By the end of August 2026, three zodiac signs are set to experience pure emotional freedom, according to astrologer Helena Hathor. The Pisces Lunar Eclipse on August 28 is the final eclipse in that water sign until 2044, closing a two-year cycle of releasing what has been draining energy. Hathor stated that this eclipse is meant to set those affected free.

For Leo, the eclipse brings an opportunity to upgrade their social circle. Hathor said that people who drain the spirit or the wallet, described as energy vampires, have no place going forward, and cutting them off will feel like a relief. This distancing also opens doors for financial gain, potentially leading to more money and greater financial independence.

Virgo is closing a karmic cycle in love, having faced betrayals and heartbreak that nearly led to giving up on romance. The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces changes that by the end of August, as Virgo now knows their worth and refuses toxic or one-sided connections. Hathor noted that Virgo is attracting healthier, more aligned partnerships in love, friendships, and business, with higher standards shaping who is allowed into their life.

Pisces experiences the Lunar Eclipse in their own sign, which will not happen again for almost two decades, marking the start of a new chapter. Before August ends, Pisces is saying goodbye to outdated versions of themselves and to people who no longer align with their future, according to Hathor. The astrologer added that Pisces is done with self-sacrifice and people-pleasing, and the eclipse brings both endings and beginnings.

Hathor explained that this energy leads to stronger boundaries, greater self-worth, and a relationship that reflects the person Pisces has become. Cutting some people off is part of freeing themselves and making room for those more aligned with their path.
