What eclipses are read as

An eclipse is a New or Full Moon close to the Moon's nodes, the points where the Moon's path crosses the Sun's. Astrologers read a solar eclipse as a strong fresh start and a lunar eclipse as a release or turning point. Eclipses come in pairs about two weeks apart and stay in the same pair of signs for about a year and a half, so a theme that starts with one often continues with the next.

On August 2, 2027, in Leo. Astrologers read a solar eclipse as a strong New Moon: a fresh start in the area of life where it falls for your sign. Where it can be seen depends on the eclipse path, so check a local astronomy source before you plan to watch it.

What is the difference between a solar and a lunar eclipse?

A solar eclipse happens at a New Moon, when the Moon passes in front of the Sun. A lunar eclipse happens at a Full Moon, when the Moon passes through Earth's shadow. In astrology a solar eclipse is read as a beginning, a lunar eclipse as a release or turning point.

What does penumbral mean?

In a penumbral lunar eclipse the Moon only passes through the outer, lighter part of Earth's shadow. It looks a little dimmer and is easy to miss. Astrologers still count it as an eclipse, usually a softer one.

Are eclipses bad luck?

No. Older traditions feared them, but today astrologers read eclipses as moments of change, often things that were already on their way. They are a reason to notice what is starting or ending, not a reason to worry.

Should I look at a solar eclipse?

Never look at the Sun directly, not even during a partial or annular eclipse. Use certified eclipse glasses or an indirect method such as a pinhole projector.
