What is an eclipse?
An eclipse is the alignment of Sun, Moon, and Earth that produces a shadow on one or the other. In traditional Western astrology (Robert Hand's Planets in Transit, 1976), eclipses fall along the lunar nodes and mark thresholds of fate, six-month windows where the chart asks for a structural shift, not a small adjustment.
For ritual framing of the four 2026 eclipses alongside every full and new moon of the year, see Selene Tides' 2026 Lunations Library. For the chart-cycle context behind eclipse seasons in your late twenties or fifties, see the Saturn Return guide.
