What eclipses mean in astrology

Eclipses come in seasons about six months apart, two or three at a time. A solar eclipse always falls at a New Moon, and a lunar eclipse at a Full Moon. Traditionally, astrologers link solar eclipses to beginnings, and lunar eclipses to things reaching a peak or coming to an end.

Astrologers also look at where an eclipse falls in your own chart. The house it lands in points to the area of life it's about, like home and family in the 4th house or career in the 10th. An eclipse near one of your key points is said to touch what that point stands for, such as your sense of self if it's your Sun, or your feelings if it's your Moon. It's a way of reading the sky, not a prediction of what will happen to you.

How the eclipses are calculated

We work out your chart from your birth date and city, plus your birth time if you know it. Your key points are the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, plus the Ascendant and Midheaven when you give a birth time. An eclipse is listed as near one of them when it falls within 3° of it, and as opposite when it falls within 3° of the point directly across the zodiac. We use Placidus houses. Times are in the local time of the place you've picked, or in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) if you haven't picked one.
