What if the eclipse that crossed your chart last August is still unfolding? This week the Moon returns to that Leo eclipse degree, and Jupiter moves over the same threshold—a profound reactivation of a solar eclipse and a call to listen to your life with new ears.
I’ll walk you through five soul-level themes: wise downsizing, big-hearted change, the refinement of pride, visibility, and a renewed sense of purpose. Then I offer brief horoscopes for all 12 signs, showing where this Leo eclipse is stirring your birth chart. This is not about chasing spectacle.
It is about tracking the quiet signatures of fate, character, and vocation. You are not merely watching astrology happen; you are meeting a pattern that asks something of you.

Hey everyone. This is Adam Elenbaas from Nightlight Astrology [https://nightlightastrology.com/].
Hey everyone, this is Adam Ellenbaas from Nightlight Astrology. Happy Monday, everybody! After a wild weekend of astrology, I hope you are all doing well. Today, the moon is reactivating the eclipse point in the sign of Leo.
Today and tomorrow, so we're going to take a look at that today. I'm going to give you a list of things to watch for, and I'm going to briefly remind you of what house the eclipse in Leo on august 12 landed in in your birth chart.
That way you can do a little tracking and just see how the eclipse, the waves of resonance from the eclipse are maybe echoing in your life right now. So that's what we're gonna do today. I think this is a really good thing to do.
It's a powerful reactivation of that eclipse window, but before we get into it, remember to like and subscribe. We're over 100,000 subscribers. Thank you, everybody. This is the first video that I'm recording after we made that that moment.

Hope to see some of you there. All right. Well, on that note, let's put Nachepso up on the screen, and Nachepso is our affiliate software program. You can find the discount code in the description or the comments of the video.
And here we are, Monday, october 5. Let's point out just a few things. So first of all, you can see here Monday morning, October 5, we've got this lineup of planets in Leo. Now the eclipse degree was around 20, and what makes this a very powerful reactivation of the eclipse is that we're still only two cycles out from the moon has been in Leo only one other time since the eclipse.
So those early reiterations, the first two three cycles, are very powerful, and tomorrow we'll see that the moon will cross Jupiter and the eclipse degree. That's around 20 degrees. So right now, with Jupiter stationed-not stationed-if Jupiter's moving across the 20th degree, and just kind of slowly reactivating that eclipse point, and then we also have the moon moving across Jupiter in the same space in the sky. That's a very powerful moment of reactivating our eclipse.
Probably more potent than the first time around because Jupiter was not yet on that eclipse degree. So that does make a big difference. So we're gonna give this today, october 5 into tomorrow, october 6. So I'll put that up on the screen for you.
So the eclipse reactivation is october 5 and sixth. Now that eclipse took place on august 12. So the August 12 eclipse in Leo was right there at about 20 degrees. So again, what do we have right now? Jupiter moving over that eclipse degree with the moon coming back over it.
If you wanted to go back in time for the first reactivation of this eclipse, you could do that as well. I'll back this up. I did this in a video. I think it was last week or the week before.
The other reactivation of this little window was right about here on Wednesday, like Tuesday, september 8 into Wednesday, september 9. So that would have been the first reactivation. This is the second.
Now again, Jupiter was at about 15 degrees of Leo at that time, and so some of the promise of this eclipse is truly located at the time when this major planetary alignment occurs. We watch for things like this when we're studying eclipses. In other words, they're very important. If you're going to track eclipses, you have to track things that are happening subsequently at the eclipse degree.
Jupiter on the eclipse degree, two moon cycles later, when the moon crosses over, that's a pretty big deal. So a lot of us are going to find that early this week, some of the the the greatest promise of that eclipse, what it's meant to teach us, the openings that it creates in our lives the meaning, the newness, the purpose, the blessings, the the hard lessons.
Even Jupiter is our guru. Jupiter is a sage, and so what we have to learn from Jupiter on that eclipse degree is very powerful. No mistaking it. So now let's talk about some of the things, and then I'll reiterate your horoscopes for you briefly.
I've got five things to watch for, given the meaning of Jupiter on the eclipse degree in Leo. This is a south node space, by the way. So we have trimming, downsizing, and reducing. Sounds funny for Jupiter in Leo, but sometimes to go forward, you have to temporarily take a step back.
Sometimes to get bigger, you need to get more focused on on fewer things. Sometimes to get bigger, you have to look. It looks in some way like you're getting smaller. Sometimes you need to reduce things so that you can be a better person. So trimming, downsizing, and reducing doesn't have to be a curse. It doesn't have to be a punishment.
