There is a Total Eclipse of the Sun on August 1, 2008 at 10 degrees of Leo at 3:13 AM MST. This is a South Node Eclipse and there is more of a focus on relationships and partnerships. The ball is in the other person’s court for the next six months and you may need to put others’ needs in front of your own. There is also a theme of separation with this eclipse. This summer, you may walk away from something that you were not able to end in the beginning of the year. During this time be careful of disclosing secrets, because they are more likely to come out into the open. Those born around the 1st or 2nd of any month will be most affected by this eclipse. If you are a Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius or Taurus get ready for big changes!

This is a Saros Series 10 South Eclipse. It began at the South Pole in 1178 AD. This eclipse energy is a repeat of solar eclipses that happened in 1972 and 1990. For many of us a negative situation that has been going on for quite a while may suddenly clear up in the next six months. The total eclipse is visible over Northern Canada, Greenland, Siberia and China.
