of experience, have my own original experience.

I'm also kind of weirdly obsessed with like cults and people escaping, like Scientology, or, you know, really intense Mormonism, you know, sort of groups, but there's always a point in those books where the person who is escaping has some sort of aha moment and thinks, this isn't me, or this isn't my God, or this belief just fundamentally doesn't make sense to me, and I have to go and find my own way, even if you're not a Cancer rising escaping a cult.

You know, there's something here about going and finding your own way. One more thing I'll add. I'm experiencing quite a literal manifestation of this end of the month. I'm kind of giving up my lease in Chicago. I live in an apartment that I love in a neighborhood that I love in Chicago, which is very third house.

Uh, but I'm giving it up because I need to place myself in a leaseless zone so I can jump to potentially moving abroad in the next six months to a year, which is also paired with the Eclipse cycles. So there's a ton of grief. I think coming up with leaving Chicago, a lot of my friends are here. I have an astrology community here, the dog I walk.

You can see in the background, of course, I'll miss him. You know, there's, there's a lot of grief with letting go of the local environment, but also some hopefulness in maybe what is to come in a life that I've really dreamed about for a long time, which is about living abroad. So yeah, that's what I got.

Adam Elenbaas: I love it. That's so nice. And I think the you hit on so many different points of relevance there. But I love that as we clarify our own desires and our own interests and our own nature psychologically, that it plays an important role in the developing understanding that we have of reality, the gods, divinity.

Truth is not. Truth does not exclude our individual, subjective level of experience. It also isn't. It isn't limited by it. It's not beholden to it. But it also doesn't exclude it. And so something about that third house, ninth house, axis, someone born with the sun and moon, you know, across this axis, natally, I reflect on how my faith evolves at a lot of key moments when I understand my myself and my own nature a little bit more deeply, that it becomes the gateway through which I understand something a little bit more deeply that feels outside of me at the same time.

So anyway, that that thought came to my mind. But thank you, Mel, that was just so so nice. And I can only imagine the scenario you're in, and it completely makes sense for the eclipses. It's interesting, because my wife's a Cancer rising, and lot of what she's been going through has been under like she's been really fascinated by ancient goddess cults, and she's been reading about them, and that's been a pathway for her to explore different aspects of herself.

So it's been very third, ninth house like that, and I anticipate that there'll probably be more interesting developments along that pathway for her, with these eclipses, also Cancer rising. All right, let's go to Leo. We're moving back to fire. Kelsey is up again. We've got the lunar eclipse in the eighth house on the seventh and then the solar eclipse in the second house on the 21st

Kelsey Faith Wells: All right, so Leos, you guys have had a big summer, so welcome to the next phase of that. I think that, as a Leo, being ruled by the sun, eclipses are very important, just like Cancer risings as well being ruled by the moon. So happening in the second and eighth houses. This is about the give and take.

It can be about financial worth versus cost gains trades income security, and I also think a lot about just trust and just having emotional closeness, as well as the ability to trust and collaborate with people, whether you're sharing your time, money, energy, resources or secrets. So this is making me think a lot about how there's something changing about you personally because of the things that you are deciding to no longer be invested in, or to become invested in, or become more invested in.

So I'm thinking about letting go of fears and doing so with the total lunar eclipse in Pisces ruled by Jupiter in your 12th so maybe there's a lot of facing some fears here. And I think, you know, I have, actually, I do have my nodes in these houses opposite actually, but let me just say it's so important to balance these out, guys.

So you know, you. Gotta have some sort of system with yourself, and it can be with the lunar phases, if that works for you, but to just make sure, like, am I giving too much, or am I taking too much? What's the balance here? And I think that in seeing yourself differently through what you're devoted and attached to it helps you become more capable of being that sunlight.

For other people, you know, being that Leo sun, you guys are known for your confidence, but you know you can't really be confident if you're feeling drained, and if you're if you feel that there are pieces of you that are being outsourced or, I think for Leo's, this could be a lot about drawing your energy back in and being intentional again, about where you want to put that energy boundaries are super important with Pisces in the eighth house, and that Eclipse, I think you could be feeling like almost a draw to move in closer to that boundlessness, so that you can understand why you need boundaries.

So I think that can happen a lot with the Pisces north node, no matter what sign you are is we could be kind of like, yeah, really moving towards that North Node hunger, just to realize the importance of having some sort of boundary or having some sort of ending here financially too. This could be about changes going on, letting go of one way of making money and starting a new chapter.