Although certainly the karma of Jupiter in the South Node in the same space can be about reductions in in in pride or ego, and we'll talk more about that in a moment. But when where there is meaningful downsizing, reducing, trimming, rooted in wisdom, that is very solar eclipse in Leo with Jupiter in the South Node.
All put all those ingredients together, and you get something like that. Number two on my list is big heart, big changes. Leo eclipse zones, especially again with the South Node, which can speak to an accumulation of past life wisdom and experience, or the accumulation of history and personal biography in the past, leading to a moment of greater insight and realization.
Because of that, this feeling that I'm growing in my heart, I'm growing in wisdom, I'm getting clearer, I feel ennobled, I feel I'm becoming the better, brighter version of myself. That those that those big changes that are rooted in kind of big heart awakenings bury Jupiter on the eclipse degree.
So watch for that that feeling of like yes, I've been opening my heart, and now I'm starting to see some of the changes because I've opened my heart because I've taken some big growth steps and I've said yes to what's inside. So number three, reduction of pride and ego.
Sometimes the downsizing is about humbling. Now that humbling, I think to the degree that we are afraid of it, we resist it. It can feel ominous, but if we keep an open heart and we stay honest, and you know, I say this not as a I don't know.
Sometimes I think that the language can bother people, but it's like keep keep the posture of being on your knees close. Being on your knees doesn't have to be a scary thing. It can be a humble thing. When I was in India, and we would go on pilgrimage into all of these temples, the first thing that we did was just like hit the deck, you know.
And it was so beautiful. I just loved it. You ring the bell, the doorbell on these temples, like hi, hi deities inside. I'm here. May I come in? Take off my shoes. By the way, be careful because outside of the temple there's like 200 shoes. It's very, very.
I learned quickly it's very easy to lose your shoes in India because of the massive pileup of shoes outside of temples. Anyway, you go into this temple and and you just hit the deck, and you say thank you, thank you to the beautiful presence of these gods and goddesses, these energies, and keeping that prostration near is so important for Leo South Node eclipse spaces because you know when you're feeling like life is hitting you hard on all sides and it feels really personal and like, oh man, like my, it feels like my very worth or my dignity is being attacked somehow.
The best thing to do is to just fall down on your knees in front of these huge benevolent powers and just say, "I'm nothing without you, you know. Please help me. You're my strength. You're the shakti that lives inside of me. Your fame, any your beauty, your artfulness, universe, is that that only anything good that flows through me is coming from you anyway.
Please protect me. Please take care of me. Please guide me. Please help me touch the goodness inside me. Please protect me. Please help me be vulnerable and big enough to apologize or grow if I need to. So, if we have the courage of in our hearts to do that, then what is there to fear?
What is there to fear about our pride or ego getting diminished a little bit, if we preemptively, if we feel it coming, and we just say, you know what, I'll help in the process. You know, take off my my little ball cap. You know, put my head down and say, like, look, where am I going anyway without you?
You know what am I gonna do on my own? You know, so the journey of the Leo pride and ego adjustment can be pretty glorious if we get courageous and say, you know what, like it might hurt, my pride might be injured, but my faith is not, because I'll take any opportunity I can to to grow.
What a prayer, though, man! If you say that prayer, don't be surprised. You know, if it comes at you, that's a brave prayer. So I'm not praying it. I'm just kidding. I try to pray it, but it's a real trembly prayer, you know. Like, help me to be more humble.
Ooh, be careful with that one, you know. But when it comes, just be willing, be thrilled that the universe loves you enough to help you grow, you know. I, I don't know. That's the only way I know how to get through those times where it's like I'm getting leveled here, and I probably I might deserve it.
You know what I mean? So let's just. But we're in it together, okay? We are. So let's do it. Number four: issues around visibility. Look, if there's questions that you have about your self worth. These eclipses can help you step forward somehow into the brighter, more visible version of yourself.
I noticed my daughter, who is a Leo son, got this eclipse, and she's always been really scared of singing. And she asked if she could take voice lessons. I was so proud of her. It was such a good Leo eclipse kind of thing.
Yes, you may take voice lessons. Let's do it. Let's rock this. You know. So when when there is fear about being seen, these spaces can help you step forward, even if it's not for anyone but yourself. Just feeling comfortable in yourself to be seen.
It doesn't have to be some ego fame trip, right? When I say visibility, I just mean you have a right to exist. You know, you're beautiful. Let your light shine. It can be. It can shine in the brightest, most beautiful way, and it doesn't have to step over anyone. It doesn't have to crowd out anyone else.
But sometimes we're scared that even that is too much, and it's not. You know, your heart deserves to feel glorious, like a little sun, and and so maybe there's an opportunity here to step into that light a little bit more. On the other hand, again, like if you need a dimmer switch and you need attention to how to turn it down in the presence of others, how to turn it up in other situations.
