Your Eclipse Star Signs

Discover what this month's eclipse means for your star sign

The heavens are shifting this August! Once of the most significant solar events will take place on August 21st: a total eclipse of the Sun. According to astrologers, this heavenly event has a significant effect on life on earth. This solar eclipse falls in the exuberant sign of Leo, which means every star sign is in for a shaking up of beliefs, thoughts and routines. Life-changing stuff!

The full eclipse will be visible across the USA for the first time since 1932. But you won't miss out on the heavenly movements, either. A partial eclipse of the Sun will be visible over the Republic of Ireland and the British Isles from about 19.30 on August 21st - if the weather is reasonably clear. Read on to find out how this momentous planetary event effects you.

Aries

March 21 - April 19

Slow down! You usually charge about dealing with life at one hundred miles per hour but the eclipse is telling you to take a more sedate pace. You need to become more patient and to listen to others in order to succeed in romantic and family relationships. Rewarding joint ventures could be on the horizon for you if you proceed slowly and carefully.

Taurus

April 20 - May 20

Things will change in your life dramatically for the better. You've been stuck in a cycle of complicated events - but that's all about to change with the eclipse. Don't be afraid of the changes - even if they seem daunting at first. You'll meet new people and find new situations which will transform your life next year.

Gemini

May 21 - June 20

Your thinking is about to have an overhaul! You'll find yourself changing your opinion on long-held beliefs. You'll find new options opening up that you never considered before. But this can only happen if you let go of your natural stubbornness. Accept the unexpected and be flexible with your plans. The coming months will be a journey of discovery.

Cancer

June 21 - July 22

As if you hadn't experienced enough changes so far this year - the universe is preparing to throw lots more your way. But as unsettling as these changes might be, your shifting circumstances mean that goals that once seemed out of reach are now within your grasp. So set your sights high and go for it.

Leo

July 23 - August 22

As a fire sign, you relish change. The eclipse in your sign certainly has plenty in store for you. Many aspects of your life will change and renew, prompting you to take a close look at the direction you are heading. With some careful clearing out of aspects that are no longer serving your higher good, you can look forward to an exciting new future.

Virgo

August 23- September 22

Ditch your carefully laid plans, forget about the rota and bin the to do list! Because the eclipse is about to inject a dose of wild spontaneity into your usually orderly Virgo life! This is good news for you because it will give you a sense of freedom you haven't experienced for years. So go with it. Take your chances and you will reap the rewards.

Libra

September 23 - October 22

You are emerging from a long cycle of growth with lessons learned and new ideas on the table. Now your eclipse lesson is to be true to your heart, your goals and yourself by seizing opportunities. Don't allow the needs of others to dominate your life. Move forward to by taking the offers that will fulfil your dreams - even if they seem unreachable at first.

Scorpio

October 23 - November 21

You are at the beginning of a journey. In the coming months and year, your priorities will shift and your perspective will alter so much that you will change profoundly. So hold off with the set plans as you will need to be flexible, rather than your usual painstaking analysing of every detail. As Jupiter moves into your sign from October expect good fortune to come your way.

Sagittarius

November 22 - December 21

You're still playing a waiting game. The eclipse changes will come but they will not phase you as it's not yet time for you to act. Now is the moment for reflection and planning. The eclipse will trigger exciting offers for you but consider them carefully and stay flexible until late December when Saturn moves out of your star sign. After that opportunity will flow to you.

Capricorn

December 22 – January 19

You are looking at some big breakthroughs triggered by the August eclipse. But you've learned enough over the past year to know not to force the issue, instead you'll let it flow naturally. Focus on getting rid of aspects of your life and goals you no longer care for, then you'll be ready for the next, exciting phase as you ruler Saturn moves into your sign at the end of the year.

Aquarius

January 20 - February 18

Unexpected events will unfold gradually over the coming months, sparked by the solar eclipse and by the Aquarius lunar eclipse of August 7th. This will trigger a shift in thinking and in your priorities. Lots will happen but you will take it all in your stride.

Pisces

February 19 - March 20

You feel in a bit of a muddle at present. It's because you have allowed life aspects which no longer serve you to clutter your world. The eclipse will give you the jolt you need to let them go. Then the latter half of the year and into the next year is brimming with positive possibilities for you.
