Why Eclipses Matter in Astrology
Eclipses are the most powerful lunations of the year. A solar eclipse is a new moon that lands close to the Moon's nodes, so its fresh-start energy is amplified into a genuine turning point, often bringing sudden beginnings and external change. A lunar eclipse is a full moon in the same alignment, so its culmination energy is heightened into endings, revelations, and release. Because every eclipse sits on the nodal axis, it activates a pair of opposite houses in your chart at once, which is why eclipses so often mark events that shift the balance between two areas of life. Their effects tend to unfold over weeks rather than a single day.
