Eclipse calendar
Solar and lunar eclipses 2026
An eclipse happens when a new or full moon falls close to the lunar nodes. There are at least four a year, sometimes five or six, and they usually come in pairs two weeks apart.
Astrologically, eclipses are seen as stronger new and full moons: a solar eclipse opens a new chapter, a lunar eclipse marks a closing or a peak. Their effect isn't limited to one day; it unfolds over months.
Times are the global maximum of each eclipse; seeing one depends on where you are. Visibility isn't required for the astrological reading.
