Oops. Actually intended to post these as a page (as now top right).

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.
