Hello, my peeps ✨
“Janet did not give me my gift. She gave my gift a room, a microphone, an audience and permission to be heard.”
This one is personal. I usually sit down to write this newsletter and tell you what the Moon is doing, what the numbers mean, what the tarot cards are saying and what each rising sign needs to know for the week ahead. I am giving you every single one of those things. But before we get to the 12 signs, I need to tell you the truth: this week is not simply astrology to me. It is not content. It is not just another show. This is my life coming back around, taking a seat inside my studio, and letting me witness what God was building all along.
We begin Sunday, August 30, still integrating the Pisces lunar eclipse that arrived on August 28. That eclipse brought memory, grief, intuition, purpose, home and unfinished emotional truth to the surface. Then on Monday, August 31, Jupiter trines Saturn. The planet of faith, expansion and possibility reaches an agreement with the planet of commitment, structure and time. Spirit gives the vision a foundation. The dream gets walls, a date, a schedule and yes, a microphone.
Janet and me at our very first meet-and-greet. At the time, I thought we were taking a photograph. I did not know we were documenting the beginning of my broadcasting life.
That woman beside me was not simply another astrologer I met at an event. Janet became one of the people who changed the direction of my life. She taught me astrology. She did shows with me. She put headphones on my head, brought me into a real radio studio, helped get me online and let me hear my own voice come back through those headphones. That moment sparked my love of radio. It showed me that what I carried privately could live publicly.
And now, years later, Janet is coming into my studio on Wednesday, September 2, on her birthday. The woman who first brought me into a studio is sitting beside me in the studio I built. The person who helped introduce me to broadcasting is now being honored on my own show. Tell me God does not have timing. Tell me the Universe does not know how to write a plot twist.
Before the studio: the part nobody saw 🌙
When I came to Florida in 2005, I came with three children, one thousand dollars, a gift I did not completely understand and a level of faith that honestly looked crazy on paper. I did not arrive with a studio waiting for me. I did not arrive with a media deal, a staff, a show or a blueprint. I arrived with a knowing. That was it. A knowing that God had asked me to move, and that if I moved, the next instruction would eventually meet me there.
By 2009, Janet took me under her wing. She saw me before the world had a reason to see me. She recognized the work before there was a platform large enough to validate it. She did not make me prove that I belonged in the room before opening the door. She told me to show up. And I did.
I remember the headphones. I remember the studio. I remember hearing myself and feeling something inside me settle. It was not ego. It was recognition. My soul knew the room before my résumé did. I felt at home.
The first flyer, and the beginning of another story 📄
The flyer connected to this chapter was the very first flyer I had ever been featured on. To someone else, it may have looked like a small promotional piece. To me, it was evidence that the invisible life I had been carrying was starting to become visible. That flyer eventually found its way into the right hands. It became part of how Jennifer Lopez discovered me.
Think about that for a second. One flyer. One meeting. One woman willing to recognize another woman. One studio invitation. One Monday morning. One pair of headphones. We are always waiting for destiny to arrive like a parade, but sometimes destiny arrives like a piece of paper somebody almost threw away.
There is much more to that story, and I am saving the part that still gives me chills for Wednesday night. I want to tell it while Janet is sitting beside me, because some stories deserve to be told in the presence of the person who helped begin them.
“How did that first flyer travel from a meet-and-greet into Jennifer Lopez’s world? I am telling the complete story live Wednesday night.”
Who Janet really is 🌟
Janet’s story did not begin with me. Before many people knew her as the Star Goddess, she was living a very different story. Her real life became the inspiration for HBO’s 1992 film Afterburn, with Laura Dern portraying her. After Janet’s husband, an Air Force captain, died in an F-16 crash, Janet refused to quietly accept an explanation that blamed pilot error. She fought for the truth, challenged institutions far more powerful than she was, and worked to clear her husband’s name.
That tells you who she is. Janet is a woman who follows truth when truth is inconvenient. She is intuitive, relentless, brilliant, brave and willing to stand alone when something in her knows the official story is not the whole story. That same woman looked at me and recognized something. Of course she did. Janet has spent a lifetime seeing beneath the explanation and looking for what is actually true.
Now, as I begin welcoming people into the studio, Janet will become my very first in-studio guest. Again: the woman who brought me into a studio will be the first person I bring into mine. And it happens on September 2, her birthday. That is not a random booking. That is a circle closing with both of us alive, present and able to witness it.
“A full-circle moment is not life returning you to the same place. It is life returning you to the same doorway so you can finally see how far you have traveled.”
What does a soul actually mean? 🕊️
We use the word soul constantly, but I want to slow it down because this entire story is a soul story. Your soul is the part of you that exists underneath every title, every relationship, every job, every body, every success, every loss and every version of you that the world has met. It is your God-given essence. It is the part of you that recognizes truth before your mind gathers enough evidence to explain it.
