Total Solar Eclipse of 2008 August 01

On Friday, 2008 August 01, a total eclipse of the Sun is visible from within a narrow corridor that traverses half the Earth. The path of the Moon's umbral shadow begins in Canada and extends across northern Greenland, the Arctic, central Russia, Mongolia, and China. A partial eclipse is seen within the much broader path of the Moon's penumbral shadow, which includes northeastern North America, most of Europe and Asia.

Solar Eclipse and New moon

August 1, 2008 there is a Total Solar Eclipse / New Moon in Leo at 9 degrees.

New moons in astrology signify new beginnings or fresh new energy available to you. Rich fertile soil within the subconscious.



If you wanted to create healthier habits, this may be a wonderful time. An added layer is the Solar Eclipse - which can heighten the New Moon energy; energizing, activating, warming things up.

Solar or Sun symbolically in astrology reminds us of vital, alive, and life-giving energy, the masculine or yang consciousness.

Just think of the physical sun and its qualities. In ancient times, there was tremendous superstition and fear around eclipses. In modern times, eclipses symbolize powerful portals of energy for transformation, change and awareness.


Sun and Moon will be hand in hand in the astrological sign of Leo - having a unified focus. Some themes and potentials of Leo are: individual style, expression, heart/romance/love, play, innocence, dignity, passion, royalty, drama, creative flair, generosity, laughter, inner child, children, heart chakra, compassion and leadership. Some off balance qualities of Leo: arrogance, narcissism, dominating, overly self-centered, childish, willful, pride, glamour gone awry, melodrama

The Conscious and Sub Conscious are looking to work together, bringing you in tune with what you would “love” to say, do, act or express.

Listen to the wisdom of the heart.

What would you feel passionate doing? It is a major opportunity for changes or shifts in Consciousness.

Generally speaking, Solar Eclipse energies unfold over the next six to twelve months.

Solar Eclipses tend to repeat degrees every 19 years. From August 1, 2008 (9 deg. Leo) look back 19 years and see what major transition, event or transformation that unfolded for you. You may get a peek into upcoming themes or events. New Moon/Solar Eclipse is like a super energized, wild card energy - especially that its in a fire element (Leo). There may be spontaneous surprises in store or you may be the one giving them.


How does the New Moon/Solar Eclipse directly connect with you?


If you have your Natal Chart, then look to see where 9 degrees Leo lands in the chart. That is the house and or planets it will tend to symbolically “activate” within your Consciousness. It will “light” up the area of your life or themes. I can only share with you generalized view here on the blog. If you want more personalized information but don’t know how to read your natal chart - call on a trusted Astrologer for a consultation as to how the new moon/solar eclipse will directly relate to your natal chart.
