Any eclipse is a harbinger of change. A change can be a beginning or an ending—which are often the same thing because something has to end in order for something else to begin! During an eclipse, these changes are sudden and unpredictable. They don’t have to happen to you personally, either; perhaps they apply to someone close to you, and you feel the repercussions that way.

Sometimes you won’t even be aware of the changes until you reflect back. You might meet someone new on the date of the eclipse, but a romance doesn’t blossom until weeks, or even months, later. Eclipses that happen at a critical degree in your chart more will affect you more strongly than something that is weak or unaspected. The main planetary activity to watch for will concern aspects made to the Sun, Moon, and your ascendant sign.

If at all possible, try to avoid making any life-changing decisions while you’re under the influence of a solar eclipse. There’s a lot of potential with an eclipse, and even the unpleasant influences have a chance to turn out even better than you ever thought they could.

The loss of a job could lead to a better position, for example, or a traumatic relationship breakup could open the door for you to meet someone even more wonderful.

This is all happening in Pisces, which is a very nebulous sign, one that is full of fantasy, creativity, illusion, romance, and wonder.

Neptune, the ruling planet of Pisces, is at 9° Pisces, so there’s quite a strong relationship there, with the eclipse happening within 1°. There’s a caution here not to delude yourself and see things as they truly are. It’s the beginning of a new emotional cycle, and wherever feelings are involved, sometimes rationality takes a vacation! It could take you awhile to make sense of things, particularly if this is at a critical angle in your natal chart.

It doesn’t help matters that Mars is aligning with impulsive and impractical Uranus during this eclipse, making an opposition with Jupiter, and a wide square with Pluto. The Pluto / Uranus square has been engaging off and on for years, now, ever since 2014, and with that things have been intensifying on a global scale.
