The Astrological Significance of Eclipses

In this video I talk about the significance of eclipses in astrology, and especially how to determine the personal relevance an eclipse might have for an individual based on where it falls in their birth chart. More details below:

Check out my new series on eclipses here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6aWYZhqpbmgipY

[@TonyLouis9345]

Nicely done. Thanks. It was clear and to the point. I've also notice over the years that eclipses tend to activate the house opposite as well. For example, a few years ago a nurse asked me to look at her chart in light of an upcoming solar eclipse in Cancer, which was her 4th house. She ended up quitting her job in Connecticut to move to Florida to work there in a hospital, so it activated both her 10th and 4th, even though the solar eclipse took place in her 4th.

[@TheAstrologyPodcast]

Definitely! This is also tied in to the corresponding lunar eclipse, which of course will always take place in the house opposite to the solar eclipse. That is a great example of that concept.

[@sparkkeeper77]

What about subtitles for the frenchspeakers little patreon, please?

[@ifnotifso]

Like all of your videos this was very helpful. I really appreciate how information packed your videos are. You are definitely a gem to the field of astrology.

[@beauhanister9318]

Thank you from an intermediate student very straightforward and easy to understand I really look forward to searching out your other videos

[@PleaseHelpICantThinkofaName]

This was explained so well, for people of all levels of experience.

[@inspirationalaries]

At the risk of repeating others positive feedback - what a great video! I’m now a new subscriber to your channel!

[@ThePathOfAshes]

Thank you for this video! You explain it very clearly and structured and while I was aware of the astronomical placement of these occurrences I didn't even think about them actually being a new or full moon. It feels weird I didn't catch that before, but then I've only been actively studying astrology for a year now.

[@posumagic]

I never understood about the north node significance, now I finally get it and more, thank you!!!

[@MG-yh7we]

Amazing information! I’d love to hear about the impact to be born under an eclipse ~ Maybe impact differences between each of them (partial, annular, total; lunar and solar) too and how it affects the people around. Also, the acceptable orbs for people who might be born not exactly the day but maybe three days before/after and so on. ❤ Thank you for spreading your knowledge!!!

[@SierraWatts]

As a Pisces eclipse baby falling on my ac/dc axis, thank you. I find that I’m only alive to experience dark parts in society and then forced into the spotlight sharing these. I laughed seeing Kansas City on the map as that’s where I live, during this eclipse is when I quit social media never planning to come back. Appreciate this

[@betholeary6815]

You are such a great teacher. Thank you!

[@HauntedCerebralAstrology]

Loved watching this 3-years later to see how that 2017 eclipse worked out.

[@marci7717]

Thank you for the great information. Would you please consider making a video addressing eclipses & aspects?

[@Qiroqi]

Anything to say about how a lunar eclipse affects the chart vs. solar eclipse?

[@oliviaroyston]

SO HELPFUL and easy to understand - thank you!

[@andream9977]

Thank you Chris!

[@danielmalusa3092]

Thanks Chris!!! You’re the best!

[@sheepmellow]

This was informative, thank you!

[@jemerrific]

Awesome thorough breakdown, per usual :) is there such a thing when the eclipse aspects the natal nodes? The current new moon in Scorpio is 17 degrees separating from my Libra north node in 10H placidus/11H whole.. (affecting 4H placidus/5H whole in 2 weeks) creating a grand cross involving opposing Saturns and an Aqua moon. I feel the urge to relocate out of the beautiful city but chaotic neighborhood in San Francisco. 😵‍💫

[@maxpayne9507]

Who's here for 21st June, 2020 Solar Eclipse

[@georgio427]

I didn't hear about it till today lol

[@lilmissfire49]

I’m here for the upcoming Nov 30th eclipse (my bday 😁)

[@nataliah4478]

I'm here for Dec 14, 2020 solar eclipse on top of my 1H Neptune T-square Venus Pis, Saturn Vir

[@LadyAmandaReneeMerry]

I'm here in 2024

[@bebodonof4cyteproductions665]

All science put aside an eclipse usually means a major event is going to happen after the 2017 Eclipse we have covid-19 and all of the people who had lost their lives we can expect more events to happen shortly based on these Eclipse that are coming in 2024 as well

[@GypsyJulie]

The eclipse hit in my first house on my Uranus Venus Pluto conjunction which trines my 5th house Moon in Sag. I am not sure how this will unfold, but it does seem to have meaning. I feel excited about it but not sure why yet! :)

[@thisisourchannel3589]

