August 2026 Astrology Forecast: Eclipse Season, New Beginnings + Becoming Your True Self (Stevie Calista) - Episode 244

August has arrived—and according to intuitive astrologer Stevie Calista, this isn't just another month. It's one of the most pivotal energetic periods of the year.

After July's Mercury retrograde invited us to slow down, reflect, and reset, August accelerates the journey with two powerful eclipses, major planetary shifts, and an invitation to shed old identities in favor of something far more authentic.

If you've been feeling like life has been nudging or pushing you toward change, you're not imagining it.

In this episode, Stevie walks us through the astrological themes week by week, explaining what each major transit means, where to focus your energy, and how to navigate the month with greater clarity, trust, and intention.

IN THIS EPISODE WE COVER:

• Why August 2026 eclipse season marks a major turning point filled with endings, beginnings, and soul-level course corrections
• How Saturn in Aries continues challenging us to release old identities and discover who we truly are
• The meaning of Lammas (Lughnasadh) and why early August is the perfect time to celebrate gratitude, abundance, and the harvest in your own life
• How Chiron retrograde invites deep healing while helping you recognize just how far you've already come
• Why Venus entering Libra encourages more balance, beauty, connection, and harmony in your relationships and daily life
• What it means as Mercury finally leaves its retrograde shadow and begins moving into new territory
• How Mercury in Leo inspires creativity, confidence, self-expression, and reconnecting with your inner child
• Why Mars entering Cancer asks us to slow down, nurture ourselves, tend to home and family, and reconnect with our emotional roots
• The significance of the August 12 Solar Eclipse in Leo and how it may close important chapters while opening your heart to a new version of yourself
• Why this eclipse is less about forcing outcomes—and more about trusting where your soul is already leading you
• The caution around Mars square Neptune, and why it's important to avoid making emotionally reactive decisions during the third week of the month
• What Virgo season brings as we transition into healthier routines, organization, productivity, and grounded momentum
• How the Mercury cycle reaches an important midpoint, offering an opportunity to reflect, refine, and adjust projects or ideas that began in July
• The meaning of the August 28 Pisces Lunar Eclipse, and why surrender, intuition, and trusting the unknown become your greatest strengths
• Why 2026 continues to feel like a year of brand-new territory—and how to embrace the uncertainty instead of resisting it

Throughout the conversation, Stevie reminds us that astrology is a powerful tool for understanding the larger cycles unfolding in our lives, helping us work with the energy instead of against it.

If August feels intense, know that you're not alone. This month's astrology is inviting all of us to release what no longer fits, reconnect with our hearts, and step into a more authentic version of ourselves—one choice at a time.

If it felt like it asked you to pause, reflect, or let go of things, you're definitely not alone. Now August is here, and intuitive astrologer Stevie Calista is joining us once again to help us understand the [00:01:00] energy ahead, what to pay attention to, and how to make the most of this next month.

Let's get going. Hi, Stevie. 

Stevie: Hi. How are you? 

Robyn: I am, like, in such a weird place in the sense that July, I know, brought so much, I think, change, or the beginning of change for so many people, and yet it also, I think, brought in my life, like, a much needed, as I said in the intro a pause and a time to reflect, and I would even say reset.

And so I'm excited for August, but I've actually really appreciated- the break, if that's the right way to put it. At least it was in my life. What about you? 

Stevie: Yeah. I think that Mercury retrograding Cancer gave people a long reset. So I think some people took it and ran with it, and just, like, leaned into it, and I think a lot of people struggled through, like, the emotional side of Cancer.

 Especially because I think Cancer season, a lot of [00:02:00] people are around their family, and family can be incredibly nourishing or incredibly triggering, so- 

Robyn: That is a really good point, yes ... I 

Stevie: think it just it depended. And then at the end of the month, Saturn stationed retrograde and kind of kicked us in the ass right after that.

Yes. It, it- 

Robyn: That is true. 

Stevie: Yeah. It's been interesting. 

Robyn: And you and I were talking about this before we started, both in our own lives, and we're getting people reaching out to us. When you talk about that Saturn, it has definitely kicked a lot of people- into some sort of gear. 