Your personality asks, “Will this work?” Your fear asks, “What if I fail?” Your ego asks, “How will this look?” But your soul says, “I know this room. I know this person. I know this is part of my path.”
A soul connection does not always mean somebody stays beside you every day for the rest of your life. Sometimes a soul enters at a specific intersection to activate something that could not have awakened in the same way without them. Their purpose is not to complete you. Their purpose may be to remind you, introduce you, challenge you, protect you, teach you, open a door or hold a mirror in front of the person you are becoming.
That is what Janet represents in my story. She was not there to make me gifted. God already gave me the gift. She was there to help the gift hear itself out loud.
“Stop measuring the importance of a relationship only by how often you speak or how long a chapter lasted. Ask instead: what did this person awaken in me that never went back to sleep?”
The astrology: Pisces at home, Virgo in the studio ♓️
The August 28 partial lunar eclipse peaked just after midnight Eastern at approximately 4°54′ Pisces, opposite the Sun in Virgo. A Full Moon always places the Sun and Moon across from one another, but an eclipse intensifies the revelation. It brings a chapter to culmination and exposes what can no longer remain unconscious.
In my chart, Pisces is in my fourth house. The fourth house is not light astrology. It is the bottom of the chart, the roots. It is home, family, ancestry, memory, emotional safety, childhood, private life and the part of us nobody sees when the cameras are off. It describes where we come from and the inner foundation from which every public accomplishment grows.
Directly opposite Pisces is Virgo in my tenth house: career, reputation, vocation, public visibility, authority, legacy and the work the world knows us for. Janet is a Virgo. She literally helped carry something out of my private spiritual world, my Pisces fourth-house knowing, and into a Virgo tenth-house structure: a schedule, a studio, a broadcast, a microphone and an audience.
Now, within days of this Pisces and Virgo eclipse, she returns to my public studio on her Virgo birthday. The eclipse is lighting up the exact axis between where my story began privately and what it became publicly. Pisces says, “This was written in the soul.” Virgo says, “Now put it on the schedule for Wednesday at eight.” That is why this is so auspicious.
Why Janet’s Virgo energy matters ♍️
Virgo is ruled by Mercury, the planet associated with words, information, teaching, broadcasting, messages and the way meaning is organized and delivered. Virgo does not merely sense a gift, Virgo asks how that gift can become useful. Janet did not only tell me I had something. She put me in a place where I could practice it, communicate it and offer it to real people. On Wednesday, Mercury is exceptionally strong in Virgo, the Moon is exalted in Taurus, and Venus is at home in Libra. Mind, emotion, relationship, beauty and conversation are all operating from places of strength.
Pisces and Virgo are opposite signs, but opposites are not enemies. They complete an axis. Pisces receives the message, Virgo edits it so other people can understand. Pisces is intuition, Virgo is technique. Pisces is spirit, Virgo is service. I carried the knowing. Janet helped give the knowing a working microphone. The Taurus Moon on her birthday grounds the emotion, while the Jupiter and Saturn trine still holds the week together: a blessing that can last, a vision built properly, and a full-circle moment substantial enough to become part of a legacy.
The numerology of the week 🔢
This week is numerically layered in a way that mirrors the story almost perfectly. I do not believe numbers cause our lives, but I do believe numbers describe the vibration already moving through a moment. They are the address of the energy.
August 28, 2026 becomes a 1. 8 + 2 + 8 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 6 = 28, which reduces to 10, then to 1. The eclipse date is a Universal 1 Day inside a Universal 1 Year. The sky is closing a chapter while the number 1 insists that a new identity must begin.
September is a 9. September is the ninth month, so it carries the symbolic language of 9: completion, wisdom, compassion, legacy, forgiveness and spiritual graduation. But 2026 is a Universal 1 Year, which also makes September a 10/1 Universal Month. Completion and beginning are happening together.
Janet’s birthday is a 2. Janet is born on the second day. Two is intuition, partnership, receptivity, timing, cooperation and the sacred space between two people. This full-circle story could not exist without the number 2: one woman recognizing another.
September 2, 2026 becomes a 3. 9 + 2 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 6 = 21, which reduces to 3. Three is communication, storytelling, creativity, media, expression, personality, performance and voice. On Janet’s birthday, we are not simply remembering the story, we are broadcasting it.
And I carry Life Path 9, so the ninth month naturally speaks to my work of teaching, healing, storytelling, service, closure and turning lived experience into something that helps other people.
Put it together. The 9 closes the old cycle. The 2 brings the two women together. The 3 puts them on the air and lets the story be heard. And the 1 energy of 2026 says this full-circle ending is also the beginning of a completely new era for The Jae Rae Show.
