August 11, 2018 Solar Eclipse In Leo






Our third eclipse within a month’s time will be a  solar eclipse on August 11, and it occurs at 18 degrees and 34 minutes Leo. Eclipses usually come in pairs, but on a fairly rare occasion we will experience a third eclipse within a short period of time. This eclipse will be visible on the northern part of North America, in Greenland, in Northern Europe and north-eastern Asia. Eclipses generally affect the masses - events that affect most people in a large area or even worldwide. Since this eclipse occurs in leadership oriented Leo, this eclipse could affect world leaders (including the President of the USA), royalty, and other central figures. The hard aspects tend to show threats. Jupiter in the mix shows inflated expectations, exaggerations, and over-confidence. Mercury is in apparent retrograde, so confusion, misunderstandings, and other communications problems are present.


For the US, this eclipse will affect the President and our own personal interests. Overconfidence and exaggeration is a problem for the President, and plans are probably not well thought out or realistic. Problems with the law and the courts is indicated and some of those problems might have to do with home front security issues. Pluto inconjunct the eclipse point indicates that security forces - such as the FBI - are involved. Saturn in hard aspect to the eclipse point indicates some problems with business interests. Neptune in the eighth potentially points to the death of a glamorous and powerful movie star. The chart shows problems for the automobile industry and shows that industry in a depressed and restricted state. Saturn square Venus in the third also shows communications problems and issues with the media. Saturn in the fifth house shows that there are issues for children and creative efforts that need to be dealt with. The high tech industry fares well, however. Workers are angry (but hesitant to take action), and that anger could be ignited by sudden and unpredictable moves made by the executive. Sexual relationships are favored in this chart, and the general relationship between men and women may improve. Jupiter in favorable aspect to Pluto (in the sixth) might indicate that the unemployment rate remains low. Foreign nations are also irritated with us and could become quite angry with sudden and unexpected moves made by the executive.

As always, this eclipse will affect you personally if you have planets and/or points conjunct or opposite the eclipse point (only a two degree orb). Those planets or points between 17 degrees and 21 degrees of Aquarius or Leo are included. Eclipses are Uranian in nature in that what happens is unexpected, and you might not even be certain as to what is happening for six months. For a solar eclipse, it takes about a year for the event to completely mature. Whether the eclipse is experienced as positive or negative depends on the planet that is conjoined or opposed, it’s place in your chart, the condition that the planet is in, and whether and how you might have prepared for what is happening (i.e. free will). If you’d like to know if you have planets or points that fall into this range, let me know. For most people, it will be experienced simply as a New Moon type event. Those are generally felt as the start of something new or a new beginning.
