Eclipses: Not Which Sign, But Which House of Yours
The sign an eclipse falls in is the same for everyone. What decides what it means for you is which house it lands in on your own chart.
An eclipse is the Sun, Moon and Earth lining up. Its date and the exact degree of the sign it falls in are matters of calculation — and that information is identical for everyone on the planet.
What is shared and what is not
| Same for everyone | Yours alone |
|---|---|
| The date and time of the eclipse | Which house it falls in |
| The degree of the sign it occupies | Which planet of yours it touches |
That is why "eclipse in Aries" in a newspaper column is half a fact. If Aries is your 10th house it speaks to your working life; if it is your 4th, to your home.
The type of eclipse
Spatyom does not claim whether an eclipse is total, partial or annular. That requires the Moon's ecliptic latitude at a precision the abbreviated series we use does not carry. What matters in astrology is the degree of the sign the eclipse falls in, and that is given exactly.
We would rather leave something out than write it as though we knew it.
Where you see it
The sky calendar lists upcoming eclipses, retrograde turns, moon phases and sign ingresses. If you have entered your birth details, each event also shows what it means on your own chart.
