Reading the sky…
All times in UTC. Calculated in your browser from astronomical positions, not from a stored table.
An eclipse happens when a new or full moon falls close to the Moon's nodes, the two points where its path crosses the Sun's. That is why they come in pairs about two weeks apart, roughly every six months. Astrologers read a solar eclipse as a beginning and a lunar eclipse as an ending or a release, and watch the sign each one falls in.
Calculating…
Times are the moment of greatest eclipse, in UTC. A lunar eclipse can be seen from the whole night side of the Earth; a solar eclipse only along a narrow path, with a partial view either side of it.
The lunar month and the menstrual month are two separate rhythms of roughly the same length. Reading them side by side is an old habit, and a useful one: the moon gives you a shared, visible calendar, while your own cycle gives you the body underneath it.
Often read alongside the menstrual phase
The sky is dark and the month begins again. In cycle terms this is the inward point — lower energy, less appetite for performance, more appetite for rest and honest thinking. A good moment to name what you want the next few weeks to hold rather than to launch it.
Often read alongside the follicular phase
Half lit and building. Energy tends to return, along with curiosity and the patience for new things. Use it for starting, learning, training, and the conversations that need you at your most open.
Often read alongside ovulation
Everything is visible. This is the outward, expressive point of the month — social warmth, clear speech, and a body that usually feels at its most capable. It can also feel loud, so it rewards a plan for how you want to spend the brightness.
Often read alongside the luteal phase
The light draws back. Attention narrows, tolerance for noise drops, and detail work often gets easier than crowds. Finish, tidy, review, and let go of what you were only carrying out of habit.
