The year tips into its fullness. The Sun has crossed the solstice gate into Cancer, and the quarter opens inward — Mercury turning retrograde and Saturn and Neptune both stalling, the first weeks given to memory and review rather than reach. Then the light gathers force: Jupiter steps into Leo and the season swells toward August, where a total solar eclipse in Leo throws a year-defining door wide and a lunar eclipse in Pisces clears the ground behind it. By September, Virgo's exacting hand sorts the harvest toward the equinox. The quarter asks for fullness, then for sense — to bloom in August, and make it real before the light turns.
