New Moon in Leo, 2 August: your 6th house, total solar eclipse
On Monday 2 August the Moon and the Sun meet at 9°54′ Leo, at 10:05 UTC; for Pisces that degree lies in the 6th house, the house of daily work, habits and health routines.
In the old reckoning the New Moon was the threshold every month was counted from, and the August threshold stands in your 6th house, Bad Fortune, read as a new routine: an earlier start, a cleaner desk, a habit that makes tomorrow easier. For Pisces this August, Leo, fixed fire ruled by the Sun, gives it a warm and wholehearted manner that wants to be seen.
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 Pisces it falls in the 6th house. NASA classes it as total; for Pisces 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 sixth house is read as a turning in daily work and routine: a new job, a new schedule or a habit that can no longer be ignored. Read the total solar eclipse for Pisces in full.
If you want something to do with this August lunation, choose one habit that would make tomorrow easier, and do it today.

Tuesday 17 August brings the Full Moon at 24°11′ Aquarius, exact at 07:29 UTC, opposite the Sun in Leo, and for Pisces it lands in the 12th house, the house of rest, solitude and the hidden life.
A Full Moon is read as an illumination, and the August Full Moon shines into your 12th house, the Bad Spirit, where it shows what you have been hiding, perhaps even from yourself. In your 12th house this August, Aquarius, fixed air ruled by Saturn in the old books, gives it an independent and principled manner. Read as an axis, from your 12th house to your 6th, this August Full Moon runs along the axis of work and rest: the duties of the day and the retreat that restores you.
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 12th house. NASA classes it as penumbral, greatest at 07:14 UTC with the Moon at 24°04′ Aquarius in Pisces’s 12th house, a faint shading rather than a red Moon. With the Moon eclipsed in the house of hidden things, the old counsel is to keep company with silence for a while.
One way for Pisces to meet it in August: finish something that has lingered so long you stopped seeing it.
New Moon in Virgo, 31 August: your 7th house
On Tuesday 31 August the Moon and the Sun meet at 8°06′ Virgo, at 17:41 UTC; for Pisces that degree lies in the 7th house, the house of partners and agreements.
Astrology reads the New Moon as the time to start small and mean it, and in August the small start belongs to your 7th house, the Setting: a fresh start in a relationship that has drifted into routine. Set in your 7th house, the August lunation takes its tone from its sign: Virgo lends it precision, modesty and service.
If you want something to do with this August lunation, plan time with a partner that is not about logistics.
