About Solar & Lunar Eclipses
Solar Eclipses (New Moon)
Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Earth and Sun, blocking sunlight. They can be total (Moon completely covers Sun), annular (Moon covers center, leaving a ring), or partial.
Lunar Eclipses (Full Moon)
Lunar eclipses occur when Earth passes between the Sun and Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. Total lunar eclipses create a "Blood Moon" with a reddish hue.
Astrological Significance
In astrology, eclipses are powerful times of change and transformation. Solar eclipses signal new beginnings, while lunar eclipses bring endings and revelations. Events during eclipse seasons often have lasting impact.
