Where on my natal chart do I look to see if I have a planet within 2 degrees?

It just makes the Sign the eclispe is under more inward, more subconscious, that's why you must be quiet inside.

If you were born on those days, do you know if there was also an eclipse that year you were born?

BTW, I had an eclipse fall within a degree of my Sun a year or two ago (I forget now), but I know they are always, very important times - especially when they fall in conjunction with a natal planet....even more so with the natal Sun or Moon.

There were a lot of changes going on in my life at the time - a lot of sudden changes. Usually the eclipse doesnt affect you on the exact date it occurs. But somewhere within a week before or after....and I've also read to pay attention to the date exactly one month after the eclipse.

It is going to be an important time in your life over the next year. Expect a lot of changes and go with the flow. Because when it happens on your birthday, it does set up a whole scope of events for the coming year. Your solar return sun will be an eclipsed sun.

I couldnt find much info on this. But I dug up a few things and I will keep searching through my astrological books and papers to see what i can find. I know I have more info somewhere.......

Anyway, I hope you find this interesting or useful.

Eclipses
by C. Lichtenstein
There are two kinds of eclipses - solar and lunar - and both types stir you up. Eclipses bring on a period of instability when you feel you must react and take some type of action on outside changes. The secret is, of course, that the best action is little to no action. The eclipse brings on an exceptionally emotional time which begins ten days before and lasts for three days after the actual eclipse. The pressure may be on in business, love and money, but wait three days after the eclipse until the shadow of the eclipse is over before you act or decide on a course of action. An example - Prince Charles and Princess Diana were married in the shadow of the eclipse. It was no surprise to see all the unexpected and tragic things that have happened to them.

Do you want that new job? Are you ready to pick up and move to a new apartment? Have you fallen madly in love? That's great. That's what eclipses are for; to get the old blood pumping. But wait if you want things to work out. When the shadow of the eclipse is over, ascertain whether all that glitters is in fact gold. Then go for it... or forget it!

There are a number of articles here on eclipses: http://www.widgetsworld.co.uk/search.php

It is important for everyone to look at where eclipses fall in their own charts also. Look to the house(s) it falls in and major aspects it makes to the natal planets. Mostly just look at conjunctions or oppositions to planets.

If you have natal planets conjunct or opposite, below are keywords for planets conjunct and in opposition to the eclipse. Conjunctions are beginnings or matters that need to be address immediately. Oppositions are endings to current situations or relinquishing control.

Hi mysticme,

Look to see if you have any planets within two degrees of the eclipse degree or opposite those degrees.
