What's the Astrology Forecast for August 24–30?
Hi Astro Friends,
The summer days are slowly getting shorter, but I'm determined to soak up every bit of this "summer" season. How are you keeping the summer fire alive?
Big week! We have the Sun and Mercury both settle into Virgo! Be ready for sharpening our focus on all the details, routines, and what actually needs fixing. Mercury joins the Sun there on Tuesday, so expect your mind to feel clearer and more organized than it has in weeks.
But the real story is Friday: a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces. We have been in between eclipses these past few weeks. Things to remember about eclipses is they bring things to a head fast. And this one asks you to release what Virgo just helped you see clearly. Can you let go of an old story, a habit, a way of doing things that's run its course.
What Should I Reflect On During This Lunar Eclipse?
Consider: What have I outgrown? What am I ready to let dissolve? Where do I need to trust instead of control?
You don't have to have it all figured out by Friday. Just stay open to what wants to dissolve.

Monday, August 24th — Capricorn Moon ♑
Energy: Steady, disciplined, and goal-oriented.
Self-Care: Give yourself credit for progress, not just results.

Tuesday, August 25th — Aquarius Moon ♒
Energy: Independent, inventive, and a little detached.
Self-Care: Talk to someone who sparks a new idea in you.

Wednesday, August 26th — Aquarius Moon ♒
Energy: Curious, unconventional, and future-focused.
Self-Care: Break one small routine on purpose today.

Thursday, August 27th — Aquarius Moon ♒
Energy: Detached, idealistic, and quietly rebellious.
Self-Care: Question one rule you've been following out of habit.

Friday, August 28th — Pisces Full Moon Lunar Eclipse ♓
Energy: Emotional, dreamy, and wide open.
Self-Care: Be near water if you can, and let yourself feel whatever comes up.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Saturday, August 29th — Pisces Moon ♓
Energy: Gentle, intuitive, and still tender from yesterday.
Self-Care: Rest without guilt. You earned it. Eclipse hangover.
Tween Vibe: A locked-door, headphones-on kind of day is likely. Offer quiet company, not conversation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Sunday, August 30th — Aries Moon ♈
Energy: Bold, restless, and ready to move.
Self-Care: Get your body moving — it burns off extra energy.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Week's Eclipse
What is a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces?
It's a Full Moon that lands during an eclipse, which makes everything feel bigger. In Pisces, that means extra emotion, extra intuition, and a strong pull to let something go.
How long do eclipse effects usually last?
Longer than one day. This energy has been building for weeks, and it can keep unfolding for months. Don't expect it to wrap up neatly by Friday night.
How can moms support tweens during eclipse energy?
Stay calm and stay close. Your tween might seem extra emotional or want to disappear into their room. They don't need you to fix it — they need to know you're steady.
Blessings,
Kristin