I know of one particular Leo rising that I've read for for a long time, and they've been wanting to move forward into a new job, a new career path, and well, I do think that Uranus, entering Gemini and leaving Taurus had a lot to do with it, too. This is like the healing part for this person of like, okay, I'm drawing my energy back of that those years being overworked and now being able to choose what skills and talents with that second house, Virgo that you want to perfect and that you want to use to bring yourself security and a sense of material safety in the world.

So yeah, I think as a Leo rising, having a sense of understanding where you're putting your energy and where you're investing in can help you to feel a little bit more confident, and that discernment is a strength that you'll carry through this eclipse cycle.

Adam Elenbaas: Love that. Yeah. I mean, I think one of the things that always comes to my mind when eclipses land in the eighth house are the either the completion of or the revision of various agreements that we have, some of which are emotional, karmic in ways that are not always conscious or obvious, but there's almost always a harvesting of soul contract material with eclipses in the eighth the benefits, the blessings, the breaking of curses, the removing of debts.

And then some, some question about an evaluation of one's own resources in relation to what's going out or what's being agreed upon the exchange. The exchanges, yeah, really interesting stuff. Anyone want to add anything to that? Before we go on?

Mallory Hasty: I'll just say quickly, I know a Leo rising who recently moved because of their partner's job, which is very eighth house, and they had to get a new job, which is second house.

But in getting their new job, they actually realized I don't even really want to do this anymore. And this person also happens to be an astrology student, and they're kind of in the phase of accepting, like, I want to be an astrologer, but there's a lot of second house stuff to let go of, not even money stuff, more like self value.

You. We all know this story right, because we've been in it. So I just wanted to give that quick example that you know there could be some realizations of what I truly do want to be doing with my time, right?

Kelsey Faith Wells: Yeah, I love that, and I also I always want to mention this, just because it's so true for my experiences, is that sometimes the second house can have a lot to do with family stuff.

Um. Um, and I think that makes sense because of the stuff we get from our family and Mal, you mentioned about, like, worthiness and all of that. I think that's coming up a lot for Leo people as you have this, like, creative renaissance of a summer, it's it's really important to let go of the need to feel like it's coming out in this perfect way.

And I think a lot of that can, you know, I'm not assuming anything, but sometimes that does come from family or from things we experience as we're growing up. And I think Jupiter in your 12th house is really helping you become aware and heal those things. So, yeah, just wanted to add that

Adam Elenbaas: nice. Well, we move into our Virgo Pisces axis on the first and seventh house, and that's for Virgo risings.

You got the solar eclipse in your first—the first lunar eclipse will be on the seventh, and your seventh, and then on the 21st the solar eclipse in the first house. Q, what do you got for us with this

Que'Nyse: one? Ooh, Virgo risings. When I was sitting with these houses, I really saw there being some understanding and realizations around connections, your one on one connections, because the seventh house is those one on one relationships that you're making, whether they be platonic, romantic, business wise, but it's also the house of like the self reflection of yourself, like what energy you see reflected back in the people that you make connections with those relationships.

What are they reflecting back to you as far as who you are, how you express yourself, what your desires are, what are you attracting to yourself? That is a projection of the self. So with Pisces being here, I think that there can sometimes be like enmeshment that can occur for Virgo risings in this house, we know that Virgo can work off of the potentiality of a thing.

And so if there has been this over abundance, or this pull and calling with the North Node being there for you to immerse yourself, with the other to submit. And we talked earlier with Mallory saying how, like there's this martyrdom that can happen with Virgo risings, kind of always showing up for the other person, showing up for these other things outside of themselves, and kind of busying themselves with what's outside of them, and getting lost in the sea, as Pisces can often do, and experience as far as just like going too far out to sea for people, and what's happening within the self that first house is being a bit neglected.

And it could be for martyrdom sake that you're like, Oh, I'm serving. I'm showing up as a servant. I see mothers, potentially, a lot of the Virgos that are coming to mind happen to be mothers as well, and they can very easily become something that they are like. Well, my kids need this. Well, my community needs this, where my family, my husband, these roles, these these obligations, these responsibilities that you have created through being in relationship to the other is pulling you away from the self.

