Understanding the Total Solar Eclipse
A cosmic reset of identity and power
When a Total Solar Eclipse occurs in Leo, the spotlight turns toward leadership, identity, and creative power.
A solar eclipse marks a powerful new beginning. The Sun represents vitality, purpose, and self expression. Leo is the sign of courage, visibility, creativity, and the heart. When the Sun is temporarily eclipsed in Leo, it creates a rare moment where old expressions of identity fade so that a new, more authentic self can emerge.
This is a cosmic reset of confidence and purpose.
