— The Crossing Roads —

Where the Lights Go Dark

The Sun and Moon each walk their own road across the sky, and twice a year those roads cross — at the Moon’s nodes, the points the old astrologers called the dragon’s head and tail. A new or full moon that lands near a crossing becomes an eclipse: a lunation with the volume turned all the way up. Solar eclipses open doors. Lunar eclipses bring the harvest in.

— Scenery or Story —

It Depends Where It Lands

Every eclipse strikes an exact degree of the zodiac — and whether that degree touches your chart decides everything. An eclipse on your natal Venus is a season of the heart; one on your Midheaven moves your public life; one that touches nothing passes as beautiful scenery. Your free check below dates every eclipse for eighteen months and names the ones that are personally yours.

What is an eclipse in astrology?

An eclipse is a new or full moon that happens close to the Moon's nodes — the two points where the Moon's path crosses the Sun's. Astrologically they are the year's accelerators: a solar eclipse is a super-charged new moon that opens doors, and a lunar eclipse is a super-charged full moon that brings culminations and reveals. What a regular lunation whispers, an eclipse announces.

What is the difference between a solar and lunar eclipse?

A solar eclipse happens at a new moon, when the Moon crosses in front of the Sun — astrologically a seed moment, a beginning that tends to unfold over the following six months, often as events you did not plan. A lunar eclipse happens at a full moon, when Earth's shadow crosses the Moon — a culmination and a release, when something ripens, something is finally seen, and something outgrown asks to be let go.

How often do eclipses happen?

Eclipses arrive in seasons, roughly twice a year, about six months apart — each season bringing two or occasionally three eclipses within a few weeks. Most years hold four to six in total. Each season falls in a particular pair of zodiac signs, which shifts slowly over the years — so each eclipse season works a specific corner of your chart.

What does it mean if an eclipse hits my chart?

An eclipse becomes personal when its degree lands close to something in your birth chart — on it, opposite it, or square to it. When that happens, the eclipse's acceleration works directly through that planet's territory: an eclipse on your natal Venus stirs love and worth, one on your Midheaven moves your public life. Eclipses that touch nothing in your chart pass as general weather — dramatic in the sky, quiet in your life.

What is an eclipse season?

The weeks around each pair of eclipses — roughly a month, twice a year — when the Sun travels close enough to the Moon's nodes for eclipses to occur. Astrologers treat the whole season as charged: events compress, timelines accelerate, and the story an eclipse begins is often finished by another eclipse in the same family a year or more later.
