A Fall From Grace Is Coming: Total Solar Eclipse in Leo—Forecast for ALL 12 SIGNS
Astrology with Heather: The Cosmic Wellness PodcastShow Notes
We are heading into a major karmic reset. On August 12, 2026, a total solar eclipse lands at 20 degrees of Leo — the first eclipse to fully enter Leo in this cycle, and the entry point into the next 18 months of fated transitions. In this forecast, professional astrologer and educator Heather Eland breaks down exactly what this eclipse means, why it will feel humbling for so many of us, and how it's landing in your chart — with a complete forecast for all 12 signs. Solar eclipses are always new moons, which makes this a true cosmic reset: endings and beginnings arriving at the same moment. But because the South Node is now transiting Leo, this reset works differently than the Leo eclipses of 2017 and 2018. Where that period pulled many of us intensely in one direction, this one brings us back into balance. It asks us to let go — of old cycles, old karma, and especially of any recognition we've been chasing for its own sake. That's the heart of this eclipse. It reveals where we've been seeking attention simply to feel special, and invites us instead to share our real talents and gifts generously — connecting what we're known for to something larger than ourselves. For some prominent figures, this may look like a fall from grace. For the rest of us, it looks like getting honest about why we want to be seen at all. Expect signs, synchronicities, and strange coincidences that don't feel like coincidences. With a South Node eclipse, logic and planning take a back seat, and instinct and intuition take the reins.

What does the birth chart show us about digestion, food sensitivities, IBS and the gut? In this medical astrology tutorial, we’re breaking down the digestive system from top to bottom and looking at the planets, zodiac signs and chart patterns traditionally associated with different parts of digestion. In this video, you’ll learn about medical astrology correspondences involving: • Taurus and the mouth, throat and beginning of digestion • Cancer, the Moon and the stomach • The Moon’s connection with food, appetite and digestive sensitivity • Virgo and the intestines, digestion and absorption • The enteric nervous system or “gut brain” • Libra, Virgo and the pancreas • Capricorn, Saturn and the gallbladder • Scorpio, Pluto and the large intestine/colon • Ceres and food sensitivities • Neptune and sensitivity • Common medical astrology patterns I look at when exploring IBS and digestive complaints Then we’ll put the pieces together using Cher’s birth chart as an example. Cher has publicly discussed IBS and food sensitivities, which gives us an interesting opportunity to examine several patterns traditionally associated with digestive sensitivity in medical astrology, including Cancer/Moon symbolism, Ceres and Neptune. The purpose here is NOT to find one placement that “causes” an illness. Medical astrology works much more holistically than that. Multiple chart factors can converge, and the same placement can manifest very differently from one person to another. ⚕️ Want to go deeper into medical astrology? Inside Medical Astrology Foundations, we go far beyond memorizing planetary and zodiac correspondences. You’ll learn how to integrate planets, signs, houses, aspects, elemental balance, house rulerships and specific health-related patterns so you can understand how the pieces of a chart work together.

October 2026 astrology is intense from the start. In this October 2026 astrology forecast, we're breaking down Venus retrograde in Scorpio, Mars opposite Pluto, Venus square Mars and Pluto, the Libra New Moon, Pluto stationing direct, the Venus cazimi, Mercury retrograde in Scorpio, and the Taurus Full Moon — plus which zodiac signs are impacted the most by each transit.
Venus Retrograde 2026 begins October 3rd and continues through November 13th, moving from intense Scorpio back into Venus-ruled Libra. And if your relationships have already felt a little strange, revealing, or unusually intense, you may already be experiencing the Venus retrograde shadow.
What does your rising sign actually say about your physical appearance, body, and overall constitution? Your Ascendant is about much more than the “mask you wear.” In traditional and medical astrology, the Ascendant and 1st house represent YOU: your physical incarnation, your body, your health and vitality, and the way you physically interface with the world around you. In this video, I'm breaking down the physical appearance and body correspondences of ALL 12 rising signs:
September 2026 astrology may look quiet at first glance. It isn’t. In this September 2026 Astrology Forecast, we’re looking at an unusual month where several of the traditional planets are struggling to function at their best. Mars and Saturn begin September in the signs of their fall. Venus enters Scorpio, the sign of her detriment, while already slowing down in her retrograde shadow. Then the Sun enters Libra at the Autumn Equinox, placing four of the traditional seven planets in either fall or detriment at the same time. That sounds heavy because, honestly, it is. But September is also considerably less turbulent than the eclipse season we’ve just moved through. This is an in-between month. We’re coming back into balance after the August eclipses, reorganizing around whatever changed, and carrying those developments forward. At the same time, Venus is beginning her first pass through the territory she’ll revisit during her October–November retrograde. So pay attention to what starts coming up around relationships, pleasure, money, material values, self-worth and what you truly value. Some of these stories are only beginning. 🌙 IN THIS SEPTEMBER 2026 FORECAST: • September 1: Mars in Cancer square Saturn in Aries • September 10: Venus enters Scorpio • September 10: Mercury enters Libra • September 10: Uranus stations retrograde in Gemini • September 10: New Moon in Virgo • September 15: Venus square Pluto, the first of three passes • September 15: Neptune sextile Pluto • September 17: Chiron returns to Aries • September 22: Autumn/Spring Equinox + Sun enters Libra • September 26: Full Moon in Aries conjunct Neptune • September 27: Mars finally leaves its fall in Cancer and enters Leo • September 30: Mercury enters Scorpio • PLUS: a preview of the October–November 2026 Venus retrograde I’ll also tell you which Sun, Moon and Rising signs will be affected most by each major transit so you can understand how these energies may show up in your own chart. ✨ FREE ASTROLOGY 101 QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE: https://www.astrologywithheather.com/astrology-101-pdf-guide Use it alongside this forecast to identify your Sun, Moon, Rising and personal planetary placements so you know exactly which parts of the forecast apply most strongly to you. 🌿 CELESTIAL VITALITY — 50% OFF FOR SEPTEMBER In honor of the Virgo New Moon, Celestial Vitality is 50% off throughout September.