And been like, okay, in whatever area that is in your life, it's really illuminating it. 

Stevie: For sure. And I think Saturn in Aries, for the next couple of years is really asking us, like, who the heck are we- 

Robyn: Mm ... 

Stevie: for real, for real. Like, and to embrace our human, and to start new things, and to kind of ask ourselves, like, are these identities and masks we've been [00:03:00] wearing actually ours, or were they given to us by our parents or society, or just the old version of ourselves?

And so I think when you're, in that Aries energy, you're, you have to get real with yourself. 

Robyn: Mm-hmm. 

Stevie: And that's definitely not easy, 'cause it takes all the inner work. You can't go outward to do it. Even if you try to, like, blame, right? You're still gonna be invited, back.

Back to the self. So it's hard. 

Robyn: It is. and, and it's, part of why we're here. 

Stevie: Yeah. I 

Robyn: it's the teacher. 

 So all right. So what do we have coming up? For August, what do we have in this first week? 

Stevie: So August is eclipse season, and we have two eclipses this month, so both the new moon and full moon are lunar and solar eclipses.

So this is definitely a month where you're gonna, you're gonna notice that especially if your chart's really activated, that you're gonna be pushed through these endings and beginnings. So the first week of August we have [00:04:00] On the first or second, people celebrate lammas but it actually the astrological point is on the seventh, which is the halfway point between the solstice and the equinox, when the sun's at 15 degrees of Leo.

So whenever we have these halfway points or solstices and equinox, you guys are probably sick of me talking about them, but they're like where the veil thins, where energy gets louder, so it's historically speaking, it's when we start to really harvest. We start... And the days start to get shorter, but it's still very plentiful.

Things are still, like, very alive and lush. And so it's a good time to celebrate summer, - and celebrate the ending of it, So that would be, any time that first week is a great time to do it. Um- 

Robyn: And how do you spell that? 

Stevie: L-A-M-M-A-S. 

Robyn: Oh, 

Stevie: Yeah. 

Robyn: Okay. 

Stevie: And the biggest theme with llamas is gratitude for the harvest, and gratitude for all that is ripe, and just the plentifulness of nature.

'Cause it is, it is very, before we start to go into, equinox autumn [00:05:00] energy. 

 Saying goodbye kind of, but being very grateful, so 

Robyn: And it's just that reminder to savor. 

Stevie: Yep, definitely. on the 3rd, Chiron will be stationing and going retrograde, which means the first week of August, Chiron's energy's very strong.

When Chiron's energy's strong, usually there is some moments of self-reflection for healing. Sometimes it means we get really upset, or our wounds get very activated or triggered by someone, ourselves, whoever. And also it's a time where we're being invited in to, like, honor how much we've healed and how much we're helping other people through what we've been through.

So that's on the 3rd. On the 6th, Venus goes into Libra, where she's home. Venus in Libra is very social, very stylish. She loves to be around people. She loves to create harmony and balance. So it's a good time to think about where do I need more balance in my life in any aspect, right? [00:06:00] And where can I create more harmony, and beauty and cohesiveness in my life?

So that will be for the three weeks. And then Mercury's out of its shadow on the 6th, so it's out of the cycle that it started in June. 

we went- 

Robyn: Wow ... 

Stevie: forward and then back, and then forward again, and that would be the time where it's in new territory. So even in the first week of August, and the end of July, we were still walking the path we walked earlier- 

And integrating what we were, what's been going on. So that's kind of cool, 'cause that's new territory for Mercury. 

Robyn: Yeah. 

Stevie: And then on the 9th, Mercury goes into Leo, and so it's been in Cancer for quite some time, right, since June. And in Leo, Mercury likes to just take the mic and express, create, party, have fun really connect to the heart.

So that's very really playful. And it's also fire, so it, kind of like it's a good few weeks to really follow your passion- 

and [00:07:00] maybe start something new, or start something creative in your life. Or just have fun, just like a nod back to little you, basically. 

Robyn: And perfect time too s- 'cause you're still in the Northern Hemisphere, we're in the summer and It invites, I feel like, play 

Stevie: Play. 

 Yeah. For sure. And we're still very much in Leo season right now, right? So Leo is all about that inner child, and being playful, and enjoying life, and leisure, and romance, and fun, and creativity, so.

