Eclipses can instigate a major turning point in your life, and are best not to be ignored. They have a long-lasting period of 6th months and have a much stronger effect than a regular lunation. Depending on your natal chart, the effects of course can vary due to planetary degrees and aspects. Here are the major eclipses for 2017.
A Full Moon and Penumbral Lunar Eclipse in Leo on February 11th will influence your 10th house of career and ambitions. This Lunar Eclipse highlights your career, drive for success, long-range plans and recognition in your profession. It will also influence your area of work and health, and a see a possible romantic attraction in the workplace, thanks to sensual Venus and passionate Mars in your 6th house. Be open to unexpected changes which may have a fortunate turn of events with your money situation and plans on the domestic scene. Stimulating Mars will prompt you to push yourself harder through work, upset the status quo, and potentially suffer from illnesses, accidents and surgical operations. Emotions are usually charged up the day before and right on the Full Moon, so beware of dramas. Find a balance between your financial obligations, career, home environment and family.
A New Moon and Annular Solar Eclipse in Pisces on February 26th will be in your 5th house of romance, creativity and speculation. This significant Solar Eclipse revolves around events from September 2016. You’ll have a greater need to express your emotions through words. Scorps may have an interest from the past re-enter their life, or meet a significant person who will have quite a romantic impact.
