You Are Not Lost. You Are Between Versions.

16 - 22 AUGUST, 2026

Hi beautiful souls,

We have reached a point where you know you cannot return to who you were, but you are not yet completely sure who you are becoming.  

We are moving through the eclipse corridor: the powerful space between the Leo solar eclipse and the Pisces lunar eclipse. One energetic door has closed, but the next has not yet fully opened.

You may sense that something within you has changed without being able to explain exactly what it is. Things that once felt important may no longer hold the same energy. Certain roles, relationships, dreams or ways of living may suddenly feel unfamiliar, yet the new direction may not be clear enough to follow.

This can feel disorientating, but it does not mean you are lost. You are between versions.

Eclipses often begin their work beneath the surface. They rearrange our inner world before the conscious mind understands what is happening. They loosen what has become too small, reveal what we can no longer ignore and create movement where we may have become stuck.

The temptation this week may be to rush into an answer simply because uncertainty feels uncomfortable. Try not to. Not knowing is not the same as being on the wrong path. Sometimes we need to stand in the empty space long enough for something more honest to emerge.

The Energy This Week

The beginning of the week may feel emotionally foggy or energetically inconsistent.

You may feel clear and motivated one moment, then tired, sensitive or unsure the next. Plans may feel harder to grasp. Conversations could be misunderstood, and it may be easy to project our fears onto situations that have not yet revealed their full truth.

Be mindful of the stories your mind creates when information is missing. Not every silence means rejection. Not every delay means something is going wrong. Not every uncomfortable feeling is a sign that you need to act.

At the same time, there is also a beautiful current of support running through the week. Moments of connection, kindness, creativity and unexpected possibility may remind us that transformation does not always have to arrive through struggle.

Allow yourself to receive what feels good without questioning whether you have earned it.

As the week unfolds, relationships, money, boundaries and self-worth may come into sharper focus. We may begin to see where something has been built on genuine mutual effort and where we have been doing too much of the emotional work ourselves. Some relationships may deepen through honesty and maturity, while others may reveal an imbalance that can no longer be overlooked. This does not automatically mean something must end. It means something needs to become more real.

We are being asked to see people as they are rather than as we hope they might become. We are also being invited to notice where we have remained loyal to a possibility while ignoring the reality in front of us. Real love can hold truth. Real connection can survive an honest conversation and real alignment does not continually ask you to betray yourself to maintain it.

Releasing the Old Version

As the Sun reaches the end of Leo season, we arrive at another significant point of release.

The identity that carried you this far may not be the identity that can take you forward.

You may notice that an old role no longer fits. You may feel less willing to explain yourself, rescue others or maintain situations that drain your energy. You may recognise that you have been carrying responsibilities, expectations or emotional weight that were never entirely yours.

Let this awareness come without judgment. The person you were was not wrong. That version of you adapted, protected you and brought you here. But evolution asks us to know when a survival pattern has completed its purpose. You are allowed to thank an old version of yourself without continuing to live as him/her.

Returning to the Body

Toward the end of the week, we begin moving from Leo into Virgo season, changing the tone from fiery expression to grounded embodiment.

Virgo brings us back to the body, our routines and the practical details of our lives. After weeks of heightened emotion and energetic intensity, we are being asked to simplify.

What needs your attention?

What needs organising?

What has your body been trying to tell you?

What small change would make your daily life feel calmer, healthier or more sustainable?

The next chapter will not be created through one dramatic decision. It will be built through the choices you make each day.

How you care for your body.

How you protect your time.

How you speak to yourself.

What you continue to tolerate.

What you choose when nobody is watching.

How This Energy May Feel

You may experience:

• Tiredness or a need for more rest

• Emotional sensitivity or unexplained tears

• Moments of clarity followed by uncertainty

• A lower tolerance for superficiality

• Old fears or insecurities resurfacing

• A desire to withdraw, simplify or protect your energy

• A sudden awareness that you have outgrown something

• Strong dreams, intuitive messages or synchronicities

• Relationship or financial realities becoming clearer

• A feeling that change is happening beneath the surface

• A need to organise your home, routines or priorities

  
  

Allow these feelings to move through you without making them mean that something has gone wrong. Heightened emotions are information, but they are not always instruction. Give yourself time to settle before turning a temporary feeling into a permanent decision.

The Lessons and Blessings

The lesson this week is learning to remain present when life has not yet given us an answer.

We are being asked to stop filling every empty space with action, assumptions or fear.

Not everything uncertain is wrong. Not everything ending is a loss. Not every uncomfortable emotion requires an immediate response.

The blessing is that we are being given an opportunity to see ourselves, our relationships and our choices without the filters we once needed to feel safe. What is real will become stronger. What is aligned will remain. What is leaving will create the space required for something more honest to arrive.

How to Work With This Week

Slow down before making emotionally charged decisions.

Notice where you feel pressure to have everything figured out.

Allow relationships to show you the truth without immediately trying to fix what you see.

Rest when your body asks you to rest.

Write down what appears to be changing or leaving, even if you do not yet understand why.

Pay attention to what feels heavy, forced or no longer honest.

Begin simplifying your routines, commitments and environment.

Ask yourself whether you are responding to what is actually happening or to an old fear being activated.

Most importantly, do not chase what is naturally moving away.

Not everything that leaves is something you were meant to hold onto.

Some things leave because your soul has completed its experience with them.

Questions for Reflection

Where am I forcing clarity because uncertainty feels uncomfortable?

What version of myself am I ready to release?

Where am I relating to someone’s potential rather than their reality?

What is my body asking me to slow down and listen to?

What am I carrying that may no longer be mine?

What would become possible if I trusted that I do not need all the answers today?

✨ Affirmation of the Week ✨

"I trust the space between who I was and who I am becoming. I release what no longer belongs to me and allow my next chapter to reveal itself in perfect timing."

You do not need to rush through this space.

The version of you who entered this eclipse corridor will not be the same version who leaves it.

Let the old layers fall. Let the truth become clearer. Let your next chapter find you ready, grounded and no longer afraid of the space between.