And party, you know? Yeah I always think of party when I think of Leo, like, ooh, time... The fun's here. 

Robyn: Yeah. 

Stevie: Time to have fun. 

Don't take it so seriously. And also, like, with eclipse season, we just had, at the very end of July, we had the node shift right into Aquarius and Leo. 

Robyn: Yes. 

Stevie: That we're in that new 18-month cycle that this eclipse is going to, the first eclipse is going to trigger.

And so Leo, Aquarius in your chart's really activated, those two houses in your chart. And, [00:08:00] you know, you can take a look and see, like where's the first house and seventh house, or wherever it is in your chart, and see what it means. But yeah, we're all kind of trying to figure out our place in society, and how we belong to a greater, bigger group, and how we can help the collective humanity grow into a more heart-centered unity consciousness.

So that's gonna take center stage the next 18 months too, and we're integrating that energy now in August. So yeah. I feel like August is really... 'Cause, you know, we were like, fire horse." Yes. And I think we felt it, but I think, and maybe not, this is just kind of intuitive, I feel like we're really gonna feel it.

Robyn: In August? 

Stevie: In August, September, October, yeah. 

Robyn: Interesting. Yeah. Okay. 

Stevie: Okay, you're gonna get... You need to get on the horse. Oh, you fell off the horse, get back on the horse. Wow. It's going. Yeah. Um- Okay ... it's, just because it's, you know, eclipse season, so it tends to peak energies in general. Right, 

Robyn: right.

Makes things a little bit better. They're more intense. Right, exactly. They're more, it's more intense. 

Stevie: Yeah. 

Robyn: Okay. 

Stevie: Yeah. So that's the first [00:09:00] week. it's kind of a mixed bag basically. the second week we have Mars going into Cancer, and it's been in Gemini for the last six weeks, which is very, like, curious, and collecting information, and social, and reading all the books, and writing all the things.

In Cancer it asks us to slow down and nest, and tend to our hearth, our home, our family, our emotions, and to really take action to nourish ourselves or to feel our feelings. 

So we have six weeks of that. I always feel like Mars in Cancer asks us to tend to our roots. 

So that could be learning about your family history or, painting your walls or, you know- sobbing in the bathroom-

like, while you're taking a shower. I don't know. But there's a lot of, like, nourishing and tending to yourself and your family in August as well, and it will help ground you. We also have on the 12th is the solar eclipse. So this is 20 [00:10:00] degree Leo new moon, so look to see where 20 degrees of Leo is in your chart and you'll see where the eclipse is happening.

 This one is a south node eclipse, meaning it's an ending. 

Robyn: Okay. 

Stevie: So while it's a new moon w- where we plant new seeds, with eclipses I don't highly recommend setting big intentions because your soul's already driving anyway, and it's not pointless, but it's like you just gotta flow with it as much as you can and just pay attention.

But the south node energy of this one definitely speaks to endings or, like, places that maybe you felt kinda stuck. Does that make sense? 

Robyn: Yeah. 

Stevie: And that, definitely will help y- you close closing chapters basically. 

Robyn: Wow. 

Stevie: Closing the chapters. The other thing about this is Mercury and Jupiter are together in Leo, so we have four planets in Leo.

And this is activating the barrel basket that all the astrologers are talking about. And so there are massive shifts that can [00:11:00] happen collectively and in your own personal life around your heart. So this is a very heart-opening also creative in a lot of ways. Like, I wouldn't be surprised if, you, you know, had a lot of creative ideas that you wanted to foster.

there's something about, like, a piece of you in the heart center that needs to be healed with this one. 

Robyn: Wow. and this, basically kicks off on August 12th. The eclipse is something that energy will last for quite some time.

Stevie: Definitely. 

Robyn: But then this other aspect of Mercury and Jupiter and all these planets, that's something that also is at the same date or within a, few days. 

Stevie: Yeah. That, It's in, within a few days basically. Okay. 

And in, at the eclipse they are, Mercury and Jupiter are together and they're- Got it

the thing about this that I find interesting is that the sun is home in Leo. The sun is, Leo ruled, right? Leo is ruled by the sun. So when you have an, the sun being [00:12:00] eclipsed in its home sign, it feels extra potent to me. 

