LEO NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE 2026

Today, August 12, 2026, we will be experiencing a Leo New Moon Solar Eclipse.  It crosses Greenland, Iceland and Spain and those of us in Canada or the USA will experience a partial view. 

 

It is closest to the South Node, rather than the North Node, out by about 9° in the same sign (Leo).  Those with planets or angles in the fixed signs (Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio and Leo) within a 3° orb of influence, so 17 to 23 ° of these signs will be the most affected by this major celestial event. 

 

A Solar Eclipse closer to the South Node than the North Node often makes things quite challenging and pushes you to let go of something that is holding you back.  Without letting go and ending conditions, something new, which is what is being called for, may never materialize. 

 

Because this is in the sign of Leo at 20°, it has to do with leadership, individuality and/or any creative endeavors you might be involved in, especially anything that might put you in the limelight or draw attention to you.  It will be a time of new beginnings. For a new beginning to take hold, we must let go of something old and outdated. This creates an ending of sorts before we can begin anew.

 

The effects of this Solar Eclipse will have a lasting impact on those effected. The energies can last up to one year. Astrologers believe that the time the eclipse lasts in hours is equal to the years it will be affecting your life. Most certainly, however, the first six months are of most importance and have profound effects based on the planets being impacted and the houses involved in the chart.

 

It is time, as with all Leo individuals, to be your true self and if by chance you have been overly busy in the past, you might want to take some time off and enjoy life a little.  Take a holiday from your obligations, have some fun, and take a break.  If you don’t do this, you might feel very drained and worn out.  This eclipse can take a lot of energy out of you as you merge into what is unfolding in your life.

 

Most eclipses are not an easy adjustment and the Conjunction, which is the most powerful, would involve planets in Leo in the degrees indicated, creating a merging of energies depending on what the planets involved might be.  Conjunctions are very powerful, followed by the Opposition. With the opposition, this would involve planets in Aquarius and the Opposition suggests that others seem to be orchestrating what is unfolding-- an end of conditions so something new can begin. 

 

The Squares from Taurus and Scorpio create tension which is challenging enough that it forces you to act to alleviate these conditions.  However, do not fear what is taking hold in life due to these powerful energies in place as they are the harbingers of endings creating what is needed for something new to be put in place in your life.

 

With the Leo New Moon Solar Eclipse letting go and forgiveness, if this is necessary, are prime action for now and serve as a viable solution to any challenges that might be in place during this period.

TIME TO GET AWAY FROM IT ALL

A quick reminder that there are always ways to move away from a situation that does not bring peace into your life.  This is not to say that you should try to escape any life lesson because sooner or later you must deal with the situation and learn the lesson. We can become so overwhelmed by our journey at times that we need to be reminded that it is okay to take a step aside for much needed down time. Take time to inhale and to exhale. Relax!  How long has it been?

 

Take a holiday from life’s stressor or responsibilities.  Walk in the woods, take in nature as its wonderment is far beyond anything we can experience from something manmade.  Its beauty is captivating if we stop to see it.  

 

Stop for a moment, open your eyes and focus on what is right in front of you.  Find a stream, river or lake and sit. Listen to the sounds.  Let them become a part of you!

 

If possible, go on a mini trip. It does not have to be far away, something nearby and inexpensive.  Let go of and stop focusing on shortages. Enjoy yourself. Enjoyment does not have to cost monetarily. You can still be responsible.

 

If getting away for a day or two is impossible, then seize what is available. Sometimes all you need is a short relaxation technique. Meditation is the perfect fix for anxiety. Relaxation should and has to be a part of your life. 

 

Mindfulness and meditation go hand in hand and allows you to adopt a much more passive approach to even stressful situations.

 

A second good practice is to write down what is causing you anxiety. Then write down ways to improve the situation. Likely you already have what you need to aid the situation and reviewing the circumstances on paper helps you to focus.

 

It might be time to get away from it all for the moment. Refocus, create a plan and then put the plan in motion. Situations would not be in place if there were not a lesson to be learned.  Learn and move on!

