FAQ
Should I read for my Sun sign or rising sign?
Use your rising sign if you know your birth time. It sets the houses. Your Sun sign can still describe the style of the eclipse, but the rising sign tells you the life area.
What if I have planets near 20 degrees Leo?
Then the eclipse is more personal. Planets near 20° Leo receive the conjunction; planets near 20° Aquarius, Taurus, or Scorpio receive strong fixed-sign contacts.
Is this page different from the main Leo eclipse guide?
Yes. This page is the quick rising-sign map. The main Leo eclipse guide is the canonical deep dive for exact time, degree, visibility, intentions, and the full August sequence.
