☀️ Solar Eclipses
A Solar Eclipse occurs at a New Moon when the Moon passes directly between the Earth and Sun, blocking sunlight.
- Total: Moon completely covers the Sun — visible along a narrow path
- Annular: Moon too far from Earth — a ring of fire is visible
- Partial: Moon covers only part of the Sun
Astrologically, solar eclipses are powerful new beginnings — they bring sudden, often fated changes to the house and sign where they fall in the natal chart.
🌙 Lunar Eclipses
A Lunar Eclipse occurs at a Full Moon when Earth's shadow falls on the Moon.
- Total: Moon fully within Earth's umbral shadow — often turns red ("Blood Moon")
- Partial: Part of the Moon enters the umbral shadow
- Penumbral: Moon passes only through Earth's penumbra — subtle dimming
Astrologically, lunar eclipses bring culminations, revelations and emotional releases — endings that clear the way for new beginnings.
