Eclipse season is officially underway with this Pisces Full Moon Lunar Eclipse taking place Sunday, September 7th, 2025, at about 12:12 pm MDT/2:12 pm EDT.
We won't be able to see it on this side of the world, but we will still feel its effects.
We're about halfway through this Virgo Season, and all of the overarching chaos has been bringing the lessons.
If you've been manifesting, cultivating, and nurturing your personal evolution, it could be giving "Be careful what you wish for."
Remember, manifesting anything requires change. If you want something different in your life, then things can't stay the same.
The universe is holding up the mirror for a lot of us right now.
Don't look away, you are meant to face it.
Any emotions or challenges that arise are all opportunities to know yourself better and to lead you to where you want to be.
This Full Moon, the Virgo-Pisces combination not only calls for you to know yourself better but to know your values & standards and to embrace who you are despite what others think.
I searched for a notable quote from someone with a Virgo Sun and Pisces Moon.
Still, despite the list including many famous individuals, quite a few "problematic ones", I couldn't find anyone whose quotes I felt were particularly profound. Please let me know if you know of one!
What I found really interesting as I was scrolling deep into astrology websites, Switzerland, yes, the country, has a Virgo Sun and Pisces Moon.
And it made me think about the social joke of "being Switzerland" in a conflict, meaning remaining neutral and not taking sides. Very Pisces Moon saying, "can't we all just get along?!"
There is a plus side to being neutral in certain situations; in Buddhism, it's considered equanimity, a mental state of balance that allows one to observe without attachment. Sounds nice, right?
I practice detachment all the time. My favorite affirmation is, "Observe, don't absorb."
This especially serves me well when I'm taking things too personally or letting little things bother me for too long. In this sense, neutrality is a powerful tool.
However, I am not a monk or a saint. I still live in and of the world as my human experience. And living a life of constant neutrality has its downsides.
That led me to the saying, "If you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything."
Different variations of this quote are credited to Alexander Hamilton and Malcom X.
We live in a time when neutrality has its place, but it's important to know what values you align with and why.
When change is necessary, the balance of letting go & allowing and knowing what's important & valuable, is vital for the journey.
And that is precisely the alchemy that the Virgo Sun & Pisces New Moon combination brings to the forefront.
Remember, the more you embrace what you're experiencing, the more you embrace your most authentic self.
And of course, I made you a simple yet helpful spread to help you get the most out of this energy.

Slide 2: Background is a slightly blurry version of slide 1. "Pisces Full Moon Eclipse Tarot & Oracle Card Spread." Three dark blue card backs with light blue neon frames, each displaying "1, 2, 3" respectively. "1. When does being neutral serve me? 2. How can I stand firm & proud in my values? 3. How do I know it's time to re-evaluate and shift my views? Bonus: Ask Anything! Use your intuition to ask any other question you need right now."

This photo is one of the few hanging in my office. I made sure to be able to see it when sitting at my desk to remind me that even though they’re not here physically, they’re still looking out for me, supporting me in ways they were unable to in life. They’re some of my biggest cheer leaders on my spirit team. 🩶 Everyone’s grief journey is their own. I feel very fortunate to have a spiritual one and feel the love of my family in spirit. And, I feel it in my heart, soul, and bones that it’s never goodbye, it’s see you later. 💜 alt text: A photo of Meryl age 11, her dad in the middle, and brother age 8, on the right.

The Virgo New Moon really sets the moody moods of Virgo Season as TWO New Moons will bookend it. The first one is a 'seasonal black moon' (the third of four this summer), and the second one is a solar eclipse.
Our first New Moon takes place just after midnight mountain time on Saturday, August 23rd, 2025. (Come see me in Boulder! Info below!)
And she brings so much grounded nurturing with her. We're going to need it with so much chaos in the further planets.
The Virgo New Moon Affirmation is:
"I have all the time in the world. I'm where I'm meant to be. All I need flows right to me."
Challenges on earth are inevitable, presenting varying degrees of harsh truths and profound lessons.
This Virgo Season and New Moon ask you to look inward more and practice responding to challenges with more grace in order to cultivate more peace in your life.
It can be a simple difference between resisting and embracing, empowering yourself to choose how you respond.
But how does one get to that level of self-awareness to make those choices?
By practicing being present in your life as much as possible, even in the most seemingly mundane moments.
This can also lead you to embrace your current path and trust that the universe is guiding you to your desired destination.
It reminds me of a quote, attributed to different people in different versions, but essentially it says that true happiness and harmony happen when your thoughts, words, and actions all align.
And Virgo energy is here to help you get closer to that every day.
And I couldn't help but make a spread for both!
The Virgo Season Spread is connected to the Sun in Virgo, Solar, "Divine Masculine," actionable energy. While the New Moon brings in the Lunar, "Divine Feminine," internal flow energy.
These spreads can be used separately or together and can be turned to at any time of the year when you need a check-in, similar to my Gemini Season spread, which is also ruled by Mercury!
Whenever you feel overwhelmed or lost, remember to rest, simplify, and take life day by day. Focus on your present and what you can control.
You're doing amazing! And I'm so proud of you!