Robyn: Yeah. And I, I mean, I'll tell you just everyone has so many different things going on in their own lives. I'm thinking about, like, when you said to me that there's real endings going on with this eclipse, that's the day that I'm, that I'm leaving Bella at school. 

Stevie: Yeah. 

Robyn: Right? Like, so my daughter's starting her freshman year in college, and she's going quite far away, and that's, so interesting to me.

And then as you said, that there's all this, from a heart-centered place, what's gonna be going on for me in that sense is, like, okay, like, next chapter, it's just very interesting. It's like a whole ... Lots of transformation. And when the astrology can validate some of that- 

it's really so impactful. 

Stevie: For sure. and this eclipse has a harmonious aspect to Saturn and Aries, so it has a lot to do with, like, what we were talking about with the identity in a way that's like- 

Robyn: [00:13:00] Oh, yeah ... 

Stevie: kind of letting in a new identity, or letting you take down a mask, or inviting you to express yourself in a new way.

You know, I always think of Leo has the mic, and it's telling you how it feels, and it's not afraid to be confident and shine and inspire other people. So these are all themes of this eclipse, honestly. 

Robyn: Wow. Um, 

 Yeah. So I'm interested for those listening, like, where this hits in, in your life.

And- Yeah ... can you pinpoint some situations going on? 

Stevie: For sure. and I find, like, a south node eclipse, yes, there's an ending there, but it's also an invitation to a new version of yourself. 

Robyn: Yeah, clearly. 

Stevie: Like, what happens when we end? There's always a new beginning.

Robyn: exactly. Yeah. Exactly.

 Which is what I also, uh, I typically think of with new moons too. 

they, there are that for something- Yeah ... new. 

Stevie: Yeah. 

Robyn: But it's pretty interesting that it's also highlighting something from a south node perspective that's ending.

Stevie: And when we talk about the collective, Or a south node in [00:14:00] Leo, south node in Leo you're gonna see the shadow, and the shadow of Leo would be ego, like, getting in the way, or you thinking you're, like, the only thing that matters, or, "Why is nobody listening to me?" And, and you're not listening to anybody else.

Robyn: Right. 

Stevie: You know? Like- 

Robyn: Yeah ... 

Stevie: it's kind of getting in your own way i- in a, an overconfident... Or even, the shadow of Leo can, can be, like, self-esteem issues, like trying to put on the confident face. You know when you're around those people that are, you can just tell- 

Robyn: Yes, 

Stevie: very much ... that it's a mask that they have to wear to feel okay in their body.

So some of that kind of stuff might come up for us too. 

Robyn: that's a good watch-out. 

Stevie: Yeah. So yeah, that's the second week. 

Robyn: Yep. 

Stevie: And eclipses usually we're we've been feeling these since July, so we're already, some astrologers say six months, some say six weeks, but you're, we're in it, 

Robyn: yes. 

and, and when we say that, like, it's both prior to that exact point- Right ... and then after. 

Stevie: And after, exactly. Yeah. [00:15:00] Before and after. Yeah. 

Robyn: Yeah. 

Stevie: So the third week, the 17th through the 23rd, on the 17th we have Mars squaring Neptune, and I don't usually talk about quote, unquote, "minor aspects", but I find Mars to be very activating for us.

And when we square into Neptune from Cancer into Aries, it's like This is definitely a call to tend to yourself. Take care of yourself. Take action for your home, for your family for your body. With Mars and Neptune, there can sometimes be a little bit of, like delusion. Like, I'm gonna take action for the story that I'm telling myself, and it's not necessarily real.

Do you know what I mean? 

Robyn: Yeah. 

Stevie: So be careful if you... Be careful with your actions is what I will say this week. Just pay attention to how you're noticing you want to take action for yourself or your family or your home, and is it necessarily a grounded [00:16:00] choice? 

or does it feel a little foggy and emotional?

Are you wrapped up in the story? Do you need to ground? Do you need to, like, come back to yourself a little bit? Just, like, take caution is what I'm gonna say. 

