Solar Eclipse - August 21st 2017
Of course I can! Let’s dive right into it! (Warning: This will be a long post)
So this moon has a lot of crazy stuff going on. First off, it will be happening on August 21st 2017, and it is a total solar eclipse of the sun and moon both in Leo and black moon.Â
So what exactly is happening? What makes this one so special? Well my friends this is a total solar eclipse! The moon will completely cover the sun on this day for approximately 2-2.5 minutes. The last total solar eclipse was June 8, 1918… a whopping 99 years ago! These are not a casual occurrence.Â
Who can see it? Everyone in North America plus parts of South America, Europe, and Africa will see at least a partial solar eclipse! The total eclipse will past from Oregon to South Carolina. Here is a representation of the path of totality, or the Moon’s umbral shadow, according to NASA!
Now that’s pretty cool right? But for us witches and astrology enthusiasts alike, there’s another awesome detail. This eclipse is between a sun and moon both in Leo! Not only that, but we also have Mars in Leo as well, allowing for a great deal of passion to accumulate for this event.Â
The sun and moon together will create a trine (or create a triangle/be about 120 degrees apart) with Saturn and Uranus. A trine symbolizes three planets supporting one another! With Saturn in Sagittarius promoting balance and growth in a disciplined manner, we seek long term experience and wisdom. Saturn takes its time, allowing us to really soak in this eclipse for the coming months or even years. On the other hand, Uranus is in Aries, encourages revolution and new innovation. Generally, when Uranus transits trine Sun, there is little that can be negative. Now is the prime time to plunge into new territory with courage.Â

Solar eclipses also cause this really cool thing called the Allais Effect. This may bring along a sense of stillness or uncertainty, and supposedly pendulums will swing strangely. This deals with an interesting gravitational phenomenon! Try to stay in tune with your senses and see if you feel anything interesting.
Eclipses bring about change, intense transformation, and renewal. This is a great time to work with the darker parts of ourselves to allow a brighter self to shine, so one can also do some shadow work, binding/cursing, spirit work and self reflection. Do whatever you must do to leave darkness behind.
Leo Sun and New Moon are a great time for self-empowerment, self-esteem, starting something new, and taking the reins on your own life and gaining control. More about the astrological aspects above.
Black Moons are similar to New Moons as they are great for banishing, cleansing, renewal, cursing, and planting the seed for whatever you want to grow in your life, except this moon will be an enhanced version of that with more focus on our own shadows and negativity as well as binding, banishing, and renewal. Embrace your darkness so that you can unlock strengths.
Overall, I’d say this event will be amazing for some self renewal and major banishment of negativity.

Happy solar eclipse and black moon!
Remember, if you are going to watch the eclipse, wear proper eclipse viewing glasses. Only during the full totality itself can you remove them. IF YOU ARE UNSURE, THEN DO NOT REMOVE THEM AT ALL. I would suggest only removing them if you are in a designated place specifically for viewing with a professional. Stay safe!
