What date is the eclipse in March. Midpoints between eclipses. Our “grand” plans may in fact turn out to be an illusion, and confident promises may turn out to be impossible to fulfill. Therefore, try not to make serious conclusions throughout the week, do not start new projects.

Solar eclipses always awaken burning interest in people. And it is no coincidence, because this is a rare opportunity to “get in touch”, to see the mysterious life of space with your own eyes. In 2016 (by the way, according to the Eastern calendar this will be the year) two stellar - in every sense of the word - performances await us.

First solar eclipse of 2016

The first will take place on March 9. This will be the 52nd total solar eclipse of 130 saros (for those who don’t know – saros or draconic period, equal to 18.3 calendar years, after which solar or lunar eclipses are repeated in the previous order). There are an average of 41 solar eclipses per Saros, about ten of which are total.

The previous eclipse of this saros took place on February 26, 1998, and the next one on March 20, 2034.
The most “convenient places” for observing this phenomenon will be located in southern latitudes, mainly in Southeast Asia, Indonesia, the islands of the Philippines and Oceania, and Australia. The edge of the eclipse will touch China, Korea, Japan, the Russian Far East and Kamchatka; residents of Alaska and the Aleutians will see its incomplete phase.

Solar eclipse in numbers

The duration of the total phase of the eclipse will be 4 minutes. 9 sec. (will only be observed over the Caroline Islands).

1. The partial starts at 23:00. 19 min. 18 sec UT (universal time, the difference with Moscow is 4 hours in summer and 3 hours in winter).
2. Start of full time - 00 o'clock. 15 minutes. 53 sec.
3. End of full - 03 o'clock. 38 min. 14 sec.
4. End of the partial phase – 04 hours. 34 min. 44 sec.
5. Total duration – 5 hours. 15 minutes.

The eclipse will reach its maximum phase at the point with coordinates:

- 10.1 degrees north latitude;
— 148.8 degrees east longitude.

The width of the shadow from the solar eclipse will cover an area of ​​155 km.

Second solar eclipse of 2016

The second performance in 2016 will be given by the heavenly bodies on the first of September. But this will already be an annular eclipse, in the terminology of astronomers - an annular solar eclipse. This phenomenon received the name “ring” due to the laws of celestial mechanics, since the shadow of the Moon is not able to completely cover the Sun, as a result of which we can observe the glow of a thin ring of the photosphere around the Moon.

This eclipse will pass even further south and will not touch the northern hemisphere at all. Residents of the northern part of Madagascar and the population of the southern part of the African continent will be able to observe it.

The duration of the September eclipse will be just under 6 hours.

Starts at 06:00. 13 min. 03 sec UT.
Ends at 12 o'clock. 00 min. 27 sec.

And to complete the picture, let us recall that in 2015 there will also be two solar eclipses. One of them – the full one – has already taken place, it happened on March 20. It was noteworthy because for the first time in the last ten years it was observed throughout the entire European territory. The second - partial - we will be able to see on September 13.

Lunar and solar eclipses of 2016

At all times, eclipses have been given special attention - they were studied as a phenomenon, used in various mystical rituals, taken into account when planning important matters, etc. In the Middle Ages, many interpreters saw eclipses as an evil omen and believed that they caused negative events and phenomena, such as war, famine or natural disasters. Nowadays, eclipses are perceived completely differently. Modern astrology claims that eclipses also have a positive meaning. Eclipses bring us opportunities!

In 2016, we expect 5 eclipses: 3 lunar and 2 solar.

Total solar eclipse on March 9, 2016 at 04:54:14 (Moscow time) at 18°56″ sign Pisces

This will be the 52nd eclipse of 130 Saros. Its previous “analogue” occurred on February 26, 1998. This eclipse cycle is associated with the completion of something important. If we go back to Russia's past, then after this eclipse on March 23, 1998, the government of Viktor Chernomyrdin, as unable to cope with the economic crisis, was dismissed. President Yeltsin appointed acting Prime Minister S.V. Kiriyenko. A.B. Chubais was also relieved of his post. Among other things, active opposition efforts were carried out to force the resignation of President B.N. Yeltsin. Some trends of the hot political spring of 18 years ago may repeat again, but the main political figures will be different people.

