A total solar eclipse marks the new moon in Leo on 2 August 2027 at 10:05 UTC, with a magnitude of 1.08, near the south node. Sun and Moon stand together at 9°55' Leo, the Moon 357,384 km from Earth. Venus is conjunct within 2.6 degrees, Neptune trines the lunation within 3.4 degrees, and Pluto opposes it within 4.1 degrees. Neptune and Pluto are retrograde.
Leo is the fixed fire sign ruled by the Sun, and the tradition links it with creativity, pride, play and the wish to be seen. Astrologers read eclipses as markers of change, and the south node as pointing toward release more than gain. Venus nearby is taken to highlight affection and pleasure, and the Pluto opposition to raise questions of control. A modest suggestion: notice which ways of presenting yourself feel tired, and consider setting one aside.
