How much celestial magic can the universe conjure at once?
On 12th August, a solar eclipse lands in Leo. And not just any Leo moon. This is a Super New Moon, arriving right inside Lionsgate Portal season, when the sun, Sirius and the earth align to open what’s said to be one of the most potent windows in the astrological calendar.
A new moon plants seeds. An eclipse accelerates everything. Put the two together under Lionsgate energy, and you get a night that doesn’t just invite change. It demands you show up for it.
Leo governs identity, self-expression and the parts of us that long to be witnessed, so this eclipse isn’t really about the world shifting around you. It’s about you finally shifting towards yourself. This is the eclipse that asks you to be seen, fully, without the edit.
A few questions worth sitting with as it passes overhead:
What are you ready to leave behind?
What would you do if you stopped worrying about being judged?
What part of yourself is ready to come back into the light?
You don’t need perfect answers. Eclipses rarely hand out clarity in neat sentences. But naming the question is often where the shift begins.
Who feels it most
Leo and Aquarius will feel this one hardest, one letting go of the need for applause, the other releasing connections that have quietly run their course. Taurus may feel the pull to shake up home life while career takes an unexpected leap, and Scorpio gets the mirror image, a career reset alongside a softer, more grounded home life.
Then on 28th August, the energy turns inward with a lunar eclipse in Pisces, the sign of feeling, intuition and everything we’d rather not look at directly. Whatever surfaced under the Leo eclipse now asks to be felt properly rather than scrolled past. Virgo and Pisces sit closest to this one, Gemini and Sagittarius may go deeper than usual, and Cancer and Capricorn could find long overdue conversations finally happening.
A ritual for the Eclipse
We believe the wyldest moments in life rarely need grand gestures, just a pause and a little intention. So this eclipse season, we’re inviting you into a small ritual of your own. Find a quiet corner, however brief the moment.
Light a Candle. Let the flame mark the start of something. A single wick, a still room, a breath.
Set an Intention. Not a resolution, just a whisper of what you’re ready for. Say it aloud or simply feel it.
Let Go. Of the story that no longer fits. Of the version of yourself you’ve outgrown. Watch the flame and let it take what you’re releasing.
Step Into Your Light. However that shows up for you today. Quietly, boldly, imperfectly. All of it counts.
Nature has always been our guide at WYLDE MOON, and the moon more than anything else, so an eclipse season like this one feels like exactly the right moment to come back to those small rituals that ground us. Light the candle. Breathe in the amberwood and musk. Let the wild garden scent of (borrowed from) The Wild settle you back into your own skin.
Whatever this eclipse reveals, you’re allowed to meet it gently. You’re allowed to take your time. And you’re allowed, always, to be seen.
Reconnect. Realign. Rediscover your WYLDE. 🌙
