このエピソードについて
The August 2026 Eclipse Season is here, beginning with the August 12 New Moon + Total Solar Eclipse and culminating with the August 28 Lunar Eclipse.
In this episode, we explore the deeper meaning of this powerful eclipse corridor through Western astrology, Vedic astrology (Jyotisha), Ayurveda, Yoga, Kundalini and Tantra and, most importantly, how we can actually work with this energy in our everyday lives.
The August 12 Total Solar Eclipse falls in Leo in Western tropical astrology, bringing themes of identity, courage, creativity, visibility, authenticity and releasing our need for external validation.
Through the Vedic sidereal lens, the eclipse takes us into Cancer and Ashlesha Nakshatra, symbolized by the coiled serpent and the sacred process of shedding what has become too small for who we are becoming.
Then, on August 28, we move into the Lunar Eclipse in Pisces through the Western lens and Aquarius + Shatabhisha Nakshatra through the Vedic lens, shifting the conversation toward surrender, healing, release and our relationship with the collective.

Eclipses have a way of accelerating what has already been moving beneath the surface.
We can resist the change, cling to what is familiar and try to continue with business as usual.
Or we can listen.
We can become curious about what life is asking of us and consciously participate in the transformation already unfolding.
What is changing?
What are you ready to shed?
What wants to emerge through you now?
What ends with you?
What begins through you?
You don't have to know exactly what's next.
Move. Breathe. Practice. Nourish yourself. Listen.
Allow everything. Follow nothing.
Eclipse season doesn't require us to predict the future. It asks us to become present enough to participate in our becoming.