Across the top, "Virgo New Moon Affirmation:" A mint green and dark purple crystal ball in the center. Across the ball, "I have all the time in the world. I'm where I'm meant to be. All I need flows right to me." 2025 on the base.
Slide 2: Same background image as Slide 1. "Virgo New Moon Tarot & Oracle Card Spread." Three smoky purple card backs with green 1, 2, 3 on them. Below the cards, "1. The energy of where I am on my path today. 2. My energy when I'm in my flow. 3. How to better align my thoughts, words, & actions? Bonus: What is flowing towards me now?"

It's officially Virgo Season!
According to Western Astrology, on August 22, 2025, the Sun enters the sign of Virgo, our Mutable Earth sign, which aligns with the last month of Summer in the Northern Hemisphere and Winter in the Southern.
Virgo Season is a period known for its distinct, thoughtful, and sometimes cleverly demure energies. The Sun will remain in Virgo until September 22, 2025.
Virgo is ruled by Mercury and represented by the "Virgin" or Maiden archetype in the Zodiac and The Hermit in the Tarot.
Virgo rules the sixth House of the Zodiac; this house represents health, wellness, daily routines, work, and lifestyle. These energies could be brought to your focus during Virgo Season. Or you may choose to focus on one or all of them.
Since The Hermit represents Virgo and it's the card of the year, I really focused on the intersection of those two energies, especially since we'll have two Virgo New Moons this year.
(For the first one, tomorrow 8/23, I'll be reading at the Boulder Holistic, Intuitive/Psychic Fair with Majick Soul, 11am - 5pm, more info below.)
We expanded significantly during Leo Season, and now Virgo is allowing us to contract.
If you've learned some hard lessons in the last couple of months, take this time to sit with anything you're avoiding and process your emotions; cry, journal, pull cards, move your body in your favorite way, get out in nature.
The next month is the perfect time to integrate those lessons by prioritizing rest and self-care, including getting back to your routines or practices that are the most healing, and wrapping up projects and to-do lists before Autumn officially begins.
IDs Slide 1: An image of an ethereal light green aurora borealis swirling about a light purple mountain range. Centered over the image is a mint green Virgo symbol with a dark purple & lavender and layered shadow. Across the top in purple cursive, "Virgo Season," across the bottom in print, "August 22 - September 22, 2025.
Slide 2: Same background image as Slide 1. "Virgo Season Tarot & Oracle Card Spread" Four mint green card backs with light purple neon borders, and one with the colors reversed. "1. What's the best way to ground my head & heart? 2. How can I know myself more deeply? 3. How does being present benefit me? 4. What action benefits my divine timing most? Bonus: Next step in this moment."

The Aquarius Full Moon reaches its zenith in the wee hours at 1:55 am MDT/ 3:55 am EDT tomorrow, August 9, 2025.
Just after the 8/8 "Lion's Gate Portal" reaches its peak of manifestation energy. But even though there's great creation energy in the numerology of the 8/8, I just saw a video that says the Lion's Gate may actually be incorrect. The jury is still out.
However, with all of the current transits, this is still a powerful time of releasing what is holding you back and calling in that which aligns with your deepest soul's calling.
This year's Aquarius Full Moon highlights the traits that Aquarius has in common with its sibling sign Leo. They're both natural leaders, but with their own style, Leo tends to be extroverted and comfortable in the spotlight, while Aquarius is more cerebral yet enjoys standing out from the crowd.
Also, both energies help us be our unapologetic authentic selves, no matter how "weird" it may seem to others.
Most Moon cycles call for releasing during the Full Moon and planting seeds for manifestation during the New Moon.
The energy I'm picking up suggests that if you've been doing your emotional and spiritual work, during this Full Moon, it's crucial to release what is taking up unnecessary space.
Then, proclaim to the universe & your spirit guides that you're ready to receive what is meant to fill that void.
After, continue making aligned choices and taking inspired action to ensure you're co-creating your best life.
Your actions are a declaration of what you're ready to receive.
"I want to believe." -The X-Files
I just learned that both Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny have Leo Suns and Aquarius Moons. So with our alien full moon, it felt appropriate to quote X-Files.
Fun Fact: Colorado Springs also has a Leo Sun and an Aquarius Moon. Founded on July 31, 1871, it just turned 154!
A big part of manifesting is believing that it's possible and then trusting your gut and pursuing your goals, pursuing your truth.
Manifesting coaches would say that a more beneficial affirmation would simply be, "I believe." But maybe you're not there yet; all these retrogrades could make you feel uneasy and unsure.
But the energy is primed to help you figure out what you want. Be aware that you can't force this type of inspiration; it works better if you allow it to flow to you, use your power of conscious choice, and find the gumption to act.
Significant shifts are upon us, both personally and collectively. Shifts that will bring about change that could ripple through generations, both past and future.
Remember, there are FOUR retrogrades, so if you're not accepting the signs or trying to ignore your heart's calling, this energy could wake you up and force you to look at some hard truths.
This is not meant to scare you; it's meant to show you the sacredness of this time. If you're committed to doing the work and seeing it through, you will reap the fruits of your labor.
Of course, I created a spread to help you tap into this energy and discover your deepest truths.
You deserve a life filled with love & joy!

