Astrological forecast: New Moon 12th August 2026 + Solar Eclipse Switch off the light, then turn it on again !
The 2nd solar eclipse of 2026 occurs on Wed 12th August 2026, when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, completely or partially obscuring the image of the Sun for an observer on Earth. This is a special moment when the apparent diameter of the Moon is larger than that of the Sun, blocking all direct sunlight, turning the day into darkness. The totality lies in a narrow path across the Earth’s surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over an area surrounding thousands of miles wide.
- Visibility:
It will cross northern sections of the globe, including parts of Greenland and Iceland and then down into Spain.
- Let’s discover the subtleties of the chart:
Leo is the sign of light, the one who lives so that it can be admired, to express what he thinks and feels. Sometimes, even before taking the time to feel it for him. This very special New Moon is therefore an opportunity to turn off the light of the spotlights in order to try to understand what we are experiencing, from the inside.
The moon (in exile) in Leo will discretely enlightens fields like creativity, generosity, special acquaintances, art works, jokes and a hidden sense of humour.
- Spot on the Jupiterian influence:
Jupiter acts as a scout planet*, showing a direct and clear expression of light that mitigates the egoistic tendencies of the Sun. This placement is associated with freedom, expansion, growth, prosperity, and a strong need for justice, explorationand the discovery of new (inner) territories.

- Spot on Mars & Ceres:
The conjunction of Mars and Ceres creates a powerful fusion of nurturing and assertiveness, blending the asteroid’s care with the planet’s drive and aggression. The couple is entering the lunar sign of Cancer, in which Mars is in exile, bringing more flexibility in acting (and not reacting), protection of home and family.
- Spot on the Retrograde planets:
*Pluto R Aquarius = during this period (6th May-15th October 2026), Pluto shifts focus from external transformation to internal excavation, prompting deep introspection, the reevaluation of power dynamics, and the healing of subconscious patterns.
* Neptune R Aries = (7th July-12 December 2026), this transit invites us to question deep motivations and align ideals with reality.
* Saturn R Aries = (26th July-10 December 2026),this transit shifts energy from external progress to internal reflection, encouraging individuals to review discipline, boundaries, and long-term goals rather than initiating new ventures.
* Chiron R Taurus = (3rd August-17 September 2026), this transit nicknamed the "wounded healer", invites deep introspection and call to transform inner pains into wisdom and lasting strength.
- Spot on the triangle of air:
As there are planets in the 3 air signs (Venus/Libra, Pluto/Aquarius, Uranus/Gemini) there’s a dynamic on mental structures, thinking and planning, intellectual curiosity, detachment and vision with altitude, social engagement and creative projects.
The parallel with the 1999 eclipse is tempting!
Can We find common points between the 11th August 1999 NM and the 12 August 2026 NM. The solar eclipse first!
* 2026: Solar eclipse with the South node, request to sweep the room outside his door, to do a kind of check-up of his past if he doesn’t undertake regressive hypnosis on a planetary scale.Apart from the semi-square between Venus in Libra and the New Moon/eclipse, there is no direct tension as we might have felt in 1999. This NM might be an echo of the Karmas cleansing that bounces in 3 cycles of 9 years. 4 retrograde planets = Pluto, Neptune, Chiron and Saturn.
* 1999: Solar eclipse with the North Node. There was a large square between the New Moon/Leo, Mars/Scorpio, retro Uranus/Aquarius, and Saturn/Taurus causing the clash of opposites, a paradox between dissimilar energies, with Venus R to the square and Pluto R accentuating its emotionality.4 retrogrades planets = Venus, Pluto, Neptune and Uranus.
Do not forget the complimentary ticket!
As the Chinese NY of the Fire Horse started on 17th February 2026, there was a solar eclipse in the opposite sign = Aquarius. Link: the show must go on. https://www.essencediaries.com/post/astrological-forecast-new-moon-in-aquarius- 17th-february-2026-solar-eclipse-chinese-new-year-of
The year of the Horse, marks a change in energy. After introspection, comes movement. The horsebrings momentum, freedom, self-expression andthe desire to move forward with courage. It is ayear to follow one’s heart, dare to take theirplace, put into action what has been understoodand integrated before. Where the Snake prepared and transformed, the Horse propels and invites to live fully his life!