THE INFLUENCE OF THE SUN IN OUR NATAL CHART

It is said that you can tell quite a bit about an individual just by the Sun, Moon and Ascendant in the birth chart (natal astrology chart). 

 

The Sun reveals who we are on an internal level.  Much will depend on the aspect configurations connected to the sun and the house that it resides in.  However, we all carry much of our inner personality from the influence of the Sun.

 

The Sun also represents the father figure in our life while the Moon represents the mother or nurturing figure. Once again, you must take into consideration the aspects and the house placements of both to get more details on the energies. 

 

The Sun is representative of our goals in life.  There is a huge difference between someone who has their Sun in Aries and someone who has their Sun in Pisces.  Both have completely different paths in life, although they do share the fact that growth is important. With Pisces growth would be through service and spiritual advancement. With Aries, growth comes either through exploration or experience. Aries advancement in pursuits are on a more aggressive manner, or through lessons learned due to failure due to wanting things to take place quickly.

 

The Sun along with the North Node points towards our destiny and the way we will move forward to reach our summit.  Will we move forward in an unusual, eccentric and humanitarian manner (Aquarius) or through secret, internal transformations that might be considered taboo (Scorpio)?

 

The house placement is extremely important as we get a mixture of character traits depending on which house our Sun resides in.  Will we pursue life through communication techniques and teachings (Gemini/3^rd house), or will we pursue life through material advancement and goals that push us to the very top of our objectives especially in our career (Capricorn/10^th house)?

 

The Sun can determine what our health is like.  Is it robust because of influences from Jupiter and is it well aspected by the Ascendant and Mars?

 

Does the Sun have trines to Pluto which offers the potential for powerful regenerative capabilities? 

 

Is the Sun poorly aspected especially by the outer planets, and does it have negative implications from the Ascendant, the sixth and/or twelfth houses?

 

We can learn to adapt if the latter example is the case, although knowing this will help us and make us pay closer attention to our health.

 

Jupiter on the Ascendant can speak of gaining weight and Mars can speak of a fight for survival especially if challenged and close to the Ascendant. 

 

The whole chart must be carefully studied to obtain a clear and concise health analysis. 

 

Mercury must also be applied when reviewing the chart potential by the influence of the Sun as Mercury rules our pattern of thinking and will help define the potential Sun character traits, especially through the way we communicate.

 

Aspects from the Sun to other planets and angles will help define who we are and the way we express our uniqueness. 

 

We must also consider the decants as they will also color the kind of person we are.  Each sign is divided into 3 decants. Each decant is 10°, and are contained within the same element (Air, Water, Fire and Earth). The first 9° 59” would be a double Sun sign emphasis.

 

The influence of the Sun in our natal chart reflects our core self, our ego, our purpose in life, and so much more. The Sun is important, but we are so much more than just our Sun sign.

 

As we can see, the Sun sign is extremely important when it comes to who we are, and in this article we are just touching on the relevance of this extremely important energy in our Natal makeup.

THE UNDERLYING YOU

The way we present ourselves to the outside world changes over life. Some of these changes can be drastic, often resulting from life experiences such as influences from other people’s opinions, life events, making adjustments to ourselves or simply becoming comfortable in our own skin.

 

In some cases, we make changes that are more internal. Others may not even realize them. In other cases, changes take place and we are unaware of them. Other’s comments bring the changes to our attention.

 

We are influenced by those we interact with and can take on their characteristics without being consciously aware of it. We may have habits that are pointed out by others. We then can take heed and make changes, if needed.

 

Whatever changes we make, they have to take place because we place importance on them not because we are trying to please others.

 

As we age and mature into ourselves, hopefully we learn to bend where we need to, stand firm when it’s appropriate and grow and learn from life’s experiences.  You can teach an old dog new tricks, contrary to the old  saying.

 

Life creates changes.  Circumstances create change. Age creates change. The underlying you, however, never changes.  We are still the core person we have always been but we have adapted to live life as needed.

RECAPTURE THE MOMENT

Once the magic of the moment is gone, it is said that it is gone forever. Many believe that life’s blessed moments are here one moment and gone the next. On the other side of the coin, however, many believe that unfavorable moments have full potential to return.  Why is that? 