“Twenty-one carries the World energy in tarot: completion, arrival and the closing of a major cycle. It reduces to 3, meaning the completed story must now be spoken out loud.”
The JRL Tarot card of the week 🃏
Wheel of Fortune
Wheel of Fortune
I could not choose another card for this week. The Wheel of Fortune is divine timing, turning points, destiny, cycles, luck, movement and the moment a story circles back with an entirely different meaning. The wheel reminds us that nothing stays at the bottom forever and nothing at the top should be taken for granted. Life moves. Seasons turn. People return. Doors that once opened for us eventually become doors we are able to open for others.
Janet once sat on one side of the studio door and invited me through. Now I am standing on the other side, welcoming her into my show. That is the Wheel of Fortune in real life.
“You will know the wheel has turned when the room that once intimidated you becomes the room where you welcome somebody else home.”
Your 12 rising-sign tarotscopes ✨
Read for your rising sign first, because it places the eclipse aftermath into the correct house of your chart. Then read your Sun and Moon. Each horoscope includes one card from the complete 78-card JRL Tarot deck.
“Do not rush a dramatic decision simply because you feel emotional. Eclipses reveal in layers. Read, observe, journal, and let the truth become clear enough that you no longer have to force it.”
♈️ Aries
Eight of Cups
Your private ending
This eclipse activates your twelfth house, the part of the chart connected to endings, rest, grief, dreams, mental health, secrets, spirituality and what you carry when nobody else is watching. The Eight of Cups says you are emotionally finished with something even if your daily life has not caught up yet. Stop asking yourself to stay loyal to pain simply because you survived it for a long time. You do not need another explanation from the person, place or pattern that drained you. You need rest, spiritual honesty and permission to walk away without turning your departure into a courtroom. The new beginning is quiet right now, but it is real.
Your private journal question: What am I emotionally complete with, even though I have been afraid to admit it?
♉️ Taurus
Three of Cups
Who truly celebrates you?
The eclipse illuminates your eleventh house of friendship, community, audiences, teams, social media, dreams and the people connected to your future. The Three of Cups is joyful, but it is also discerning. Who claps when your name is called? Who checks on you when there is nothing to gain? Who makes the room feel larger instead of making you compete for oxygen? A friendship or group chapter may be ending because your future requires a different kind of community. Do not isolate. Curate. Your next opportunity may arrive through a person who genuinely enjoys seeing you win.
Your private journal question: Which relationships feel mutual, celebratory and safe, and which ones only feel familiar?
♊️ Gemini
Six of Wands
Let yourself be recognized
The eclipse lands in your tenth house of career, reputation, leadership, legacy and public visibility. The Six of Wands says you are moving into recognition, but Gemini, you cannot receive applause while hiding behind the curtain. Your work may be changing, your title may be changing, or the way people see you may be catching up to the person you have quietly become. Stop pretending visibility is vanity. If your work helps people, allowing it to be seen is part of the service. Take the meeting. Submit the proposal. Tell people what you do without shrinking the sentence.
Your private journal question: Where have I been calling myself humble when I am actually afraid to be seen?
♋️ Cancer
Two of Wands
Choose the larger life
The eclipse activates your ninth house of travel, education, teaching, publishing, legal matters, belief, faith and the bigger world beyond what you already know. The Two of Wands says you are standing at the edge of an expanded life, but you keep asking for the entire map before taking the first step. Cancer, the plan will reveal itself through movement. Book the trip. Teach the class. Write the chapter. Apply to the program. Question the belief you inherited if it no longer feels like God to you. Your comfort zone protected you once, it cannot become the fence around your future.
Your private journal question: If I believed the world was available to me, what would I finally choose?
♌️ Leo
Six of Pentacles
Make reciprocity the rule
The eclipse moves through your eighth house of intimacy, trust, shared finances, debt, inheritance, sexuality, grief, power and energetic exchange. The Six of Pentacles asks one blunt question: is this reciprocal? You may have been overgiving money, labor, emotional access, forgiveness or time in order to feel necessary. That is not generosity when resentment is growing underneath it. This week asks you to create cleaner agreements. Let people show you what they are willing to contribute. Receiving does not make you weak, and setting a limit does not make you selfish.
Your private journal question: Where am I overpaying, financially, emotionally or energetically, to prove my value?
♍️ Virgo
The Moon
Your intuition is information
This Pisces eclipse occurs in your seventh house of relationships, marriage, contracts, clients, open enemies and one-to-one commitments. The Moon card says something important has been felt but not fully named. Because you are Virgo, you may keep trying to solve the relationship with logic, analysis, better wording or one more attempt to make the facts line up. But your body already knows what your mind is still debating. Do not create a conclusion out of panic, watch the pattern. What is true will repeat. What is hidden will reveal itself. Let intuition sit at the table with evidence.
