The 2024 eclipses fall on the Aries-Libra, Virgo-Pisces axes, following the lunar nodes. Eclipses happen only when a New or Full Moon is close to the North or South Node.

Times on this page are the global peak of each eclipse. Whether you can see it depends on your location: a solar eclipse is visible only along its path, while a lunar eclipse is visible from the whole night side of Earth.

Astrologers treat eclipses as amplified New and Full Moons that mark turning points, especially for the houses in your birth chart that hold the eclipse signs. Solar eclipses are read as beginnings and lunar eclipses as culminations.

Most astrology sites print a single date without a time zone. An ingress at 10:49 PM in New York is already the next day in London and Sydney, so two correct sources can disagree by a day. Selfgazer gives every time in both US Eastern time and UTC, and the tables switch to your own time zone in the browser.
