August 2026 – Wow. Wow. Wow.

From August 2025  – Pluto out of bounds

Another dimension of astrology is the fact that planets can be classified as out of bounds. When a planet is out of bounds, it is either 23.7° north or south of the equatorial plane. The equatorial plane divides the earth in the northern and southern hemisphere. It is perpendicular to the axis of the earth. It is an imaginary line.* Consider that if that line was extended out into space creating a disc around the Earth you would have a plane–sort of like a record. It is at 0° declination because it is 90° from the axis on which the Earth rotates. While planets travel around the Sun in their orbit, they often will go above or below the equatorial plane. When they surpass 23.7° north or south that is called out of bounds. Planets that can go out of bounds are the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Uranus, and Pluto. Whenever any of these planets are out of bounds, we get an exaggerated experience of their personality and their activity.

On August 29, 2025, Pluto went out of bounds south until November 25. Pluto will go out of bounds south every year through 2035. Once that period passes, Pluto will not go out of bounds south for thousands of years. Another way of looking at this is that all of the changes and things that take place in the coming years will probably remain somewhat status quo for thousands of years.

When Pluto is out of bounds south, it is a time of revolution, innovation, and the fall of empires. When Pluto is out of bounds north as it was from 1938 to 1953, dictatorships and authoritarianism rise and attempt to flourish.

Pluto was last out of bounds south during 1775 to 1796. That was a time of citizens taking charge of their governments and their human rights were expanded. 

For this astrologer, this is an amazing event. This truly seems to be part of the new dawn. Pluto is the planet of death and rebirth. Pluto is transiting Aquarius. This is one of the signs of  shifts in consciousness that we will be undergoing in years to come, but don’t forget–it’s just geometry. 

For more information on this fascinating topic, I suggest you read Persephone’s Revolution by Rosie Finn. She has researched Pluto out of bounds with her research going back thousands of years. Even people that don’t know much about astrology can enjoy reading this book. I suggest you start with part three and read the appendices first. If you don’t understand a term, Google it or use your AI to understand what that term means. You can also watch interviews of her on YouTube. Just search for her name.

And now in 2026

For the second year of the ten-year time period that began last year, Pluto will move out of bounds south on August 13  until December 10 with the extreme points of the time period being September 26 to October 16. 

This is a time of revolution, wherein the people begin to take charge. Historically speaking, while Pluto is out of bounds south, the revolutions are successful and the world order shifts. 

At Almost the same time….

The new Moon eclipse August 12 in Leo at 20° at 12:37 PM CDT

This powerful eclipse brings world and personal situations to a breaking point. It signals a time of turning away from the crises at hand in order to look at positive options. It will bring bold people who are willing to lead the world into a new paradigm.

With Mercury in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius, there will be more astounding revelations as we see who we are dealing with in our personal lives and more of what has been happening behind our backs. 

The basket that was formed between Jupiter, Pluto, Uranus, and Neptune has planted its seeds of evolution and reformation. Those planets are beginning to move out of the formation. There is still more unraveling of outdated systems and leadership, but the basket has done its job, which is to spark an awakening in all of us.

 While this eclipse is coming together and occurring, Mercury is forming angles to the Neptune and Uranus points of the basket. This will open dialog for creating harmony and evolution in our world community. The idea of loving our neighbor is coming back. More people will decide that war has never been the answer. 

At the same time Venus is also harmoniously angling Uranus, further prodding us to come together as one to cooperate for the good of all. This eclipse is another point in the zodiac that is tilting us towards realizing we are not different from one another no matter what our beliefs, skin color, or country of origin.  

At the same time as this eclipse, Mars has just moved into Cancer and is at 0°. This is a spark that will light action to move our personal and worldly security away from those who wish to destroy one another for profit. 

On a more mundane level, a leader may pass from the world stage, the fires will continue, and stories in the news will continue to shock and amaze us. In the 1960s there was a comedy called IT’S A MAD MAD MAD WORLD. While that was prophetic, where we are now is not a comedy. It is a battle for between change that is good for a few versus innovations that are nurturing to all of us.

This new Moon will bring about power struggles while exposing the lies we have been told. Remember, the truth shall set us free and with the new knowledge we have we can set new plans into motion–especially August 1, 17, and 31. While we are facing our truths we can remember there is still a tomorrow and that where we are in our lives is not permanent. Nor do we have to go along with what is not in our best interest. 

The full Moon August 27 eclipse at 11:19 PM CDT at 4° Pisces

This partial eclipse fuels our imagination and our idealism. Some of us will plot our escape while others of us begin to integrate our lives with the evolution that is at hand. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, and this eclipse is the last of the eclipses on the Virgo/Pisces axis that began in September 2024. In other words, we are at a karmic ending to the chapter of life that began in 2024; and, honestly, long before that.  

Technically, this eclipse is an alignment of the Sun and Mercury opposite the Moon in Pisces. This full Moon affects Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto; all were once part of the basket that has launched the rebirth of humanity. 

What this means is that technology will have to become more compassionate and less predatory towards society. The effects of the basket are that we are embracing new ideas and ways to evolve out of predatory practices and into a world that works for all of us. That’s called community for all. In the mundane world, there will be many endings in our personal lives and in the collective. 

Months ago, in a previous column I suggested the story of Noah’s Ark. The storm has begun and the boat is about to float away from the storm that other’s wish to support. 

Additionally

August 6

Venus moves into Libra August 6 until September 10. Venus loves to be in Libra. This is a good time for establishing relationships of all sorts. Love is love with this transit. We can negotiate and form balanced alliances. Libra is extra magnetic while Gemini and Aquarius can move though life with ease. 

At the same time, the Sun in Leo is trine Saturn in Aries. This prompts productive partnerships and optimistic outlooks for long-term plans. Lay plans that factor realistic data and the term for completion. Jupiter forms the same angle August 31 which is even more supportive for long term plans and closes August on a high note with expansive Jupiter harmoniously angling Saturn. This lays a solid foundation for everyone’s future. Do not take life too hard if negotiations and good relationships break down around August 21. It’s part of the split from what is no longer necessary.
