Eclipses are pattern breakers. They show a shift in the usual way of doing things. This means every eclipse is a great chance to shake up your routine and explore a wide variety of new rituals.
Leo LUNAR Eclipse
SYDNEY: February 11, 11.32am
NEW YORK: February 10, 7.32pm
LONDON: February 11, 12.32am
This particular Leo Lunar Eclipse is especially unpredictable, as it activates an already powerful triangle pattern that has formed between Jupiter in Libra, Saturn in Sagittarius and Uranus in Aries. Talk about shape shifting!
Listen to the stirrings in your soul now. The desire to fit in may seem less important than the need to be true to yourself.
The buzzword for this Leo eclipse, so strongly influenced by Uranus, is AUTHENTICITY.
I love this Ralph Waldo Emerson quote for strong Uranus influences:
‘Do not go where the path may lead: go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.’
It’s especially apt because Uranus is in Aries, a fire sign associated with the pioneering spirit and the energy of the entrepreneur, AND because this eclipse is in another fire sign, Leo.
Leo dares and dreams and stays with a vision to see it through. This is fixed fire, which means tapping into the vision inside you and then committing every fibre of your being to making it so.
Planet of manifestation, Saturn, also aspects this eclipse, which can help you shine your light towards a realistic or practical dream.

Uranus says change or challenge the status quo. Saturn asks that you operate from a place of maturity, focus and within healthy limits. Put the two together and the feeling right now is big, bold, beautiful – and intense. You may have a substantial and potentially long lasting choice to make.
Optimistic Jupiter is also involved at this eclipse, which can help you stay in touch with a hopeful feeling. No matter how chaotic, weird or challenging, the inspiration behind what you’re doing may be golden and good. Growth always feels weird and the best growth will take you outside your comfort zone.

An eclipse in Leo asks that we re-evaluate the ways in which essence is expressed. Given that it activates a grand fire trine – involving Saturn, the Full Moon and Uranus, from 21 – 25 of all three fire signs – it’s a time to take dynamic, inspired action.
You may push ahead to a finish line that has taunted you for so long, or finally complete a project that has been years in the making.
As you take action – especially any action which represents an ending – you’ll clear energy, baggage and fear that may be holding you back.
Are you honestly sharing your light in the most meaningful way? If not, how can you?
This Leo Eclipse will influence the entire weekend, from February 10 – 12.