The eclipse will be total and therefore very significant, fateful for the whole world. The eclipse accentuates the Virgo/Pisces axis—the axis of service. Order and love, people and God. This eclipse continues the cleaning program in the territory of one’s own life. A new perspective may appear on the horizon, and something important will begin to lose its former significance and move away.

The Eclipse in Pisces on March 9, 2016 will bring a lot of mystery and mysticism to a number of important events. High-profile revelations and scandals based on intrigue and deception are possible. Completely unpredictable and unexpected situations can occur. Situations related to the spiritual world, self-knowledge and intuition will come first. Also, the sign of Pisces is associated with people of creative professions, which increases the likelihood of very talented works appearing during this period.

An eclipse in Pisces gives us hope for peace, humanity and spiritual harmony (the highest manifestation of Pisces). But we must not forget that along with the highest there is always a wrong side - for Pisces these are deceptions, forgeries, behind-the-scenes games, stupefactions, mass delusions and illusions.

During the days of a solar eclipse there is a lot of energy, which can make us take rash actions. To survive the solar eclipse in Pisces with minimal losses, we will have to give up hopes for a favorable outcome and abandon rose-colored glasses. It is important to maintain purity (at the level of matter, feelings and mind). It is better to observe the events taking place with a calm heart and eyes wide open, without turning away or becoming emotionally involved. You can remind yourself that everything around you is nothing more than a matrix.

Our “grand” plans may in fact turn out to be an illusion, and confident promises may turn out to be impossible to fulfill. Therefore, try not to make serious conclusions throughout the week, do not start new projects, and beware of sudden movements and urgent decisions. Decisions made during an eclipse will indeed come true, but in reality they may turn out to be unnecessary, reckless, and even capable of harming you.

Eclipses in Pisces usually bring water-related disasters (from tsunamis to extreme rainfall) and problems for the fishing industry. They foretell the premature death of famous personalities. Perhaps on the eve of the eclipse, immoral actions of people on religious grounds or in connection with the law will become known.

2) People - the impact of the eclipse will be felt especially acutely by people whose significant horoscope elements are in the signs of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini and Sagittarius. For those who have personal planets and important points (Asc, MC) in the natal chart between 14 and 24 degrees of mutable signs, it will also have a significant impact.

Penumbral lunar eclipse on March 23, 2016 at 14:59:11 (Moscow time) at 03°17″ of the sign Libra.

The eclipse belongs to 142 Saros and is number 18 of the 74 eclipses in the series. All eclipses in this series occur at the waxing node of the Moon.

On a global level, the lunar eclipse on March 23, 2016, which will occur on the Libra/Aries axis, will raise legal issues. International laws, regulations, agreements, pacts and treaties adopted and concluded at this time will have major consequences for the development of the state in the future.

The lunar eclipse, which will occur on March 23, 2016, will reveal the need for a peaceful resolution of military conflicts. This eclipse may well lead to significant negotiations on the fate of individual states and the world as a whole. Ordinary people need to strive for cooperation, not oppose themselves to others, and try to resolve emerging conflicts using civilized methods.

Under the influence of an eclipse, a desire for independence and freedom may suddenly arise, and a desire to take a non-standard decision may appear. However, even if you think that you are completely ready to accept new realities, you should not rush to act; it is better to try to restrain yourself from hasty decisions.

Who will be most affected by the eclipse:

1) Countries and territories - Syria, Saudi Arabia (Mecca), Libya, China, France, England, Venezuela, New Zealand, Moldova, Slovakia, Austria, Burma, South Africa, Hawaii, Greece (islands), Monaco, USA (south ), Australia, East and South Asia, Central and South America, Indian and Pacific Oceans. Part of Russia - Eastern Siberia, Sakhalin and Kamchatka; Arctic, Antarctica.

2) People - the most sensitive to the influence of the eclipse will be people of the cardinal signs: Libra, Cancer, Capricorn, and Aries. If your natal chart contains personal planets and important points (Asc, MC) at 9-19 degrees of cardinal signs, then you will also be affected by it.

Penumbral lunar eclipse on August 18, 2016 at 12:25:37 (Moscow time) at 25°52″ sign Aquarius

This lunar eclipse carries signatures of emotional sensitivity, spiritual knowledge, psychic openings and the recognition of hidden creative and artistic abilities. It promotes themes of global unity, humanity, creativity and ingenuity. The issues of transformation that bring new perspectives to old situations will be relevant now. Spiritual commitments can manifest easily and effortlessly during this time. This is especially true for literary and creative endeavors that carry the intention of helping others on a global scale. Humanitarian activities will receive greater support. Anything undertaken with the intention of helping or bringing the highest benefit to all will gain wings during this August lunar eclipse.

