LEO NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE 2026

LEO NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE 2026

Today, August 12, 2026, we will be experiencing a Leo New Moon Solar Eclipse.  It crosses Greenland, Iceland and Spain and those of us in Canada or the USA will experience a partial view. 

It is closest to the South Node, rather than the North Node, out by about 9° in the same sign (Leo).  Those with planets or angles in the fixed signs (Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio and Leo) within a 3° orb of influence, so 17 to 23 ° of these signs will be the most affected by this major celestial event. 

A Solar Eclipse closer to the South Node than the North Node often makes things quite challenging and pushes you to let go of something that is holding you back.  Without letting go and ending conditions, something new, which is what is being called for, may never materialize. 

Because this is in the sign of Leo at 20°, it has to do with leadership, individuality and/or any creative endeavors you might be involved in, especially anything that might put you in the limelight or draw attention to you.  It will be a time of new beginnings. For a new beginning to take hold, we must let go of something old and outdated. This creates an ending of sorts before we can begin anew.

The effects of this Solar Eclipse will have a lasting impact on those effected. The energies can last up to one year. Astrologers believe that the time the eclipse lasts in hours is equal to the years it will be affecting your life. Most certainly, however, the first six months are of most importance and have profound effects based on the planets being impacted and the houses involved in the chart.

It is time, as with all Leo individuals, to be your true self and if by chance you have been overly busy in the past, you might want to take some time off and enjoy life a little.  Take a holiday from your obligations, have some fun, and take a break.  If you don’t do this, you might feel very drained and worn out.  This eclipse can take a lot of energy out of you as you merge into what is unfolding in your life.

Most eclipses are not an easy adjustment and the Conjunction, which is the most powerful, would involve planets in Leo in the degrees indicated, creating a merging of energies depending on what the planets involved might be.  Conjunctions are very powerful, followed by the Opposition. With the opposition, this would involve planets in Aquarius and the Opposition suggests that others seem to be orchestrating what is unfolding--an end of conditions so something new can begin. 

The Squares from Taurus and Scorpio create tension which is challenging enough that it forces you to act to alleviate these conditions.  However, do not fear what is taking hold in life due to these powerful energies in place as they are the harbingers of endings creating what is needed for something new to be put in place in your life.

With the Leo New Moon Solar Eclipse letting go and forgiveness, if this is necessary, are prime action for now and serve as a viable solution to any challenges that might be in place during this period.

PLUTO SQUARE NATAL PLUTO

The Transit of Pluto square to its Natal positioning usually occurs around the late 30’s but can extend as far as to the age of 60.  Much will depend on the Natal positioning of Pluto in the birth chart and the placement of Pluto during its transit. 

As a side note, transiting Neptune makes a Square to Natal Neptune into the early 40’s and Transiting Uranus makes an Opposition to its Natal position around the age of 41-43.  Finally, Chiron makes its return to its birth position between the age 49 to 51. With the understanding that all of these placements are extremely significant, no wonder this time in life is referred to as the mid-life crisis.

Transiting Pluto Square Natal Pluto

We have already discussed many of these placements in past articles, so we thought we would focus on the transit of Pluto squaring its Natal position. 

Pluto’s action is usually quite intense, although it can make its way forward in a rather subtle manner in the early stages.  Over time, it certainly makes its presence known.  The energies are often attached to psychological matters and often forces us to look deep within at any of the so-called dark or hidden areas of our nature.  These areas are considered taboo, and we may not want to face them.  However, this is the time when we will confront our so-called demons, better still our inner fears.

This aspect is a time of deep self-analysis and transformation when we re-evaluate things, especially how we feel about our personal power (or lack thereof) and the control we think we have over life or the control that we think we lack in our life.  This is often a time of personal crisis, because we must be honest and face that which we may not want to!  How else will we conquer our fears and eliminate things that no longer serve us? 

We must have a deep, honest, open look at what goes on within before we can make changes to those parts of us we allow to be on automatic pilot.  Letting go is of prime importance, as in many cases holding on is futile particularly to those things that stagnate us. Pluto sometimes demands action from us and if we do not act, it will force action onto us in a more dynamic or drastic manner.

It is easy to get caught up in what is taking hold during this astrological aspect, but these are the times when the valuable lessons are in place, and we can learn a great deal.  We come out stronger, more resilient, advanced in our understanding and ready to challenge life in a much more mature manner.  Do not fear transiting Pluto square natal Pluto.  Learn from this aspect. This too will pass, but you need to do the work.  You will come out on the other side a better version of yourself and be able to guide others through some of life’s more tumultuous times because of your personal experience.

SAGITTARIUS NEW MOON 2025

On December 20, 2025, we will be experiencing a New Moon at 28° in the sign of Sagittarius.  Anyone have planets or angles with a three-degree orb of this placement especially by Conjunction or Opposition will be influenced by this placement. 

Sagittarius New Moon 2025

New Moon’s energies signify the beginning of a cycle.  This is a fresh start or a time to plant seeds that will eventually grow, if nurtured, into something worthwhile in the garden of life.  It is a good time to go within and examine what truly matters to you now.  Set your intentions on what is important to you. 

The Sun and the Moon are currently aspected by a Conjunction. The Sun represents our egoic self and the Moon dealing with our sensitivities and emotions. These are now connected and heighten in intensity. These energies can assist us in moving forward when aspected in our natal chart.  Set your intentions, move ahead with your plans and realize the potential available.

With a Sagittarius New Moon in particular, we have the power of Jupiter behind our actions.  Sagittarius is about moving ahead with a positive attitude and with high hopes for the outcome.  Many who have this placement activated in their Natal Chart will feel as though they can’t go wrong.  The road ahead looks promising and nothing will hold them back.

This is a positive way of looking at things, but some things may not go as planned.  You can expect some delays, some challenges along the way and the feeling that you are not sure which way you are heading or whether this plan of yours will actually work out.  This is due to the Squares from Saturn and Neptune in the sign of Pisces currently moving through the Zodiac.

Saturn is at 25° Pisces and tends to restrict and delay and often puts up roadblocks to make the passage more difficult to teach life lessons.  It requires us to work hard, plan ahead, move discretely and carefully.  Advance with the intension of making things as near perfect as possible.  Our hard work usually pays off.  It is essential to apply yourself completed.  The venture likely won’t be an easy one as work is required even though the energies from Sagittarius might feel that way.

Neptune is also in Square to this position and is very close to being direct at 29° Pisces. Neptune can make things or our direction unclear.  Our plans may seem somewhat vague and uncertainty can set in.  We might wonder if we are making the right decision.  We need a reality check and fortunately, Saturn will assist with that.

The houses involved in your personal chart will help define the areas of life involved.  If you happen to have a Natal Aspect between Saturn and Neptune in place, this will intensify the energy coming into force. 

The Sagittarius New Moon 2025 indicates hard work is essential for your goals to reach fruition. Be realistic as you will fail if you make your goals unreachable.  Set your goals, work hard and keep a positive attitude.
