How do eclipses affect my birth chart?

Eclipses are powerful New and Full Moons that mark significant turning points. Solar eclipses (new beginnings) and Lunar eclipses (endings/culminations) activate the houses and planets they aspect in your chart. Eclipse effects can unfold over 6 months. If an eclipse falls near your birthday or on a personal planet, expect significant changes in that area of life. The North/South Node axis of eclipses indicates karmic themes being activated.
