Leo New Moon and Total Solar Eclipse on 1 August 2008

For Leo's

The focus this month is on yourself and your finances. This eclipse is causing you to redefine who you are, and this will be of major importance in the coming months and years. You are going through something of a metamorphosis. Also of importance this month will be your finances – which may not be doing very well, perhaps you feel underpaid and over worked, or even you are overspending with regard to your relationships. Don't let this get you down, as you may be feeling depressed and moody at times. Rudyard Kipling once wrote, “If you can meet with triumph and tragedy and treat those impostors just the same...” This is a good quote for you to remember during this month.

You should do very well at work, and your work ethic could very well impress your boss. This will no doubt bring you an increase in your reputation among those with whom you work and socialize. With regard to love relationships it is important that you do not get to swept away in romanticism. It is important for you to see your lover for whom they are as a person, rather than the ideal you may have fallen in love with.

You may be experiencing some health issues, in particular take care of what type of foods you eat, as your stomach may be causing you some trouble, be careful of knee injuries as well.

You will be looking more seductive than ever and you will enjoy much enjoyment from your friends and social events – just be sure not to over do it!

Seeing as Solar eclipses are so important - this is a brief synopsis for all of the other signs

Aries: Issues involving entertainment and your children are coming to the forefront – so plan on having more fun over the next several months, and if you have been trying to have a child, you may very well become a parent soon enough!

Taurus: Issues involving your home will be important to you during the next few months. Perhaps issues involving the finances of your home are not doing well, or perhaps you may move to a new location.

Gemini:You may find developments among your siblings and find that you may be making many short distance trips during this time. Be careful of how you communicate, as you may not express yourself correctly during this time.

Cancer: As stated last month issues involving your finances will continue to be important for you over the coming months and years. The USA is a Cancer ruled country and as such over the coming years its finances will be seen to decline.

Virgo: Virgo's are going through a particularly difficult time, due to Mars and Saturn transits activating sensitive eclipse points from last last year. Virgo's may be feeling rather frustrated with their lot in life, but should use this as a learning lesson, and study the metaphysical arts such as meditation to alleviate their stress.

Libra: You will have a focus on your friendships. Perhaps you will make new friends and cast away false ones. You will also begin to pursue your hopes and dreams.