Hi! I just discovered your channel. Interesting content. I'm finding it difficult to find any information on the impact of being born on the day of a lunar eclipse. In my case Super Blue Blood moon. Do you possibly have any particular info on that? The eclipse was at its peak when I was 3 hours old. This is what piqued my interest in astrology. My moon is in 6th house (Cancer) conjunct with the North node. The moon is the only planet by itself on that side of the chart and my sun is in 12th (Capricorn). I became deathly allergic to many things in my 20's (now in 30's) Allergist said its very rare - adult onset to most food - can no longer work in public as too sensitive. My chart even suggests danger portending to physical drowning/asphyxiation. Which describes Anaphylaxis (extreme allergic reaction) - I've experienced this 13 times and lucky to be alive - its insane. My first attack happened whilst on shift anchored away from shore in 2009 - was rushed to hospital with 40 guests onboard having a cocktail party. I'm also highly sensitive to my moon - particularly the full moon. I find it all really interesting. My chart describes leaving my country (correct), marrying a foreigner (correct) and working on the water (I used to work on private yachts where I met my husband), Just felt like sharing :) 🌕

[@alyssabernice5564]

Wonderful video! I'm in a Cancer profection, 7th house year so this eclipse falls in my 8th. My 98 year old grandpa just died. He was a decorated WWII vet. His funeral had some also vibes. Have you ever noticed events taking place the days or weeks before the eclipse that tie into the themes?

[@TheAstrologyPodcast]

Sorry for your loss. Yes, sometimes the energy of eclipses seems to have an orb that can ramp up before the eclipse goes exact, and last for a while afterward. Part of this is because the corresponding lunar eclipse occurred 2 weeks earlier. But also with this eclipse there was a previous New Moon at the beginning of Leo a month ago, so we actually got 2 conjunctions in that sign this year, and both would have been in your 8th whole sign house.

[@hellenvos2733]

Very informative, Chris. Thank you. I wonder: do you use only full eclipses or also annular or appulse ones?

[@TheAstrologyPodcast]

Even partial eclipses that take place within 19 degrees of the nodes seem to be important in terms of the series of eclipses that take place within pairs of signs every 6 months.

[@dvoiceotruth]

Thanks Chris

[@priyaaditya309]

Thank you ❤

[@nemi3642]

Great, thanks!

[@melindamahalo171]

Hi Chris, Could you say whether including an eclipse in an electional chart is benefic or malefic pls? Is it a wise idea to steer clear of them when selecting a date to commence an event? Will the effect will be longer than 6 months in the life of the event? Thank you

[@Yogis406]

Wow! What a great video. I have been single since 2012 and totally want to get married. I have an eclipse on my Venus this December in the 7th house of Sag. Here’s hoping!

[@pat557]

Thanks for the clarifying video. You actually used my exact natal configuration as an example=This eclipse on my VE Which sits @ 29'LE 08"in 7th house! Aside from 7th house focus, would you look at the houses (in my case) ruled by VE?(4&9)

[@TheAstrologyPodcast]

Yes, definitely. The houses that a natal planet that is hit by an eclipse rules can definitely come into play. Even more so if that planet is also activated somehow by profections, either by being activated as the lord of the year, or by being in the sign that the profection has come to.

[@melissakemp2741]

The solar eclipse in aquarius is hitting my Stellium in the 5th house, including my natal sun! Can't wait!

[@jessietijerina2121]

Oh no, how did that go? It happened to me in my fifth house in 2017 and I almost died with my while family in a flood, I lost everything I owned including irreplaceable pictures of family members who have passed and sonogram pictures.

[@MarkBH70]

Thank you! I have close conjunctions with the eclipses. I am concerned because it seems to talk about endings. The best astrologers on KZbin seem to be relatively unknown.

[@aThousand_Words]

with respect, chris is anything but "unknown" in the astrological community at large. check out his amazing podcast, The Astrology Podcast. :)

[@flyhigh5066]

Me too my sun and Mercury will be conjunct eclipse in 10th house what cud happen?

[@aThousand_Words]

thanks for another great video Chris! question: if an eclipse occurs conjunct a planet in the natal chart, should we also look to see what houses that planet rules? also, in the last episode of your award-winning, free, and incredibly easy to find on iTunes and other platforms podcast, The Astrology Podcast, you and eclipse expert Bernadette Brady briefly discussed "eclipse season", the period of time surrounding total eclipses. what would a solar or lunar eclipse mean in a birth chart, and would being born during the season even matter vs. being born on the actual eclipse?

[@TheAstrologyPodcast]

Yes, definitely. The houses that a natal planet that is hit by an eclipse rules can definitely come into play. Even more so if that planet is also activated somehow by profections, either by being activated as the lord of the year, or by being in the sign that the profection has come to. I was actually trying to look up some famous people who were born on eclipses recently in order to research that, but I wasn't finding quite as many as I would like. There were a few interesting ones, like Pope John Paul II, Prince William, and Karl Marx, but there were not as many in my files as I would have expected. I may have been using too tight of orbs with the nodes though, so I may have to keep messing with my variables. So, will have to get back to you on that.

