Solar eclipse in Leo

The coming Solar Eclipse will have a very significant impact on us all. All eclipses shut something down, taking away elements of our lives no longer "true" for us. Leo is the sign of personal love, creativity, self-dramatization, and our heart-felt pleasures. Thus a form of these will be shut down, with the void sure to attract new forms of expressing this energy. Wherever this eclipse falls in our charts is where we can expect long term endings, but also relief, transfiguration, and the joy of knowing we've made it through the night.

Erk. It's on my midheaven.

This could feel something like reuniting with someone we hadn't spoken to in years — feeling ecstatic, insecure and in pain with poignancy. We may over-worry or over-analyze. I think these are signs of love; let's try to leave it at that. There may be some issues of who is playing the father roll. There may also be growth spurts in babies, teens, pregnancies, relationships and with grandparents, too. It may feel awkward as we get to know each other in our advanced states of change; it may be unbearable to wish we hadn't worried for so long.
With North Node and Chiron conjunct in Aquarius, it is possible now to find a sense of resolve around dull yet excruciating pains which lingered in our tribe over decades. Issues we may have thought were hopeless can take a turn now. The next time Chiron is conjunct North Node will be in 2024, when Pluto is entering Aquarius. The comfort we may find with newly defined families or close circles could well play important rolls in our lives for the course of Pluto in Capricorn.

Sun in Fixed Signs–Because this eclipse involves stress aspects from the Sun, Moon, and Mercury in Leo to Jupiter in Capricorn, your responsibilities and obligations overtake your need for self-expression, especially for Leos, but also for the other fixed signs. It is as if you are not seen, not heard and your feelings in the matter don’t seem to count. This is a time to go inward to grasp the heart of the matter while you work through your day-to-day activities. Perhaps this is the time when you decide that certain things just aren’t worth the stress of trying to work them through. Maybe you’ll consider a change of venue in this aspect of your life. Regardless, it won’t be until the first of next year when you can actually enact any changes, which can be frustrating when you are itching to act.
