Welcome to 2nd Eclipse Season of 2026 everyone! And we are officially in the Lion’s Gate passage since July 26th. Take a breath. After a mercury retrograde that felt like a long pause and was perhaps frustrating to many–we are now getting prepared to move forward in a bigger way.
This month of August is likely to be one of the most powerful months of this year! The Lion’s Gate passage that goes from the 26th of July through the 12th of August and peaks on the 8th is a astrological and numerological phenomenon that occurs when the star Sirius aligns with our sun in the sign of Leo. It is always a time for boosting your abundance quotient, self-worth and the quality of your love life or relationships.
It’s also a time to set intentions for any area of your life and manifest with greater speed and ease. Inner transformation, upleveling or making any major changes in your life is also highlighted during this time. So if you’ve been wanting to make a leap forward, now is the time. Choose the timeline you want to be on!
On the 12th of August, just at the end of the Lion’s Gate passage, we will have a Total Solar Eclipse in Leo. With all the emphasis on Leo energy and this particular eclipse being in the fifth house, it’s definitely a great time to initiate shining your light, leadership and sharing your special gifts and unique expression in the world. If you are doing that already, this energy might emphasize working with your creativity and passion, doing what you love most.
It’s also a reminder that your true purpose should feel like play. And this is the time to let yourself be seen. No more playing small! At this time on the planet, all lightworkers and starseeds are needed. All hands on deck will help accelerate the shift in consciousness occurring here.
And as we move beyond the Lion’s Gate and the solar eclipse, we will be integrating the first set of eclipse energies. For those who are ready, during the eclipse sandwich or within the time of the second eclipse, blindspots will be revealed. Any important aspect(s) that you’ve been unable to see clearly or acknowledge in your life can come into full view.
So take it all in, make changes, be accountable for past mistakes and take responsibility in the ways needed so that your life and purpose can move forward in the way your soul desires.
As time unfolds towards the end of August, on the 28th, we will have a Partial Lunar Eclipse in Pisces. If you haven’t already, this eclipse can help you open up to any parts of yourself that need healing. This is a potential for many and one that can bring renewal, hope, promise and set you well on your soul’s destiny course. If you are already on that course, then much of what is needed for progress can align, deepen and/or take off for you.
But the significant factor in this second eclipse is the letting go. There will be something that needs releasing, big or small. And it may require an ending or severing of something or with someone you are attached to.
This can be profound so expect the emotions to flow. There is a great beauty in any grief process. And of course with endings comes new beginnings! So look for the rainbow after the storm.
Know that this can be a time of completion with particular long-standing issues or patterns, soul contracts or karmic debts. You may be more aware of your growth and the likelihood of bigger dreams or goals being attained either in the near or far future timelines. Let yourself be guided and led forward by these dreams, reminding yourself that it is the journey not the destination that matters most.
As a reminder, eclipse energies take time to integrate. Often it takes 6 months or even up to a year to see the changes that can come from the shifts made during an eclipse season. With all of the other energies we are receiving in this time: higher frequencies, solar flares, divine codes and other unique and novel transformative energies, it is important to stay present and take good care of yourself.
Each day you might feel different. Life navigation requires discernment and self-care. It often involves the shifting of your schedule in a moment’s notice or slowing down to be able to handle the integration of these energies with ease and grace.
We are not in Kansas anymore folks! Although these are exciting and extraordinary times–certainly times we were born for, we can’t continue living or operating as we did in the past. So make the adjustments that you know are needed daily or moment by moment in order to flow better and stay balanced on a regular basis.
Most of all, be extra gentle or tender with yourself and others. We are all moving through our own challenges, no matter how it might appear. Holding a space of compassion or forgiveness for self and others is what sets us free! Even with those who we thought we’d never be able forgive, in our personal lives or on the human collective world stage, at this point in our evolution it is a must!
For the forward momentum that many are looking for in this time, releasing the baggage and raising your frequency is key. Whether you are taking a first step or completing a cycle, compassion and 100% forgiveness is the way to go.
Blessings and love during this magical Lion’s Gate & Eclipse Season! ~Heather
