This is a very different post to what I usually upload. However, since we are approaching eclipse season I’d thought I’d share a post I had written on my Patreon some time ago!
Eclipses often get a bad rep, this is because the energy that surrounds them is so unpredictable. However, they serve as catalysts to enormous change in our lives. This is especially true if an eclipse is occurring on an angle, or if it’s closely aspecting one of your personal planets. The eclipses that will be occurring over the next year are in Aries & Libra!
To see how this eclipse will affect you personally, you need to look to the houses in your chart where you have Taurus and Scorpio. These are the areas of life in which you are likely to see significant change/transformation over the next year and a half.
Solar Eclipses are supercharged New Moons. Whereas, Lunar Eclipses can be described as super charged Full Moons. As mentioned before, people who have fixed rising signs, and personal planets in Taurus & Scorpio will be the most affected by these eclipses.
People who have fixed rising signs, will have these eclipses happening at an angle. This means that the eclipses will occur in their 1st, 4th, 7th, or 10th houses. Transits to the angles are arguably the most potent/important in astrology. As these houses often deal with major life themes/situations.
1st house: If you have an eclipse (solar or lunar) in your 1st house, get ready for some major life changes. Your physical appearance and personality is likely to go through a major transformation. The way in which you relate to the people around you is also likely to change drastically. Interestingly, I’ve seen people who have eclipses in the 1st house move or relocate suddenly! This is because this eclipse is likely to be squaring your 4th house (IC).
2nd house: if you have eclipses in the 2nd house expect to see changes in your financial situation and/or self-worth. These changes may be positive or negative, depending on your other transits and the aspects this eclipse is making to your other placements. Finances and your ability to generate your own income will be at the forefront. You may experience a sudden increase or decrease in money over the next year and a half. Sudden changes in your self-worth may occur too.
3rd House: Eclipses to your third house, highlight issues surrounding communication, learning, siblings, cousins, neighbors and short distance travels. Vehicles may also come into focus at this time. You may get your first car, or let go of an old one. Alternatively, you may begin studying something new, or mend a broken relationship with a cousin or sibling. You will likely be expanding your skill set or you may feel stagnant and blocked in this area. It is also possible that you may have issues with your siblings or cousins at this time. Problems with learning and education may also occur. Alternatively, you may start learning a new skill or language. You may even start taking more short trips, or see an increase of activity in your daily life.
4th House: Eclipses to your fourth house put the focus on home and family. Many times this can represent a move or an addition in the family. At times it May also suggest a transition in the family. You may be renovating or spending more time with family. You may be learning about your roots or culture. Expect to see significant changes in the life of your maternal figure under this transit. You may also notice profound changes in your emotional nature. This is a life changing eclipse!
5th House: Prepare to see positive changes in your creativity. You may even pick up new hobbies or refine an existing one. Your dating life may also come into focus at this time. You may let go of old hobbies or passions that no longer serve you. Alternatively , you may let go of old lovers who no longer serve you. If you are hoping to have a child, this may be the time that this occurs. If you already have children, this could be a major time in their lives. One things for sure, creativity , hobbies and children will come in to focus for you over the next year and a half.
6th house: Your physical health, daily routine, diet and job will come into focus. You may start a new job or wellness regimen. You may lose a lot of weight or make significant changes to your physical health. You may leave an existing job. Your physical health and mental health (it will oppose the 12H) will be a major theme for you over the next year and a half. You may see a remarkable increase or decrease in your physical health or your productivity in general.
7th House: Relationships and close partnerships will be at the forefront. You may meet a new long-term partner, or even get married to an existing one. Alternatively, you may leave a long-term romantic relationship or business partnerships. You may meet a new business partner or take things to the next level with an existing romantic partner. Since this is also the house of open enemies, you may see an increase in opposition. Only your strongest unions will survive this transit, as you are likely to be examining your intimate relationships very closely. Since this is happening on an angle, this is a life changing transit/eclipse. It is likely to be a very memorable time in your life.
8th House: The way in which you view death, sex, shared resources and transformation will change drastically. You may be exposed to any of these themes over the next year and a half. I associate eclipses to the 8th and the 12th houses with a ‘spiritual awakening’ as you will often be put in situations that will test your strength and character. However, you may experience an increase in sexual intimacy/sexual activity, or you may even receive and inheritance or a large some of money. A great deal of transformation is in store for you!
9th House: You may suddenly start traveling more or this may be the time in which you go off to college. You may even graduate from college at this time or leave your country of residence to live in another country. Your religious views may change drastically, you may adopt a new religion or philosophical belief. You may even change your political views. A lot of your personal opinions on education, traveling and religion is likely to change.
10th House: This is also a life changing Eclipse for you. You may start a new career or strengthen an existing one. Alternatively, you may decide to leave a career you’ve been working in for years. Expect to see changes in the life of a significant paternal figure. Changes to your reputation and worldly status, are also likely to occur. An example, you may have been known as Ms. but if you get married the world now knows you as Mrs. Another example, is a student finishing med school during this eclipse and they are officially referred to as Dr. From now on. Major changes in your career/reputation and worldly status will occur,
11th House: Prepare to re-evaluate all of your friendships and ambitions. You will likely lose existing friends at this time, in favor of new friends who align with your purpose and path more. Old friendships may disappear. New friendships may suddenly occur. You may join new communities/social networks. It is possible that you may begin an endeavor on social media or any philanthropic activities. Your dreams, goals and aspirations in life will come in to focus. You may start focusing on one of your biggest dreams or start pursing something you’ve always wanted to do. Your involvement in group activities will also likely grow.
12th House: Everything that you’ve ever repressed mentally will resurface at this time. Any mental health issue you may have may be worsened or made better during this time. This is not meant to be a scary transit. It’s a time I’m which you will need to purge all that has been holding you back psychologically. As mentioned before, you may feel as if this is a ‘dark night of the soul. However, you will become a mentally stronger person after the eclipses in the 12th house, as they force you to deal with any hidden issues you may have.

There may be significant changes in the way in which you relate to men, or prominent male figures in your life. New life beginnings can also be associated with an eclipse to the sun.