The intelligence is there in these eclipse cycles to give you that knowledge, to give you that discernment. Number four would be a renewed or deepened sense of clarity or purpose. The sun is bright; it is a source of illumination and clarity, and that's its basic symbolism. That's why it is a planet that rejoices in the ninth house, the place of universal dharma. What is true?
What is real about about ultimate reality? We get little glimpses, and when we do, it's like the sun breaking through the clouds. We're enlightened momentarily. We have these glimpses of wisdom in our life. It's amazing to me how many of the moments that I can remember like that throughout my life that have been the clearest, most profound moments of wisdom have been remarkably simple.
You know, water. I remember I had an ayahuasca ceremony that was like water, sunshine, and sleep, my friend. I was like, that's so clear. It's so beautiful and so easy and true. Just like you're a plant, you water yourself, sleep nicely, and expose yourself to sunshine.
I was like, oh man, that breaks my heart. It's so easy and honest and basic. A lot of things when we talk about. Clarity and purpose are not about like conquering the world, saving the world, finding you know becoming masterful.
It could be that there's a sense of purpose that leads you to something with great acclaim attached to it. But for a lot of us, that clarity and renewed sense of purpose is about how bright we can feel in the simplest Things, so, and that deepened sense of clarity and purpose often goes along with nurturing our vitality, our sense of health, and basic happiness.
So watch for the eclipse to reactivate some of these things. Now, brief reminders of the horoscopic placement of this moon day in your chart. So what I'm going to do is we're going to put Aries on the ascendant and remind you. So this is Aries, Sun, or Rising all through the signs.
Quick lightning round reminders: Aries, Sun, or Rising, fifth house reactivation creativity joy happiness romance children pregnancy watch for these topics to be reactivated Taurus its home family property roots parents the private or internal sphere of life for Gemini's it is about the mind the psychology the communication, the thoughts, the subjective framework of your your own experience and opinions, your mental, psychological, emotional framework. How is that changing, growing relationships with siblings or peers?
Let's go on to cancers in the second house. It's around assets, money, resources. It's about what you depend on, what you rely on, what supports you. It's about, to a certain extent, anything that provides you with livelihood or income like that. If it if you're a Leo rising, then it's about identity. It's health, the body, psychology, selfhood.
If you're a Virgo rising. It's in the 12th house. It's about those blind spots, the hidden spots, the things you can't see, the maybe insecurities, the things or people that undermine you, the unconsciousness, the need for some kind of withdrawal or retreat, maybe the feeling of being a little in between worlds right now.
For Libras, it is about the 11th house of friends, groups, allies, social or communal experiences. It is about the network of people that surround you and your connections with friends, community, and allies-people that you associate with and find some meaning. It's also your social definitions of happiness, belonging, popularity, success out in the world in a social identity kind of way.
For Scorpios, it's your career house, right? So it's the vocation, it's your public reputation, it's the direction of your career, it's what engages you with the civil and social arena of the world for Sagittarians, it's about faith, it's about philosophy, it's about learning, it's about religion. Maybe foreign countries, it's about your paradigm, it's about your beliefs.
For Capricorns, it's in the eighth house. It's about soul contracts with other people, the give and take, the debts and obligations, the topic or theme of reciprocity and interdependence. It's about death and attachments and entanglements and the liberation from those things.
If you're an Aquarius, it's about relationships. It's about love and sex and marriage and intimate sphere. It's about interdependency. It is about the we rather than the me. It's about all of the things that pertain to your most intimate or interpersonal dynamics.
Finally, for Pisces, the sixth house. It's about work. It's about labor. It's about service. It's about sacrifice. It's about the kinds of obstacles you're working through. It's the grind that you're in. It's the things that you work hard toward or for.
It's the things you're building. It's the things that require active effort and compromise and dedication and sacrifice. And it's about what is worth it for you right now, and what your heart feels that its larger purpose is that it is sacrificing and laboring toward for yourself or maybe in the world in general.
All right. So again, just some lightning round reminders of where that horoscope house is, and and what might be coming back up for you right now since the eclipse occurred and is now being reactivated. So this is good for today and tomorrow.
Remember that you may notice this as the week goes on, but watch for developments today and tomorrow that really speak to all of this. That's what I've got for you. I hope that this was helpful and that you are. I really hope everyone's doing well after this wild weekend of astrology that we had.
I make these in advance, so I have no idea what happened. I'm still waiting to find out. Anyway, have. A beautiful day. We'll see you again next time. Bye.
