What eclipses mean in astrology
Eclipses happen when a new or full moon falls close to the lunar nodes — the points where the Moon's path crosses the Sun's. Astrologically they are lunations with the volume turned up: solar eclipses open doors, often abruptly, where lunar eclipses close them, bringing culminations, revelations, and release. Tradition reads an eclipse's influence across the six months that follow, concentrated on the houses of your chart the eclipse degree touches.
That last part is the key: an eclipse in Aquarius is a headline; an eclipse on your natal Sun is a life event. Where these eclipses land in your chart depends entirely on your birth moment.
How will these transits touch your chart? A transit only matters where it lands — and that depends on your exact birth moment. The GuidingDragon Year-Ahead Report maps the coming twelve months against your actual birth chart, month by month — delivered to your account within minutes.
