Solar eclipses

A solar eclipse is a new Moon close to one of the lunar nodes — the points where the Moon's path crosses the Sun's — so the Moon briefly covers the Sun for part of Earth. Astrology reads that blocked light as a beginning whose shape isn't visible yet. You might notice where you've been running on habit, and let something start quietly, on your own terms.

Lunar eclipses

A lunar eclipse is a full Moon near one of the Moon's nodes, the points where its path crosses Earth's, when the Moon passes into Earth's shadow. Read as symbol, it's a full Moon with the volume raised: something you've been half-aware of becomes visible. You might try naming one feeling you've been managing rather than feeling, and see what it asks for.

How these times are computed

Every time here comes from our own engine, built on astronomy-engine, an open-source ephemeris, and checked against independent references: the U.S. Naval Observatory's Moon phases, NASA's eclipse canon and Swiss Ephemeris outputs. The page is written in Eastern Time (ET); your browser shows the times in the zone you pick.

An eclipse's time is the moment of greatest eclipse. Its degree is the Sun's for a solar eclipse and the Moon's for a lunar eclipse. Where an eclipse can be seen depends on your location and is not shown here.

Astrology is a symbolic language, not a science: the positions are exact, and what they mean is interpretation.