Wooo, this retrograde Season is starting with a bang! And of course, with Mercury is Retrograde in Leo, why wouldn't it?
Neptune is Retrograde July 4th - December 10th, 2025, and Saturn is Retrograde July 13th - November 27th, 2025, both in Aries & Pisces.
Before I get into the details of these transits, there are some overarching messages for the rest of 2025.
First, I want to remind you that it is the year of the Snake in Chinese astrology, and it's a 9-year in numerology. These energies together have set us up for multiple endings and divine transformations, and we still have 5-6 months left.
You can't control the chaos. And it's not up to you to fix it. Give yourself as much grace as possible.
😵When you feel...
-overwhelmed
-exhausted
-confused
-lost
-stuck
😇Then it's time to simplify...
-Return to your to-do list
-Touch a hobby you miss
-Sit down and take some deep breaths
-Slow down and rest
-Pick up your "Self-Care Toolkit": move your body, meditate, hot baths, time in nature, reading for pleasure, any kind of art, etc.
-Get out of your head and go have some fun.
🐏Neptune is Retrograde July 4th - December 10th, 2025, and 🐟Saturn is Retrograde July 13th - November 27th, 2025, both in Aries & Pisces. Neptune will spend a little less time in Pisces, and both planets will be in Aries the majority of the time.
So be aware of your fire; things could easily blow up, but luckily, the coolness of Pisces can assist you in managing your fire so you're using it to propel you forward without burning yourself or others.
Getting through this possibly challenging time will be easier when you focus on what you need first, then your family, and then your community.
You might need your family or community right now, especially if you start to feel like you're going through this alone. You're not!
Even when it doesn't feel like it, there is someone out there who cares, even if you have to pay them to listen. There is no shame in meeting your needs.
If all else fails, hunker down and rest; the world will be there when you're ready. And on the other side of this, you will be a wiser, more evolved version of yourself, ready to take on anything that comes across your path.
Since this is such a big chunk of time, I curated spreads that you can return to at any time the rest of the year. And you don't always have to do the whole thing; maybe you just need one or two of the questions.
IDs: Saturn Retrograde Slide 1: The background is a swirl of deep space colors. A tilted Saturn is in the center, balancing an Aries symbol and fire on the left and a Pisces symbol and water on the right.

How do I know when it's aligned to ignite something new? 2. How do I know when it's aligned to hang back & go with the flow? 3. When my ego is trying to drive, how can I drop into my heart?"

Wooo, this retrograde Season is starting with a bang! And of course, with Mercury is Retrograde in Leo, why wouldn't it?
I swear it felt like it began in the shadow a week before it was officially stationed retrograde.
We also have several other cross-over retrogrades happening until the end of the year. Two more posts to come!

🦁Mercury Retrograde in Leo
On June 30th, 2025, Mercury enters the Retrograde Zone (pre-retrograde shadow), then on July 18th, 2025, Mercury stations and turns retrograde.
Mercury stations and turns direct on August 11th, 2025, and on August 25th, 2025, Mercury leaves the Retrograde Zone (post-retrograde zone) all in the bright, bold, and courageous sign of Leo.
So we will most likely feel the effects until the very end on August 25th.
The standard rules apply; don't sign contracts or start anything brand new. Technology and communication are bound to mess up, so step away when you can before reacting, breathe, and return to it.
In Leo, the risk is that pride and the ego can easily get triggered during this time. Remember, the answer to competition is community.
Remember, these spreads are not just for this time; they are beneficial whenever they feel relevant and aligned.

The Leo New Moon occurred on Thursday, July 23rd, 2025, at 1:11 pm MDT/3:11 pm EDT.
Setting the tone for us to have an intensely Leo, Leo Season, lol.
That's not a bad thing, but this energy isn't always easy for everyone to take. It IS for everyone to benefit from!
The affirmation is: "I am wholly myself, my heart's mission is clear. I love to shine brightly without doubt, shame, or fear."
Over the next month, if you feel yourself being triggered by others being seen or showing up unapologetically, ask yourself: what about that do you want? How do you want to be seen?
Leo energy and the New Moon can show you how to validate yourself so that it is easier to be not only seen but appreciated by others.
You simply have to act like who you want to be, and you'll be it.
Don't see it as "fake it 'til you make it" because it's not fake, it's already within you. It's more like, "dress for the job you want."
"Don't dream it, be it!" -Rocky Horror Picture Show
Leo is the ultimate cheerleader. Now is your chance to channel that hope, joy, and faith for yourself!
And believe that you deserve it! Because YOU DO!
This spread will help you tap into the Leo New Moon's magic!
