Questions
When is the next eclipse?
A annular solar eclipse on Saturday February 6, 2027, in Aquarius.
What is the difference between a solar and a lunar eclipse?
A solar eclipse is a new moon passing in front of the Sun. A lunar eclipse is a full moon passing through the Earth's shadow. They come in pairs about two weeks apart, a few times a year.
Where can I see it?
Each eclipse is visible from only part of the Earth. This page gives the moment and the sign; a local astronomy guide will show the path.
What do eclipses mean in astrology?
They are read as stronger new and full moons: a solar eclipse as a turning point, a lunar eclipse as a release. Each takes the colour of its sign, and where that sign falls in your chart says where it touches you.
