The emotional dust-ups of the past months, were not in vain. Chances are you’ve made it through, a little weathered, but stronger. And what you need at this time, is exactly what a New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse at 18° Leo will bring. It’s time to restore your confidence in life once more. The exact time of this lunation is Saturday August 11 at 2:56 am PST.
Putting it simply, Leo is the sign of creative expression. That aspect of us that wants our inner world to be seen by the outer world. We creatively express when we dare to sculpt our lives in a manner that is true to our hearts. Lately we’ve been distracted from our creation. We’ve been tending to our deeper emotions. This New Moon Solar Eclipse will call us back to our role as creators. A process of restoring faith in our ability to create the life we want, is underway. Wherever Leo falls in your birth chart will provide further insights on where this new confidence will arise for you personally.
Playing a role in the New Moon Solar Eclipse is Mercury retrograde. We are experiencing a slowing down or wonkiness of all things communication, transportation, and technological. While Mercury retrogrades in Leo, the idea that thoughts do create our reality is even more apparent. What we believe we can create or what we believe we cannot….. will show-up in some way during this time. A good use of this energy would be to start a new practice of positive self-talk. What we say to ourselves, matters. If you don’t believe you can approach your life in a new creative way…. your life will seek to make you right.
Adding to this New Moon story is a square to Jupiter in Scorpio. Half-way through its transit, Jupiter is digging up what we’ve buried. Sometimes the things we keep buried are exactly the treasure we need to bring along the journey. Because Jupiter is in a hard aspect, it won’t be easy to see the utility of reclaiming these old ghosts. However, it is acceptance of the not so pretty aspects of ourselves that is the true gift. How will you creatively incorporate your Jupiter in Scorpio story into this new beginning? One possible answer….continue to face your shadows.
Let’s talk about the eclipse.
Eclipses are times when the luminaries (the Sun or the Moon) go offline and then return. There is an abrupt power outage. We are taken offline so that dramatic changes can be made. Eclipses have a way of feeling like a course correction. This partial solar eclipse in Leo, is disrupting our ego. If we’ve gotten off the path of who we truly are, we will know so soon enough. Overall, expect to feel a new sense of inspiration and possibility in whatever opens up.
A final note. This all plays out with 6 (out 8 possible) planets retrograde. Which means, planetary energies are functioning inwardly. It’s time to restore, review, release, reflect, reconnect, remember and perhaps rework.
Whatever this New Moon and Partial Solar Eclipse brings to your doorsteps, my greatest hope for you is a renewed sense of safety in bringing your whole heart into creating a life you love.
