Total solar eclipse, 2 August 2027

The Moon passes fully in front of the Sun on 2 August 2027, with greatest eclipse at 10:07 UTC. Both bodies sit at 9°55' Leo, and the magnitude of 1.08 means the Moon's disk appears slightly larger than the Sun's, allowing a total eclipse. The point of greatest eclipse lies in the Northern Hemisphere over northeastern Africa, and the event falls near the lunar south node.
Astrologers read solar eclipses as emphatic new moons, marking beginnings that may take months to show their shape. Leo is traditionally the sign of creativity, play, generosity and the wish to be seen. An eclipse near the south node is often linked with release: letting go of habits that no longer fit. A modest practice is to note one thing you are ready to stop performing and one thing you would make for the pleasure of it.
