I had to start a new thread on this! The New Moon eclipse is on 9.31 Leo. My North Node is 9.29 Leo with Venus at 10.26 Leo! It feels very precious to me to have this so very close to the North Node/Venus conjunction, as if I'm being rewarded for opening my heart and expressing love - which after all is what Leo is about!
I had to come back to modify this post quickly as I've just read the Sabian symbol for this degree. It is beautiful - "Early morning dew sparkles as sunlight floods the fields". I've read that the degree symbolises "the exalted feeling that rises within the soul who has successfully passed through a long night that has tested his strength and faith".
I feel that this eclipse has been affecting me for the last few weeks, that I've been tuned into the energy. I've been staying at a friend's house, in the country, covering her family business whilst she and her husband were away. They overlook fields - something I miss living in a town centre. Every morning and evening I looked out of the bedroom window to see fields, and on one very clear evening I saw both Venus and Jupiter in the sky - which was awesome.
And last night, as I was preparing to leave, a dragonfly visited, and sat on the outside of the window in the room where I was reading. It seemed to want to stay. Dragonfly signifies irridescence, moving between the worlds of water and air, and allowing magic into your life, and encouraging you to take flight and show off your individual colours. I can't think of a more appropriate creature to symbolise the energy of this New Moon in Leo.

Ariesmoon! Those are lovely images indeed. Thank you. This is a powerful eclipse and a potent symbol of new beginnings. Looking to the place in the natal chart were 9 degrees Leo is can indicate the area of life were we will be most open to fresh, creative and courageous starts. With the conjunction on your Venus/Node I would say 'someone's coming to dinner'... Remember that an eclipse is active 3 days before and after the event AND a month before or after the event so look to what was happening 30 days ago and circle Sept 1 on your calendar too. This lunar event is opposite my moon at 10 Aquarius in the 6th. Where is it for everyone else? Let's note here the events now, and next month, for reference! Thanks for this post, Warmly, Kim

yeah, wow - I love that sabian symbol too - and lately I've been singing a song from a musical I did when I was a teenager - Oklahoma! ...'there's a bright golden haze on the meadOW...oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day' etc - I hadn't sung the song for years and it spontaneously came to me a few weeks back and now I'm singing it every day when I read the Sabian for today's eclipse/new moon it made perfect sense..especially since the eclipse is sq my peregrine taurus sun (symbol for which is a woman watering flowers in the garden) and trine my tenth house Venus - I'm having a moment of reevaluation in the areas of values/self worth and vocation (all second house stuff). The song seemed to conjure a time of happiness and innocence - from an era of my life when it didn't occur to me to see reasons why I couldn't achieve what I wanted to. the dragonfly is amazing - I've loved them for a while now, as you can see from my avatar and haiku - when I was having my 'long dark night of the soul' I'd go walking along a creek where there were dragonflies and little white butterflies that seemed to say 'don't ever give up hope'. They are such powerful images of evolution and survival... well, as far as this eclipse ending an era, I feel strongly that events of the past month are pushing me toward having renewed confidence in my talents and strengths - to believe in myself. circling that date, Kim - I look forward to whatever comes next! joy! pm

~ Visit MrEclipse.com! I may not be in China to witness this event, but I still feel like I'm sitting on top of an energy vortex! Where I am physically sitting right now on this planet, the eclipse will occur exactly on the horizon, one minute after sunrise (6:14:29 AM ET), with 09 Leo 20 rising on the ascendant of the eclipse chart. My own nodes line up along the horizon and my natal ascendant aligns with the MC. At this spot on the earth, the vertex of the eclipse chart conjuncts the composite ascendant with my bf. As if this eclipse wasn't enough, my love and I have lots of other interesting transits going on right now, as well. Listing only conjunctions/oppositions - My contacts... NATAL 10th/4th HS: NNode 11 Leo 15 PoF 11 Leo 01 Sat 11 Aqu 22 PROGRESSED: NNode 09 Leo 05 Sat 09 Aqu 25 SOLAR ARC: Ceres 09 Leo 27 2008 SOLAR RTN: Mars 09 Leo 24 Here is the actual event chart for my location. Note the Vertex / Pluto conjunction to the galactic core. Surely there are some powerful people that will be born here, and around the world, in just in few hours! I feel like heading to the hospital to meet them! But I will mark the hour alone with my thoughts and my hawthorn tree (my symbol of hope!).

