# August 2027 ## Moon Phases - **August 1, 10:05 UTC** — Dark Moon - **August 2, 10:07 UTC** — Total Solar Eclipse - **August 8, 04:56 UTC** — The Waxing Moon begins - **August 17, 07:29 UTC** — Full Moon of Leo - **August 17, 07:14 UTC** — Penumbral Lunar Eclipse - **August 24, 02:28 UTC** — The Waning Moon begins - **August 30, 17:42 UTC** — Dark Moon - **August 31, 17:42 UTC** — The New Moon begins ## Planets and Sun - **August 2, 10:53 UTC** — Mercury enters Leo - **August 16, 04:44 UTC** — Mercury enters Virgo - **August 20, 19:42 UTC** — Venus enters Virgo - **August 23, 08:14 UTC** — The Sun enters Virgo ## Eclipses - **August 2, 10:07 UTC** — Total Solar Eclipse: At the global maximum of the eclipse, Mercury is still in Cancer. From 5:53 a.m., with its entry into Leo, the Sun, the Moon, Mercury and Venus will form a stellium in this fire sign. A stellium is a gathering of four or more positions in the same sign. These four planets will be in opposition to Pluto in Aquarius and in a favorable aspect with Neptune in Aries, generating an axis of tension between the sense of transcendence of Aquarius and the need for brilliance and recognition of Leo. This eclipse will touch our sense of importance, leading us to choose between the persona we have created or the real light that dwells within us. It will be a process of cleansing and profound transformation. Pluto will confront the ego, forcing it to examine where its real power lies: in its momentary circumstances or in the Light that dwells within it. If we turn our gaze toward Neptune, which connects us with the Innermost, the Divinity, the Higher Self, that Light will manifest. The eclipse is an interrupted energy. During the 24 hours before the eclipse, while it lasts, and up to 24 hours after the eclipse has passed, the energy is stagnant. Once those 24 hours after the eclipse have passed, the energy starts up renewed. We should not begin any important project in the indicated period. Eclipse means to hide, so whatever we begin in those moments will remain hidden. If we know how to use it, it helps us leave difficult situations behind and, once the eclipse has passed, open ourselves to change and to what is new, taking advantage of its influence. A solar eclipse occurs at the beginning of the New Moon when the Moon aligns between the Sun and the Earth. In this way we can sometimes see from Earth how the Moon hides the Sun completely or partially. A solar eclipse is total when the Moon completely hides the Sun. Pluto adverse Sun/Mercury/VenusFavorable aspect involving Neptune adverse Mars Pluto/Uranus/Mars Neptune favorable Pluto favorable Neptune Sun/Mercury/Venus Uranus favorable Neptune - **August 17, 07:14 UTC** — Penumbral Lunar Eclipse: The lunar eclipse occurs on the day of the full Moon, when the Sun and the Moon are in opposite signs, generating an axis of tension. In this case, the Sun, Mercury and Venus will be in opposition to the Moon. Sun in Leo and Moon in Aquarius: a tension between the sense of personal importance of the Sun and Venus in Leo and the Moon in Aquarius, which represents a search for transcendence, for going beyond the personal toward the universal. Lunar eclipses act more on the subconscious, those personal stories we keep silent, but which visit us through dreams or everyday ghosts. They confront our personal circumstances, making us believe that our worth lies there. The favorable aspect of Uranus/Pluto present during the eclipse allows us to direct our gaze toward new ways of seeing the world, to step out of the little box in which the mind keeps us enclosed, so that we can open ourselves to writing our story from a new perspective. The eclipse is an interrupted energy. During the 24 hours before the eclipse, while it lasts and once it ends, the energy is stagnant. Twenty-four hours later, the energy starts up renewed. If we know how to use it, it helps us leave difficult situations behind and, once the eclipse has passed, open ourselves to change and to what is new, taking advantage of its influence. For a lunar eclipse to occur, total or partial, the three celestial bodies, Sun, Earth and Moon, must be in a straight line or very close to that position and, therefore, the Moon must be in opposition (full Moon), and enter totally or partially into the Earth’s shadow. A lunar eclipse is penumbral (when the Moon only enters the Earth’s penumbra). ## Stellium - **August 23** — Stellium: Stellium: a gathering of