NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE on AUGUST 12th 2026

 20 degrees LEO


We have a beautiful Solar Eclipse in Leo happening with this New Moon. Leo is a beautiful sign that loves the spotlight.


Leo doesn't just want to accomplish, they want other people to see their accomplishments. This is the sign that rules our ego after all.


If you struggle to be seen or get the credit you deserve, then this Eclipse can really help you stand up and be seen. But if you are pretty good at getting the recognition you desire then this Moon can push into some diva like behavior.


Eclipses have a tendency to take us from one reality to another reality in the blink of an eye. A good time to embrace change and trying new things.


Leo is very charismatic and dramatic. Leo wants a rich and full love-life. So this Moon may bring in some kind of new relationships or you and your spouse start to plan date nights again.


I love the creative energy of this Leo Moon Eclipse. Maybe explore some kind of exploration in the arts. Take a pottery class or go back to your needlepoint. You might even get back into some old hobby you have not had time for or you take the first steps toward a new hobby that is fun and exciting.


Leo energy is all about children and grandchildren, so make some special memories with your family.
