The Leo solar eclipse may bring chaos at the top—but for ordinary people, it may be an opportunity to reclaim personal and collective power.
In this episode, Emily and Krista explore why solar eclipses are traditionally connected to leadership and hierarchy, what this eclipse could reveal about political power, and why the energy may feel more like community, self-worth, and new beginnings for the rest of us.
They also discuss how eclipse effects may unfold over time, why breakups and changing desires could surface, and how to move through eclipse season without feeling inactive or powerless. From journaling and divination to spending time near water and intentionally trying something new, this is a guide to receiving the eclipse’s energy instead of trying to control it.
