Eclipse season peaks with the Full Moon in Pisces on August 28, 2026.

This is going to be a lunar event which will stir up your emotional depths and make you realise the ways in which you have been shrinking, diminishing or suppressing yourself and your needs.

Compromise and sacrifice are part of life, a part of all roles and relationships to some degree, but they are not the default, the ‘new normal’, and you can’t sustain prolonged self-sacrifice, with no reward, for long.

It’s time to see clearly where you have settled for far less than you desire or deserve. And, once seen, you cannot un-see it.

Now it’s time to speak up and do something about it. Let the tarot cards guide you to what you need to stop settling for.

Tarot card for Aries for the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Pisces: Eight of Cups

Meaning: The Eight of Cups tells you to stop settling for a disappointing result from something you started for way better reasons and with high hopes. It’s not working. So, admit defeat, Aries, and release yourself from this pretence and draining, pointless charade.

No one will care, or even notice, you’ve quietly dropped it and moved on. But the difference to your life and heartspace will be immediate: relief and liberation. And, even better, within eight days of stopping your efforts, a new opportunity that way exceeds this dead duck will emerge. It just needed space to unfurl.

Tarot card for Taurus for the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Pisces: Knight of Cups

Meaning: The Knight of Cups tells you to stop settling for a romance or friendship dynamic that is all one-way (and not in the right direction, either). You have given, forgiven, compromised, carried the social energy battery, and basically kept on pouring effort and energy into this bond even when very little came back.

Why give more when what you’ve given hasn’t been appreciated? I know you’re stubborn and protective about those you care for, and I am not saying to oust this person entirely — though maybe you should). But it’s time now to refocus for a while on folk who do want you in their company and life and make that known. You deserve better.

Gemini

Tarot card for Gemini for the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Pisces: The Fool

Meaning: The Fool tells you to stop settling for this endless cycle of reinvention and transition, and just be yourself. Be still. Let things hang as they are. If folk don’t like it, or things aren’t happening at pace, or the results have faltered… well, firstly seek to understand before you leap into another exhausting phase of reinvention.

Maybe the issue isn’t you at all. Maybe it’s them, or something out of your circle of control, in which case you can’t really do anything useful here. Seek to observe, learn, understand and know the root causes before acting.

Going through the motions takes its toll (Picture: Getty/Metro)

Tarot card for Cancer for the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Pisces: Four of Cups

Meaning: The Four of Cups tells you to stop settling for going through the motions in your daily life. Life is not meant to be so predictable or same-y. Groundhog Day was not a blueprint for a good lifestyle. You don’t need to exert such tight controls or restrictions on yourself. You don’t need to withhold, withdraw, or limit your desires and ideas and needs.

Be bold, be whole, be fully and authentically you and take the mindset of ‘I love my life’. You have health, time and freedom to do things as you wish — this is the most precious of gifts, so stop getting in your own way with false boundaries. Live large!

Leo

July 24 to August 23

Don’t let all that potential go to waste (Picture: Getty/Metro)

Tarot card for Leo for the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Pisces: Four of Wands

Meaning: The Four of Wands tells you to stop settling for a role, job or position that doesn’t fulfil you or bring the rewards that someone of your stature and experience should be getting. It’s time to rise.

Use the next four weeks as a phase of applying, pitching, researching, and going for new opportunities that are a level up from where you are. Whether this is in your career or personal development, you are ready to do more and get more out of it. Otherwise, what has all this work so far been for? Push past doubt and self-limiting beliefs to reach higher and enjoy more. You can do this.

Tarot card for Virgo for the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Pisces: Nine of Coins

Meaning: The Nine of Coins tells you to stop settling for an outcome in a long-term project, role or ambition that is nowhere near your original goal. You can get and do more. You deserve more out of this effort.

Sit back for a few days and reflect on your original ideal, look at the current trajectory, assess the realities you now know that you perhaps did not before, and reestablish a feasible but still stretching goal. If you carry on as you are, you might fall short. All this needs is a few tweaks and a reimagined end goal to help guide you through the coming months. You love planning, and this is a week of re-planning!

