The times when the Sun appears, from the Earth, to be close enough to the Moon to allow for an eclipse to occur, is called an eclipse season. There are two roughly 34-day-long eclipse seasons each year, falling about 25 weeks apart.

At least two, and sometimes three, eclipses occur every eclipse season. If the first eclipse in the season falls at the very beginning of that season, there will be enough time for two more eclipses.

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon stands between the Sun and earth, cutting off the light of the Sun. A lunar eclipse occurs when the earth stands between the moon and the Sun, cutting off the light of the Sun from the moon.

Eclipses bring news of life’s big events which usually have a theme.

Solar eclipses tend to create new beginnings and bright new opportunities.

Lunar eclipses are more emotional, they may bring about final endings.

These could be monumental events, meetings and partings, or career changes may also take place at an eclipse – they are dates we usually remember. Once we go through an eclipse, we can never go back to the former situation again: the universe wants us to make progress: not go back to our comfort zone.

Eclipses always arrive in pairs, coinciding with new moon and full moons, as solar and lunar eclipses, respectively.

2023 Eclipses:

Solar Eclipses:

April 19–20, 2023: Annular Total Eclipse of the Sun. This hybrid eclipse, which is seen as annular or total depending on view location along its path, is not visible from North America. (It is visible only from the southern Indian Ocean, parts of Antarctica, most of Australasia, Indonesia, the Philippines, most of Oceania, and the western Pacific Ocean).

While this April 20 hybrid solar eclipse is a rare phenomenon, by far, the most-watched solar eclipse of 2023 will be the October 14 annular solar eclipse, since its path sweeps across very populated parts of the globe in the Americas.

October 14, 2023: Annular Eclipse of the Sun. This eclipse is at least partially visible from most of North America. The annular phase is visible in a narrow path that runs through Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. The eclipse begins at 16:04 BST PDT) and ends at 21:55 BST. 

Lunar Eclipses:

May 5, 2023: Penumbral Eclipse of the Moon. This eclipse is visible from the Antarctic, Oceania, Australasia, Asia, Europe, Africa, South Georgia, and the South Sandwich Islands.)

October 28, 2023: Partial Eclipse of the Moon. This eclipse is visible from northeastern North America. The Moon will rise during the eclipse, and observers will only see a penumbral eclipse. The Moon will enter the penumbra at 19:00 BST and the umbra at 21:54 BST and the penumbra at 23:28 BST.
