Eclipse Season Is Coming: Why You Must Release Your Ego Now

Taylor Marsh dives into the powerful energies building through July and August 2026, from the Cancer New Moon to the approaching eclipse season that begins in mid-August. She explains why emotions are humanity's superpower and how to harness them during this transformative time.

Taylor breaks down the Supreme Court's rulings on birthright citizenship and TPS for Haitians, connecting the political fallout to the cosmic lesson of the moment: ego-driven ambition will fail. With Jupiter in Leo's south node, this is a time of release — not expansion — and those who cling to power for its own sake will face consequences.

What you'll learn:

• Why the Cancer New Moon energy demands emotional honesty and self-reflection
• How eclipse season works through the moon's nodes and why these are fated energies
• The August 12th total solar eclipse in Leo and what it means for releasing ego
• Why Jupiter in Leo's south node flips the script on ambition and expansion
• Astrological analysis of Trump and Vance — and what Uranus and the south node mean for their futures
• Why the self-help and influencer community will be turned inside out
• What you should (and shouldn't) do during eclipse season

We're going to start with a quote. After the Supreme Court upheld the Constitution's guarantee of birthright citizenship, Trump and MAGA lost it. MAGA exploded. One personality called on the masses to quote unquote use whatever force is necessary to repel, quote-unquote, invaders, a clear threat to violence. Stephen Miller absurdly described the ruling as, quote-unquote, national self-obliteration, end quote. That is from the new republic. Welcome. I'm Taylor Marsh, author and host of Blue My Mind. No campaign will succeed to end birthright citizenship. The universe, at this point in time, and for many, many years to come, is on the side of the collective. Humanity's overall benefit. Now, right now, we are in the energy of the Cancer New Moon, but like I always say, the planet of communication is still napping. So a lot of people aren't so focused on what comes later. They're trying to plod through what happened in the beginning of the year. Now, America's new moon is also our country's new moon because this July, this is when we founded this nation. Now, when you think about human power, the most powerful thing we have, emotions are a human superpower. So feel into them at these times, especially going into August and through August. These are the biggest energies we're going to have for some time. And when you feel into your emotions, what are your instincts telling you? Are they telling you anything? If you can't feel into your instincts, or you don't trust them, ask yourself this question. What is the one thing that I continue to lie to myself about? What are you lying about to yourself? Because if you lie to yourself, your instincts are not going to be on track. And your intuition, which follows, won't be either. It is very important for everyone to be honest and be deep-rooted with the emotional world that you are going to be living the rest of the summer. With the planet of communication still napping this week, we can be happy that next week it starts moving forward. But there's a catch to that, which I'm going to get to in a minute. Leo energy, which is August energy, it's the lion, it is fire. This energy is showy, it's ambitious, and it is authentic in its best light. But a person can think they're being authentic when they're really being self-serving, narcissistic, and they're following their own human conceit. This is a very dangerous thing. If Leo and Jupiter were having a normal conversation, I would say that it's the Leo energy is full-on, ambition, ambition, expansion. But Leo is not in that position. The bad Leo energy that I just talked about is Trump, but it's also J.D. Vance. And it doesn't matter your politics. This is just what it is. We are seeing this. And the one thing that people get wrong about Jupiter once we get through June, which we are, is there is a caveat for the normally expansive, self-promoting, ambitious Leo and Jupiter. For centuries, humans have made sense of our existence through organized religion. The influence is being rethought by humanity at this moment. What is missing from the lives of most humans is considering the universe and the impact these powerful energetics above have on humanity personally and collectively. This is not cause and effect. It is how these energies ripple through the universe and how we interpret them, each of us individually, and how we act, react, or don't react, and think twice. It is very powerful energetics. Another thing the Supreme Court did this year, which was tectonic, is remove temporary protective status from Haitians and a few thousand Syrians. Now, it's hundreds of thousands of Haitians. One podcaster had a lot to say about this ruling, and you'll see this ambitious energy, and this is what not to do in the next year. Quote, look, this has been going on for over a dozen years. Go home. Get out. We know our country's better than yours. That's because we built it with our work ethic, our culture, and our values. You being here only dilutes it for us. Those who built it and loved it. And half of you people won't assimilate. We don't care if you're offended. Get out. Go home. Go back to Haiti. End quote. That is from Megan Kelly on her podcast. The ruling and Miss Kelly's response is not the energy of the next year. Neither is the response from MAGA, the White House, or any of the politics around that. The age we have entered will bring the human collective into focus and into power. Will it be perfect? Of course not. There will be some things that will not come to fruition, but steps forward will be made. Now, amidst all this, especially in the month of July and going into August, we will have a lot of emotion percolating, let's say. And emotions and feelings are the most potent elements for humans to embrace. Emotions are our superpower. In universe terms, emotions equate to the moon. It is the moon that impacts the most tectonic energies humans experience. What are these? Eclipse season. Eclipse season this year begins in mid-August, but these energies are felt weeks beforehand. When the universe is making these moves, it doesn't happen like a light switch. It can happen that way in your own life, but that energies move over a long period of time, and they also take into consideration what has already