August of 2026 is eclipse season, and the first eclipse (of two) is a solar eclipse at 20 degrees Leo. This total solar eclipse will sweep across Greenland, Iceland, and northern Spain, ending just before sunset. It is the first total eclipse visible in mainland Europe since 1999. Totality will last up to 2 minutes and 18 seconds. Observers across North America and Europe will experience a partial eclipse. This eclipse will affect world leaders, the creative arts and industry, children, and romance.
For the USA, this eclipse will affect the law and law firms, the courts, the legislative branch, the airline industry, foreign cultures and countries. The effects will be mainly positive as the eclipse point trines Saturn. It should be good for commerce and business. However, Jupiter/Mercury are opposite Pluto in this chart. So, there could be some power struggles to contend with. And, the election in November should be contentious (as always). Mars is squaring Venus, so there could be more sexual scandals and the Epstein files are likely to be focused on in Congress and the nation. Venus is trining Uranus and some sudden, surprising and unexpected relationships could occur. These relationships should be quite deep and powerful as well because Pluto is trining both planets - Uranus and Venus - forming a grand trine. Barbault’s basket is at work here as well because Neptune is in early Aries. High tech partnerships and takeovers could be impressive, and those partnerships or resulting outfits/corporations could become quite powerful. Chiron is in the sixth house, so we could have some widespread health issues and problems in the health industry. The nation may need to work on past issues and wounds. The unemployment rate could increase fairly significantly. This eclipse squares Trump’s natal midheaven, so his popularity continues to be quite low,
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 18 degrees Aquarius or Leo and 22 degrees 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, its 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, the eclipse will be experienced simply as a New Moon type event. Those are generally felt as the start of something new or a new beginning.
