Total Solar Eclipse · August 12 · 20° Leo

The Sun goes dark on August 12.
Where does it land in your chart?

A total solar eclipse is the sky's hard reset: an ending and a beginning compressed into one moment. It always lands somewhere specific. Enter your birth details and see the house it activates and the planets it touches, computed live in your browser.

Where the eclipse lands for you

August 28 · Lunar Eclipse · 4° Pisces

Sixteen days later, the Moon answers

Eclipses arrive in pairs. The August 28 lunar eclipse in Pisces closes what the solar eclipse opens, a near-total blood moon at 4° Pisces.

This is the where. The full report is the what.

Your personal eclipse report reads this eclipse against your whole chart: the six-month arc it opens, the theme it puts under review, and the dates around it worth watching.

How it's calculated
Your planet positions are computed in your browser from your birth date, time, and city, using Jean Meeus, Astronomical Algorithms (2nd ed.): full solar theory for the Sun, Chapter 47 periodic terms for the Moon, and Keplerian elements for Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn. Houses are Whole Sign from your ascendant. Eclipse positions (20° Leo on August 12, 4° Pisces on August 28) come from our transit calendar. A contact is reported when the eclipse degree falls within 3° of a natal point by conjunction, square, trine, or opposition; nothing is padded in when the sky is quiet. Your birth data stays in your browser unless you choose to save it.

☉︎ Eclipse Questions

What does a solar eclipse mean in astrology?

A solar eclipse is a supercharged New Moon: the Moon crosses directly in front of the Sun and briefly interrupts the most constant light in the sky. Astrologers read eclipses as accelerants. Where one falls in your chart, beginnings and endings compress, and events often arrive from outside your own planning. The effects are traditionally read over about six months, not just eclipse day.

What if the eclipse doesn't touch anything in my chart?

Then this one is quiet for you, and that's a real answer, not a failure of the tool. Most charts are strongly touched by an eclipse only a few times per decade. The house placement still names the life area under review, and the August 28 lunar eclipse may land differently for you.

Will I see the eclipse where I live?

Totality tracks across the Arctic, Greenland, Iceland, and northern Spain, with a deep partial visible across much of Europe. Astrologically, visibility isn't required: the chart contact matters wherever you are.

Why do you need my birth time?

The sky turns fifteen degrees an hour, so your birth time sets your ascendant, and the ascendant sets which house the eclipse activates. Without it, the planet contacts still hold; the house reading doesn't. If you don't know it, use 12:00 and read the contacts.
