This is the one to listen to. On August 12th the total solar eclipse in Leo arrives at 20 degrees Leo, and it will touch every one of us. In my first long solo episode, almost an hour, I walk you through everything you need before the biggest manifestation moment of the year. You will learn what an eclipse actually is and why a solar eclipse is a new moon supercharged, why this one opens an eighteen month chapter as the first in a new Leo eclipse series, and why the seeds you plant now unfold over the next six months to two years. 

I share the story of the 2017 Leo eclipse and the workbook that put Spirit Daughter on the map, then I get personal: I show you exactly how to find 20 degrees Leo in your chart and what this eclipse is opening for you in every house, from identity and self worth to career, partnerships, and coming home to who you are. Leo rules the heart, so this is your invitation to stop playing small, reclaim the light you dimmed, and claim what you actually want. Grab your journal, pull up your chart at chart.spiritdaughter.com, and settle in.

When it happens:

The total solar eclipse peaks at 10:45 AM PT on August 12, 2026 (5:45 PM UTC) at 20 degrees Leo. Convert that to your time zone, and if you can, pause for the moment of totality.

Welcome to The Spirit Daughter Podcast, where we explore the cosmic energy of each season through expert conversations and dive deep into celebrity birth charts to help you understand your own astrological design. I'm Jill Wintersteen, and twice weekly, I'm bringing you powerful conversations that align with current cosmic weather alongside intimate chart readings that reveal how the stars shape extraordinary lives.

 

Every month brings a perfect mix. Through intimate chart reading with fascinating guests, you'll discover how these successful people work with their cosmic energy to create extraordinary lives. As I read their charts, you'll recognize pieces of yourself in their stories. Their Venus placement might mirror yours. Their rising sign challenges might sound exactly like your morning routine. Every celebrity chart becomes a mirror for understanding your own.

 

I’ll also feature interviews with experts based on the current astrological season. During Virgo Season, we’ll explore finding your worth through healing and rituals. When Capricorn Season arrives, we’ll discuss building empires while maintaining life balance. These expert episodes are timed to each Sun Season's themes, giving you real tools to work with the current cosmic energy. 

 

Each week brings you two powerful episodes. Our full-length shows feature either revealing chart readings or expert conversations perfectly timed to the season's opportunities. Every conversation will show you how to work with current cosmic weather to create real results in your life.

 

Plus, our weekly mini-episodes break down specific pieces of the natal chart. What does Mercury in your chart reveal about your communication style? How does your moon sign unlock emotional freedom? These quick cosmic downloads give you the knowledge to read your own chart like a pro.

 

Here's what makes this irresistible: while I'm reading a celebrity's chart or exploring seasonal themes with experts, you're learning to apply these insights to your own life. Every placement we discuss, every aspect we explore, every transit we navigate together becomes a lesson you can use immediately. It's like getting a personal astrology education through the stories of people you admire and wisdom from experts who've mastered these cosmic cycles.

 

Whether you're new to astrology or ready to go deeper, this show teaches you to speak the language of the stars through expert wisdom and the charts of fascinating people. Because when you understand how cosmic energy shows up in others and learn to work with seasonal themes, you recognize these patterns in yourself. And when you understand your own astrological makeup, you unlock the power to create the exact life you desire.
