The Power and Mystery of Eclipses (2025-2027 dates to put in your calendar)

Eclipses are celestial plot twists, and often rare, unstoppable moments when life rewrites itself without your permission. They strike as turning points that feel fated, leaving behind events so vivid you’ll remember exactly where you were when they unfolded.

Eclipses come in pairs, each marking an ending and a beginning. The South Node shows where something is closing or releasing; the North Node points to the path that’s opening. Their messages tend to surface within a week of the eclipse itself, but news may ripple in up to a month before or after—give or take five days.

If an eclipse falls on your birthday, or within five days either side, expect a year of significance and transformation. Those in harmony with your Sun sign’s element—fire, air, water, or earth—tend to bring a gentler kind of progress.

Solar eclipses typically announce new beginnings. They often point to influential or prominent men, including political leaders.

Solar eclipses occur during a New Moon, when the Moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, temporarily blocking the Sun’s light and aligning the three bodies in a perfect syzygy.

Lunar eclipses tend to unearth revelations—often concerning a significant woman in your life—that can leave you feeling unsteady.

A Full Moon lunar eclipse is impossible to ignore as the Earth slips between the Sun and the Moon. Its shadow stains the Moon in shades of copper and crimson (often seen in photography). It awakens something ancient in us. Her pull toward the heavens is as visceral as it is mysterious.

Eclipses don’t just touch our lives; they often influence or involve those closest to us. Her impact is most felt when the moon (conjunct the North Node and path of destiny) aligns within two degrees of key planets.

What zodiac house is the eclipse occurring in for you? Is there a Sun, Mercury, Venus, or Mars nearby? Pay extra attention to any aspects the eclipse makes to Jupiter (planet of expansion and abundance), Saturn (planet of restriction) or Pluto (sex, death and rebirth).

I will be paying very close attention next month as the eclipses will be closely affecting my finances, both institutional and personal. I have already planned and taken into account the February/March and September eclipses to help me forecast my investment allocations and a month-by-month tactical map for 2025. Luckily, I already know what to buy, sell, or hold.

Eclipses are too pivotal to leave to chance—which is why I analyse each one with exacting care, pinpointing what you must let go of and the path you cannot afford to miss.
