Question by ḯґḯṧℌ ẘґ☤ṧ⊥ ẘ@☂ḉ♄: What is the astrological impact of having so many consecutive solar and lunar eclipses?
in the next few months we'll have several Solar and Lunar eclipses, one right after another.
June 1 solar eclipse in Gemini
June 15 lunar eclipse in Sagittarius
July 1 solar eclipse in Cancer
These intermixed with a Full moon in Capricorn (July 14ish), new moon in Leo (July 30)
What is the impact of all this activity?

Answer by MichelleThere really isn't enough room to answer this as well as I'd like, so I'll beg your indulgence to give you a taste of what else you can explore after I say some of this.
Eclipses can tell you quite a bit about things going on in your life. For example, not just the Sun and Moon, but even the other planet will help you to see some pictures you may or may not like to see. I still remember one eclipse in particular when Saturn opposed my Mars in my chart. I'll tell you it was by far one of the most miserable experiences in my life, and it kept coming back to haunt me each and every time that degree was touched by transit until the next eclipse rolled by. I no longer remember if it was a Solar or Lunar Eclipse, and in the broader scope of this explanation, it doesn't really matter.
If it takes place during a Solar Eclipse, then you will see this kind of event based on tension or whatever is relevant to the planetary "exchange" with your natal chart each time that degree is touched till the next eclipse of the same type comes into play. You want to take into consideration which houses will be affected as well as the points of your natal chart that will be touched, and note that the greater impact is *usually* going to be with the Sun, but don't ignore the Lunar Eclipse. That too is important.
In 2000, there were 3 eclipses in one month, just as there will be this time. Two weeks before the Solar Eclipse on July 1, 2000, I had a major head injury that required stitches to repair a severed artery. The transiting Moon was opposing the Solar Eclipse point. During the week of the incoming Lunar Eclipse on July 16, I was robbed of all our possessions. Luckily, my children and I weren't there. And on July 31 that year, there was another Solar Eclipse, and I ended up with a gift of over $ 500.
Also be aware that your Pre-Natal Eclipse Points are important. The Pre-Natal Solar Eclipse Point appears to be connected to "fated" encounters with people and events. The Pre-Natal Lunar Eclipse Point requires a bit more attentiveness to see how it affects you. It appears to be linked more broadly through all of the planets in your chart, whichever one is being touched by that eclipse.
Hope this helps a bit.

How widespread across the globe is an eclipse?
Question by havish: How widespread across the globe is an eclipse?
I am working on a project, and am wondering how visible a given solar eclipse would be on a global level.
I uploaded an image of a map with a particular eclipse that occurred (I circled it in red), but I need to know in which parts of the world the eclipse would be visible in.
Thank you!

Answer by bikenbeer2000The map you uploaded shows tracks of total and annular eclipses, but in general, the partial phase would be visible over a much wider area. An illustration is provided by the equivalent map for eclipses from 2001 to 2020:

Your eclipse goes back quite a long way (about 2700 years!) so I seriously doubt whether a partial phase map will be available on the Internet. One solution might be to look for a more recent eclipse with a similar track or I could run my planetarium program Starry Night for the year -712. I'll look into both these options and get back to you.
Additional notes:
OK the Starry Night planetarium program shows the region of partial eclipse as follows:
Draw a line upwards from the bottom of the map at 10 degrees east up to 50 degrees south. Then draw a line upwards and to the right across the Indian Ocean, keeping parallel with the annular track and passing below South Africa, Madagascar and Sri Lanka and crossing just above the Malaysian peninsula and Cambodia. The line then folllows the track of the -0719 Feb 22 eclipse until 160 degrees east. From there, draw a line straight down to the bottom, passing between Australia and New Zealand.
The Starry Night program doesn't actually show a map, but gives a 'real time' view of the progress of the eclipse across the earth, so I can't convey a map to you and this explanation will have to do - long-winded though it may be.

What do they mean when you can see planets during a total solar eclipse?
Question by AY0116: What do they mean when you can see planets during a total solar eclipse?
There is a total eclipse coming up in August for parts of Russia and China, there are other places as well but I don't know where. I was reading an article about how there will be four planets visible during the eclipse. What I want to know is, does the eclipse magnify these planets so you can view them with the naked eye or does it just expose the area of the planet in darkness long enough that you could view them through a telescope?

Answer by Wild BillThe eclipse actually reduces the light pollution from the Sun to the Earth allowing us to see the brightest objects in the sky such as Venus, Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn. When the eclipse is over they will fade into the wild blue sky!
