August New Moon Astrology 2026 | SOVEREIGN Magazine® Podcast with Arin Dosch

In this episode of SOVEREIGN Magazine® Podcast, host Nicole George reconnects with Arin Dosh, SOVEREIGN Magazine® In-House Astrologer, for the August New Moon issue themed “Growth,” exploring the Aug. 12 New Moon solar eclipse at 20° Leo—the first eclipse in the new Leo–Aquarius nodal cycle. Arin explains how this South Node (Ketu) eclipse emphasizes purification, release, and refining identity, creativity, visibility, and leadership, with Jupiter and Mercury in Leo amplifying confidence, insights, and narrative shifts. She outlines key transits through late August, including Mercury’s sextiles to Uranus and Venus, Mercury–Jupiter, Mars square Neptune, Venus–Jupiter support, Venus opposite Saturn reality checks, and Mercury’s shift into Virgo culminating in a Virgo Cazimi - highlighting a fast, wildfire-like pace that ultimately distills clarity and more authentic growth.00:00 Trigger Warning00:58 Meet Arin Dosch01:40 Eclipse Season Overview02:29 Leo Eclipse Themes03:12 South Node Purification06:01 Key Transits Mid August09:05 Relationship Reality Checks09:38 Virgo Shift and Clarity12:13 Reflections and Wildfire MetaphorConnect with Arin DoschEmailInstagramWebsiteOfferingsProducer’s credits:Nicole George - Podcast Host | CEO/Founder SOVEREIGN Magazine® | Editor-in-Chief Ariane Lim - Podcast Producer + EngineerSara Wagle - Audio Efficiency & Flow ManagerLatest Issue: Click here Become a Columnist: learn more here.Connect with Us:InstagramFacebookLinkedInSubstackYouTubeThreads
