Eclipses are a powerful phenomenon. They are major events that bring about fated change. They accelerate time, bring shocking revelations, grasp conclusions, sudden endings, new beginnings, cosmic interventions and more importantly they help us to align with our path and destinations. Eclipses help things to unfold more quickly. Eclipses can take up to 6 months to manifest its energies completely. The strength and power of the Eclipse in your natal chart really depends on what planets if any are being aspected. I've experienced Eclipses that triggered specific events in my life, such as a breakup, new relationship, new career and learning astrology. However, other Eclipses brought about subtle long term changes, but changes nonetheless. Whether you understand astrology or not, it’s very important to pay attention to what comes up during Eclipses as this us hints as to the changes that lay ahead. This is a period of growth that helps you to come out more aware, stronger and smarter. Do not fear Eclipses. However, do tread with caution.
Not every Eclipse aspects your Ascendant and/or Natal planets, but when they do, PAY ATTENTION! Through my experience when the Eclipse aspects your Ascendant or Natal planets within a 3 degree orb, this is a clear indication that you are in for some changes. Keep in mind that when an eclipse conjuncts Rahu (North Node) we are moving into a new direction and when an eclipse conjuncts Ketu (South Node) its a time of letting go, leaving something behind or an end to a pattern.
The planetary aspects Im about to discuss can relate to planets within a 3 degree orb being aspected by an Eclipse whether the aspect is conjunction, trine, sextile, semisextile, square, opposition, or quincunx (6/8 relationship).
Now before I get into a list of the meanings of the Ascendant and Planets being aspected. It's important to understand what a kind of spacial relationship is taking place between the Eclipse and the Ascendant and/or Planet via house/sign.
CONJUNCTION: This is a 1/1 relationship. Its when two planets are in the same sign/house. Its the most intense aspect/relationship. This area of your life will be most affected. It involves all matters of that house and sign. Example: The planets are in your 1st house. Therefore some events will take place that will change your mindset, attitude, look, body and perception of yourself.
OPPOSITION: This is a 7/7 relationship. Its when two planets are in opposite houses. The 7th house is naturally the house of relationships with others, so we can understand that this aspect has to do with relationship to someone else (personal or professional). This suggests conflicting energies that require balance, cooperation and coordination with one another.
SEMISEXTILE: This is a 2/12 relationship. The 2nd house is a receiving house and the 12th is a house of loss. This is when two planets are two/ twelve houses away from one another. This involves giving and receiving, sacrifice and gain, loss and acquisition. This a minor aspect, yet it has influence and impact. These energies have difficulty working together. You may feel frustrated in this area of your life. It requires you to let go or make some sacrifice in order to let go. However, a reward or opportunity comes in doing so.
SEXTILE: This is a 3/11 relationship. The 3rd and 11th houses of the zodiac are upachaya houses having to do with seeking improvements. This is when two planets are three/eleven houses away from each other. This brings potential opportunities, support, skills, talents, harmony, helping energies, and better coordinations/cooperations, But only if you exercise your personal energies into making the effort required. Get up and get to work!
SQUARE: This is a 4/10 relationship. This is when two planets are four/ten houses away from one another. This is an angular (angle) house relationship. There can be trouble or turbulence between the two planets involved which triggers an action response on your end. Although this is challenging, there is opportunity for success. So do something that moves situations or people in the right direction. Without you taking action, nothing moves and nothing changes. Its a positive time for learning lessons and gaining much needed experience.
TRINE: This is a 5/9 relationship. The 5th and 9th houses are dharma houses which give purpose and meaning to life. This is when two planets are five/nine houses from one another. This brings more harmony, creative energies, opportunities fun, travel, good experiences and more good luck in the areas of one's life. Fortunate events and higher learning takes place
QUINCUNX: This is a 6/8 relationship. The 6th and 8th houses are both dusthana houses which deal with suffering and/or ill health. This is when two planets are six/eight houses from one another. This is a difficult relationship. This involves accidents/conflicts and transformation through suffering (mentally, emotionally, physically, or spiritually). These life events may not be easy, but it does create radical change and shifts.

KETU (South Node): Endings, Detachments, Spirituality, Worldly pursuits, outcaste in society, Letting go, Loss, Death
Pros and Cons for the Rahu and Ketu (the Nodes): Eclipsed Nodes are trigger points. The Nodes should not be viewed so much from the perspective of pros and cons. Rather they should be conceptualized as fate/karma moving powerful chess pieces helping you to not only take things a step further in your personal journey, but to kick things up a notch.
Advice for Rahu/Ketu: These are karmic shadow planets. An aspect on the nodes can result in manifestation of your past deeds (both positive or negative, good or bad) which can be seen in your relationship with others (spouse, romantic partner, business partner, family member, friend, etc.) as the nodes are on a 1/7 axis. This may cause stress and/or uneasiness. In some cases this aspect can result in a loss, a setback, accident or a chaotic situation to help you re-situate your life and self. In other cases, this can thrust you forward in career, relationship or in other areas of your life. Mantra, prayers, meditation helps to subdue the most negative effects and bring a more peaceful transition. Its best to leg go of controlling the situation, but rather submit to a higher power and trust the journey/experience.