Robyn: How long does that energy kinda stick around? 

Stevie: That week. 

Robyn: Okay. That week ... that's good. That's 

Stevie: good And maybe even, like, a few days before- 

and a few days after, like especially. Mars moves a little bit slower than, like, the sun or something, so... and then we have, again, a minor aspect, but for some reason I was intuitively told to write this down. On the 21st, we have Venus in Libra opposite Saturn and Aries, and that's me versus we. Like, how do I take responsibility for myself and how I feel in this relationship?

How do I create harmony and balance for myself while still honoring the other person's desires or heart? And so there's a little bit of a tug, and oppositions aren't necessarily challenge as much as they're, like, a call to find balance, you know? Mm. So this is [00:17:00] about getting real with your boundaries and your desires within relationships.

Robyn: Okay. 

Stevie: So again, a small aspect, only a few days, but for some reason it feels important. 

Robyn: Um- I think that is. And I know- Yeah ... people who listen to this every month, they're gonna come back, and they're gonna listen to this that week,

Stevie: For sure

... 

Stevie: and just, an example too, last, in July, I remember Mercury was squaring Saturn, and so many people were messaging me like, "What the hell?" 

Robyn: Yes.

Yes. 

Stevie: Which is a minor aspect. 

But man, was it loud for people. Yeah. It just... Sometimes they are. 

And they don't last long, but sometimes they're very potent,

Robyn: Yeah. And it's like that if you know it, and you can sit with that- 

look at it, really be aware, but then let it go for a week, you're gonna feel different- Yeah

a week later. Yeah. 

Stevie: Yeah. Thank goodness, like, all these energies are temporary. 

Robyn: Agree. 

Stevie: Although some of them are awesome, and you're like, "This feels so good." 

Robyn: That's true. 

Stevie: And then two days later you're like, "Ugh, it's gone." 

Robyn: I know. [00:18:00] So true. 

Stevie: And the last thing that I have that week is the 22nd is when the sun moves into Virgo, and we w- welcome Virgo season.

And Virgo's an earth sign that is like an e- computer Excel spreadsheet. It really likes to have a plan and control. It's always trying to make things better or more efficient. So as we welcome in Virgo season, a lot of people are g- this is, like, back to school energy- Yeah ... back to routines, which is so perfect, honestly because we all start to really crave it at that time.

Robyn: Yes, I know, even though, because we're still at the top of August, I'm like not ready for that yet, but- 

Stevie: Nope ... 

Robyn: I know we will be. 

Stevie: Yeah. You'll, we'll get into it and be like, "Oh. Oh yeah, I'm ready." 

Robyn: Yes. 

Stevie: So yeah. That's the 17th through the 23rd. They're kind of minor aspects in general, but we're still very much in eclipse energy, so there's still massive endings and beginnings happening to everyone during this period of time.

And that doesn't mean you lose your job, it could just mean you're being invited into to take a look at emotion or a past or s- it could mean- 

Robyn: Yeah,

Stevie: ... it doesn't mean, like, [00:19:00] massive life change. I don't wanna make anybody freaked out, '

Robyn: I'm glad you brought that up.

Stevie: Yeah. Yeah I think fear-mongering is real in the astrology community- ... so we have 

Robyn: to be 

Stevie: careful. 

Robyn: That's true. Yeah, no. it could be something much, much smaller. Right. But even an awareness within yourself- 

Stevie: Right. 

Robyn: that you're just like, "Oh, I'm, I'm done.

I'm done with that." 

Stevie: Yes. Yeah. And usually when we're talking about eclipse season, what I mean when a soul, the soul takes the wheel, is that you'll notice that you cannot do X, Y, Z anymore. You just can't. You can't. Yeah. You can no longer do the thing that you know... Your soul's just like, "Hello."

"Remember?" You know? And you can't help it. You can't. 

Robyn: So true. 

Stevie: Yeah. Like- Yeah ... what are you doing? You hate this. Why do you keep doing this? 

Robyn: And you'll, you usually that, like, will show up in your inner voice. 

Stevie: Yeah. 

Robyn: And sometimes, like, you physically can feel it. 

Stevie: Yeah. And I wanna say, too, that does not mean that you have a whole bunch of clarity as what is next.

