A solar eclipse is formed only when is New Moon phase, when Earth, Moon and Sun are aligned. There are four kind of Solar eclipses: 

Total solar eclipses occur when the moon completely covers the sun, as seen from Earth.

Partial solar eclipses can be observed when only the lunar penumbra (the partially shaded outer region of the shadow cast by an object) touches the Earth.

Annular solar eclipses occur when the Moon appears smaller than the Sun as it passes centrally across the solar disk and a bright ring, or annulus, of sunlight remains visible during the eclipse.

Hybrid solar eclipses – are a rare form of solar eclipse, which changes from an annular to a total solar eclipse along its path.

The most spectacular are the total eclipses. It matters a lot and areas on Earth where Eclipse has the greatest visibility and influence because it will be more consistent for all people and creatures who live in these areas.

In the following years here you have the list of Solar Eclipses with the greatest visibility:

What is important to know about influence of a Solar Eclipse? Here you have some important answers:

First of all is very important if solar eclipse has visibility over the location where we live. In case you have visibility of it, then you should know in witch house of your natal chart is working eclipse influence. Usually significant changes occur in that area of life and you should not be afraid, it’s best to be responsive and try to act by accepting changes. Change is part of life, without it life would not run its natural course.

The zodiac sign in which Solar Eclipse takes place shows the typed of activities where the change is possible. Also, it is important at which degree is placed because it can gives you a clue about a beginning (in the first 5th degrees), a middle (everything between) or an ending (in the last 5th degrees) event that can take place.

Solar Eclipses are coming in pairs, as you can see in the list, above. These pairs are working together and they have a longer influence than it seems.

A Solar Eclipse has a greater influence for men because Sun is the simbol of masculine, yang energy.

Let’s see how a solar eclipse is able to influence you according with the natal house where the eclipse is placed at the its maximum power:

In your first natal house: possible change in your personality or physical appearance and a deep desire for an inner balance. Some people experience identity crises or self-doubts as part of the growth process. A negative reaction blocks growth potentials and gives rise to arrogance and self-gratification. People that are too satisfied with their “self” as they are, fail to recognize what they have become.

In your second natal house: change in your material and financial values, it is a good time to think about the true nature of money and what do you need in your life. Also it is possible to show a closing of a financial cycle, like payment of a debt.Excessive ego may prompt a person’s attempt to increase income by expanding resources while another person may try to amass assets for savings or other security means.

In your third natal house: more awareness of the importance of how you communicate with others or maybe you are thinking to change something in education or learning process or possible change in your projects plans. Also an important event should occur in your environment (family, relatives or neighborhood). Self-satisfaction is likely to be achieved through learning and teaching. Intellectual pursuit might take on various forms, and the effort is rewarded with a increased aware of the personal environment.

In your fourth natal house: Important events may occur in your family and house environment. Maybe your family, your parents need more help from you or you should renovate or change something in your house. A Solar Eclipse may be the impetus to move to another location. Change and adjustment are often necessary in order to satisfy the your emotional needs.

In your fifth natal house: everything regarding your love life, creativity and your children may attract your attention. Sometimes there is a possibility to find out good news about a new entering of a child in your life. A balance of give and take is essential in your love relationships. Too much of one or the other tends to block potential growth.

In your sixth natal house: There may occur significant changes in your work environment (an important project or you will play a special role in your work) or in your health states (change in lifestyle to get a better health). Finding positive ways to improve cooperation between co-workers can also have a lasting impact on one’s health.

In your seventh natal house: People from your partnerships (marriage, long love relationship, concubinage, business, employers) may ask you for compromise or you need to negotiate your status. The Solar Eclipse strengthens relationships that are solid and satisfying while disbanding relationships that are unbalanced or unrewarding. Harmony and balance are important to emotional growth.

In your eighth natal house: May occur changes in your spouse’s income, in management of your family investments, taxes, debts, insurance & pensions. But maybe there should be opportunities for further gains.The individual’s motivation may depend upon your own level of growth attained to the stage of life.

In your ninth natal house: A new start in your education or a change in your relationship with everything is linked with foreign countries (travel, education, business and so on), news about a trial where you are involved.

In your tenth natal house: From your professional and social environments you should get some news, changes or even opportunities to show your skills and talents. You may look for tangible evidence (pay increase, promotion, public publicity, etc.) that his/her efforts are being rewarded and as a display of success.

In your eleventh natal house: Some changes may occur due to your friendships and group activities. New friends are coming and maybe old friends are going out from your life.

In your twelve natal house: It is time for relaxation and more time spend with yourself. At home or in a discrete environment, away from your town. Take care also of your health, try to pay more attention to chronic disease, if it is the case. Fears and repressed desires can manifest and also deceptive tendencies during the influence of the Solar Eclipse.

General advice regardless your natal Sign or Ascendant: If you perceive influence of an eclipse as a crisis, if you change the attitude you can get an opportunity. But you can see this opportunity only if you let go your fears and mental obstacles. Be more aware of what is happening to you and around you, so you you will know for sure what you have to do whatever experiences you live!

Important note: In all my astrological research and interpretations I use the Whole signs (house system) because it is the oldest house system (used by ancient Greek astrologers) who has proven its real value during history. When I am writing about aspects between planets, I use aspect from sign to sign; I am using a traditional way of interpretation of aspects. An aspect is not a must to be at perfect orb to have an effect. It is enough if we have a planet in a sign that forms an aspect with another planet from another sign. The most powerful aspects are: conjunctions, oppositions, squares and trines.