So I think that potentially, there might be some things that come up emotional or like things from the memory that are expressed in relationship, from other people, or maybe you're just realizing that the the relationships that you're in aren't as comfortable or as spiritually satisfying. They're not, you know they're not coming back on the things that they promised.

You know that you would reap if being in relationship with them was something you desired. You're like, I am not getting what I thought I was promised, stepping into this. But I have been giving and giving and surrendering and surrendering. I've lost myself. So I do see that there could be this potentiality where you see a relationship, but you're like, Am I willing to give up myself for this?

But if I do give up myself, is it parts of myself that I need to actually let go and, you know, surrender to the spiritual abyss of like, alchemization, like, how do I allow for this relationship to strengthen me and grow within me an inner knowing of self? I think that if you kind of are finding yourself in a position where you're like, No, I desire these relationships, but there's something I must let go if I'm going to healthily be in relationship, if I'm going to be in complete harmony with not only myself, but those outside of myself.

What do I need to allow to be let go in order to succeed in that? In other ways, though, you could find that, oh, this is, this is like way too much for me to handle. I'm getting lost completely. I need to go back to my Virgo roots and again, that Virgo is the mother and the child. So I need to mother myself.

I need to find an inner sanctuary that is spiritually grounding and self sustaining, and in that way, I will attract what relationships actually have me spiritually ascending in a way that is comfortable and nurturing and self satisfying, but also is serving the whole and not just myself. Virgos deep. We want to be healthy and like healing to the environment that they find themselves in, but you must not get lost in those relationships or environments, in those duties.

I think, I think that this is a really pivotal time for Virgos to kind of realize, oh, there's something within me that I need to return back to and get familiar with that's going to be completely transformative to the identity of who you are, how you express yourself, how you move in the world around you.

That's the energy that I was picking up for Virgo risings, for these Eclipse

Adam Elenbaas: love that, yeah, I think the the self other axis is so powerful as we review and revisit and revise and reflect on who we are and where we're at in a very personal way, it immediately has this echoing or immediate reflectiveness within key relationships and vice versa, and that's a big passage right now for that, even my daughter, who's a Virgo rising, I've noticed in her friendships, her close friendships, is doing a lot of reflecting for a while now, since the nodes entered, but this is probably a powerful time for that, as she's going back to school in September, and new classmates, new people, new situations, also coming into a new phase of development and growth, you know, as a fourth grade girl.

And so it's, it's fascinating how this can show up. And really, in all stages of life, all phases of life, it never, we never complete this process. So, yeah, this is that was really beautiful delineation. Thank you. Q, for the sake of time, since we all love to talk, we are going to roll on to Libra.

And hold on just a second here. Can you see Libra on the ascendant? Am I just—There we go. Okay, Emily, you're you have this one. We're flipping things now. We've got the solar eclipse in the 12th, the lunar eclipse in the sixth, for Libras, it was the opposite for our Aries.

Emily Tatomer: So the first Virgo eclipse in this series that happened in March of this year.

The Eclipse fell right smack in the middle of about a 10 or 12 day stretch in which four out of the five members of my immediate family, I have three kids, so there are five of us here in the house. Came down with a stomach bug. It just kind of slow rolled through our family over about 10-11 days.

And my daughter, my older daughter, who's my middle child, is a Libra rising with a sun Jupiter conjunction in Virgo in the 12th and she and I share a phobia of vomit. It's an actual clinical thing called a meta phobia. You can look it up. It's more common than you think. Anyway, I share this story because I think it really exemplifies the potential for the 6/12, axis, right?

The discomfort. The challenge, the stressful situation of being physically ill in the sixth was one thing, you know, she got through that, but the psychological fear and the feeling of being unsafe in her own body, in her own home, in her amongst her own family, very 12th house like these, these subconscious programming that we have that we don't even realize how much they might be dictating or running our lives from behind the scenes.

So this is just one example of one way that this axis, I think, can show up. Obviously, not every Libra rising is going to get sick, but, but something like that, a situation that is challenging, stressful, uncomfortable, that feels acute, perhaps, or has been coming to a head. You know, with that, that Pisces full moon eclipse that, with some history behind it, a fruition moment of something coming to the head in the sixth house of you know, misfortune or self sacrifice or efforts, that activates, for whatever reason, some deep subconscious or behind the scenes, programming or or patterns that we have that we need to look at and and work through and see.