Your private journal question: What has my body been telling me about this relationship that my mind keeps editing?
♎️ Libra
Four of Swords
Rest is part of the work
The eclipse lights up your sixth house of health, habits, employment, service, schedules, coworkers and the small routines that hold your life together. The Four of Swords is a clear instruction to pause. Your nervous system cannot keep financing a life that looks organized but feels exhausting. Something about your day-to-day structure must change. Protect sleep. Simplify the schedule. Stop treating every request like an emergency. Healing does not require you to disappear from your life, but it does require a routine that allows you to remain inside your own body.
Your private journal question: What part of my routine is stealing more life than it gives back?
♏️ Scorpio
Death
Let the old desire die
The eclipse activates your fifth house of romance, pleasure, children, fertility, creativity, performance, risk and joy. Your card is Death, your own sacred archetype. This is not physical death. This is the ending that makes rebirth possible. An old romantic story, creative identity or belief about what you are allowed to enjoy has reached completion. Stop trying to revive a chapter simply because it once made you feel alive. Pleasure is changing. Your art is changing. You are changing. The most honest thing you can do is let desire become new.
Your private journal question: What version of happiness am I trying to resurrect even though it no longer belongs to me?
♐️ Sagittarius
Ten of Wands
Put down the family weight
The eclipse falls in your fourth house of home, family, ancestry, real estate, childhood, parents and emotional foundations, the same house this eclipse activates in my own chart. The Ten of Wands says you have become the person who carries everything because everyone knows you can. But being capable does not mean every burden is yours. A family role may be ending. A move, home decision, parental issue or old childhood responsibility may be asking for closure. Love your family, but stop becoming the warehouse for everybody’s unprocessed life.
Your private journal question: Which responsibility became mine only because I was strong enough to carry it?
♑️ Capricorn
Page of Swords
Say it clearly
The eclipse activates your third house of communication, contracts, siblings, neighbors, learning, writing, short travel and the messages moving around you. The Page of Swords brings curiosity, truth, observation and sometimes gossip or incomplete information. Ask the direct question before constructing the entire story in your head. Read the fine print. Save the email. Verify what was actually said. Most importantly, let yourself become a beginner with a new idea. A message that looks small now may become the doorway to your next major chapter.
Your private journal question: What truth needs a direct conversation instead of another week of private analysis?
♒️ Aquarius
Five of Pentacles
Your worth is not the temporary number
The eclipse moves through your second house of money, income, possessions, values, self-worth and security. The Five of Pentacles can expose scarcity, financial fear or the belief that you must handle everything alone. This card does not say you are doomed. It says fear is narrowing your field of vision. Look at the actual numbers. Ask for support. Change the price. Apply for the position. Cancel the expense that no longer makes sense. Do not confuse a temporary financial condition with your permanent worth. A door exists, but pride may be keeping you outside of it.
Your private journal question: What practical support have I refused because I thought needing help meant I had failed?
♓️ Pisces
Judgement
Answer your life
This eclipse is happening in your first house, your body, identity, appearance, direction, name and the way you enter every room. Judgement is the wake-up call, resurrection, reckoning and return. Pisces, you are not being asked to manufacture a brand-new person. You are being asked to stop abandoning the person your soul has been trying to recover. An old identity, role, relationship or survival costume is no longer large enough for you. You already heard the call. This is the week to answer it.
Your private journal question: If I stopped organizing my life around who I used to be, who would I allow myself to become now?
Wednesday night: the circle closes live in the studio 🎙️
On Wednesday, September 2, 2026, Janet’s birthday, she will be live in studio with me on The Jae Rae Show at 8:00 PM Eastern. I am going to honor the woman, the astrologer, the broadcaster, the fighter and the soul who helped me hear my own calling through a pair of studio headphones.
We are going to talk about our relationship, the early radio days, astrology, her extraordinary life, Afterburn, the first flyer and the chain of events that eventually connected me to Jennifer Lopez. And because Janet will be there, we will also take your calls and look at the astrology moving through your life.
Join me Wednesday, September 2, at 8:00 PM Eastern, live on The Jae Rae Show on YouTube. Call in on 515-523-7469 or text the show on 315-523-7469. You can find Janet on her own channel, 941 Star Goddess.
“The woman who first welcomed me into a studio is coming into mine on her birthday. That is not nostalgia. That is destiny allowing us to witness the circle close.”
And the part about Jennifer Lopez? I am not putting the whole thing in writing, not yet. You have to join us Wednesday night, because I want you to hear it exactly the way it happened.
Until then, sit with your own full-circle moment. Look back at the person who opened a door, said one sentence, introduced you to someone, gave you a chance, or saw something in you before you could see it clearly yourself. Maybe this is the week to thank them. Maybe this is the week to become that person for somebody else.
I love you, my peeps. I will see you Wednesday night.
