So far, 2022 has been eclipse free, but the cosmos are about to dish out two in quick succession; alizakelly digs into what that actually means for you
Photo: Roger Ressmeyer/Corbis/VCG/Getty Images The interpretive language of astrology is so rich and expressive that it’s easy to grow detached from the physical movement of planets through the sky. Knowing a planet is retrograde might feel emotionally potent, but how many of us notice the planet itself appearing to move backward through the sky?
In astrological terms, eclipses are moments of change and upheaval. They’re special times worth paying attention to, but less rare than the news would make them seem. Right now, we’re in an eclipse season, one that began the first week of August and will last through the solar eclipse on the 21st. Most years the Earth has two “eclipse seasons,” happening roughly six months apart and lasting about 34 days.
Whether or not an eclipse is visible, though, each eclipse season brings change, in the form of a pair of linked eclipses — one lunar, one solar, happening in signs on opposite poles of the zodiac. Every lunar eclipse comes with a full moon, and every solar eclipse with a new moon. Monday will bring the solar eclipse in Leo, the culmination of this season. During a solar eclipse, the moon is positioned directly between the Earth and the sun, and the moon blocks out all or part of the sun’s light from reaching us where we stand on Earth. This is a total eclipse, which means for a moment, all of the sun’s light will be blocked by the new moon.
