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-Illustration: by Preeti Kinha; Photos: Getty Images Welcome, friends: It’s officially Eclipse Season. So far, 2022 has been eclipse free, but the cosmos are about to dish out two in quick succession . First, a solar eclipse in Taurus on Saturday, April 30, followed by a lunar eclipse in Scorpio on Monday, May 16.
Eclipses are exceptions to the rule. Technically speaking, eclipses occur when the moon reaches the upper and lower boundaries of its own tilted, elliptical orbit . When the moon reaches these thresholds, it forms a perfect alignment with the sun and Earth, transforming new moons into solar eclipses , and full moons into lunar eclipses .
This upcoming eclipse season will take place across the Taurus-Scorpio axis. Eclipses are not isolated events; they’re actually part of multiyear stories. Likewise, these upcoming eclipses are connected to an ongoing series that began last year , and have a bunch more to go. In addition to the upcoming eclipses, mark these future dates in your calendar, as they will continue the Taurus-Scorpio story line: October 25, 2022; November 8, 2022; May, 5, 2023; October 28, 2023.