You know, like I don't want to be—I no longer want to be undermined in this way by these deep, deeply held feelings and thoughts that I have. And I think another way that I'm thinking about this for Libras is that, you know, so many Libras are really they're people pleasers right there.

They keep the peace, they keep the harmony. They they want to keep things beautiful and balanced. And what do you have in your sixth house of self sacrifice and effort, but a very compassionate, empathic sometimes lacking boundary. Sign of Pisces, right? And so I wonder if, for some Libra risings that something is coming to a head here, you're realizing I can't keep bending over backward.

And this has been echoed, you know, in other ways. We were just talking about it. Q was saying it with the with the Virgo rising too. I cannot keep giving of myself in a way to make other people feel comfortable, to make other people feel balanced and harmonious and happy and and then by the time we get to that anaretic solar eclipse on the south node in your 12th house.

I know sometimes I think about with the 12th house is it's a place of ego death, right? It's falling away from the first and and maybe whatever is coming to a head around where you have been over giving in the sixth is allowing you to say, I'm going it's time for me to let go of that attachment that I have to that part of my identity that keeps the peace, that maintains the balance and is a pleaser.

So that's kind of what I'm thinking about for Libra risings, you know, maybe, maybe you're overworked and you decide you need to go to a silent retreat, or something, you know, that could work too. But something along this axis of something coming to a head, around over, giving that you need to let go of always maintaining the balance.

Adam Elenbaas: I love that. That's, yeah, really nice. Some, some nice touch there with the 12th and sixth dynamics, given the tendencies of Libra. I think I really like that. I wonder. I did a talk. I think it was this year. God, I can't remember now, I did a talk on the 12th house. And one of the things that I did was I looked at the juxtaposition between rising signs and 12th house signs on an archetypal level, to say, How does like for example, how does Virgo constitute a blind spot for Libra?

Just thinking about it that way was an interesting exercise for this talk. I think one of the things that you know sometimes there's in the external appearance of grace, beauty, balance, fairness. So that social thoughtfulness and sensibility that Libra has is some more rigid and maybe even puritanical level of like an algebra or like, I say, like a social calculus that's going on behind the scenes, and sometimes that calculus needs reconfiguring.

It's like the way that you're judging, evaluating, discerning, discriminating, you may not even be aware of the formulas that you have in that spreadsheet you know, or you may not be aware of how they're influencing how you try to be seen, or what, what I like about the adjustment of the calculus in the 12th house right now for Libras, is that it could be coming because of things that overwhelm and flood, like north node, sixth house, kinds of transits that flood your capacity to control material circumstances through careful evaluation and discrimination.

And when those floodings happen, then there's an opportunity for new information to recalibrate your your equations. I don't think Libras live without equations. I don't think it's bad to live with equations. But sometimes they need to become they need to go from like algebra to quantum computing.

You know, there needs to be a more, maybe even mystical or emotional or artistic levels of awareness that start informing some of the behind the scenes, you know, faculties of judgment or discernment. So that's comes to my mind, yeah. Um, well, I'm saying, for the sake of time, and look at me. Blab on. Let's go on to Scorpio rising.

Um, Mal is going to take us here. And while Mal is talking, I'm just going to run and refill. My cup of tea because I'm making sure I'm taking care of my throat. It's been really wet here, and I always tend to get a sore throat if I'm not careful. So I'm gonna go do that while mal talks to us about Scorpio rising, which is our solar eclipse in the 11th lunar eclipse in the fifth.

Mallory Hasty: Yeah. Okay. Well, Scorpio rising, we have the eclipses. Like Adam said, highlighting the fifth house of creativity, pleasure, joy and the 11th house of groups and networks. I thought it was funny, because in the past couple days, we saw Taylor Swift announce that she's going to release a new album.

And I am a Swifty, and I do think that Taylor Swift is a Scorpio rising. Now there's a little bit of discord of she's a Scorpio rising, or Sagittarius rising. I'm very pro I really think she's a Scorpio rising. But anyways, I was just thinking about her in context of this eclipse, like this sort of universal, like the biggest star in the world in some ways, like bigger than the Beatles.

You know, she announcing a new album release, which is very Fifth house is also probably filled with a lot of shadow, because you have so many fans and people listening to your artwork. And on the one hand, you could spend all day worrying about how the new album, and you know, the new lore, the new era, is being received.

