About eclipses

Before we talk about the 2024 eclipses, let’s explain a few concepts to help you better understand.

In the first lines of this text, you may have noticed we mentioned that the September 2024 eclipse will occur on the Virgo-Pisces axis, while the October one will be on the Aries-Libra axis. But why do we refer to axes and not individual signs?

The answer is simple! For an eclipse to occur, the Sun, Moon, and Earth must align in specific points in the sky. In the September eclipse, for instance, the Sun will be in Virgo while the Moon will be in Pisces. Virgo and Pisces are opposite-complementary signs, meaning they bring up themes of balance, integration, and opposition.

When will the next eclipse happen in 2024?

Lunar eclipse in September 2024

On September 17, 2024, at 11:34 PM, we will have a lunar eclipse on the Virgo-Pisces axis. This event will be visible in various regions, including much of the Americas, Europe, and Africa.

Astrologically, this lunar eclipse offers an opportunity for introspection and emotional healing, especially for those influenced by Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, and Sagittarius. It's a great time to review emotional patterns and let go of what no longer serves. If you have the Sun, Moon, or Ascendant in any of these signs, you may feel the eclipse more intensely.

Additionally, the September eclipse begins a new cycle along the Virgo-Pisces axis that will unfold over the coming years. The situations arising around this Eclipse may find their conclusions by mid-2027.

On October 2, 2024, at 3:49 PM, the last solar eclipse of the year will occur along the Aries-Libra axis. This eclipse will be visible in parts of South America, Africa, and Antarctica.

The solar eclipse in Libra invites us to rethink our partnerships and relationships, seeking to align our individual desires with the needs of others. The signs most impacted by this eclipse will be Aries, Libra, Cancer, and Capricorn. If you have personal planets or the Ascendant in these signs, this will be an important moment to seek harmony in your connections.

The eclipses along the Aries-Libra axis have been occurring since March 2023. The last eclipse of this series will be in March 2025, so their conclusions may still unfold until then.
