If you thought that Mercury retrograde and the total lunar eclipse at the end of July was a lot to handle, wait until you hear this: on August 11, a partial solar eclipse is happening during five planetary retrogrades, and no matter what your zodiac sign, it's going to affect you. Because, make no mistake, five retrogrades are definitely going to have an effect on your everyday lives, regardless of your zodiac sign.
To really understand what you can expect within the next few days, you need a solid understanding of how each event will affect you. The partial solar eclipse is happening during a new moon. New moons signal the end of one cycle and the beginning of a new one, and you'll feel that energy. A new moon typically makes people want to get rid of the old and start something fresh. New moons give everyone the urge to do something different and, well, new with their lives.
A partial solar eclipse affects you a little differently. As astrologer , "Spiritually, there's a shadow of ourselves that we must reflect on. Since solar eclipses are tied in with new moons, and new moons in astrology are tied in with a good time to begin or end a project, idea, or intention, a new moon during an eclipse is considered a good time to tackle the old and outworn ideas, feelings, and thoughts we may be holding and allow the sun to inject new life and vitality into our intentions." In other words, a solar eclipse is a time of reflection as well as a time of new beginnings. That would all be some positive energy and vibes that are probably welcome to anyone at the end of the summer, but the retrogrades might make things a little more complicated. First, you've got Mercury retrograde, which is known for causing major communication mishaps. During Mercury retrograde, you aren't supposed to start anything new, but instead focus on reflecting on the past. This is in contrast to the energy from the eclipse, which might make things feel frustrating.
Saturn will be retrograde through September 6, and could affect your job and your feeling of ambition. This could work in or against your favor when combined with the energy from the eclipse. Mars retrograde will be going on through the end of August, and could make you feel low on energy and impatient. During Mars retrograde, it's often recommended to step back and relax rather than get into something new and complicated. Neptune retrograde is pretty emotional, and could leave you feeling kind of distracted when it comes to basically anything. Lastly, there's Pluto retrograde. Luckily, this doesn't affect us much as it's very far away from Earth.
Taking all of that into consideration, it's pretty obvious that this time period should be all about reflection. You'll want to put a pause on starting anything new, even if you feel the urge to do so. You're better off taking time to step back, look at the past, and figure out what hasn't been working for you. Take things slow during this time — there's no need to rush into anything, and in fact, it isn't a good idea to do so. You've got this! You just need to use this time as an excuse to relax a bit. It might be the beginning of August, and the days might still be hot and humid, but it's hard to deny the end of summer feeling in the air. We're getting a little bit closer to the beginning of fall, and even though the temperature isn't going to change drastically within the next few weeks, there's still that vibe of seasons changing. Going from one season into another tends to make people ready for something fresh and new - and that's exactly why the August super new moon is coming at just the right time. The August super new moon has some spiritual meanings that are going to help you end your summer the right way.
The moon goes through phases as it orbits the Earth, and the new moon is first phase in a cycle, the first day of a new 29 day lunar month.
"The moon in astrology represents our emotions, feelings, inner nature, intuition, and our mother or mother figure, among other things." Mckean adds, "The cyclical nature of the moon, according to astrology, has an effect on our sense of environment around us and how we react to that environment accordingly." That said, it makes sense that the biggest spiritual meaning of a new moon is that it makes us feel ready for something new. A new moon inspires us to start something different, make a change in our lives, and get rid of anything that wasn't serving us in the past. The new moon is a perfect time to set your intentions for the next month or few months, write down all of your goals, and begin a new project.
This August super new moon also happens to be a partial solar eclipse. It's going to give us the energy we need to really finish whatever we were doing and welcome a new chapter into our lives. Forever Conscious reported, "Following this Leo Solar Eclipse, we may receive closure with things that have been brewing over the last few months, and we may also feel a little more energized or motivated to forge ahead." This solar eclipse is going to give us more clarity and illuminate the areas of our life that have felt confusing and frustrating. We're going to understand some important things, and therefore be able to forge ahead. This partial solar eclipse and new moon are also happening during Mercury retrograde, which may throw things for a loop. While the new moon is going to make you want to start something new, Mercury retrograde may hold you back. In other words, this new moon is really about reflecting, closing the door on certain things in your path, and trying to get a better understanding of what is going to best serve you in the coming weeks and months. As Forever Conscious reported, "It has been an intense time of self-reflection, and a time where the Universe has really allowed all the muck to rise to the surface in order to be cleared. The August Solar Eclipse is the last point in this cycle. It represents the rebirth, the end of one chapter and the start of a new one." That's probably the best kind of energy to channel at the end of the summer!
