  2. A total Solar Eclipse at 20° Leo near the South Node on August 12 brings endings and a new chapter in Capricorn's eighth house of shared resources and transformation.

    This eclipse falls close to the South Node in your sector of shared resources and deep bonds. An old financial arrangement, debt, or emotional pattern of control may come to an end. With Jupiter also in Leo, support from others can still grow over time. Avoid signing joint financial agreements between August 12 and 27 if you can wait. Emotional intensity may leave you tired, so rest. Release what you no longer need to carry. Over the next six months, trust is rebuilt on healthier terms.
