Eclipse Calendar — Upcoming Solar & Lunar Eclipses

A real, computed list of upcoming solar and lunar eclipses — genuine New and Full Moons that fall close enough to a lunar node to qualify, found by checking the actual computed node position at each syzygy rather than pulling from a static published eclipse table.

Eclipses near your own natal planets or angles are traditionally read as more significant than an eclipse falling elsewhere in the zodiac — this tool shows every real upcoming eclipse's exact date and zodiac degree so you can check it against your own chart yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do eclipses only happen a few times a year instead of at every New or Full Moon?

Because the Moon's orbit is tilted relative to the Sun's apparent path, most New and Full Moons pass with no eclipse — one only happens when the alignment falls close enough to one of the Moon's two orbital nodes.

What's the difference between a solar and a lunar eclipse?

A solar eclipse happens at a New Moon near a lunar node; a lunar eclipse happens at a Full Moon near a node. This tool checks each against real node-distance limits to flag which type qualifies.

Does this tool show the exact path or magnitude of an eclipse?

No — it identifies real eclipse-season dates from actual Sun, Moon, and node positions, but doesn't model the shadow geometry needed for exact magnitude, path, or visibility from a specific location.

Are eclipses considered more significant than an ordinary New or Full Moon in astrology?

Traditionally, yes — astrology reads eclipses as amplified, fated turning points, especially one falling close to a personal planet or angle in your own chart. That's a traditional framing, not a scientific claim.

Why does an eclipse only show my house placement if I've computed my chart?

Reading an eclipse against your own houses requires your actual computed house cusps — without a natal chart on file, this tool still shows real eclipse dates and signs, just not the house.