Like all things, the old must be cleared away to make way for the new. This lunar eclipse in Aquarius has the power to disrupt situations that are not aligned with the energies of the New Time.

Eclipses in Aquarius often bring tornadoes, storms, hurricanes, torrential rains, social upheavals and revolutions, military events, and technical disasters.

Since ancient times, it has been believed that Russia belongs to the zodiac sign Aquarius. Naturally, cosmic phenomena occurring in this sign influence political events in Russia. Let us note that eclipses, as a rule, do not bring anything good to the states in whose sign they occur. To “look beyond the horizon,” let’s consider previous eclipses, because according to logic, what has been will be in the future. In 2016, the first penumbral eclipse in Aquarius, in 2017-2018. There will be one solar and two lunar eclipses in Aquarius. During previous eclipses in Aquarius in Russia, the leader of the country changed 9 times (in 1917 - three times!). In four eclipse periods in Russia (USSR), there was chaos or a serious weakening of power. Most likely, this will happen in 2016-2018. Naturally, military events are also possible, as they have happened before.

Who will be most affected by the eclipse:

1) Countries and territories - Russia (northern and European parts), Serbia, Lebanon, Iraq, Lithuania, Poland, New Zealand, Finland, Scotland, Chile, Canada, Sweden, Argentina, Peru, Ethiopia.

2) People - the eclipse will affect the destinies of people born with personal planets and points (Asc, MC) at 21-30 degrees of fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius) and at 0-1 degrees of mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius , Fish).

Annular solar eclipse September 1, 2016 at 12:02:50 (Moscow time) at 09°21″ sign Virgo

This will be the 39th eclipse of 135 Saros. The axis of the shadow will pass between the center of the Earth and the south pole. This Saros series talks about realism, about trying to get down to earth. People will begin to realize the old situation and see it as it is, and not as they thought it was. This can be a constructive time to discover the truth.

At the previous eclipse 18 years ago, Russia experienced a technical state default. The ruble to dollar exchange rate has fallen three times. The government of S. Kiriyenko was dismissed, and the candidacy of E. M. Primakov was approved as the new prime minister on the third attempt, who was subsequently able to lead the country out of the deepest economic crisis.

History never literally repeats itself, so we shouldn’t expect an absolute repetition of the difficult situation of 1998, but some trends may repeat themselves. Perhaps, around September 1, 2016, we will see major reshuffles in the Russian government and a change in economic course for the benefit of the country.

On a personal level, the 2016 solar eclipse will bring grounding energy, helping you see things from a practical perspective. If you are considering plans for the future, ask yourself how realistic they are. Castles in the air might be inspiring at other times, but not now. Virgo is critical and picky, so new plans need to be considered taking into account all the details, all the pros and cons must be analyzed.

The Solar Eclipse in Virgo holds great potential for healing sanity and returning to reality. Its energy makes it possible to look at the world with new eyes, as if awakening from one’s sleep. It kicks off a period of trial and error that will lead to a new balance of power and subsequent transformation.

The influence of Pluto, the planet of transformation, is clearly expressed here, indicating the radical nature of subsequent changes and their inevitability. Most likely, they will be timely and will lead to the best, but they will not be easy, causing tension.

Who will be most affected by the eclipse:

1) Countries and territories - Gulf of Guinea, Africa (Gabon, Congo, DRC, Tanzania and Mozambique), Madagascar, Indian Ocean, South Asia. Brazil, Crete, Kurdistan, Croatia.

2) People - the interests of people born with personal planets and points (Asc, MC) at 4-14 degrees of mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces) will be affected.

Penumbral lunar eclipse September 16, 2016 22:04:50 (Moscow time) at 24°20″ in the sign of Pisces

This eclipse belongs to 147 Saros and is number 9 of the 71 eclipses in the series. On the Pisces/Virgo axis, this is the penultimate eclipse (the last one will take place on February 26, 2017). During an eclipse in Pisces, important issues may arise from the past and need closure. Long-term global processes are coming to an end, and our progress needs to be checked.

