Eclipses At AstroCoach, we combine the traditional with the innovative, the classic and the cutting edge. Both February and March 1998 are marked by it. The Solar Eclipse occurs during a New Moon, when the sun and the moon conjunct , a time which is very auspicious for new beginnings. About twice a year, the moon is placed so that it obscures the sun. A Lunar Eclipse occurs during a Full Moon, when the sun and the moon face or oppose each other.
Eclipses generally come in pairs.
For the ancient watchers of the skies, each one of the eclipses, obscuring for a while a major celestial light, brought fear and dread. Something was not in order and the disruption of cosmic order was seen as a sign and a warning for dire things to come. For the modern individual, there is a deeper meaning. At AstroCoach, we developed an interest in eclipses when we started noting their effect on people s lives. It appears that the hit of an eclipse in a specific sign seems to highlight the concerns and tendencies of that specific sign, and how we address them.
