The Pisces Lunar Eclipse on August 28 is the last eclipse in this water sign until 2044. If you've been hoping for more change and opportunity, get prepared. "This marks the end of a two-year eclipse cycle of releasing what has been draining your energy," astrologer Helena Hathor explained. "This eclipse is here to set you free."

It's time to upgrade your social circle, Leo. There are people in your life who are dragging you down, and you won't be emotionally free until you let them go. Fortunately, the Pisces Lunar Eclipse will help you with this.
By the end of August, "you will cut off energy vampires," Hathor said. People who drain your spirit, or your wallet, have no place in your life going forward. Distancing yourself from those who suck you dry feels like quite the relief.
This change also allows you to start making more money. This eclipse is opening doors for you. It's guiding you in a better direction, so don't be shocked if you find ways to earn money and gain more financial independence.
2. Virgo

A karmic cycle is coming to a close, and really, it's about time. You haven't had the best luck in love, Virgo. You've experienced more than your fair share of betrayals and heartbreak, so much so that you've almost given up on love altogether. But that changes by the end of August with the Lunar Eclipse in Pisces.
Now that you know your worth, you refuse to accept toxic and one-sided connections. "You're attracting healthier, more aligned partnerships," Hathor said. "Love, friendships, and business connections are about to look very different."
Through this eclipse season, you've grown as a person, and as such, you have higher standards for who you allow into your life. Good for you! This is how you free yourself emotionally and find a love that lasts.
3. Pisces

The Lunar Eclipse in your sign on August 28 marks the start of a new chapter, Pisces. An eclipse won't fall in your sign again for almost two decades, so it's important to make the most of this powerful energy while it's here.
Before the end of August, you're saying goodbye to outdated versions of yourself and "people who no longer align with your future," Hathor explained. You're done with the self-sacrifice and people-pleasing. It's not working for you now, and really, it never has.
As they say, when one door closes, another one opens. This eclipse isn't just bringing endings, but some new beginnings too. According to the astrologer, this energy marks the start of you having "stronger boundaries, greater self-worth, [and] a relationship that reflects the person you’ve become." You may need to cut some people off, but that is how you free yourself and make room for those who are more aligned.