The past is gone. Lost opportunities will never come back. On the energies of this eclipse, many problems and contradictions that have accumulated over the past years will become visible, many illusions will be destroyed, unsolved mysteries will disappear, and some things will lose their value.

The eclipse will affect issues governed by the signs of Pisces and Virgo - healthcare, science, everyday work, customer service (Virgo) and religion, culture, mysticism, alcohol and tobacco products, oil and gas production (Pisces). Changes will occur in the life of every person and in the social sphere of the state as a whole. Around the eclipse, questions in the field of medicine may be raised again. Quite painful problems for modern society will be dissolved - loneliness, lack of spirituality, selfishness...

During the eclipse of the Moon in Pisces, everything you have sown will return to you: you may encounter minor or major deception. You will be very irritated and lose control of yourself. The result is long-term poor health. The tendency to imagine escape is another problem with this eclipse.

Who will be most affected by the eclipse:

1) Countries and territories - Israel, Palestine, Egypt, Portugal, Korea, Ceylon, Finland, India (eastern), Malta, Uruguay, Romania, Venezuela, Hawaii, Nepal, Asia, Australia, Indonesia and the countries of Oceania, western USA , Pacific Ocean, eastern part of Russia (Kamchatka, Sakhalin and Primorye).

2) People - the impact of the eclipse will be felt especially acutely by people whose significant horoscope elements are in the signs of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini and Sagittarius. For those who have personal planets and important points (Asc, MC) in the natal chart between 19 and 29 degrees of mutable signs, it will also have a significant impact.

Midpoints between eclipses

In addition to the eclipses themselves, the midpoints between eclipses are no less important. The middle point is a point of calm, a point of complete inaction, ignorance, incomprehensibility and unpredictability. This is the point of almost zero fate, the zeroing of fate. At the midpoints, you should be prepared for the most unexpected “gifts of fate”, because regardless of the quality of the events occurring on this day - good or bad, they carry the dynamics of the blow. Planning for the midpoint is completely useless, because on such a day everything will turn out completely differently, not as you expected. No projects or plans that happen to be planned at the midpoint are destined to come true. How to behave on such special days? For example, at the middle point you can allow yourself to do what you think you will never be able to do. The midpoint energizes only the most incredible events. She does not favor the planned, predictable and proven - it immediately goes to waste. Try it, check it out. Take risks at this time, play with fate. Our life is full of mysticism and secrets, and such strange moments of the year become an opportunity for us to change something in life, even if we don’t really believe in it.

Solar and lunar eclipses in astrology are considered points of concentration of energy, a kind of portals that open transformations. Astrologers of the Middle Ages viewed them as ominous omens leading to disasters: wars, famine, destruction and others.

Modern astrology has moved away from such an interpretation. It is now believed that eclipses offer the potential for development and transformation, both in personal life and on a societal level. There are four eclipses in 2016, of which two are solar and two are lunar. Each of them has powerful energy, especially the second pair in September. The influence of these celestial phenomena will bring important changes, affecting how our lives will unfold in the coming periods. Read this article about when the next eclipse will occur and what impact it will have.

Solar eclipses 2016

Solar eclipse September 1, 2016

An annular solar eclipse will take place on September 1, 2016 at 09:01 UTC or 12:01 Moscow time at 9°19’ of the sign Virgo. This celestial phenomenon is visible across much of Africa and Madagascar. In Russia, the eclipse is not available for observation. Unlike the March total solar eclipse, the September one is annular. In this case, the Moon does not completely cover (eclipse) the Sun, leaving visible the bright ring of the uncovered part of the solar disk.

Like the previous one, the annular solar eclipse on September 1 activates the negative aspects of the planets in the mutable signs of the Zodiac: the point of conjunction of the Sun and Moon forms an opposition with Neptune in Pisces and at the same time makes a square with Mars and Saturn in Sagittarius. The presence of Mars in the planetary configuration warns against erroneous actions that can lead to losses, as well as overexertion of forces. It is advisable to be careful not to awaken dormant problems, otherwise they will worsen. Avoid escalating tensions because... the resulting conflict may drag on for a long time.

Lunar eclipses 2016

Lunar Eclipse September 16/17, 2016

The second lunar eclipse of 2016 occurs on September 16, 2016 at 18:54 UTC or 21:54 Moscow time, it is also penumbral. The Moon is located at 24°20' Pisces and the Sun is at 24°20' Virgo. The lunar eclipse can be observed throughout Russia, including Moscow, as well as in Europe, Asia, Australia and East Africa.