four or more positions in the same sign. This aspect increases the influence of the characteristics of that sign in the atmosphere. In this case the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter are in the sign of Virgo, bringing an energy of meticulousness and perfectionism, selecting what is useful and what is not, giving us a practical sense, but also wanting to control everything, which makes us go slowly before taking a step forward. ## Days for Home and Moving - **August 3** — New Moon in Cancer: Favors matters of family, home and moving. - **August 26** — Waning Moon in Cancer: In Cancer, linked to home matters, moving, children and everything that requires nurturing or support. - **August 27** — Waning Moon in Cancer: In Cancer, linked to home matters, moving, children and everything that requires nurturing or support. - **August 28** — Waning Moon in Cancer: In Cancer, linked to home matters, moving, children and everything that requires nurturing or support. ## Days for the Garden and Plants - **August 24** — Full Moon in Taurus: Today is an excellent day to work in the garden, prune the plants and deworm the pets. ## Days to Buy and Sell - **August 5** — New Moon in Libra: A good day to go shopping or refresh the wardrobe, to appreciate the beauty present in every element of our lives. - **August 6** — New Moon in Libra: A good day to go shopping or refresh your wardrobe. - **August 16** — Mercury enters Virgo: A good time for handling papers or documents, or for salespeople and communicators; also for learning, since it leads us to find exactly what we want to know and how to apply it. - **August 24** — Full Moon in Gemini: Better to sell than to buy, because when we buy we can be careless due to the adverse Uranus/Mercury/Venus/Jupiter aspect. ## Days to Meditate and Perform Rituals - **August 22** — Full Moon in Aries: An auspicious Moon for visualizations and for performing rituals of prosperity in all areas. ## Love and Partnership - **August 5** — New Moon in Libra: It is not a good time to make emotional decisions or to clarify matters of the partnership. - **August 20** — Venus enters Virgo: We must be mindful of a critical tendency toward our partner and of being not very expressive in affection. ## Signing documents and contracts - **August 12** — Waxing Moon in Sagittarius: In court cases, however, because of the adverse aspect between Neptune and Mercury, it is important to be very attentive and read between the lines of any document we have to sign, since there is a tendency not to see what is obvious, overlooking details that could later cause difficulties. - **August 16** — Mercury enters Virgo: A good time for handling papers or documents, or for salespeople and communicators; also for learning, since it leads us to find exactly what we want to know and how to apply it. ## Planetary Aspects - **from April 27 to August 1** — Pluto favorable Neptune - **from June 16 to August 1** — Uranus favorable Neptune - **from July 19 to August 1** — Pluto/Uranus/Mars in favorable aspect - **August 1** — Neptune favorable Sun/Mercury/Venus - **from August 3 to August 5** — Neptune favorable Sun/Mercury/Venus - **from August 3 to August 5** — Pluto/Uranus/Mars in favorable aspect - **from August 3 to August 7** — Uranus favorable Neptune - **from August 3 to December 31** — Pluto favorable Neptune - **August 6** — Neptune favorable Mercury/Venus - **from August 6 to August 10** — Uranus favorable Mars - **from August 6 to September 5** — Pluto favorable Uranus - **August 7** — Neptune favorable Mercury - **from July 24 to August 1** — Neptune adverse Mars - **August 1** — Pluto adverse Sun/Mercury/Venus - **from August 3 to August 4** — Pluto adverse Sun/Mercury/Venus - **from August 3 to August 6** — Neptune adverse Mars - **from August 5 to August 6** — Pluto adverse Mercury/Venus - **August 7** — Pluto adverse Mercury - **from August 8 to August 17** — Uranus adverse Jupiter - **from August 18 to August 22** — Uranus adverse Mercury/Jupiter - **from August 23 to August 25** — Uranus adverse Mercury/Venus/Jupiter - **from August 26 to September 2** — Uranus adverse Sun/Venus/Jupiter - **from August 30 to September 19** — Pluto adverse Mars ## Lucky colours of the month - white: 6 days - violet: 4 days - green: 4 days - yellow: 3 days - orange: 3 days - blue: 3 days - pink: 3 days - red: 2 days - brown: 2 days - gray: 1 day --- Lunar and Astrological Calendar 2027, 16th edition.