[@jane_7193]

Thank you. A solar eclipse hit exactly on my brother's natal Sun when our father died. Our father was a spiritual man, never any substance use. The eclipse hit also in 2degree orb to my brothers Neptune, and exact on my Neptune. Someone I know, recently lost his father of old age 2nd May 2022. The solar eclipse hit the natal Mars at 10 Taurus of the man who' s father died. This son had since a young man followed his father' s footsteps in building and taking care of the family business. Hie father had been retired for a long time. The natal Mars at 10 Taurus is opposite his natal Neptune, not exact (born -62).

[@PixiePaths]

Very thorough! I have the eclipse hitting my 28 degree midheaven. I can't seem to find anything that speaks to that conjunction. I also have my part of fortune on the degree. My work lately has not been very lucrative, not really making ends meet. It would be nice to think this eclipse will bring more sales my way.

[@Saygimdan27]

Additionally I would Look to the solar Arc for that day, plus Lunar return Chart for that 2-3 months and the year2year solar Return Chart and then bringing all the STRONGLY emphasized topics together. That could be quite accurate...

[@Saygimdan27]

But what has changed Up to now?

[@thepresentmoment5787]

Today I saw a ring of fire annular solar eclipse in Singapore at 1.22pm sgt

[@realghostofdreams]

I may have missed the house preference mentioned, but I am assuming this is in the Whole Sign system. Using that, the eclipse would be in my first. In the common placidus system, it falls in my 2nd. Astrology is hard!

[@realghostofdreams]

Also, the eclipse is 3 degrees away from my natal Saturn--orb too big? I am interested in how the transit Mar and Sat trine my natal MC at 20 Aries, in the hopes it bodes well for career. In the future, maybe help in how to draw up a profection on Solar Fire. Thx m8!

[@2292fa]

Hi Chris - looked st my chart as you suggested. I have Sag 29' asc. The Sun and Moon trine my natal ascendant at the eclipse. How would you look at the impact the eclipse will have on me? (Eclipse hits my 9th House/Leo) -- but I'm not planning on travel, or going back to school, or foreign languages... etc. Pretty much all the 9th H stuff isn't resonating for me.

[@mebutnew]

How did this transit go? Any insights?

[@samara-tq4ip]

Lunar eclipse is on 26th May. That’s my birthday. How will it affect me???

[@thesmilingpaws3372]

I just bought your book and I am so excited, I cannot even read it!

[@Cali_Girl1]

Will this Total Solar Eclipse occurring on April 8th, 2024 have any significant effect on August-born LEO's? If so, in what way?

[@KenyaKonspiracyKorner]

Woop wool 🙌

[@essence830]

5:23 - Chris just revealed my North Node which trines my Venus to the minutes! - wish he would add more meat to that specific degree! =)) 8:02 - 4H

[@tallterrilaw8646]

In 2025 I have a full moon lunar eclipse that falls on my birthday September 7th. This eclipse conjuncts my moon sign of pisces. This is followed by a solar eclipse that conjuncts my sun in virgo.

[@tammylynn6147]

Wow I got sun moon mercury & north node in 🦁♌ in 9th house :) 8-10 1980 1:25 pm I think

[@vanleem.l5278]

Hi, I'm just curious about the question seeing eclipse is it a good sign or bad sign? Some say will bring bad luck? I have heard so many different explanations from people's and confused me. I just trying to figure out and find out the real actual answered? Can you please explained? Thank you 😊

[@jessietijerina2121]

It brought me extremely bad luck in 2017, like tragic luck, the kind of event that had ne thankful that my family and I didnt die. On the other hand, spending a week praying for survival with your family really does show you what really matters so years later, looking back, I'm almost glad Harvey hit us.

Thanks for the avices! Do you know someone who take seriously relationships between music and astrology? I would like to improvise music that is “astrologicaly adjusted”.

[@TheAstrologyPodcast]

I don't know anyone offhand that would be good for that. Maybe Patrick Watson, since he studied music and astrology in college.

[@emanuel_soundtrack]

The Astrology School thanks!

[@desisheredu9163]

Thank you, very interesting. I'm a beginner in astrology and I'm wondering what means when the node is in a different house from the moon and sun during eclipse. Do I have to consider them both? For ex: eclipse lunar nov 2021 nodal axis 1°42 (gemi-sag)and sun-moon opposition 25°taurus-scorpio.

[@ginajaffa5801]

You are very clear and helpful. Reflection of importance of house it is landing on is guidance needed.

[@TXNAT1VE]

One today

[@2292fa]

Came back here on account of the verdicts ruled today in the Cohen and Manafort trials, and how that might be “timed” exactly a year after the Leo Total Eclipse of 2017 in Leo, which is also Trump’s Leo Rising!!!! Discuss!
