A Total Solar Eclipse Over Europe: What It Means for August 2026
What this covers
This video presents an astrological forecast for August 2026, recorded in late July with a caveat that current events may influence the interpretation. The creator outlines a month characterized by calm outer planet movements—specifically Pluto, Neptune, and Saturn—while highlighting the dynamic energy of Jupiter in Leo and Mars square Neptune. The central focus is on two significant celestial events: a total solar eclipse on August 12 and a lunar eclipse on August 28. The discussion expands on the historical and cultural significance of solar eclipses, emphasizing that individual reactions are personal, before detailing the geographical visibility of the eclipse across North America, Africa, and Europe. Although August is described as generally slow astrologically, the eclipses are identified as powerful catalysts for sharp change, prompting a promotion for a members-only live deep dive into the month's specific astrological weather.

The creator introduces the August 2026 forecast, noting the video is recorded in late July with the expectation that current events may shift the context by release. The month is characterized by calm outer planet movements, with Pluto, Neptune, and Saturn in retrograde or stable positions, while Jupiter moves rapidly through Leo and Mars squares Neptune. The summary highlights significant upcoming events, specifically a total solar eclipse on August 12 and a lunar eclipse on August 28, along with their astrological and geographical impacts.
- The forecast is recorded late July 2026, with a caveat that the world situation may change before the video releases.
- Outer planets are relatively calm: Pluto retrogrades in Aquarius, Neptune retrogrades in Aries, and Saturn retrogrades in Aries without major aspects.
- Jupiter moves through Leo (6° to 13.5°), suggesting acceleration, growth, and potential excess; it forms a trine with Saturn on August 31, favoring balanced financial and business planning.
- Mars squares Neptune around August 16–18, creating a provocative energy that requires physical movement (like dancing or yoga) to integrate spiritual and physical forces.
- Venus opposes Neptune around August 10–11 while trining Uranus and Pluto; this is expected to be a minor event.
- Mercury exits retrograde, moves through Leo from August 9 to 25, and enters Virgo at the month's end.
- A total solar eclipse occurs on August 12 at 20° of Leo, visible across a path from Iceland to Russia, causing significant light obstruction in the UK and Europe.
- A lunar eclipse occurs on August 28, with 93% of the Moon eclipsed, visible in Europe and the Americas.

The creator promotes a members-only live deep dive into August's astrological weather, highlighting that while the month is generally slow, the eclipses act as sharp, powerful catalysts for change.
- Animals and humans react to eclipses differently, with humans often engaging in noise-making or quiet observation.
- Eclipses have historically evoked a mix of awe, worship, fear, and misuse for personal power.
- The solar eclipse is primarily a European event, though visible in northeast Canada and northwest Africa.
- Individuals with planets at 20° of Leo or Aquarius should exercise caution due to the eclipse's influence.
- A members-only live stream is scheduled for Thursday, August 6th, at 7:00 p.m. local time for a detailed August forecast.
- August is characterized as a time of "time" (slow energy) but features stand-alone, sharp, and powerful developments due to the eclipses.
- The eclipse on the 12th coincides with Venus opposite Neptune, potentially allowing Venus to be visible during the event.
