    Full Moon in Pisces: The Final Goodbye | Vedic Astrology Forecast – Uttara Bhadrapada, September 2026

    The Full Moon on 26 September 2026 falls at 9° Pisces in Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra — taking us into the deep waters of emotion, memory, endings and release. Arriving just after the equinox, this Full Moon marks a natural turning inwards. With the Moon closely accompanied by retrograde Neptune, old grief, dreams, beliefs and emotional patterns may resurface. But something returning to our awareness does not necessarily mean we are supposed to return to it. Sometimes it comes back because we are finally ready to put it down. In this Vedic Astrology forecast, we explore the Saturn-ruled waters of Uttara Bhadrapada and its ancient serpent symbolism; Jupiter exalted in Cancer; Mars moving through Pushya; the continuing story of the August solar eclipse in Ashlesha; and the approaching Venus retrograde. We also look ahead to Saturn's return to Uttara Bhadrapada and the potential for themes arising now to develop through October and into November. At the heart of this Full Moon is a deceptively simple instruction: Get grounded. Grounding does not mean suppressing what you feel. It means giving yourself enough stability to distinguish what you feel from what is actually happening. What has reached its natural conclusion? What are you still holding onto? What are you devoted to? And what have your previous difficulties taught you that can illuminate the way forward now? I also take you through the Full Moon sign by sign for all 12 sidereal signs, followed by a simple embodied grounding practice to help navigate the emotional intensity of this lunation. Sometimes the final goodbye isn't to another person. Sometimes it's to the version of ourselves that we no longer need to be.

    Vedic New Moon in Leo September 2026 | Purva Phalguni: Desire, Creativity & New Beginnings

    The New Moon arrives at 24° sidereal Leo on 11 September 2026, in the fertile and creative nakshatra of Purva Phalguni. After the disruption and revelations of eclipse season, this New Moon brings a change of emphasis. There is fire, passion and creative potential here — but can we distinguish genuine inspiration from urgency, desire and compulsion? Purva Phalguni is ruled by Venus and connected with creativity, pleasure, relationship, fertility and the fruits of our actions. With Venus strong in Libra, new relationships, collaborations and alliances may help something new begin to take form. Mercury in Virgo wants a practical plan, while Mars adds considerable heat and momentum to our thinking and negotiations. Saturn, meanwhile, asks whether our ideas can actually withstand reality. We also look at Ketu travelling through Magha, changing relationships with leadership, authority and the past, and Uranus stationing retrograde in Rohini, potentially disrupting established ideas around resources, food, security and material stability. In this episode, I explore what this New Moon may mean through each of the twelve houses for your sidereal Ascendant, before finishing with a simple grounding practice for navigating the lingering intensity of the nodal axis. The central question of this New Moon: Is this inspiration — or is this compulsion? Desire is information. It isn't necessarily an instruction. #NewMoon #NewMoonSeptember2026 #NewMoonInLeo #LeoNewMoon #VedicAstrology #SiderealAstrology #Jyotish #PurvaPhalguni #PurvaPhalguniNakshatra #Nakshatra #AstrologyPodcast #SeptemberAstrology #September2026 #Ketu #Rahu #MaghaNakshatra #UranusRetrograde #SoulMaps

    Aquarius Lunar Eclipse 2026: Shatabhishak, the Collective Mind & the Empty Throne | Vedic Astrology

    On 28 August 2026, a powerful partial Lunar Eclipse unfolds in sidereal Aquarius, in the mysterious Rahu-ruled nakshatra of Shatabhishak — the Hundred Healers. But Shatabhishak carries another translation: the Hundred Demons. So where does medicine become poison? Where does healing become excess? And how do we distinguish intuition from fear, urgency or obsession when Rahu is distorting the light of the Moon? In this episode of Soul Maps, we explore the deeper symbolism of this eclipse and its relationship with Varuna, the cosmic waters, truth and order. Aquarius gives us the extraordinary image of the empty pot: the apparent boundary between the individual and the greater whole. What happens when we realize that the space within the vessel was never truly separate from the space surrounding it? And if we are constantly receiving from — and contributing to — the collective mind, another question emerges: What are we pouring into it? Across the eclipse axis, the Sun and Ketu sit in Magha, the nakshatra of the Pitṛs, ancestry, kingship, authority and the throne. The empty pot meets the empty throne. Who have we allowed to steer the collective? What authority have we outsourced? And what happens when we realise that belonging to the whole does not remove individual responsibility for what we contribute to it? We also explore Mars in Ardra, Venus debilitated in Virgo, combust Mercury, Saturn retrograde in Pisces, the extraordinary involvement of the outer planets, and what these patterns may suggest for relationships, communication, leadership, institutions and the wider collective. Plus, I take you through the eclipse sign by sign for all 12 sidereal Ascendants and Moon signs, with practical guidance for navigating the eclipse without getting swept away by Rahu's urgency. The pot gives us form. The emptiness reminds us that we were never separate. And perhaps the question of this eclipse is not simply “What is happening to the collective?” It is: “What am I contributing to it?” #LunarEclipse #LunarEclipse2026 #AquariusEclipse #VedicAstrology #SiderealAstrology #Jyotish #Shatabhisha #ShatabhishaNakshatra #Nakshatra #Rahu #Ketu #Magha #MaghaNakshatra #Varuna #Aquarius #EclipseSeason #Spirituality #CollectiveConsciousness #AstrologyPodcast #SoulMaps

