The second Eclipse season of 2026 reaches its peak on August 12 with a powerful Solar Eclipse at 20° of Leo. This Eclipse arrives alongside the South Node - a cosmic release point - inviting us to shed the layers of our identity that no longer reflect who we are becoming. And yet, despite its releasing nature, this Eclipse carries an extraordinarily supportive energy.
A grand fire trine connects the Solar Eclipse with Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius and asteroid Vesta in Aries - two fierce feminine archetypes of wild sovereignty and sacred devotion. This is an Eclipse that burns away the old with grace rather than force, guided by the untamed wisdom of the feminine… release has never felt so empowering!
