Eclipses in Astrology
In the astrological tradition eclipses are seen as nodal points: a time when it is customary to sum up, close lingering affairs and change course. Solar eclipses are linked with beginnings, lunar ones with endings. The sign in which an eclipse happens points to the area of life one is expected to think about in this period. This is a language of associations; there is no verifiable evidence that eclipses affect events.

Frequently asked questions
When is the next eclipse?
The next is a annular solar eclipse on February 6, 2027 (maximum at 04:59 PM Warsaw time). The eclipse is not visible from Warsaw.
How does a solar eclipse differ from a lunar one?
A solar eclipse happens at the new Moon, when the Moon covers the Sun from the observer's point of view. A lunar eclipse happens at the full Moon, when the Moon passes through Earth's shadow. A lunar eclipse is seen at once over the whole night side of the planet, a solar one only in a narrow strip.
Can I look at a solar eclipse without protection?
No. Looking straight at the Sun damages the retina even during a partial eclipse. You need special glasses with ISO 12312-2 filters or projection through a pinhole.
