Well, it's a busy day with the 'EVE' of the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Leo that will occur tomorrow at 5:58 AM EDT. Remember last year (here in the U.S.) on August 21, 2017 where we were able to see (with special eyewear) the New Moon Solar Eclipse? Remember all of that excitement? We were on a boat in Perryville, MO right on the line of perfect viewing. What an awesome day! The day before last years New Moon Solar Eclipse in Leo we had a wonderful aspect with Mars sextile Jupiter (the cheerleader with insane optimism). This year we have five (5) lunar aspects the day before the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Leo.

I'm bringing this up to you so you can look at the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Leo to see a pattern. Last year's New Moon Solar Eclipse in Leo was pretty dang memorable for a lot of us. What was going on with you? What were you working on then? The New Moon in Leo is all about SELF-IMPROVEMENT. You see my dear little mentators, since Leo has this need to be appreciated and admired, there is a drive to constantly improve the self. While this Leo Moon has penchant for drama, it would be intolerable for the rest of us if their desire for self-improvement weren't so damn sincere. Your job is look at the area of your chart ruled by Leo where you might have a tendency to be dramatic because you have a 'need' to be admired and appreciated in that area of your chart.

So while last year we had Mars sextile Jupiter as a cheerleader for us, this year we have five (5) lunar aspects yankin' our chain and pulling us in different directions emotionally. All of these lunar aspects could easily throw a monkey wrench in the cogwheels and cause many to yell out "IT'S THE ECLIPSE!" This happened because of THE ECLIPSE! That happened because of THE ECLIPSE! I can't do it because of THE ECLIPSE! It didn't work because of THE ECLIPSE! It happened because of THE ECLIPSE! Oh for Heaven's sake! Enough already! I'll tell you what, there are plenty of people around the world who are going to carry on and make Life work for them and they are going to have a great experience and not even know there was AN ECLIPSE! Your attitude while tuning into and tuning out of energy is key. I can roll through my week and NEVER look at the Void of Course Moon Calendar, but by golly I can sure tell when the Moon is Void of Course, so I adjust and recalculate what I am doing based on that intuitive feel. I'll bet that's what the intuitively optimistic people do who don't follow Astrology. But it sure is great to follow Astrology so we can calculate ahead of time and prepare.

The Moon is Leo today is aspecting five (5) planets - an opposition to Mars, a square to Uranus, a sextile to Venus, a square to Jupiter and a conjunction with Mercury. The first three (3) of these aspects will have passed by 6:00 AM EDT and the last two (2) aspects will occur just before Midnight tonight.