And then I was thinking, though she has to be somewhat beyond that, part of her artistry like to be as big as she is, there had to have been some more intense shadow work around the releasing of a project, what people think, how people are going to judge it, and just kind of arriving at a happiness and a contentment with the creative project that is being revealed just within your own self, right?

So that's what I think some of the Scorpio risings might be grappling with, like this tension between my uniqueness, my creative project, the book I'm writing, the art I'm making, and even maybe a lesson with—Well, I don't know if it really matters what people think, or it's cathartic in itself to just release it, because it's me, and if I'm happy with it, then you know, to hell with everything else I also think that the fifth house covers topics around intimacy and pleasure, and I think there could be some lessons just for maybe a handful of Scorpio risings about maybe facing the fear of intimacy and our subconscious defense mechanisms that keep us from vulnerability, like if a Scorpio rising is stuck constantly picking emotionally unavailable partners or even friends, this eclipse could also reveal something about that pattern.

And it's, you know, kind of I was talking about Taylor Swift earlier. So to use one of her lyrics, like, I'm the problem. It's me, like, there's a little bit of like, why am I surrounding myself with these people that make me feel like I can't be intimate or vulnerable a partner who's not capable of holding my emotional my emotional expansiveness, etc, etc.

So I think there's a lot of shadow work, actually, Scorpio risings in the fifth house, even if this tends to be a happy, happy Joy Joy house like, well, who I'm going to win the lottery? I also think we often carry a lot in our hearts when it comes to the things we love and the things that make us vulnerable. Yeah,

Adam Elenbaas: I caught the tail end while I was refilling my tea.

Thank you letting me step out for a second. There we are again with that equation of what facets of my public, professional, social life. Are needing some shift or change for the sake of greater fulfillment or happiness, but then how does that align with a more generative, personal, creative force within me? Um.

So that conversation for Scorpios, I think, really important right now. My sister's a Scorpio rising, and I know that this is part of it's a big question. I'll just put it this way. It's a big question. When your lifestyle is changing, rooted in health and happiness, you have to make decisions about what social settings are conducive to continuing to really nourish not just your happiness but your health.

She's, of course, most people know this. I've shared this before. She's coming off from having had a stroke, she's been rehabbing, and then having to reconfigure. Like, what can I do? Well, you can't. I mean, just, I don't think she'd care if I share this, like, it's not as conducive to drink, right? Like, that's like, you have to be a little bit more careful.

So when social scenes are filled with people doing that, it's like, it's not that there's a problem with those people, necessarily, but you have to figure out, how do I show up and be in certain new places and scenes in life when these kinds of things are happening, that and many other things that go into a new phase of life that's about your health and well being.

She's been dealing with that. I've been really proud of her and all the work she's been doing as a Scorpio rising on that level anyway. Really nice horoscope like that. Let's move on to Sagittarius. We've got solar eclipse in your 10th lunar eclipse in the fourth—lunar eclipse on the seventh solar eclipse on the 21st

Kelsey Faith Wells: All right, so sag risings, this is, these are mutable eclipses, so much like Gemini rising people.

This is going to be in, you know, the angular houses, and you're going to perhaps see this play out in many areas of your life. I think that having an eclipse with, you know, Pisces involved with eclipses. It's I think for sag people can be very deep. You're getting to know a new emotional side to yourself.

You may even have some challenges that you're dealing with, involving family, the past, nostalgia. There could be some grief and loss going on as well. So I want to be sensitive to that. And I hope that saggies as well as really any of the fire signs with these happening in the 12th, with Cancer in the 12th, eighth or fourth, I think there's a lot of deep healing for this.

These fiery signs, having to, kind of, like, put some water on the flames and and, you know, kind of see what's left. You know when, when you have that emotional release. I think that the eighth house, Jupiter ruling the fourth eclipse can be like letting go of some patterns from your past, and there might be a lot of attention right now on your fourth house, your private life, whether it's with family, with your physical home, your past, or just your own emotional self.

That Saturn retrograde back into your fourth—I think about it like, okay, Saturn's going back. Why? You know, for all of us, I I often end the day like, Why? Why is Saturn going back retrograde. So I think, I think it's important to really think about that. You know, it's this is the root of your chart.

And, you know, not to mention, we've got the solar eclipse with the south node at the top of your chart. So something is really changing publicly or about your status. It could be about relationships with Uranus in your seventh—I just went through that. So buckle up and get ready to really learn from the people in your life.

