The upcoming lunar eclipse and full moon will coincide on August 28 in the water sign Pisces, offering flashes of inspiration and motivation and bringing hidden matters into public view. Being gentle to others and ourselves throughout is crucial.
This eclipse produces a “T” shape from communicative Mercury in Virgo and arouses Uranus in Gemini, uniting with the sensitive moon in Pisces. A “T-square” is an astrological configuration that occurs when two planets oppose each other and another comes in between them. In this case, the moon in Pisces juxtaposes Mercury in Virgo with Uranus intersecting. This fraught aspect means that we are taking action and making major decisions. Secrets will come to light, so prepare for the big reveal—and unexpectedly.
Our perception and impulses skyrocket, urging us to lean into premonitions. It’s wise to pause and reflect before making moves: eclipses can make it feel like it’s now or never, when we still have time to assess. Remember, Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, with the eclipse signifying the end of an era. Nothing is ever actually over, only this version. Something unknown awaits—which could be even better.
Read your lunar eclipse horoscope below.
Aries
Breakthroughs are possible if you listen to your intuition. Instead of being logical, which you’ve been trying recently to counteract your impulsivity, focus on what your soul is telling you. Doing so will guide you to awareness and enliven you into a novel state of being. Writing or recording your thoughts is an easy way to keep score of them.
Taurus
The collaborative ambitions and hopes you share with a few of your peers are on pause because you’re not seeing eye to eye. Don’t get sidetracked from the overall vision, even as other friends step in to support and cultivate your aspirations. Be ready to hear unique proposals and ideas from them that take your desires to the next level.
Gemini
Realigning to the career path you first set out on is going to be at the forefront of your mind because you feel as if you’ve gotten off route. Getting back there will require effort due to current expectations and obligations; however, if you put your heart into it, you’ll be able to revise and redefine your professional goals.
Cancer
Discretion is vital when hearing gossip that could harm the reputation of someone you respect. Debating whether to inform the person it’s about will present a moral quandary. A real friend is not a backstabber; they’ll always say it like it is. Consider being honest: It may hurt, but it’s the best option to maintain the relationship.
Leo
When an acquaintance asks for help, you’ll be torn about whether to do so, as their request blurs boundaries. You’ll discover that you have to question your personal limits to meet their wants and needs, which means sacrificing your own. It’s reasonable to find an equilibrium or sound off without explaining your reasoning. Either way, draw a line in the sand.
Virgo
Lately, you’ve been projecting your affections, desires and fears onto others, which has led you to idealise them. The lunar eclipse offers an acute glimpse into who they truly are, letting the veil drop that has been hiding their actual demeanour. Pay attention to what you notice now, because it will matter in gauging whether you can commit going forward.
Libra
Management instabilities lead to different assignments with fellow team members. Before you are discouraged by the radical methods and tasks, allow yourself to get to know these co-workers and take on the mandates with them. This could be the beginning of beautiful work associations if you let it. Welcome them into your life and start on the right foot.