happened. Like we are in the Aquarian age. And Aquarius is not only technology and AI, but it's the human response to it, as we have seen. Now, with eclipse season beginning in August, you have to understand that these are faded energies. There's nothing you can do about them. Eclipses come to remove and reorganize, but they can also, on an individual level, take things out of your life because humans need to learn from it, learn to evolve. These are evolutionary energies that you cannot change, you cannot try to alter them. Eclipses are best received through sitting with yourself, honoring your emotions, and letting those emotions with what is happening around you alchemize through your body. But you must remember life is reorganized through eclipses. Now, the weeks ahead is these are ramps into the heated moment where the eclipse happens. Now, how do how do eclipses happen? What are they about? Eclipses are decided through the moon's nodes. What is that? I'm going to use an AI description for this. Lunar nodes are the two mathematical points where the moon's orbital path intersects Earth's orbital plane around the sun, the elliptic. They are not physical bodies, but are astronomically significant. They are also faded, as I just said, and they are human tectonic shifts. A total solar eclipse will happen on August twelfth and will deliver over two minutes of total darkness. Now, wherever you're you may be experiencing these things in the dead of night anyway, but the total darkness is a metaphor for why you are not supposed to make big moves, big decisions, or launch anything inside the eclipse. Because these are very fated energies that have their own way with humanity. In Leo, this solar eclipse is powerful because it is in relationship to the South Node. Now, the South Node is a release point. One astrologer, Astralada, calls it the dragon's tail. Now, let's get into specifics of two famous people, which I think will be interesting to track. President Trump is a Leo rising. Gemini is his sun sign. So Mr. Trump is currently experiencing radical change to the most powerful energy in the universe, Uranus, the change maker, the revolutionary earthquake inside a human life. In my experience, this is a karmic journey filled with repercussions for the president. Now, I'm not going to say what it could be or what it couldn't be. I don't deliver bad news to anyone, but unless he changes, which no one expects of Trump, the next years will be tumultuous and humbling. Fighting against these energies can be dangerous, very dangerous. And I'll just leave it at that. The only thing he could do was reorder his life and change how he acts. Now, as for J.D. Vance, he is a Leo's son, which normally would be a hundred percent Formula One ride. But being blessed with good luck and with ambition rewarded being a normal experience isn't what he will see. Jupiter in the South Node means something entirely different. South node is, for lack of a better way to put it, the spiritual side of eclipses. What we are here to release so we can evolve and be an aid to others. That number one thing that you must let go of with Leo in the South Node is ego and human conceit for your own power. Power for its own sake is not going to end well for anyone, whether it's Vance or Trump or me or you or all the different influencers. The only way for Vance to succeed is to put service over ambition. Self-serving ideas will fail miserably. So something is brewing for both Trump and Vance and all Leos. But it is also whether you're a Leo or not, this is happening in our lives too. Jupiter conversing inside South Node energy of the moon means letting go of all ego-driven energy. Will the political parties do this? Will our politicians do this? We are at a time where you cannot talk about these energies without talking about the people who are in charge of making America work and making the world work. Human conceit during this time will be deadly. And as we get into July this week, huge energies are shifting. Some of these energies will come back in the next two and three years, all inside the Aquarian era. You know, gifts we have, what we are given, God given, and what we work on must be used for the good of others. This is the lesson that Leo and the South Node and Jupiter. This is this lesson. You will be able to watch the podcast and influencer community shed stars because all they do is concentrate on their own influence for their own sake. Megan Kelly is certainly not the only one, but there are a lot of podcasters with her narcissistic need for attention and money alone. If you're just working your job for money alone and that's it, that's not what this energy is about. Aquarius is in the north node. That is the future, that is rapid change, that is the higher octave of Uranus, the great awakener and change maker. The self-help community will be turned inside out unless they use their popularity and presence for service. Anyone into their own ego ratification will suffer. That's just the way these energies work, because they are faded. If you haven't learned this lesson by the time you get to the head of a corporation, you are in trouble. And so is your own company. The weakest point you can go through is working your ego inside the work you do and hoping that for your own gratification. That's not what this is about. This is a tectonic shift in humanity and for us personally. Now, we have a partial lunar eclipse at the end of August. It's a different experience. I'll talk about that in the weeks ahead. But what you can do in the rest of July and going into August is just get in touch with yourself, get to that place that you're not you're being dishonest, change that mentality, and sit with your feelings and emotions and don't react. You are here to receive this energy and live with it and let it percolate. This is not a time to do any big changes. They will come upon you. I have been through these eclipses. I'm going to tell you about one next week that blew my mind and is the reason I named this podcast what I did. Anyway, that's enough for this week, right? Thanks so much for listening. I'm Taylor Marsh. You can reach me at TaylorMarsh.com on the socials. My books are on Amazon. They're thrillers. Darker Than Blood is a really good book to read during this energetic time. It's a lot of fun. It's not for the faint of heart, but none of my writing is because I'm truthful and I've been through a lot in my life. Again, thanks for listening. Until next time.
