The annular solar eclipse on February 17 at 28 degrees Aquarius squares Uranus, heralding surprises that could pivot life directions toward fresh opportunities.
Uranus simultaneously squares Mars, fostering an uncompromising atmosphere prone to overreactions, though a supportive Mercury trine Jupiter offers optimistic insights. The backdrop features the exact Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries sextile Pluto, blending discipline with visionary power. This eclipse traces a path over Antarctica, Argentina, Chile, and southern Africa, while its influence hits the Midheaven for locations like London, pointing to notable public developments.
Part of Saros Series 10 North, it echoes themes of communication amid frustrations, where a tired mood gives way to tackling obstacles step by step, as noted by astrologer Bernadette Brady.
March Lunar Eclipse: Tension and Jupiter’s Grace
Shortly after, a total lunar eclipse on March 3 at 12 degrees Virgo opposite Pisces forms an upbeat sextile and trine to Jupiter, easing emotional intensities.
Yet Mars square Uranus injects edginess and potential explosiveness, tempered by the ongoing Saturn-Neptune sextile Pluto. Visibility spans northeast Asia, northwestern North America, the central Pacific, and rises over Asia and Australia.
This event prompts releases in service-oriented Virgo matters and dreamy Pisces realms, urging clarity amid chaos.
August’s Leo Solar Eclipse: Steady Creative Surge
The total solar eclipse on August 12 at 20 degrees Leo trines Saturn in Aries, grounding bold expressions of self.
A pivotal alignment emerges with Uranus in Gemini trining Pluto and sextiling Neptune, signaling the “new era mood music” of innovation and depth. Venus in Libra opposes Neptune and squares Mars in Cancer, stirring debate alongside progress. Its path crosses the Arctic, Greenland, Iceland, Spain, Portugal, and parts of Russia, with partial views across Europe, West Africa, and northern North America.
In Saros Series 10 South, it breaks free from negativity into positive options, dissolving worries as solutions surface, per Brady.

Throughout, the Saturn-Neptune conjunction sextile Pluto underscores a era of structured dreams and empowered realism.
