Sounds like you need a basic astrology course. Events don't happen *in* a planet, they happen in a sign. The eclipse will happen when the Moon is opposite the Sun and near Ketu the south node in Leo via sidereal astrology. The Sun rules Leo not Mercury unless you are using western astrology and then it occurs in Virgo which *is* ruled by Mercury.
