3. 12 Aug

   A total Solar Eclipse at 20° Leo near the South Node on August 12 brings endings and a new chapter in Cancer's second house of money, income, and values.

   This eclipse falls close to the South Node in your financial sector. An old source of income, spending habit, or belief about your worth may reach its end. This can feel unsettling, but it clears space for a healthier relationship with money. With Jupiter also in Leo, long-term financial growth is still strongly supported. Avoid large purchases or risky investments between August 12 and 27. Review your values honestly. Over the next six months, you rebuild security on a firmer, more authentic base.