What great posts I'm so glad I started this thread! I'd love someone to come to dinner Kim, I'll report back on that!
Two quick things that have made me smile this morning - the eclipse here in the UK, in London, starts at 09.33 British Summer Time, and when the eclipse is total it's at 09.32 Leo. And I rent DVDs through an online rental company and I never know what's coming next. I've just had an email to say that the one arriving today is "In the Shadow of the Moon". I just love this synchronicity!
I hadn't even thought to look at composite or solar return charts - I was dazzled by the connection to Venus/North Node in my natal chart. I'll have a look!
Just remembered I have asteroid Terpsichore very close to Venus (at 8 Leo) so also conjunct the eclipse. About a week ago, about the day of my Venus return (which is also significant!) I spent a good hour dancing, alone, to music I hadn't listened to in ages. I had no plan to dance, it just happened, and I loved every minute.
The eclipse at 9.32 Leo is the antiscia of my Mars at 20.40 Taurus and I'm definitely conscious of that, with an increased desire to move, dance and sing - anyone else with planets around this degree of Taurus may well be feeling the eclipse effects there too!

well, this one's in my 10th, 7 degrees from squaring my 2nd house scorpio sun, trining my sagittarius moon-mercury in the 3rd & chiron in aries on the DSC. i'm preparing 4 public presentations for this month and the next, and it feels like there's a chance to enjoy this being seen business. to i suppose enjoy the performative aspect of the events - some dramatic imagery has been coming to illustrate some points, and part of me has resisted weaving them in.
since my dad exited this plane(t) last october, i've been looking for ways to feel good about being a little performer, a persona he exhibited a lot as a radio dj, mc, and the like. actually enjoying the public side of my work would fit it.
and since it's leo/10th, and about moon stuff, and trining my moon-mercury in sagittarius, i also admit that some bits of creative writing have been leaking out lately, memes swimming about my brain, memes hoping to be the opening of a story or novella or something. i've been so focused on developing the lilith & lucifer work, taking things so seriously, i suppose something fun like that might be what's needed now.

For me this is as much about what stops me having fun and expressing myself, it took a shamanic drumming session last night for that to come out! Whenever anything hits my Venus/North node exactly, it also hits 10th house Saturn/South Node exactly by opposition, and 11th Chiron/Jupiter in Pisces by quincunx. Both of these aspects seem to hit Venus in Leo hard, they're certainly challenges. A past (and some of the present!) life which didn't allow me to have fun (Saturn/south node). The Chiron/Jupiter in Pisces tendency to be self-sacrificing and too soft-hearted with some friends, which mean I bury what I want to say, and fall for a sob story (I've just done that right now, the phone rang whilst I was typing this!)
So the eclipse is a challenge to me to recognise these behaviours, and start to detach from what's no longer needed, so that I can allow the full Leo potential in the Venus/North Node to shine.

Hello All,
The eclipse season of July-August 2008 produces a solar eclipse at 10 deg Leo on 1 August. This eclipse is from Saros Series 10 South which began on 10 March 1179 and will not complete until 13 April 2423.
According to Bernadette Brady: This saros series concerns itself with breaking out of a very negative situation where no hope can be seen to a more positive space containing many options. A worry that may have been affecting a person will suddenly clear
Indeed this is the case with me involving new love interest that started about 9 months ago and progressing at snails pace. No way to get out of it with lot of connectivity in our synastry. We both have been struggling with no dynamic interaction for very valid and practical reasons (my natal Sat in Sag exactly square her Ven in Pisces). There was a serious setback on 15th July 2008 caused by her as I ignored her for the past couple months. My self-respect and self worth were threatened through a third party. The reason, her BML in pisces exactly oppose my Moon, Psyche exact conjunct in Virgo (very tight, few seconds orb) and BML hates to be ignored. That was so when transit Mars opposed her BML.
Highly disturbed though, I kept my nerve and continued to follow my own wisdom of silence pointing to her to change her style of Pisces else nothing will progress. There was tension and lot of dis-ease from mid-july till the solar eclipse. The fun is that this kind of development normally induce a fight leading to break of relation but I did not loose my composure. Strange, I don't care/spare anybody who threat me for no fault of mine. I understand she was worried that I go away permanently (I hinted indirectly) because of the threat, realized the blunder and desperate to amend and re-connect. I received an SMS yesterday (the Friendship day) from undisclosed person. The message amply described the current situation and the bond between us. It is she I guess, but do not feel like taking any risk. First, I want to see off the forth coming Mars Uranus opposition (in my 3-9 axis) on Wednesday the 6th August 2008.
No doubt there is marked ease in the situation since 1st august. I expect lot of communication in near future since the eclipse point completed grand trine with her natal Mer in Aries and my Mer her south node exact conjunct in Sag (very tight less than 2 deg orb).
So much more between us to write about. Right now I am concentrating on the eclipse point and this thread suits to write something about the silent dynamics between us.
Any other ideas and experiences folks ?
Love Kris

My bf and I were on a holiday that day and the New Moon was on my natal Uranus in 7 and Mars on my natal Mars?merc in 8, opposed by tr Uranus. We were eating on a sweet little terrace and I really flew of the handle and started a thunder and lightning fight, short and electric, and post a very romantic afternoon. We hardly ever fight that way, usually it's the quiet stubborn but keep talking kind of fight, and it was kind of liberating. We made up soon! I wonder why Uranus opp natal Mars has not made my usually big and quick temper bigger and quicker? I'm quite happy, could that be it?
O, similar to Prima's case, the New Moon squared my bf's Tau Venus/Merc. Love, Juliet

I think being happy modifies everything! The happier we are, the less the ripples of Uranus, Mars etc affect us in ways we don't like! Happy simply makes more happy! xxx Kim
