The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces opens the gates to one of the zodiac’s most imaginative and dreamlike territories. This is a place of fantasy, prophecy, nostalgia and visions, where the boundaries between past, present and future merge. Under this Eclipse, the collective imagination is heightened, and symbols may speak louder than words. The collective may become more receptive to dreams, symbolism and strange coincidences, with seemingly unrelated events suddenly forming a meaningful pattern. Artists, musicians, writers and anyone working with imagination can tap into this unusually fertile psychic atmosphere!
What it mean for each sign:
Eclipse In 1st House ~ Leo- This Solar eclipse is very much like a rebirth. A seed moment where you can make some powerful manifestation magic in your life. Be careful what you wish for because any strong intentions make at this Solar Eclipse will grow! This is the dawn of a new cycle for you. A reboot from the cosmos, that will shake you up so much that you will also find a domino effect on other foundational areas. That means changes will affect also your family life, career or calling and your relationship if you have one. This is probably the most powerful Eclipse you could ever have in your life, but more especially if the Eclipse will conjunct the ascendant. In that case, it will life-changing if you happen not to be too happy with the way things have turned out for you so far.
Eclipse In 2nd House ~ Cancer- The effects of an eclipse in your possessions and values zone are variable. Because this is the house of money, people often worry about a financial crisis when an eclipse falls here. But there is just a very slim chance and only possible if this eclipse closely aspects a personal planet here, or hits the ruler of this house by hard aspect. (Check house 2 and its ruler.) And even if a credit crunch does occur, eclipses in your self-worth zone are simply opportunities to see how much you value yourself.
Eclipse In 3rd House ~ Gemini- The solar eclipse in your mind and communication zone zaps your brain synapses and resets all your local connections. Networks that you are plugged into get fire-wired into action and your mind becomes hungry for new information. You could go back to school or simply be called to initiate some personal study and research. Picking up new skills is highlighted/relearning something that breaks you out of bad habits.
Eclipse In 4th House ~ Ta**us-This Solar eclipse could be a life-changing event. It is all the more potent if it triggers any personal planets in this house of your roots, father and property. (Check house 4 and its ruler.) What this period will bring up for you then is any childhood wounds that have not been addressed. If you had a dysfunctional upbringing then this period can be very challenging. Events in your daily life can bring up long-buried feelings, seemingly from nowhere in the next 6 months. It may be very helpful to take a trip somewhere that is meaningful to your ancestors. It is important to go somewhere relatively unspoilt and solitary, so you can have some quiet contemplation with the land.
Eclipse In 5th House ~ Aries-Your house of fun is in for an exciting injection of adrenaline. A solar eclipse in this ‘children and pleasure’ zone could be dramatic in both good and bad ways. It’s kind of like letting a very hungry 5-year-old loose on a chocolate fudge cake. The sugar rush can be both hilarious or dangerous depending on where the child is. The same goes for your dear self. New relationships brought into your life by this eclipse can be giddy and instantly euphoric. The romantic bliss can be so off the scales that you don’t even notice you are crossing a busy high road to get to them.
Eclipse In 6th House ~ Pisces- This Solar eclipse will tell you a great deal about how at ease you are with your daily routine. Are you happy with your day job and your working hours? Do you get a sense of satisfaction with serving others, or do you feel like the office slave? Have you had trouble saying no to clients and as a consequence been on the treadmill for what seems like forever. The mind/body connection is awakened big time with this eclipse. Dis-ease is exactly what the word says. It arises because your body is unhappy with what you are throwing at it. (or letting others throw at it!). If you don’t learn to say ‘no’ then your body itself will have to speak very loudly to compensate. This means there is the possibility at this eclipse you could suddenly feel burnt out and exhausted.Get plenty of rest and prioritize self care!
Eclipse In 7th House ~ Aquarius- Your romantic relationships, or lack of them, are given a great cosmic shot in the arm by the Solar Eclipse. This can work out in a variety of ways. The ‘shot’ can have you instantly feeling incomplete and empty until you get your next hit. That means the next six months could have you constantly pining for your mystical other half. You will experience a yearning for a soulmate which might prompt you into doing something to rectify that solo situation, something you might not have been motivated to do before. Therefore it really could be that the classic Eclipse in the house of marriage, actually does bring a marriage! (Or at least a marriage of sorts.) You could also form a partnership that could be life-changing in terms of business too. Legal contracts are highlighted, so important deals can be signed during this time also. The Solar eclipse has the effect of reinforcing satisfying and balanced relationships, but also of splitting apart weak or draining connections.
Eclipse In 8th House ~ Capricorn- It can be very hard to tell what could happen with a Solar Eclipse in the house of debt, psychology sorcery and the taboo. It’s meant to be a mystery! But one thing is for sure, it will highlight the importance of working on your shadow. Sometimes this shadow work happens because we are forced to deal with the unsavoury subjects of inheritance, debt or your partner’s extravagant spending habits…Looking at shadow subjects can bring out the very ugliest side of human nature. Much depends on your own soul’s evolution. You may be the kind of person who relishes in delving deep into occult subject matter/reading psychology books. If so, then this eclipse will pass like a breeze. But the real issue is doing your self-work, so in your research, you might bump into some of your demons.
Eclipse In 9th House ~ Sagittarius- An eclipse in your house of philosophy could trigger a crisis in morals and ethics. You will be prompted to address your life code and the standards you live by. Events force you to question the beliefs you grew up with and send you on a quest for wisdom and truth. This search could prompt you to start an education course that at the same time promotes cultural expansion, self-awareness and personal growth. The study is not simply about gaining qualifications to further your career (Though this is a pleasant side effect.), but rather it’s about something intangible that alters your beliefs and shifts you out of your programmed assumptions about religion and spirituality.
Eclipse In 10th House ~ Scorpio- This is one of the foundational houses of your chart so a solar eclipse here (Especially if it is also close to the MC) could prompt a life-changing career move. You are compelled to advance your status in the world and could feel dissatisfied in your job if it doesn’t provide the opportunity to climb the ladder of success.
You desire recognition for your talents and if you do not feel they are being seen, then some event could occur where you are thrust unfairly into the shadows. This will leave you feeling all the more frustrated. The sense of resentment is a powerful spur to make you far more proactive in your quest for recognition.
Eclipse In 11th House ~ Libra- With the Solar Eclipse in your friendship and wishes zone, you should feel motivated to reach out to your fellow human beings. At its most basic sense, this means connecting to your immediate friends. You might suddenly feel disconnected and that you do not share the same common interests any longer. Having a shared view about how you can make the world a better place becomes vital. We all benefit from the camaraderie, encouragement and motivation from our peers. Sharing tips on our successes and failures from fellow travelers help us all advance a lot quicker.
Eclipse In 12th House ~ Virgo- This is one of those eclipses that seems like it has slipped by you with no effect at all. But that’s only in your 3D reality, for a great deal is simmering below the surface! The only way to find out exactly what is lurking in those depths is by some deep-sea diving into your subconscious. Examine your dreams and pay attention to what symbols turn up in your waking reality. You may be drawn to certain colors, shapes, animals or archetypes and this is telling you a great deal. If all is well in your psyche and you have done enough self-work then the blurring of boundaries will just give you a heightened feeling of intuition. Therefore, the next 6 months could be a great period for artistic expression, as you effortlessly pull music and harmony out of the ether.
