What Does the Total Solar Eclipse in Leo Mean?
The Solar Eclipse at 20 degrees Leo continues our eclipse series in Aquarius and Leo.
Early this year, we experienced some upheaval in the Aquarius area of our lives, especially if it was at the close degrees of 28. But, now it’s Leo’s turn.
Now that we are getting the next “installment,” it is best to surrender to the major disruptions in the Leo area of life so that you can make space for greater meaning and purpose here.
***Eclipses can do several things: take something away that we thought we needed for the better, or simply remove something for a little while, just for it to come back later.
Take a look at your birth chart to see which house Leo rules for you, for that is where you will experience a significant beginning.
But let’s dive deeper and see what we as a collective are going through with the Solar Eclipse in Leo.
Leo is the sign that is concerned with leadership, creativity, and authenticity.
If any of these things that represent Leo have been questionable for you, prepare for a major shift because the eclipses are the Divine’s way of addressing the issue.
The South Node is copresent by degree with the Solar Eclipse in Leo, which represents a moment when the Moon is perfectly aligned with the Sun, and, from the Earth’s perspective, the Sun is eclipsed by the Moon.
Since the South Node represents remembrance, release, and spirituality, you can expect a manifestation along these lines, and it could feel rapid and even chaotic.
During this eclipse, may you remember your core.
May you remember your sovereignty.
May you remember how creative you truly are and can be.
And release what is ready to fall away from you.
No need to remain attached.
No need to beg people, places, or things to stay.
Receive a new reality.
May you recognize that this Solar Eclipse is exactly what you need and that the Stars align in your favor!
What to do with this Moon?
- Do not set any intentions, just see how your life is coming together amongst the chaos
- Hold space for yourself, and whatever big emotion or event comes up
- Practice the art of letting go
