Pay attention to transits especially a heavy transit that are opperating at the same time
Example would be Uranus that can go back and forth over a planet several times but when a lunation activates it the unexpected will happen the eclipse will help pinpoint the exact event promised and the time frame.

Eclipses work for up to three years.

They will start and end the energy of a transit and progression.

The dignity and debility of a planet affected must be noted.
If a planet is in it's fall there will seem to be more of an adverse effect but if in rulership or exaltation will be more beneficial.

Also the type of house
Angular - will work in a very public way

Succedent- will tend to bring an opportunity but you have to rise to the occasion.

cadent - will demand that you make an adjustment or change. mor psychological and behind the scenes.

Rules of orbs

1. Major influences are felt if the eclipse or lunation is exactly on the house cusp, or exactly on a planet

2. Major happenings can occur if within 5 deg of a cusp or planet, either applying or seperating

3. much less of an effect up to 10 degrees but will still have an effect on a cusp or planet.

4. Don't rule out a minor effect if the lunation is in the same sign as a planet, even though it may be very far from the planet.

I think the eclipse may have had something to do with the volitile energy in my house a few days ago. Both my daughter and I are Leos and we had a blowout over some cherries that resulted in her moving out. I am certain the eclipse maybe brought things to a point, becasue really, it can't be about cherries....

But I always found it tough to decipher when the opposition or tough aspects will happen. Not sure if you can explain....

Example : Whenever you get something good from an eclipse there is always a price to be paid.

One person will experience a loss and another a gain

Say you fall in love with someone who is already involved with another person, Then they leave that other person for you, and that person pays the price.

Or you get a promotion at work because someone else was fired, you gain they loose.