Libra

September 24 to October 23

It all starts with taking that first step (Picture: Getty/Metro)

Tarot card for Libra for the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Pisces: Queen of Wands

Meaning: The Queen of Wands tells you to stop settling for a boring certainty over a risky possibility. Sometimes it’s necessary to be prudent and cautious… but this is not one of those times. The Queen of Wands wants you to think bigger, be bolder, and take a chance. Roll the dice. Make this into an adventure vs a paralysing quest to perfection.

Take away all the expectations and just leap towards your ideals with confidence; something will happen, things will fall into place, options will open up. But you need to take action to make all of that happen. And you can do it. Don’t settle for a known certain outcome that doesn’t feel interesting or exciting. Life is for living.

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

Your intuition will be vindicated, but you need to find out the facts (Picture: Getty/Metro)

Tarot card for Scorpio for the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Pisces: The Hermit

Meaning: The Hermit tells you to stop settling for an answer or explanation that you just know (your spidey senses are unsurpassed) is not right. Do your digging, validate the facts, double check the story version, ask questions, probe, follow up, and then analyse with an intuitive eye. Something doesn’t add up and you know it. And you won’t settle until you have the full picture and a full sense of why things have gone down like they have.

This doesn’t necessarily lead to anything negative — if anything it’s all a revelation and an eye-opener, and you’re ready to get to the bottom of it. Don’t let them fob you off or present a false façade. Dig…

Tarot card for Sagittarius for the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Pisces: The Tower

Meaning: The Tower tells you to stop settling for something that pains you, feels fading and false, feels like it could all collapse at any moment. You are living in anticipatory dread and grief, and it’s not sustainable. Ask for clarity, Push for truth. Bring this house of cards down upon yourself if necessary.

Sometimes the big bang is easier to bear than the ominous foreshadowing and build-up, and you’ve reached the point of just wanting it all over with, and to know exactly where you stand. Make that happen. Once you know, well, then you can handle it and move on knowing the dark clouds are all behind you.

A fresh start will do you a power of good (Picture: Getty/Metro)

Tarot card for Capricorn for the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Pisces: Ace of Wands

Meaning: The Ace of Wands tells you to stop settling for the same old answers to the same old issues. It’s time to flip the script and try a new approach, something inspiring and creative and a little bit ‘out there’.

Start a new hobby, line of enquiry, journey, project, role, or attitude. Bring a sense of ‘clean slate’ to an ongoing issue or barrier, and try to overcome it with this fresh thinking. Draw a line under everything you’ve done before and start anew. Sometimes things just need a reboot, a new pair of eyes on them, a different approach. Do that and you will succeed. Do it this very week.

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

Reframe this situation, and it may not seem so bad after all (Picture: Getty/Metro)

Tarot card for Aquarius for the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Pisces: Seven of Cups

Meaning: The Seven of Cups tells you to stop settling for a worst case scenario version of events in your own mind. Your reality is controlled by your mind, it’s where everything is assessed, made meaningful and interpreted. You have been casting a very bleak lens on something important to you and expecting the worst (maybe as a defence mechanism) but this works against you.

It’s almost inviting that outcome closer… and nothing is sealed and delivered yet, things can be mitigated, altered and radically improved. So work on that. Take action vs dwelling on the worst case scenario and things will turn out way better than you think right now.

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

Sometimes the best thing you can do is give them space to think (Picture: Getty/Metro)

Tarot card for Pisces for the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Pisces: Seven of Swords

Meaning: The Seven of Swords tells you to stop settling for poor treatment from someone in your realm. You deserve a lot better. You know, deep down, they have been shady — and whatever their reasons, it’s not merited or welcome.

The answer? A silent withdrawal. Don’t give them emotion or words to twist and use against you. Just slip away for a while and let them stew on it. If they come back with an apology and an explanation, then okay, but if not, then they know they’ve been rumbled and they’re off sulking. Let them. Just let them. You are better off without this negative energy in your midst.
