Leo Eclipse

Leo Solar Eclipse 8.11.18
Early this morning, the Sun and the Moon united to bring a Solar Eclipse and a New Moon in Leo. In order to have an Eclipse, the Sun and Moon cross each other near the Ecliptic, an event that does not happen at every New Moon. Eclipses bring on a certain intensity as the Sun and Moon enter each others energy fields and shift things visually and internally. Can you feel it?

Leo is symbolized by the Child, the Performer and Kings and Queens. Ruled by the Sun, it is a vibrant, beaming, radiant sign that exudes warmth. Often associated with creativity and play, this is a fun sign to be around. As the Sun lights up whatever it touches, Leo can have a large glowing presence, seeking to see that big light reflected back. As we know in the solar system every Planet orbits around the Sun, making this sign the attract of our life force energy. Wherever we have Leo in our chart, we are called to get creative, playful and express ourselves.

Under this Solar Eclipse energy, we find that there is a concentration of energy in Leo. As it is around a New Moon, typically that means a New beginning where we can plant our intentions to bloom at Full Moon. As this Eclipse occurs near the North Node of the Moon, it's aim is to make shifts to propel us towards our future. Where might you be holding yourself back and need to shine? Is there creative expression that is just waiting to be given birth?

Solar Eclipses can create outward life changes that may be unexpected. Often life force energy will fade out (death) or arise (birth). Pay attention to whatever is being born and what is falling away may no longer serve you anymore.

Each of us is a unique being having a particular energetic combination as the chart cast from the moment of your birth reflects. You were born to exude the light from within, that spark of divine creation that is always with you. How can you empower that life force and let it loose? Honoring your individual makeup through shining outward your playful essence fosters growth for the rest of your chart. Shine on You Crazy diamond!

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on you target for faraway laughter
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon
Shine on you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light
Shine on you crazy diamond
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision
Rode on the steel breeze
Come on you raver, you seer of visions
Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine
