The new moon in Leo is exact on August 12 at 1:36 p.m. eastern. It is also a total solar eclipse visible in Greenland, Iceland, northern Russia, the Atlantic Ocean, Spain, and a small corner of Portugal. It will be visible as a partial eclipse in portions of North America and other locations. In places where the eclipse is visible, the eclipse begins at 11:34 a.m., the maximum eclipse will be at 1:46 p.m., and the eclipse ends at 3:57 p.m., all eastern times.
New moons are about new beginnings and the solar eclipse strengthens that energy manyfold. Instead of setting intentions to manifest something new, it may be best for you to deal with whatever comes your way naturally. You may have already seen some significant changes brewing for you.
With this eclipse being in the sign of Leo, pay attention to themes such as creative projects, children, pets, your role as a leader, ego, and self-confidence. With the south node currently in Leo, as well, the goal is to steer clear of Leo’s shadow side, such as feeling entitled and being self-centered, bossy, and overly dramatic.
Through it all, remember that Leo is also known for having a big heart. Think of the Strength card in tarot, which is associated with the zodiac sign of Leo. Despite its mighty roar, Leo loves intensely and wants to be loved in return.
Start by loving yourself unconditionally and tame your insecurities to the point where it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks of you. True confidence doesn’t need an audience.