Mm-hmm. Because I feel like this year is inviting us into a [00:20:00] space of being more present and not necessarily knowing what's gonna happen. Even though you know that you don't wanna do this thing anymore, doesn't necessarily mean that you know exactly what the next thing is. 'Cause that, I have a lot of clients struggling with that right now.

What is the thing?" I'm like, "It's not supposed to be quite clear yet, because you're clearing, or you're ending, You know what I mean? It's- 

Robyn: I do. 

Stevie: It's so frustrating, though, for people, and myself included. Like- Me 

Robyn: too. Ugh. Me, I, yes. We, w- listen, we do what we do because- Yeah

we're looking for - 

Stevie: Right ... 

Robyn: guidance, and like, tell us- 

Stevie: Right ... 

Robyn: what, tell us what's the next thing, you know? 

Stevie: Yes. 

Robyn: but I, what I think you and I have learned over all of these years is to have unconditional faith. 

Stevie: Yeah. 

Robyn: somehow It does work out. Yeah Or the answers come. It's just not always on the timeline that we want it to be.

Yeah. But it's on the timeline that our soul needs it to be. 

Stevie: Yeah, we don't even know what it is sometimes. 

Robyn: No. Yeah. We can't even imagine. 

A- [00:21:00] and yet, listen for all of, of you that are similar to Stevie and I are like, come on. L- like, we want, we wanna know, we wanna prepare, we wanna get there.

Stevie: Yeah. What is it? What 

Robyn: do 

Stevie: we need to do? All the things. Yeah. What do we need to do? Yeah. 

Robyn: Totally. 

Stevie: So the last week is Mercury goes into Virgo, so now it's out of, it's out of Leo's mic, you know, and it's expressing itself and being the life of the party, and now Mercury and Virgo is, is actually the computer Excel spreadsheet.

Okay. If you have Mercury and Virgo, your brain functions like a computer Excel spreadsheet, and everybody starts to get very detailed and productive, and you're gonna notice the gyms are gonna be more packed, and, like, everyone's we gotta do the things. Let's get things done." So this part of this last week of August into September is a really good time to focus on your, like, what are your routines?

What are your habits? Do you need to check your accounting books? Like, detailed type stuff, when Mercury's in an Earth sign, especially Virgo, it's just, it just flows so much [00:22:00] easier. 

Robyn: Oof. That's good to know. So 

Stevie: catch up on your accounting. That's what I always do. I- Do it. Go me. 

Robyn: I mean, I feel like I'm gonna, like, literally put that in my calendar.

Stevie: Yes. Time, time for the books. essentially your mind is grounded enough to really, like, check some stuff off. 

Robyn: Mm ... 

Stevie: especially for those ADH people out there that have fire and earth minds, Mercurys, like, it's a really good opportunity to be able to focus more,

So that's on the 25th, and then on the 27th, the sun and Mercury meet up, which is the full moon of Mercury cycle, which started on July 12th.

So- Oh, 

Robyn: wow. Okay ... 

Stevie: whatever, if... and I think we spoke about this in July, but whatever you kind of started around the July 12th, 13th, maybe you didn't intentionally say, "I'm gonna start this project," but just going back to that week, was there anything that you kind of planted a new, a new seed of Mercury, which is more intellectually based, communication- Mm-hmm

writing, reading, [00:23:00] learning, et cetera. This is kind of a time where you can look back and be like, "Okay, there's, there's a, an illumination on that." This is the halfway point of that cycle, and so is there something about it that you need to take a look at, or maybe this is where you pivot a little bit or change some things, or just notice you're halfway.

Does that make sense? 

Robyn: Yeah, that's cool. 

Stevie: I love that. And it's in Virgo. Yeah So it's very detailed. 

Robyn: it goes along with every- right 

Stevie: Yeah. 

Robyn: you can look at it, and then you can make an adjustment if 

Stevie: need- Yes ... 

Make it more efficient. Yes Make it better. Yeah, And then the last thing that I have, and one of the most important, is on the 28th is the full moon at four degrees of Pisces lunar eclipse.

 This one is visible in the United States, and the, solar eclipse on the 12th is visible on the East Coast. 