The opposition of heavenly bodies on the zodiac axis Pisces - Virgo draws our attention to how the spiritual and material are interconnected in our lives. The qualities of the two signs are opposite - the dreaminess of Pisces and the practicality of Virgo, so the task here is to combine fantasy with reality. The intense aspect of the lunar eclipse axis with Mars in Sagittarius warns that rash actions can have unpleasant consequences.

On March 9, 2016, we will experience a total solar eclipse, which will begin at 2 hours 19 minutes Moscow time and end at 7 hours 34 minutes. The total duration of the eclipse will be 5 hours 15 minutes, and the maximum phase will occur at 4 hours 58 minutes 19 seconds Moscow time (01:58:19 UTC).The solar eclipse will take place in the sign of Pisces. A solar eclipse in March will kick off 2016's cycle of five eclipses. The solar eclipse on March 9 will be total, therefore very important and fateful for the whole world.During an eclipse, the Virgo/Pisces axis is activated, which symbolizes such qualities as beneficence, bestowal, service to goodness and higher ideals.Therefore, those who want to receive pleasant bonuses from the stars and fate, on the day of the eclipse on March 9, will need to show these qualities of mercy, help, bestowal, and pay more attention to others. On this day, it is better to discard personal egoism and provide help to everyone who asks you for it.

This solar eclipse will continue the program of last year's solar eclipse - in their lives, everyone will have to decide what to leave and take with them into the future, and what needs to be immediately and decisively gotten rid of.

Astronomers call the upcoming March eclipse the 52nd eclipse of 130 Saros, an 18.3-year cycle of repeating solar and lunar eclipses. The last solar eclipse of this type was in 1998, which was extremely difficult for Russia. Our country was plunged into an economic crisis, which was preceded by a hard default. All these events literally pushed many towards change and renewal. Astrologers consider the 130th Saros a cycle of completion; everything that has outlived its useful life must go away forever.

The total solar eclipse on March 9 will occur in the sign of Pisces, so issues of physical and spiritual health and harmony will be important this year. Serious changes must affect the healthcare sector. Some familiar and proven methods and methods of treatment may be considered ineffective. Traditional medicine, on the contrary, will gain even more supporters. A situation may also arise in which the spiritual values ​​established in society will be subject to revision.

Pisces is a sign of Water, so most of the natural disasters in 2016 will be related to water: in the form of floods or droughts. Therefore, 2016 may become a lean year.

An eclipse will bring incomprehensible, unexpected situations and confusion to your personal life. This is indicated by the activation of the Descending Lunar Node. A solar eclipse as an astrological phenomenon often provokes people to break up outdated relationships and provides an opportunity to take a step into their new future.

The eclipse on March 9 will accelerate all processes familiar to us. But it will especially strongly affect the pace of life of Pisces and Libra.

During an eclipse, for an observer on Earth, the Moon completely or partially covers the Sun. From an astrological point of view, solar eclipses lay the program for a new cycle of both social and personal development. During an eclipse, a huge amount of energy is released, but how it is used depends on the individual and personal efforts. Accordingly, the results can be both positive and negative.

Solar eclipses create conditions for new beginnings and open up bright new opportunities. The coming year 2016 is not only a leap year, but also stands out from others in that it has not 4 eclipses like last year, but 5. This year we will all be influenced by two solar eclipses and three lunar eclipses. All 5 eclipses of 2016, according to astrological forecasts, will bring with them significantly more changes than the eclipses of the last 2015. In addition, all 5 eclipses this year will be more dramatic and transformative, which will entail big changes in many areas of life, both personal and public.

The sun gives us activity and during a solar eclipse gives us strength. In emotionally unstable people, attacks of aggression worsen during this period, they become unpredictable, conflict situations flare up, and mental disorders worsen.

An eclipse can cause great destruction from tsunamis and floods; problems can occur in all countries where people live near the sea or ocean. The effects of the eclipse will begin shortly after the solar eclipse.

Since Pisces is an emotional sign, the processes taking place in the world and in the life of every person will have undesirable effects. The effects of this solar eclipse can be disruptive, unexpected and stressful. Many actions and actions will be performed on emotions.