    Solar Eclipse in Cancer 12 August 2026 | Ashlesha, Attachment & the Shadow | Vedic Astrology

    A powerful Solar Eclipse arrives on 12 August 2026 at 25° sidereal Cancer, opening an eclipse season centred on emotional security, attachment, transformation and the things we may be holding onto just a little too tightly. Taking place in Ashlesha Nakshatra — the mysterious realm of the Nagas or serpents — this eclipse asks us to look beneath the surface. What genuinely nourishes us, and what are we gripping because we're afraid of what happens if we let go? In this episode of Soul Maps, I explore the Vedic astrology of the August Solar Eclipse, including Jupiter in Cancer, Mercury and the wisdom-versus-snake-oil dilemma of Ashlesha, Mars entering stormy Ardra, Venus in Virgo turning love into a spreadsheet, and the powerful Leo–Aquarius nodal axis. With Ketu moving through Magha near the royal star Regulus and Rahu driving forward through Aquarius, themes around leadership, legitimacy, power, collective change and our rapidly evolving vision of the future are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. We'll also look at the current heightened geomagnetic activity, why biofeedback is more useful than blaming every strange Tuesday on the Sun, and how to stay grounded when eclipse season starts turning up the volume. Finally, I take you through all 12 sidereal rising and Moon signs to explore where the Cancer eclipse may be activating your own chart — from relationships and career to home, money, creativity and deeper psychological transformation. This is not an eclipse for forcing answers. Observe. Ground. Stay curious. And perhaps don't rebuild your entire life in a fortnight. The Solar Eclipse also opens the door to the Lunar Eclipse on 28 August — and we'll explore that next. 🎧 Listen for your sidereal Rising sign first and your Moon sign second.

    Full Moon in Capricorn: The Beginning of Eclipse Season | Vedic Astrology Forecast | 29 July 2026

    The Full Moon in Capricorn on 29 July 2026 marks far more than the peak of a lunar cycle—it opens the doorway into one of the most significant eclipse seasons of the year. In this episode, we explore the Vedic astrology behind this powerful Full Moon in Shravana Nakshatra, a lunar mansion associated with listening, wisdom and inner guidance. Opposite the Moon, the Sun joins an exalted Jupiter in Pushya Nakshatra, creating an unusually supportive and deeply spiritual atmosphere for learning, generosity, devotion and purposeful growth. We'll also explore: • Why this Full Moon feels unusually fortunate despite Pluto's transformative influence.• The beautiful planetary yogas supporting clarity, resilience and meaningful progress.• Mercury turning direct and what it means for communication, work and decision-making.• Venus entering Virgo and why perfectionism may become the hidden challenge during early August.• The unfolding timeline towards the 12 August Total Solar Eclipse in Ashlesha Nakshatra.• The deeper symbolism of Pushya and Ashlesha, and how discipline evolves into transformation during eclipse season.• A forecast for every sidereal rising sign and Moon sign, including the life area illuminated by this Full Moon and a practical grounding practice for each sign. This is less about prediction and more about understanding the quality of the season ahead. The sky describes the weather; how we walk through it is always our choice. I hope you enjoy the episode. #VedicAstrology #Jyotish #FullMoon #CapricornFullMoon #CancerSeason #Shravana #Pushya #Ashlesha #SolarEclipse #EclipseSeason #SiderealAstrology #MoonMagic #SpiritualGrowth #Meditation #SelfDevelopment #ConsciousLiving #AstrologyPodcast #IrishAstrologer #SoulMaps #WarriorYogaSligo

    Vedic New Moon in Gemini 14 July 2026: Mercury Retrograde & Punarvasu | Aim True

    The New Moon in sidereal Gemini arrives on 14 July 2026, closely aligned with retrograde Mercury in Punarvasu Nakshatra. If life has felt like rinse, repeat, revise and reroute — you are not alone. This is a strongly Mercurial New Moon, bringing themes of communication, travel, decisions, delays, changing plans and mental overload to the surface. But beneath the apparent confusion, Punarvasu offers the possibility of return, renewal and a clearer sense of direction. Perhaps you are not going backwards. Perhaps you are being asked to return to something important — this time with greater clarity. In this episode, I explore: • The New Moon in Gemini and Mercury retrograde • Punarvasu Nakshatra and the symbolism of the bow and arrow • Jupiter exalted in Cancer and the expansion of heart-led intention • Mars and Uranus in Taurus and the potential for heat, disruption and volatility • Venus, Ketu and changing relationship dynamics • Saturn, karma, leadership and the closing of old chapters • The approaching August eclipse season • Recent solar and geomagnetic activity • A practical Mercury retrograde anchor: Pause. Check. Choose. • The New Moon and Mercury retrograde through all 12 sidereal rising signs This New Moon asks a deceptively simple question: If you were to aim true now, what would you aim towards? Mercury retrograde may reroute the journey. Punarvasu may return us to something we thought we had left behind. But a return is not always a regression. Sometimes we circle back because there is something we need to retrieve. The sky describes the weather; how we walk through it is always our choice. #NewMoon #NewMoonInGemini #GeminiNewMoon #MercuryRetrograde #Punarvasu #PunarvasuNakshatra #VedicAstrology #SiderealAstrology #Jyotish #AstrologyPodcast #July2026Astrology #NewMoonJuly2026 #Nakshatra #JupiterInCancer #EclipseSeason #SolarActivity #SoulMaps #WarriorYogaSligo
