Lunar and Solar Eclipses: How They Affect Us

Eclipses are all about change—dramatic, bold and/or unexpected. The part of your life they affect depends on your solar chart and rising sign chart.

Understanding the Deeper Meaning of an Eclipse

The moon has no natural light. When we see a bright full moon in the sky, it’s actually reflecting the light of the sun. Solar eclipses happen when the moon stands between the sun and the earth, and lunar eclipses occur when the earth stands between the moon and the sun.

Eclipses come in pairs and always occur in two opposing signs, each coinciding with full moons (lunar eclipses) and new moons (solar eclipses). Once a group of signs is done in the cycle, they will not repeat for seven to eight years.

2012 Eclipses

Groups of eclipses can cross over each other. The two remaining eclipses of 2012 occur in November. The upcoming new moon solar eclipse taking place on November 13 in Scorpio is the start of a new group of eclipses (Scorpio-Taurus) which ends in 2014. The current Sagittarius-Gemini group of eclipses will end with the full moon lunar eclipse in Gemini on November 28.

“Astrology brings so much to the table. It gives you the personality, likes and dislikes of a person. Their nature is uncovered and if it is not a match for you, it can be worked around to make it work.” – Quinn ext. 5484

Here I Come, Ready or Not

Whether or not you’re wishing for life to change, you can bet that change will likely happen during an eclipse. Eclipses are all about change—dramatic, bold and/or unexpected. Whatever part of your life they affect depends a lot on your solar chart and rising sign chart. A gifted astrologer could help you not only create your chart but interpret it as well. If an eclipse happens in your sun or rising sign, it’s a time to be on the lookout for changes, but they don’t have to occur in your signs to affect you. Another quirky trait of an eclipse is that when a series of eclipses does occur in your sun or rising sign, you can look to the following year to be a major life changer. That could be a birth, a move, a marriage—anything is possible.

An eclipse’s powers are uncontained and show no limits. Also, any major changes that occur during a solar or lunar eclipse are likely to be set in stone, with very little chance for change. They can shed light on secrets and hidden agendas, they can oust people and situations from our lives in a heartbeat and they can do just about anything you can imagine and more. The natural vibration of an eclipse though is not one of blatant destruction or random disruption. Whatever we experience as a result of an eclipse, painful or not, actually lifts us up to the next level of experience, and puts us right where we’re supposed to be. Eclipses are the catalysts of revolution and evolution but can often lead to revelation.

Generally speaking we experience four to six eclipses in a year—it all depends on the degree in which they occur in a sign. One thing to note is that if an eclipse happens within a few days before or after your birthday, they can affect your life in ways you never expected no matter what sign they happen in.

    Great article. I remember losing my job during an eclipse and being caught off guard by other employment-related occurences during eclipses. I don’t care too much for them, to say the least.

    My hobby, for over 30 years is tracking eclipses…..because with all of the water in my natal chart, I’m extremely affected by eclipses, especially Lunar eclipses of the Moon.

    Eclipses are 1000 times more powerful than any full moon, and most planetary transits as well,….and can cause effects that can be felt up to three weeks before and after the actual apex, or moment, of the eclipse.

    This is especially true if it is aspecting your particular sign, or correlating to your something in your own natal chart.

    Whereas a full moon can be felt up to 3 days before and after.

    Eclipses always bring change, for better or worse…..they also act as course corrections.

    Loved this article, LJ !!!!!!!!!
