I have a blog on the Solar Eclipse It will be powerful but you have to remember, it will take close to 3 years to unfold! It is in the Saros Series, in the sign of Leo which is fire. The Great American Total Solar Eclipse will take place on August 21, 2017 and will be in 28 degrees Leo. The eclipse will fall primarily across the United States which is why it is being called ‘The Great American Solar Eclipse’. This eclipse will fall on Houston in Texas and stretch down to Mexico as well as up into Canada as it will lie on the Midheaven and it is one in a series of eclipses that happen every 18 years or so.

Eclipses fall in patterns or series, and this one of part of a group called the Saros Series. This kind of solar eclipse usually affects our personal relationships and makes them feel fraught and difficult. It also tends to make us act without thinking things through and we may make decisions based on incorrect information, where things are being hidden from us. An eclipse in the Saros Series also usually causes issues with health and can make those affected feel exhausted.

If we look at the chart for Washington, DC we can see that the Leo New Moon will be in the Ninth House and is conjunct with the Node Mars which is also in Leo and trine Saturn in Sagittarius trine Uranus in Capricorn. As we can see, this is a very fiery aspect and it is actually called a Fire Grand Trine in astrology. The trine is also in a kite formation as Uranus is opposite Jupiter and Jupiter is square Venus and in opposition with Pluto. This, in turn, forms a Cardinal Grand Cross.

This Leo New Moon with is conjunct with the natal chart of President Donald Trump’s Mars and his Ascendant.

An eclipse that is conjunct Mars causes a fiery situation. It makes people angry and prone to arguments or at its worst, it can even cause violent behavior. This aspect also provokes hasty behavior and accidents and piles on the stress for those it affects
