Eclipse Season
Preparation Workshop
The last clear window before Mercury Retrograde and Jupiter's leap into Leo rewrite the sky. Two hours. Eight people. Café Gilde.
"Eclipse season doesn't begin in August.
It starts now — and June 25 is the last clear day
before Mercury goes retrograde."
The sky is already
in motion.
On June 29, two things happen simultaneously: Mercury stations retrograde, and Jupiter enters Leo — the same sign as the August 12 Total Solar Eclipse. June 25 is the last Thursday before that threshold. The last moment to set clear intentions before the cosmic reset begins.
Four reasons this
moment matters.
Total Solar Eclipse in Leo
August 12, 2026. The most powerful lunation of the year activates the Leo–Aquarius axis — a cycle that runs until 2028.
Jupiter enters Leo
June 30 [12.02 pm CEST] — five days after this workshop. The great amplifier moves into the eclipse sign, igniting themes of identity, courage and creative power.
Mercury Retrograde begins
Also June 29. The window for clear intention-setting closes. June 25 is among the last forward-moving days before the cosmic slowdown.
Venus in Leo
Already in the eclipse sign since June 13 and until July 9 — activating themes of passion, visibility and self-expression. The preparation has already begun.
What happens
in the room.
Read your eclipse chart
We find exactly which house Leo activates in your personal birth chart — and what that means for the next two years.
Decode the themes
Identity, courage, creative expression, visibility. What is this eclipse season asking you to release — and what to claim?
Work the live transits
Venus in Leo, Jupiter's ingress, the Uranus–Nodal square. How the current sky connects to what's moving in your life right now.
Set your intention
You leave with a written focus and one concrete action to take before August 12. Something real, not abstract.

Café Gilde
You don't need to be
an astrologer.
You're curious about astrology and want a grounded, practical introduction to how it applies to your life
You feel something shifting and want a framework to understand what the sky is reflecting back to you
You follow astrology but want to go deeper than general forecasts — into your personal chart
You want to enter eclipse season with clarity and intention rather than being swept along by it
What to bring
Your birth date,
time & place
A notebook
An open mind
We'll prepare your
eclipse chart in advance.
When you register, we'll ask for your exact birth date, time, and place. We use this to calculate and print your personal chart ahead of the workshop — so we can dive straight into your reading together.
A note on accuracy Please provide your birth time exactly as it appears on your birth certificate, including AM/PM. It is the participant's responsibility to ensure the accuracy of their birth time and location — including any historical daylight saving time (summer time) adjustments that may apply to your place and date of birth. If you're unsure, official birth records or local civil registries usually list the recorded time as standard local time at the moment of birth. If your birth time is unavailable, let us know — we can still work with a solar chart.
