Total Solar Eclipse in Leo

12.8.2026

Sun Moon Mercury and Jupiter In Leo during this eclipse is talking to our hearts. Leo is joined by Jupiter and Mercury as the Moon covers the Sun completely leaving a crown of fire at the top. The royal sign of Leo is revealing our sovereignty.

This eclipse happens in the South Node of Leo also and the south deals with our past and what we brought into this world with us. The North Node in Aquarius is about community and humanity and the South Node in Leo asks how do I show up as an individual and become part of the bigger community but also how do I make it not about me but about just being on Earth. This is a heart eclipse as that is what Leo is all about but the anagram of the word heart is Earth. It’s time to live authentically is the message and to bring honest to goodness kindness out into our world. The days of the X factor fame hungry era we went through in the past is changing and YouTube and Instagram etc in the coming eighteen months will show this.

This eclipse is a door into our hidden heart. What changes do we have to make to honor it. What are we not seeing in our day to day lives that we need to also be thankful for. To live always looking to the future is not a good concept as we then are not manifesting our dream of peace, joy and harmony in the moment we are in – which creates our future! We are being asked ‘who is this person I am’. It’s a big question as the answer is not entirely clear but it will become more so over the next months.

The portal this eclipse represents will open a light heartedness to our way of thinking and moving away from fear based dogma but we may see those in authority move to one side. Leo is in its element and it is the regal heart that is sovereign.

The light literally goes out during this eclipse for the roughly two minutes or so and we are in a void for that moment. What will come to light in your heart? What will be shown to you during this time that you need to see? The heart centred eclipse is one that stirs us to embrace something in us we are not familiar with. It is what portals do. They show us something within ourselves we need to be aware of. We can take that gift and hold it now. Eclipse Season goes on to play out over the next six months or so and with this first one being In Leo it will also connect to the South Node as I say.

In the shadow of this eclipse where is your lionheart? The courage to be you is what the astrology is calling you to. This is your curtain call. It is not way off in a distant prediction of the future. It is as your own awakening to self is happening in the days weeks and months ahead.

It’s not about being famous or being seen. Its about seeing yourself honestly and asking where are you comfortable with being you? And then step by step go outside that comfort zone and reach out to others with your authentic heartfilled self!

The lion heart is being born but it’s always existed within you! The portal of this eclipse is activating what you brought here to be born!

Make a wish under the eclipse and as the light returns know that it was answered by how your heart feels lighter and brighter!