And I think that what does that do? It changes how people see you. So this could be about work also, but it could just be about how you are changing in the world. And I think that because Jupiter is your chart ruler, and it rules that first eclipse on the seventh, it's kind of like opening up this window, you know, and as a SAG rising, you're that free spirit, but you have the 10th house of Virgo.

You're like, but I want to be perfect and free. So it's like, you kind of have to like that tension, that square. It involves some transformation. You know, when do we ever change unless there's some tension? So I think that this eclipse cycle, these this pairing, it is critical with that 29 degree, and it's about, you know, if I let go of some things, you know, what?

What am I capable of if I let go of that worry and what if I tend to the more emotional depths of who I am? How free can I be? You know, how? What? What new things can I actually accomplish in my career if I let go so and I also want to say too, like, I know we're not talking about Mars, but I think Mars moving into Scorpio will be a big deal too in September.

So I think maybe for sag risings too, this kind of, like, helps you out with letting those things go as it enters your 12th. But yeah, I think for all my fire signs that heard your horoscopes today, just like, give yourself the grace to like, do things in a way that's not perfect. Like, perfectly imperfect.

You know, I think anyone this during this time in history can can relate that not a lot of things like make sense right now. So it's good to, like, allow that divine trust to carry you through eclipse season. That's what it's about, right? You know, letting fate take the reins and we'll, uh, we'll get involved in October.

Adam Elenbaas: Nice, yeah, I like this as an interesting time for new professional developments, even I think of retired people and just what engages you with the larger world still, and what changes are happening there, as opposed to private, internal and family dynamics. Sagittarians are also weighing all of this against very new material entering the house of love and relationships with Uranus there.

So that comes to my mind. But anyway, we are running out of time, so I need to speed us along a little bit. Let's go to Capricorns next, where we have the lunar eclipse in your third solar eclipse in your ninth Q's going to round us out on the earth signs here,

Que'Nyse: yes, yes, Capricorns. So we have, like Adam said, the ninth and the third house kind of coming up for us here.

And really what I saw here was, or what I was thinking about was inherited stories that you might have been told, or you just witness being performed around you and that local area, because the third house again, is about like your mental frameworks, your local reality, and just like your speech so or writing as well.

So it's just like what forms of language, of belief, of thought, what mental frameworks were created and passed down to you for survival sake, and what might need to be shed now in order for you to live a more spiritually aligned and self sovereign reality and spiritual lifestyle as well, I think that if there are things like or people like siblings, friends, co-workers, people that are just like that you see on a daily basis that are just like in your local reality, that may bring forth some type of messages of alignment or misalignment spiritually.

It could be that you're just wanting to expand your spiritual experience or your spiritual connection, and it's not you're not feeling fulfilled where you are, so that third house is like asking for more with that node, and maybe perhaps you haven't been feeling just so on ball with it. You're like, this is, this is truthful, but it's holding back, or is keeping me in a form of fear or illusion about what type of lifestyle I could be living, what type of truth I could be living by the ninth house is like the truth seeker's awakening.

So it's just like you're having these downloads, these understandings Mercury being in Virgo is really providing you this heightened sense of discernment for what actually works for you and what potential you want to actually pursue going forward in this realm of higher education, of universal truths, of travel, of mentors that will come into your life and provide you this new insight you could really be finding yourself going and moving away from what past generations may have been too afraid to question or dig into and inquire about, and you will find yourself wanting to gather the materials and sift through what actually works for you and what you want to keep close as you move forward in this new sense of spiritual self, I think with Jupiter being in the seventh house in Cancer, you could find that your one on one relationships that you're forming, that Jupiter is kind of expanding on and providing fertile ground for you to find familiarity or like comfort, to explore these new spiritual beliefs or understandings of self as you move forward.

So definitely lean into like any new relationships that I think might be coming up where you're like, oh, wow, that's really interesting that you say that. Like, tell me more. I'm really intrigued to, like, know where you got that knowledge from, and, like, maybe how I can apply it for my life.

Personally, I don't think that you should just abandon all that you've been informed by in that third house, but I do think that is potentially a good time to just like sit down with it and really reframe how you are setting up your mental understandings around what it means to be spiritual and spiritually led in this life.

I think that those are things that Capricorn will be seeing them out in and trying to figure out what steps to take to climb up this spiritual understanding of self, uh, sovereignty, moving forward. So generally, that's gonna say, that's all my notes on on Capricorn risings for right now. Yeah,

Adam Elenbaas: I love it. Yeah.

I one thing I'll add is just that I think there's such an opportunity here for that personal, emotional, subjective realm to play a role in an unfolding of, let's call it objective, rational, scientific, metaphysical understanding of the ninth house. So Capricorns are like, you know, they're, they're often like engineers building, you know, these amazing, I don't know, um, projects, and they have such a mind for the design and the long view of it.

But I knowing, in my own dad as a Capricorn rising, knowing how important it is for the inner, emotional, subjective level of reality to inform the the way your design is unfolding, you know, and your your understanding, that's really important. So there's some overlap there that I think is really promising for caps right now.

Okay, we've got two left. Let's go to Emily for Aquarius, rising lunar eclipse on the seventh in the second solar eclipse in Virgo in the eighth house on the 21st

Emily Tatomer: Yeah, I think a lot of what I was, I was thinking of saying Kelsey already covered when we were talking about Leo rising, right? But this, this is the axis of resources.

And of course, we always think of actual income and possessions, but also energy time, right? That's, that's the the saying right, time is money. So whatever that that resource is about, that fuels you. There's, I think of food as also being here in the in the second house, like, what are you consuming? What are you bringing in that is fueling you, is resourcing you.

And you know, Saturn has been in this house for about two and a half years, save a few months here in the summertime when it had moved into Aries. I'm wondering if you know this, this Lunar Eclipse isn't maybe you've been working hard at developing a skill, you've been working on a trade program, or you've been working in an internship, you've been working hard, putting in the time developing the skill, but not seeing a lot of reward yet.

Maybe this is the time when you are, you've you've earned the certificate, right? You're it's time for you to get the job that after the unpaid internship, something like that, maybe you've been spending a lot of time on your diet and what you're putting into your body, and maybe over the summer, you kind of got lax with it when it went Saturn, moved out of this house, and something comes to a head here when you have that Pisces eclipse in the second house that you're like, oh, I need to, I need to get back to figuring out.

Get serious about how I'm resourcing myself. Get serious about what I'm putting in my body, or what skills I'm developing with the eighth house. Of course, there's the connection with how we're enmeshed with other people, what they owe us, what we owe them. I love your analogy, Adam, about the the cosmic or the karmic blood bank in this house.

This, this very much feels like something could be shifting for a partner's resources. This feels like potentially, you know, if you have a relative that needs care, a loved one that you're caring for, either you have to start caring for them and giving a lot of your time and energy to care for them, or perhaps maybe they're getting better and you no longer need to give that much of your energy, or they're moving into a home.

It's time to move them into a home, and you're freed up from all of that care, anything along this axis of of what you are giving, what you are receiving, and that can be time, money, energy, emotional support, all of those things we're looking at, also Cancer and Leo, because these are the houses ruled by our Eclipse luminaries.

That's your sixth and seventh. This feels like you know, one specific example that obviously will not be the case for for many of our Aquarius risings. But someone gets you, or a partner gets injured at work, and you need to go on disability, something like that. This is, this feels like a sixth, seventh edition.

Sixth, seventh houses, addition to the second, eighth axis. So really, I think, though, on an archetypal level, this feels like a moment of deep soul searching, searching around what you value. I know that values are can be found anywhere in the chart, but when you're thinking about one way to look at what you are valuing is what you spend your money on, what you invest in, that shows what you actually value, what you're willing to to invest in.

And I think for some Aquariuses, there's a real sense of bondedness to their beliefs, or attachment to their convictions. And this might be a period of time when we're doing some soul searching around, what do we actually believe what am I willing to invest in? What is worth my time, what is worth my energy, what is worth my money?

And maybe there needs be some shifts in how I am valuing things and how I am investing in those values that is coming up for some Aquarius risings right now?

Adam Elenbaas: Yeah, I love that. Um, it's, it's interesting to me, because obviously my seven year old daughter is not evaluating karmic contracts at some really conscious level, but she's an Aquarius rising.

And one thing that I've I've noticed is, since the South Node moved into her eighth house, she is can has been she's gone through several processes of willingly and of her own initiative, purging her toys. She'll just say, I don't want this. I don't need this. I don't want this anymore. And we're both my wife, and I've been like, what's that about?

