A Library of Eclipses
2005-2023
From American elections to royal pregnancies to the banking crisis of 2008 and the Arab Spring of 2010, many significant global events carry the signature of eclipses. The Ancient Mesopotamians recognised their importance as omens connected to impending political events from as early as the second millennium BCE and today astrologers continue to trace their influence on world affairs – a tradition I and other astrologers have attempted to continue through my forecasts both here and on the AstroInsights blog.
Remember that solar eclipses always occur at New Moon, when the Sun and the Moon are on the same side of the earth, while lunar eclipses take place at Full Moon, when the Moon is at maximum light but, like the summer solstice, on the cusp of waning. As such, SOLAR eclipses often represent the start of a NEW personal cycle, one that may take around six months or so to manifest outwardly, and therefore represent INITIATORY energy; as opposed to LUNAR eclipses, which take place at Full Moon and tend to coincide with inner matters or projects that are culminating or coming to the end of their natural life cycle.
For more information on the symbolism and meaning of eclipses from an astrological perspective, as well as an overview of their relationship to significant historical and cultural events, visit my introduction to Eclipses.
