Astrology: Eclipse in Leo August 1st 2008
For the astrology of the Total Solar Eclipse in Leo tomorrow, and general inspiration, please see this new article by Eric Francis.
The New Moon is at 10:12:34 UT tomorrow at 9° Leo 31′49″ (minor planet chart here). The time of Maximum Eclipse, i.e., the time the Moon’s shadow comes closest to aligning with the centre of the Earth, is a few minutes later at 10:21:09 UT. The Moon then goes on to occult nearby Mercury at 15:36:11 UT (12° Leo 52′55″).
This eclipse is conjunct Mercury, square Asbolus and Vesta in Taurus, and opposite Nessus in Aquarius. Please also see Kirsti’s article here for more on those.
Full details of the path of the Moon’s shadow, and when and where the eclipse will be visible, are here, and there will be a live webcast here.
Gorgeous graphic right: Alys’s Universe by Alys, my favourite artist.
Hey Alys! That’s a beautiful piece of art / graphic art that you’ve created there. I like the 12 stars and the big Sun. It looks like a Japanese tarot card and is very lovely. I hope to see more of your artwork soon!
love,
your secret uncle,
Eric Francis