An eclipse in March may entail the final completion of some processes, since the Sign of Pisces is the last, completing Sign in the zodiac circle.

Pisces is a mysterious sign, so the meaning and results of an eclipse in this zodiac sign may not be entirely obvious. Just as representatives of the sign of Pisces are able to elude people and situations, so the meaning of an eclipse can elude full understanding. The Zodiac sign Pisces is ruled by Neptune, which in astrology has the fame of the “great mystifier” and is responsible for intuition, secrets, art, and religious feelings.

For the arts and creative professions, a solar eclipse can bring a beneficial effect, promising a period of new opportunities, inspiration and the discovery of talents.

The day has strong energy, so magical rituals performed on March 9 will bring excellent results. Since a solar eclipse is essentially a new moon, it is good to do all the new moon rituals that are about new beginnings and wish fulfillment. Desires can relate to love, work, business, money, real estate and anything else that you want to attract into your life, start, develop or promote to a higher level. Remember only to be practical and realistic in your intentions and take into account the interests of other people so that your desires do not conflict with them.

In addition, this day is suitable for meditation, reflection on existing situations and prospects, and planning for the future. When meditating, it is good to use stones of the zodiac sign Pisces: amethyst, aquamarine, blue agate and other blue, green and turquoise colors.

As usual, a week before and a week after the end of the eclipse, it is not recommended to make vital decisions, as well as travel and start new significant activities, for example, building a house, buying real estate, opening a bank account, opening a company. These are also unfavorable periods for planning weddings and conceiving children. Eclipse periods are best suited for carrying out all types of cleansing: space, workplaces, homes, bodies (mental, physical), as well as for practicing various spiritual practices, prayers, meditations, reading the Holy Scriptures, studying astrology and psychology. Eclipse periods are very good for deep inner awareness and transformation.

During the period of a solar eclipse, as well as in the interval of several days, and sometimes a month, before and after the eclipse of the Sun, you may perform not entirely thoughtful and logical actions, although initially it will seem to you that you are doing the right thing. Therefore, it is better to abandon important matters in advance during this time in order to protect yourself from surprises and disappointments in the future, especially when it comes to decision-making, when you need to keep your finger on the pulse and manage the situation.

It is recommended not to make important decisions during the eclipse itself; don't sleep; It is not recommended to eat food 3 hours before and 3 hours after the eclipse; it is unfavorable to have sex, especially to conceive children; food should not be left open; It is better to sit indoors and engage in spiritual practices. The most important rule of behavior during a solar eclipse is limiting contact with direct sunlight. And this means being at home during a solar eclipse. Don't look at the Sun during an eclipse.

Before an eclipse, especially in the last 2-3 days, you need to carry out all kinds of cleansing - do a general cleaning of the house, get rid of old things, information, relationships, people, mental attitudes and everything that has already become obsolete and is already in the way.

Solar eclipses (during the new moon) stimulate a crisis in consciousness, change our internal attitudes, bringing events that we did not consciously cause, dictated by external circumstances (situations determined by karmic predetermination are realized). A solar eclipse opens up a new cycle of life and brings to the fore matters that require urgent attention. A solar eclipse gives events an impetus that can be felt in our personal affairs for several years.

During solar eclipses, you need to set clear goals for yourself. On the first lunar day after a solar eclipse, sit in front of a candle. On a blank sheet of paper, write a list of your desires (optionally, a business plan). The most important thing is that all plans and desires must be limited in time and have specific solutions and results. The more desires and plans, the more work you will have to do. Therefore, before entering it on the sheet, you need to seriously and in detail think about what is really required to fulfill all your desires. It is recommended to select the most important and defining ones.

The eclipse has a strong impact on us. You can find out from an astrologer whether the influence will be favorable or unfavorable by drawing up an individual horoscope.

TaroTaro wishes you success and prosperity.

There will be five eclipses in 2016: 3 lunar and 2 solar. From an astrological point of view, eclipses are new moons or full moons that occur near the nodes. Emotional sensitivity increases during these periods, so special care and caution must be exercised, starting three days before the eclipse and three days after the eclipse.

Solar eclipses– start a new topic, or introduce formalized trends that were previously present implicitly.

Lunar eclipses- are the culmination of a theme and indicate the beginning of the completion of something.

