The new moon solar eclipse 11 August 2018 falls at 18º Leo decan 2. The Solar Eclipse August 2018 astrology shows the solar eclipse as part of a learning triangle. The fixed star triggered at this eclipse is Merak in Ursa Major which loves command and domination! But this eclipse also forms part of a learning triangle which is resolved by the spiritual healing love trine of Jupiter trine Neptune.

With this eclipse, we have the influence of the constellation of mother bear Ursa Major. This constellation still brings formidable command in times of war, when life or death decisions need to be made quickly. The Moon adds nurturing, but also tough-love. Those touched by this solar eclipse will have to risk making short-term, austerity measures for the sake of the long-term prosperity.

Moon Leo 3 does not sugar-coat for the sake of popularity. In a sign that seems so ego-driven, the maternal energy of the bear is actually more about helping others than themselves. How you handle this eclipse depends on how evolved your soul is, for it can trigger a ruthless drive with tyrannical tendencies. At this time we might have to face traits caused by a difficult childhood, one where we had to fight to be ourselves.

Of course, this August Solar eclipse can work to toughen the soul up too, and by the end of the 6 months, those touched by it become more belligerent.  Despite all, even if the decisions that are taken at this time rub people up the wrong way, those decision makers are still admired for their courageous choices. So for the head of a nation, company or family, this eclipse enables trailblazers to do whatever it takes to protect those little cubs in their care.

At the mundane level, this is the great patriot willing to die for their country. (Country = descendants.) Loyalty is the number one demand at this time, so woe betide traitors. Those who stoop to revenge at this time will suffer greatly, but they won’t care who else they bring down with them. So keep a wide berth from the great sinking bear!!