Robyn: Oh, it is? 

Stevie: Yeah. 

Robyn: Oh, cool. 

Stevie: That's according to my, nerd book, that's what it says.

this one does say it's visible in the [00:24:00] United States, so I'm not sure where, but I'm sure there's a map we can Google or maybe attach to the newsletter 

Robyn: so we can- Yeah, yeah, we can do that. 

Stevie: so this one is four degrees of Pisces, and this is speaking to where the nodes were before in Virgo and Pisces.

Okay? So it's still speaking to where they used to be. So this, to me, feels very much like an invitation to surrender. Pisces energy is, is very dreamy and floaty. It's very intuitive. It's very creative. It's the floater, It's the musician, it's the dancer. It's flow state, really like, channeling divine source of, creativity.

So when you have the sun in Virgo and the moon in Pisces, and they're being eclipsed, there's something about a way that you are trying to control something that you need to not. So stop it. Stop it. Start surrendering, start trusting, start connecting to something greater than yourself. This is a really good time to take some [00:25:00] solitude and just be in your energy body as much as possible.

And it's squaring Uranus. 

Robyn: Oof. 

Stevie: So when you-

So they're all mutable signs, and in mutable in astrology is movable, so it's not like we hit like a fixed wall, and we're like, "Ugh." It's more like, "Oh, you need to pivot." Like something needs to change here. So the square to Uranus and Gemini says there's a new perspective. You need to change something. You need to look at something very differently, or you need to open your mind to a new way of thinking.

So pay attention to like those little light bulb moments, or if you start noticing that you- you're in that prison trap. You know what I'm saying? Where you're do I feel like I'm being strangled or like I'm trapped or... And I feel like I can't get out." This is the type of eclipse that's gonna be like, "The door is open.

Like, what are you doing?" Yeah. 

Robyn: Wow. 

Stevie: You're, you're forcing something that's not necessarily- Needing to be forced. If you just surrender, the door just like [00:26:00] swings open and then you pivot. But yeah, squares to Uranus and eclipses can definitely signal change, Collectively especially, 'cause this, This, eclipses tend to be, like we see them on the world stage as much as we see them in our own lives.

Robyn: Yes. Yes. And as you brought up, like that fire horse energy, like it's gonna help us move in potentially a different direction- Yes ... if that's needed, and it's gonna show or at least illuminate that next part of the path for us. 

Stevie: Exactly.

Especially 'cause it is a full moon, but there is an eclipse. And so with eclipses, because our luminary bodies are being blocked- Mm ... there's a moment of shadow, there's a moment of like, "Did you not notice that?" And then the lights go off, you notice. 

Robyn: Wow. Right? 

Stevie: That's cool. So like something you didn't notice usually with eclipses starts to f- to form.

And this one's a north node eclipse, meaning that there's an invitation- 

 into something new, into a new chapter. But you gotta like shift something or change something or untrap yourself [00:27:00] by not trying to control it so much,

Robyn: wow. 

Stevie: So we'll see what that one brings.

Robyn: So curious what that's- Yes ... gonna be, both collectively and for each of us. 

Stevie: 100%, yeah. Yeah. And that's, that's four degrees of Pisces again, guys, so go look to see where four degrees of Pisces or Virgo or Uranus is in your chart, and you'll get a a visual or some information about where this is showing up for you.

Robyn: That's really helpful. And can you explain to people when something's towards the beginning degrees of that sign, what does that mean versus at the end? 

Stevie: Yeah. So that's, uh, this is so interesting you're asking this, Robyn, 'cause I, I was like, I need to make a video all about this, 'cause all this information came in when I was in the shower the other day.

Oh. It's so funny. That's so funny. Um, so like, you know, Neptune is at the very beginning degrees of Aries, and when you're in the very beginning stages of something, it's new and you're kind of exploring. So [00:28:00] Uranus is at the beginning stages of Gemini in this eclipse, and so there's like, this is where we're like oh, oh, like I'm not, I didn't realize all these things.

And once you get into the middle, you're like, you're starting to get momentum. When you get to the end, you're starting to close it up and kind of integrate a lot. So the beginning, we're in a lot of beginning energies in a lot of different signs for a lot of different planets this year. That's also why it's the fire horse.

