Practicing Omen Observation During Eclipse Season
Do you believe in omens? It’s early August 2026 and the eclipses are just around the corner. The first Total Solar Eclipse in Leo is about to occur between 12th / 13th August, while the last Lunar Eclipse in Pisces will happen on 28th August. If there was a time when omens are louder and clearer, it’s now, as the eclipse window is opening.
Reading omens is an important astrological skill that is not much discussed in modern day practice. Omens can help shape our astrological predictions, as they illustrate planetary influences in our visible reality. Understanding the meaning of an omen helps to give meaning to planetary phenomena.
The Grand Sextile of 2026
The little known Grand Sextile configuration has been taking shape in the sky since 2025 and will reach the greatest point of exactness in August 2026. This hexagram pattern according to astrologer, Bill Tierney in his book Dynamics of Aspect Analysis, is said to stimulate awareness of how our talents can be used to drive social causes and contribute to the greater environment. Through versatility, coordination, cooperation and creativity, the Grand Sextile allows opportunities, resources and skills to be maximised for greatest social benefit.
