What each eclipse season means for love

In traditional astrology, a solar eclipse (new moon) opens a new chapter in the part of life ruled by its sign, and a lunar eclipse (full moon) brings something to a head or to an end. The signs listed under each season are the ones astrologers say feel it most. This is for reflection and entertainment, not a prediction.

February–March 2026

Axis: Aquarius · Virgo

The annular eclipse at the last degree of Aquarius closes a chapter about freedom versus closeness. The total lunar eclipse in Virgo two weeks later shines a light on the daily habits of a relationship: who does what, and whether the routine still feels like care.

Felt most by: Aquarius, Leo, Virgo, Pisces

Annular solar · Tue, Feb 17, 2026 / Total lunar · Tue, Mar 3, 2026

August 2026

Axis: Leo · Pisces

A total solar eclipse in Leo is the classic signal of a new beginning in romance: being seen, flirting again, saying what you want out loud. The partial lunar eclipse in Pisces at the end of the month asks you to let go of a fantasy that never became real.

Felt most by: Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio, Pisces

Total solar · Wed, Aug 12, 2026 / Partial lunar · Fri, Aug 28, 2026

February 2027

Axis: Aquarius · Virgo

The second Aquarius eclipse of the cycle tests friendships that may become more, and relationships that need more breathing room. The penumbral lunar eclipse in Virgo is subtle: small, honest adjustments rather than dramatic endings.

Felt most by: Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio

Annular solar · Sat, Feb 6, 2027 / Penumbral lunar · Sat, Feb 20, 2027

July–August 2027

Axis: Leo · Aquarius

The longest total solar eclipse of the decade (6 min 23 s over Egypt) falls in Leo: astrologers read it as a strong push toward a heart-led decision. Two faint penumbral eclipses frame it, in Capricorn and Aquarius, around commitment and independence.

Felt most by: Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio, Capricorn

Penumbral lunar · Sun, Jul 18, 2027 / Total solar · Mon, Aug 2, 2027 / Penumbral lunar · Tue, Aug 17, 2027

January 2028

Axis: Cancer · Aquarius

The partial lunar eclipse in Cancer brings family and emotional security into the relationship conversation. The annular solar eclipse in Aquarius two weeks later closes the Leo–Aquarius cycle: what you learned about love and freedom since 2026 settles.

Felt most by: Cancer, Capricorn, Aquarius, Leo

Partial lunar · Tue, Jan 11, 2028 / Annular solar · Wed, Jan 26, 2028

July 2028

Axis: Cancer · Capricorn

Eclipses move onto the home-and-commitment axis. The lunar eclipse in Capricorn questions long-term plans; the total solar eclipse at the last degree of Cancer (over Australia and New Zealand) opens a new start around home, moving in together or family.

Felt most by: Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, Libra

Partial lunar · Thu, Jul 6, 2028 / Total solar · Fri, Jul 21, 2028

December 2028 – January 2029

Axis: Cancer · Capricorn

A total lunar eclipse in Cancer on New Year's Eve 2028 is a classic emotional release: what you need from a partner becomes impossible to ignore. The partial solar eclipse in Capricorn, visible across North America, favors serious, practical commitments.

Felt most by: Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, Libra

Total lunar · Sun, Dec 31, 2028 / Partial solar · Sun, Jan 14, 2029

June–July 2029

Axis: Gemini · Capricorn · Cancer

A rare three-eclipse season. The total lunar eclipse in Capricorn is the longest of the decade (1 h 42 min of totality), visible from the Americas: a strong marker for endings or turning points in long relationships. Two partial solar eclipses, in Gemini and Cancer, bring new conversations and a fresh start at home.

Felt most by: Cancer, Capricorn, Gemini, Sagittarius

Partial solar · Tue, Jun 12, 2029 / Total lunar · Mon, Jun 25, 2029 / Partial solar · Wed, Jul 11, 2029

December 2029

Axis: Sagittarius · Gemini

Eclipses reach the Gemini–Sagittarius axis: love through words, travel and shared beliefs. The total lunar eclipse at the last degree of Gemini, visible from the Americas, can end a pattern of mixed messages.

Felt most by: Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, Pisces

Partial solar · Wed, Dec 5, 2029 / Total lunar · Thu, Dec 20, 2029

June 2030

Axis: Gemini · Sagittarius

The annular solar eclipse in Gemini starts a cycle about how couples talk, text and listen. The partial lunar eclipse in Sagittarius two weeks later questions the freedom each partner needs.

Felt most by: Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, Pisces

Annular solar · Sat, Jun 1, 2030 / Partial lunar · Sat, Jun 15, 2030

November–December 2030

Axis: Sagittarius · Gemini

A total solar eclipse in early Sagittarius opens a bold chapter: a long-distance love, a move, or a relationship built on a shared adventure. The penumbral lunar eclipse in Gemini softly closes the decade's eclipse story.

Felt most by: Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, Pisces

How to use an eclipse in your love life

Astrologers usually advise against forcing big decisions on the day of an eclipse: the effects are said to unfold over the following weeks and months. Look at the sign of the eclipse, then check your love horoscope for that sign and your rising sign: an eclipse in your sun or rising sign is the one to watch. For couples, compare the eclipse sign with both charts in our compatibility guides. Planning a wedding? Cross these dates with the Mercury retrograde 2027 calendar.

Frequently asked questions

When is the next eclipse?

The next eclipse is the annular solar eclipse of Feb 6, 2027, at 17°38′ Aquarius. It can be seen from: South America, Antarctica, western & southern Africa — annular path over Chile, Argentina and the Atlantic. The full list below covers every eclipse through 2030.

How many eclipses are there between 2026 and 2030?

There are 24 eclipses from 2026 to 2030: 12 solar eclipses (4 total, 4 annular, 4 partial) and 12 lunar eclipses (4 total, 4 partial, 4 penumbral), according to NASA's eclipse catalog.

Which eclipses can be seen from the United States?

From 2026 to 2030, no total or annular solar eclipse crosses the contiguous United States. Partial solar eclipses are visible from parts of North America on August 12, 2026 (northern areas), January 26, 2028 (eastern areas) and January 14, 2029. The total lunar eclipses of March 3, 2026, June 26, 2029 and December 20, 2029 are visible from the Americas.

What do eclipses mean in astrology?

In traditional Western astrology, a solar eclipse falls on a new moon and is read as a fresh start in the area of life ruled by its sign, while a lunar eclipse falls on a full moon and is read as a culmination or an ending. Eclipses come in seasons about six months apart and move backward through pairs of opposite signs over roughly 18 months.

Is it safe to look at a solar eclipse?

Never look at the Sun directly during a partial or annular solar eclipse, even for a few seconds: use ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses or a pinhole projector. Lunar eclipses are safe to watch with the naked eye.
