One of the effects will be change in your life in some way. This is usually a thing that needs to be in order for new
growth and situations to happen. So the old “security blanket” that you will not let go of until the “sure thing”
happens will be removed. Change is not a bad thing it really is a good thing. Sometimes we need to let go of the
old to let new come in and at times we do not realize things block us from allowing these new things to happen. So
eclipses will help you in letting go by showing you these blocks.

After an eclipse happens you will find one area of your life is highlighted in a new way.

Eclipses will always be in the same two signs for an 18-month period until a cycle is done. After that it will not
appear in your sign for another 9 years.

The solar eclipse is always a new moon and tends to bring in new beginnings

The lunar eclipse is always on a full moon and usually brings in endings or culmination points.

Where the eclipse lands on your horoscope house will give you an idea how it will affect your life.

It will bring in rapid speed to areas in your life.

Every nineteen years it will be in your sign again and repeat some of the same things, hence the place it lands in
your sign.

It brings in all kinds of news to you.

An eclipse will change a situation.

A new moon solar eclipse brings in fresh starts.

Eclipses can also delete something or somebody from your life.

A lunar eclipse is always a full moon; it brings on events that are emotional and subjective.

A new moon solar eclipse brings rational, unemotional projects, plans and relationships into being.

Lunar eclipses can involve memories, dreams and hopes, as these are aspects of the moon.

It will bring in usually one big life event: a marriage, birth, new home, the start of college or graduation, a new job,
promotion or start of a new venture. As these are things will have a lasting impression on you.

Not all will be good news; sometimes it might bring a relationship breakup or loss of finances or job. This is do to
the eclipse ability to pull you away from unproductive situations in your life so more better ones come to you.
These things would have happened anyway, but it accelerates things at a much higher speed.

Not all eclipses will affect you. It all depends where it is in your chart. If your Sun, rising sign or other important
planets in your chart are not close enough to the eclipse you could feel little or nothing at all.