Solar eclipse March 9, 2016(04:54 Moscow time) will take place at 19 degrees in Pisces. The medieval astrologer William Lilly wrote that when an eclipse occurs in a two-body sign (which includes Pisces), it complicates matters for rulers or chief officials. There is an opportunity to check how it works. Several planets will take part in the eclipse: Chiron, Neptune, Jupiter and Saturn.

Jupiter and Saturn have been in conflict for a long time, Jupiter is trying to expand, and Saturn is trying to restrain. So far, Saturn is winning due to the weakening of Jupiter in Virgo. Opportunities for travel, education, and empowerment are reduced. Time is now very tough in setting tough and specific goals. Therefore, you should not make grandiose plans for the period of the eclipse. It is generally better to refuse Jupiterian affairs (travels, training, presentations, purchases of expensive things). It is also unfavorable to start serious projects, business, construction; it is also better to postpone appealing to bureaucratic authorities until later. Neptune located near the eclipse point will impose its theme. And this is illusoryness, vagueness of perception, chaos, incomprehensibility, or strong immersion in something. You may suffer losses due to confusion or deception. It is beneficial to engage in art, creativity, listen to music, mantras, prayers. This time is passive, deep, contemplative.

The eclipse will be especially felt by those who have important points in the horoscope in the 17-19th degrees of the moving cross: Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius. Those born on March 8-9, December 7-9, September 9-10, June 5-9 will be able to feel the impact of the eclipse well.

Lunar eclipse March 23, 2016(14:59 Moscow time) will take place at 4 degrees along the Aries-Libra axis. According to Lilly, an eclipse along this axis leads to religious disputes (and indeed to any serious disputes, following the logic of these signs). The eclipse is notable for the fact that the background will be an exact square of Jupiter-Saturn - and this configuration causes contradictions in society, systemic misunderstanding, and social crisis phenomena. Chiron will connect with the southern node - the planet of the conjunction of the incongruous. When Chiron is turned on, reality turns out to be more fantastic than any fantasy. The sun will be on Mercury, which will give words special power during this period. The word is not a sparrow - this proverb must be especially observed during the lunar eclipse on March 23.

The eclipse will have a special impact on those who have planets in 3-4 degrees of cardinal signs: Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn. People born on December 23-24, March 23-24, June 23-24, September 25-25 will be able to feel it.

Lunar eclipse August 18, 2016(12:25 Moscow time) will occur at 26 degrees along the Leo-Aquarius axis. This is the axis of creativity, freedom, self-expression. It is noteworthy that Neptune will be on the southern node, and Venus will be on the northern node. The source of strength will be the spiritual principle, and the vector of application of strength will be beauty, love, art - according to Venus. This eclipse will be calming in nature, because it will provide a favorable outlet for energy.

This energy can best be felt by those who have planets in 25-26 degrees of the fixed cross: Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio. And also those who were born on August 17-18, February 17-18, November 16-17, May 15-16.

Solar eclipse September 1, 2016(12:02 Moscow time) will occur at 10 degrees Virgo. The eclipse activates a serious tau square in the mutable cross, and in addition, two evil stars - Antares - Aldebaran, forming the axis of catastrophes. Even a superficial glance at the celestial pattern of this time will show that goodness should not be expected from it. You need to exercise maximum caution so as not to harm your health, avoid getting into an unpleasant situation, and, if possible, refrain from traveling and participating in dubious activities. An eclipse involves two malefic planets: Mars and Saturn. When combined, they cause destruction, hatred and enmity in the most powerful and uncompromising form. Added to this configuration is the negative influence of Neptune, which triggers religious wars... and this may well become a reality, given the extremely turbulent situation in the world.

Those who have planets in 9-10 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Sagittarius and Gemini can feel the energy of the eclipse especially acutely. And also those born on August 31 - September 1, November 29-30, February 27-28, May 28-29.

Lunar eclipse September 16, 2016(22:04 Moscow time) will occur at 25 degrees along the axis of Virgo and Pisces. During the eclipse, tense Mars will be manifested - the emotional background will be tense, aggressiveness and conflict will be increased. Chiron, who will also take part in the eclipse, can show aggressiveness in very unusual and non-standard forms. Mercury retro in opposition to Neptune - the sleep of reason gives birth to monsters...

Take care of yourself, increase your awareness, and do not give in to negative emotions - and you will be able to go through a series of eclipses without harming yourself.