 

Why is it that many believe misfortune can return yet good fortune is fleeting?

 

We can, once again, relate this to our belief structures, expectations and focus. 

 

Our focus expands. Why then is it commonplace to focus on misfortunate?

 

Look at life through fortunate eyes. Do not believe that good fortune is fleeting but hardship is commonplace.  Stop creating this reality.  If we wish for challenges to disappear, with that very desire, we are focusing on the challenges. As a result, you bring more.  Neither can we ignore the situation as this is, in reality, a focus on not paying attention to what we wish to escape.

 

The only solution is to shift our attention to a benefit of our experience or a blessing we are ignoring because of our negative focus.

 

Live in appreciation not resentment. You are not a victim; you are a student of life. Learn the lesson, appreciate the knowledge and move forward. Appreciation brings more of the same and we begin noticing all the little wonders that surround us.

 

You may on occasion still go down the rabbit hole, but you will be quick to realize it and turn your focus around to recapture the moment, the moment of appreciation.

NEPTUNE SEXTILE NATAL MIDHEAVEN

Transiting Neptune sextile natal Midheaven (MC) speaks directly to creativity connected to goals in life, your life’s path and your career.  This is a positive aspect which insists on assistance from outside resources in reaching your personal goals.  In some cases, this can be quite spiritual in nature due to Neptune’s influence.  It can also be linked to creativity, such as a musician writing a song and finding inspiration in the process that might not have been available prior to this time.

 

Neptune’s inspirational nature can add creative flow to music, acting, and anything connected to visualization or psychic energies.  Meditating on how you want to proceed with your endeavors is highly suggested.  You likely will get insight into how to move forward in ways that you could never have imagined previously.  It is as though a helping hand is guiding you, and you get positive feedback from your efforts.

 

If this is related to your career, you will find that your ideas seem to flow more easily and people may listen and even move ahead with what you are suggesting.  Perhaps, for instance, you are putting together a presentation setting out ways to increase productivity.  Now would be the time to make this suggestion and others will likely pay heed.  Without your utilizing these energies and just sitting back thinking about what a good idea might be, the potential for this energy coming to fruition is unlikely.  Often it is up to you to make things happen. Do not wait for things to fall into your lap and waste the opportunity.

 

If your goals in life or path forward have to do with the psychic world, this would be the time to invest some of your valuable time towards going deeper.  The potential for in-depth analysis is quite possible under these conditions.  Mediation is suggested as mentioned and asking for assistance from deeper sources will likely open doors that otherwise might have been closed.  Depending on your stage of development, it is quite possible for those that are already on this path that they find inspiration and ingrained knowledge surfacing under this aspect.

 

Much will depend on which houses are involved and how Natal Neptune is aspected by other natal planets.  Always look at the Natal potential and other transits to get the full picture on how this will transpire in your life.

 

While transiting Neptune is making a sextile to your Natal MC, it is also making a trine to your Natal IC. As a result, the home and family will also be quite involved as will possibly one or both of your parents.

 

Transiting Neptune Sextile natal Midheaven aligns your career or life’s path with your intuition and creativity. Use the energy available wisely!

ATTENTION TO DETAILS

Some events in life can be quite overwhelming.  We may spend countless time trying to put our lives together only to find that something is missing. It doesn’t all fit together; so what did I forget?

 

You need to pay attention to the details because life can let you know that you missed something.  There are indicators that something is not right, that you need to move ahead or that perhaps you don’t move ahead with your plans.  Do you pay heed to these nudges?

 

Sometimes fear gets in the way and we resist moving forward. Is it fear of failure, lack of confidence, or lack of ambition?

 

Never let fear, laziness or doubt stand in the way of progress. Even if you tried and failed, you will have gained valuable information that sets you up for success on your next attempt.

 

Do not get caught up in fear and worry. Sometimes you need to let life lead.  Other times, you need to charge forward. Pay attention to details. If you fail, welcome the experience and knowledge gained setting you up for later success.

 

We are here to experience and learn. Go for the gusto!