You know, like, it's kind of interesting. And I was reflecting on the fact that she's got the south node in the eighth and she's evaluating what is worth staying attached to and what isn't. So even seven year olds, you know, on this kind of level, are working through questions like this, I find that so interesting to watch how it shows up in the chart of a small person, still a soul with history.

So it's it. It shows up in ways that are not as I don't know, operatic as our midlife, you know, experiences, but still powerful anyway. That's we are on to our last sign, whoops, and that is Pisces Mal is gonna bring us home. Here. We've got a lunar eclipse in your first house on the seventh, and the solar eclipse in the seventh on the 21st

Mallory Hasty: Yeah, I'm excited for you, Pisces risings, even though it's like a really intense energy.

I mean, you and the Virgo risings are the ones who are probably feeling the Eclipse cycle the most, in some ways, but I'm thinking about again, the Piscean karma towards service and the south node, though, being in the seventh house of the other so this is the node that tends to be a little bit more shadowy, a little bit filled with some of our karmic baggage.

Maybe things were repeating from a past life, and I'm thinking about even like past lives where we didn't fulfill what we wanted to do because we were distracted by the other you know, I, you know, let's say I really wanted to go to college and go to school, but my partner was really sick, so being their caretaker kept me from doing that.

And then in this lifetime, there's a little bit of a redo. But yet, there's also that behavioral pattern of like, I'm so willing to sacrifice myself for the other which isn't necessarily a bad thing at its core, but there is a reckoning with this eclipse that feels very much like, all right, like, when are you gonna pick you, which is very first house and it reminds me of Samantha Sex and the City you know, breaking up with her long term boyfriend and saying, I love you, but I just love me more.

So Pisces risings kind of have to have the gumption to say that, even to like a partner that's super aligned, or even their kid that they love more than themselves, like it is a little bit of like, Hey, honey, I love you, but Mommy has to go to the art class at 6pm and we're not going to negotiate, because I need to do this for myself.

So really reckoning with where people have been. Well, I should say where you have been, distracting yourself through other people, right? Very low hanging fruit would be someone who keeps jumping from relationship to relationship and is looking for the one, you know, so hard, and this eclipse somehow leads them to saying, You know what, I have to put dating aside for the next six months, and I have to learn how to date myself.

Because this whole like, you know, trying to find the one just isn't working for me. Again, not all Pisces risings are going to be going through that, but I could see there being a really deep realization of one's relationship to your own aloneness, yeah, and I mean aloneness not in an emo way, like, I mean it in a really profound way, right?

Adam Elenbaas: I love the emo way. That's great,

Emily Tatomer: Mallory, stop it. That's like, this eclipse is right on my ascendant. And you just spoke to me. Just spoke to me. Oh my gosh,

Adam Elenbaas: yeah, I think the other, the only other thing that comes to my mind would be, you know, South Node solar eclipse in the seventh in Virgo, for a Pisces rising, who, at worst, can become, what do I want to say, deluded by grandeur, Like ideas about self that are very dramatic, overwhelming, you know, kind of cosmic size proportions.

It's like the the critical or simple or grounded feedback of another soul that says something like, you're trying to be too much. You're trying to do too much accept this feedback, or maybe you're gonna lose me because you're not balanced. And I'm getting, I'm getting tired of, you know, being a grounded presence for someone who's overwhelming and exhausting themselves constantly.

That's rough, like, that's not exactly easy to receive, or another way could be like if you have a partner who tends to be very critical, you know, and most of the time you have to protect yourself from that criticism, because it's just it's not very graceful, it's not tolerant, it's not expansive and open.

But How hard is it when that same person at a certain point in time actually has a valid piece of criticism, how do you then open yourself to it without feeling like you're opening yourself to all the other BS? You know? It's like, oh, that's tough. So I could see there being a push and pull between how much of the mirroring of Virgo other is allowed for or tolerated, or how much do we open to so that our idea of self can be accurately refined and by another person, whereas the other thing that Mal was saying is like, how do you take more time for yourself and maybe let go of the pressures that other people bring to you.

So I think it can go in both directions, and it's going to be really interesting to hear stories from you know, I have several Pisces Virgo people in my life, so just be interesting to see how it happens.

Emily Tatomer: Stop it Adam, you too.

Adam Elenbaas: No, it's like, yeah, for real. Well, this has been wonderful. I am so glad you're all getting to know of our second month now our new panelists.