A lot of the territory's like, whoa, what? What? And we're integrating that. We're getting used to it, but it's definitely, you notice like it's a lot of exploring. It's a lot of getting used to the energy itself. 

Robyn: That's why, yeah, it feels like there's a lot of- This newness, like this- Yeah

oh, as you said. 

Stevie: Yeah. Like, the curtain gets pulled and you're like- 

Robyn: Yeah ... "

Stevie: I didn't kn- I didn't see that before." 

Robyn: Totally. And you're 

Stevie: like, "Oh." And you're not quite sure what that means. Right. This is what I'm talking about with not having full clarity about, like, who you are. You know you're not that [00:29:00] anymore.

Robyn: That's true. 

Stevie: And now, now you're, now you have this, and you're like, "What is this?" So I hope that explains it. 

Robyn: It does. Okay. It does, and I think the more that we, these little things that come up clarify for people, like, why it, that's important. Like, why- Right ... understanding that. And I love the, an invitation for people to go check out.

where is it for you? Where is four degrees Pisces for you, when it comes to this full moon? 

 Understanding that, and you know, those are relatively easy to find if you know your birth chart. 

but that's also a good reason to reach out to Stevie- For sure.

Yeah, if you want to- ... and get a birth chart reading if you've never had one. Right. Because I think what Stevie does that's so different than if... Number one, most of us can't just look at a birth chart and understand what it means. It looks really cool, and ev- each one of us has such a unique chart.

Yeah. And what you need is someone like Stevie to go through it with you. and what makes Stevie so unique, in my opinion is that she brings [00:30:00] in her own intuitive insights into everything that she's giving you in terms of the information that's important to you.

And the way, Stevie, that you do these, it's like you are channeling to a degree, I, I would say what we most need to hear. Mm. So there's so much information, and you're gonna give someone, like, that blueprint of who they are, why they're here. But then what do they need to know now?

What's important? What does their soul need to hear? And you are such a clear channel of that- Thank you ... I believe. I appreciate it. Um, and really most people who are listening I'm sure have worked with you in some way. And those who are coming to you for the first time, Stevie is just such an unbelievable source and guide in all of our lives.

Um- Thank you ... I just need to say that. You're so 

Stevie: sweet. You're so sweet. 

Robyn: It's true. I always say this, and so for those who've heard it, just ignore me. but I will never [00:31:00] forget when my husband had his first reading with Stevie. And he walked out of the room that he had done this reading, and he looked at me and he's "I think Stevie knows me better than you do."

And I was like, "Wait, what? What do you mean?" And you said things to Jeff that he was like, "I've never said that to anybody." It was something that was in... You know, things that were in his mind that he's always felt about himself.

Stevie: Yeah. 

Robyn: And you had the... And I always say this, too. there are certain words that you say that are just perfect, explain a feeling, an idea, whatever it is. It just... And again, that's to me 'cause you are f- it's flowing through you for what our soul needs to hear. Yeah. And then you're able to use that chart as your guide for someone.

Thank you.

Stevie: It's so fun, you guys. This is, like, what lights my soul up to do that. So I very much enjoy it. And if you have, a 20-degree [00:32:00] Leo or a four-degree Pisces planet or placement, it... This will be louder for you. So if you do want some guidance or support, It is my favorite thing to do is, like, guide people, help people. 

Robyn: I know. Yeah. I mean, listen. as I said, I'm dropping my daughter off at school, which is big, it's a big step for all of us her really starting new path. And I'm having her talk to Stevie right before she goes.

Yeah. I'm like- I can't wait. I can't wait. So,

Stevie: Well, I can load up her backpack with all kinds of, empowering... 

Robyn: Exactly. Yeah. And that's what it is. It, it's empowering. Yeah. So everyone needs to go to steviecalista.com, check out all of your offerings. Thank you. Go to Substack, subscribe to you on Substack.

a very different energetic month than July. 

Stevie: Yeah. For 

Robyn: sure. Even though July had a lot of stuff. [00:33:00] It was like the beginning of- Yeah ... change. But this, to me, it's action-oriented.
