Personal eclipse report
Eclipses mark the turning points of the year. Find out which area of your life the coming solar and lunar eclipses touch, which of your planets they fall on and what each eclipse season asks of you.
What does an eclipse do in a birth chart?
A solar eclipse is a new moon that falls close to the lunar nodes; it opens a new chapter in the area of life where it lands. A lunar eclipse is a full moon near the nodes; it brings something to a peak, to light or to an end. Their effect is felt for about six months, sometimes from a few weeks before the date.
Eclipse seasons
Eclipses come in pairs about two weeks apart, roughly every six months. For about a year and a half they fall on the same pair of opposite signs, so the same two houses of your chart stay in focus: one of them asks you to begin, the other to let go.
How to read your report
For each eclipse you see the house it falls in and what that area of life usually goes through. If it lands within a few degrees of a planet in your chart, its effect is stronger and more personal. Eclipses repeat on nearly the same degree about every 19 years; the date of the earlier one is shown so you can look back.
