What Happened
The first total solar eclipse visible coast-to-coast in the US since 1918 occurs on August 21, 2017. Days earlier, white supremacist rallies in Charlottesville, Virginia turn deadly. The eclipse at 28° Leo — the sign of leadership, ego, and national pride — coincides with a crisis of American identity.

Leo rules leadership, pride, and national identity. A solar eclipse in Leo temporarily extinguishes the light of leadership and national self-image. The Charlottesville crisis exposed America's unresolved shadow (eclipse = shadow). Leo also rules performance and spectacle — the eclipse and the rally were both witnessed by millions.
