What eclipses mean

Times in Eastern Time (ET)

  1. Annular solar eclipse28°50′ Aquarius
    What a solar eclipse in Aquarius stands for

    A solar eclipse is a new Moon near a lunar node, so Sun and Moon both sit in Aquarius, a fixed air sign ruled traditionally by Saturn and in modern practice by Uranus. In this symbolic language it reads as a reset in Aquarian territory: your ideas, your groups, your sense of where you belong. You might notice which beliefs are genuinely yours.

  2. Total lunar eclipse12°51′ Virgo
    What a lunar eclipse in Virgo stands for

    A lunar eclipse is a full Moon near one of the Moon's nodes, here with the Moon in Virgo, a mutable earth sign ruled by Mercury, and the Sun opposite in Pisces. Astrologers treat it as a brighter-than-usual contrast: the wish to sort, fix and refine set against everything that stays unsorted. You might notice where useful care has quietly turned into self-correction.

  3. Total solar eclipse20°02′ Leo
    What a solar eclipse in Leo stands for

    A solar eclipse is a new Moon near one of the Moon's nodes, so Sun and Moon both sit in Leo, a fixed fire sign the Sun rules, and the Moon crosses in front of the Sun for part of Earth. In this symbolic language, that reads as a reset in how you want to be seen: what you make, what you claim, what you'd rather stop performing.

  4. Partial lunar eclipse4°51′ Pisces
    What a lunar eclipse in Pisces stands for

    A lunar eclipse is a full Moon near one of the Moon's nodes — here the Moon in Pisces, the Sun in Virgo, the Moon passing through Earth's shadow. Astrologers read Pisces, a mutable water sign ruled by Jupiter and, in modern practice, Neptune, as where edges soften. You might notice what feeling you've let blur, and what plain sorting would ease.

Eclipses from where you are

Type a town once and each eclipse below says whether it can be seen there, worked out in your browser.

The place is kept only in this browser on this device and never sent to us; only the search you type reaches our place lookup.

The interpretations on this page were drafted with software assistance and checked against our voice guidelines by an automated reviewer.

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 a second, independent ephemeris. 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.
