New Moon in Leo, 2 August: your 3rd house, total solar eclipse
On Monday 2 August the Moon and the Sun meet at 9°54′ Leo, at 10:05 UTC; for Gemini that degree lies in the 3rd house, the house of words, siblings and short journeys.
At a New Moon the Sun and the Moon stand together, and the old almanacs marked the turn of the month for planting; this August the planting is in your 3rd house, the Goddess, where the tradition looks for a fresh routine in the daily round: a new route, a new notebook, a new way of keeping in touch. For Gemini this August, Leo lends it warmth, courage and a little theater.
This New Moon is also a solar eclipse, a New Moon so close to the Moon’s nodes that the Moon covers the Sun for part of the Earth, and for Gemini it falls in the 3rd house. NASA classes it as total; for Gemini its greatest moment, at 10:07 UTC at 9°55′ Leo, is the one the tradition counts, and on the central line totality lasts up to 6 minutes 23 seconds. An eclipse in the third house is read as a turning in how you think, speak and move through your local world. Read the total solar eclipse for Gemini in full.
If you want something to do with this August lunation, answer the message you have been avoiding, kindly and briefly.
Beyond the Sun sign
Your Sun sign is only part of 2027
A Gemini forecast reads the year by your Sun sign alone. The Road of Ages reads the turning points of your whole life from your own birth date, and shows where you stand on it now.
See the year on your own RoadFull Moon in Aquarius, 17 August: your 9th house, penumbral lunar eclipse
On Tuesday 17 August the Moon comes full at 24°11′ Aquarius, at 07:29 UTC, facing the Sun in Leo; for Gemini it fills the 9th house, the house of faith, travel and higher learning, from across the 3rd.
Astrology reads a Full Moon as an axis rather than a point, and the August axis runs through your 9th house, the God, showing a teacher’s influence, or your own as a teacher, coming into view. Set in your 9th house, the August lunation takes its tone from its sign: Aquarius makes the mood cool and forward-looking, concerned with the group and the future. Read as an axis, from your 9th house to your 3rd, this August Full Moon runs along the axis of the near and the far: daily words and larger beliefs, errands and pilgrimages.
Astronomically the August Full Moon is a penumbral lunar eclipse: the Moon crosses only the Earth’s faint outer shadow, a dimming many people never notice, here in your 9th house. NASA classes it as penumbral, greatest at 07:14 UTC with the Moon at 24°04′ Aquarius in Gemini’s 9th house, a faint shading rather than a red Moon. With the Moon eclipsed in the house of the God, the old counsel is to pray, read and wait for understanding before you pronounce.
If you want something to do with this August lunation, find a teacher, a class or a book that is a little beyond you.
New Moon in Virgo, 31 August: your 4th house
The New Moon is exact at 17:41 UTC on Tuesday 31 August, at 8°06′ Virgo. Counted by whole signs from Gemini, Virgo is your 4th house, the house of home, family and roots.
The tradition reads a New Moon as a seed rather than a harvest, and the August seed falls in your 4th house, the Subterranean of the old books: a new beginning at home: a room set right, a move considered, a family pattern looked at honestly. In your 4th house this August, Virgo lends it precision, modesty and service.
One way for Gemini to meet it in August: do one small act that makes your home feel more ordered and protected.
Planets changing sign or direction in August
Mercury crosses into Leo on 2 August and so into your 3rd house. Until 17 August, Mercury in your 3rd house is at home in the house of words: messages multiply, errands pile up and learning comes easily.
Saturn stations retrograde in Aries, your 11th house, the start of a backward loop of 136 days that ends on 24 December. The turn comes on 9 August, at 27°52′ Aries, and in your 11th house its review touches friendship, groups and communities, and hopes for the future.
Mercury enters Virgo on 17 August, your 4th house. Until 3 September, with Mercury at the root of your chart, the tradition reads a spell for talking things through at home and for planning a move or a repair.
Venus crosses into Virgo on 20 August and so into your 4th house. Until 13 or 14 September, with Venus at the root of your chart, the tradition reads a warm spell for domestic pleasure, hospitality and peace at home.
The Sun enters Virgo, your 4th house, on 23 August at 08:14 UTC. Until 23 September, with the Sun in your house of roots, the season turns inward, toward the household, the past and the people who are family.
Love, work and money for Gemini in August
Venus begins August in Leo, your 3rd house, and enters Virgo, your 4th, on 20 August, turning affection toward living together, family plans and the private life a couple shares.
Mars stays in Libra all month, your 5th house, putting the month’s effort into creative work and any project you care about for its own sake.
For money, no lunation or fast planet changes in your 2nd house (Cancer) or your 8th (Capricorn) in August, so the tradition would put the month’s weight elsewhere and leave Gemini’s budgets to ordinary prudence.
Questions to carry through August
- What am I learning, and what am I only consuming?
- Is my faith growing, or only being kept?
- What did I inherit that I want to keep, and what would I lay down?
