This is the one to listen to. On August 12th the total solar eclipse in Leo arrives at 20 degrees Leo, and it will touch every one of us, whether or not you have any Leo placements in your chart.

In my first long solo episode, almost an hour, I walk you through everything you need before the biggest manifestation moment of the year. You will learn what an eclipse actually is and why a solar eclipse is a new moon supercharged, why this one opens an eighteen month chapter as the first in a new Leo eclipse series, and why the seeds you plant now unfold over the next six months to two years. I also share the story of the 2017 Leo eclipse and the workbook that put Spirit Daughter on the map.

Then I get personal. I show you exactly how to find 20 degrees Leo in your chart and what this eclipse is opening for you in every house, from identity and self worth to career, partnerships, and coming home to who you are. Leo rules the heart, so this is your invitation to stop playing small, reclaim the light you dimmed, and claim what you actually want. Grab your journal, pull up your chart at chart.spiritdaughter.com, and settle in.

When it happens: the total solar eclipse peaks at 10:45 AM PT on August 12, 2026 (5:45 PM UTC) at 20 degrees Leo. Convert that to your time zone, and if you can, pause for the moment of totality.
