How long do effects of an eclipse can last?

How long the effects of an eclipse can last?

I`m somewhat confused because of conflicting data on how long the effects of eclipses last.

According to this article:
http://skyscript.co.uk/eclipsecarter.html

eclipse that made neither conjunction nor opposition to my natal chart shouldn`t have affected me at all.

However, e.g. SAROS 18 did not affect my chart, yet some of it`s most destructive effects will surely last untill I die.


Can damage caused by an eclipse be ever reversed/ repaired?

So how long can effects of an eclipse last anyway? Untill the next cycle?

Why don`t other "nice and happy" eclipse series affect my life, since they do affect my chart? And some of them do affect my chart much more than the above mentioned tragic one ?!

duplicated thread

Taken from the book by Manly P. Hall of Astrological Keywords Pg. 180
Astrologer's (some) declare that the effects of a solar eclipse last as long in years as the eclipse is hours in duration.

Most generally the eclipse has an effectiveness that lasts during the coming year.

In mundane charts the effect is until a next eclipse is accounted for (most timely) but in progressions the movement of a planet (Sun) is slow equal to 1 degree for one day.

Taken from the book by Manly P. Hall of Astrological Keywords Pg. 180
Astrologer's (some) declare that the effects of a solar eclipse last as long in years as the eclipse is hours in duration.

Most generally the eclipse has an effectiveness that lasts during the coming year.
Synapses of page. 182 from the same book regarding Mundane charts.
Lunar eclipses: Whereas solar eclipses are particularly concerned with the affairs of men, of governments, and public utilities, lunar eclipses are significators of the condition of women & the community of men & women in general, of the home & children. Lunar eclipses like those of the Sun are favorable of unfavorable according to the aspects under which the eclipse takes place.They are shorter in duration, whereas the effect of a solar eclipse is presumed to continue for as many years as the eclipse lasts in hours the effect of a lunar eclipse endures for as many months as the eclipse lasts in hours.

Of the personal chart taken into consideration is the orb (in my reflections-memory of natal interpretations.) of influence of surrounding planets within aspect & given to the position of the Moon or the Sun (Sun in angles etc as Moon is also to be considered.) at the degree of eclipse. Certainly the proximity of the degree house & strength of planet within it (the Sun (Moon) should be considered: Planets passing over these degrees make a decided influence additionally.

Taken from the Dictionary of Astrology
My understanding the strength of the eclipse may also be deciphered by the table below.

Eclipse Limits.

When a conjunction of Sun and Moon occurs within 18° 31' from either node, the major solar eclipse limit, a solar eclipse may occur; within 15° 21', the minor solar eclipse unit, a solar eclipse will occur; within 11° 15', the major central solar ecliptic limit, a total or annular eclipse may occur; within 9° 55', the minor central solar ecliptic limit, a total or annular eclipse will occur. When an opposition of Sun and Moon occurs near either node the major lunar ecliptic
limit is 12° 15' and the minor 9° 30'; the major total lunar ecliptic limit is 3° 45' and the minor 6° 0'.

On page 124 of the A-Z Book of Astrology by Llywellyn there is a brief contribution to natal & progressed effects of an eclipse.
It has been a while since my studies included progressed & natal effects because these delineations must take into account a very personal understanding of temperament & trait of the individual given the reading. It is enough that horary takes into considerations an a typical reference of the stars: given a specific energy explanation of planet sign etc, rather than a more definitive personal study as natal astrology takes up.

A study of time & progressions is much rewarding for the native to study within his own map in regards specific reaction to the transits.

Energy is changeable as we become aware of the potential each energy might represent ahead of time. We then make a goal for our reactions to these energies. The stars impel they do not compel..especially to be understood in a natal map the psychology behind an influence trending within the map.

If lets say Saturn is involved in an eclipse energy we know our parents or authority figures or hard lessons are expected to be dealt with during the coming cycle of aspects & planetary configurations.

If we are for-warned we are for-armed. Taken at the flood of understanding any energy when perceived of its possibilities may give us opportunity to ride with its flow of directions to benefit as even the discordant or hard energies may make.

Manly P. Hall of Astrological Keywords additionally with the many different books available at the Llewellyn.com site give reference to definitive explanations of predictive Astrology in reference to Natal study as well horary topic. There is a wealth of experience behind many of these books..worth taking a peek at.

Thank you for your help

Saturn was definitely involved - he is my 5th&6th ruler and during the eclipse I`m referring to he sat right on my natal IC. And Jupiter sat on my natal AC.
These two seem to have caused ultimate damage to both my AC and IC.

But it was in Sept. 2015, shouldn`t the effects of the eclipse be off?

Thank you,
However, it leaves me without any hope :
It can never be deactivated, there`s always at least one transit to the eclipse degree in a year (disregarding transits of Moon and Mercury).

The eclipse degree was reactivated by transiting Jupiter 2 times within 6 months and each single contact synchronized with the worst moments in my entire life when my child`s life was literally hanging on a thread. And it was clearly a miracle that made my child survive on these occasions.
But I wasn`t so lucky myself.

Jupiter hit the eclipse degree for the third time in July 2016 and it coincided with yet another significant damage to my 1st HS matters. And repairing this damage has been exhausting my very last resources - physical, financial and emotional.
And I`m still far from reaching my goals.


But many other planets reactivated the eclipse degree as well.
The latest hit was made by Venus-Mars transiting conjunction in October this year.
Over my natal Nodal axis

And this particular conj. had already prooved to be deadly.
And quite literally deadly as Mars rules my natal 8th house.

Re: How long do effects of an eclipse last?

How about eclipses that fall on natal Nodal Axis?

are they more powerful, e.g. influence one`s Karma?

for example:

An eclipse causes some events in sombody`s life and the events then force this individual to take actions in a response to them.
And, finally, these particular actions taken by this individual activate another eclipse(s) ?
And so on?

And this is the ripple effect ?

And some things just happen no matter what I do?

"Karma" is a word that means "Action"
i.e.
Karma = Action
and obviously
Action has consequences

There are three BASIC types:
PHYSICAL action
VERBAL action
and
MENTAL action.

Every action leaves an imprint

Physical actions may produce tangible residue
whereas
verbal and mental karma create intangible imprints.
Analyze the trail of any karma aka physical, verbal and mental action
and one may be surprised
how it may wane
but
never gets destroyed completely.
It is the residue of each karma aka action that conditions one

events are happening in somebodys life
some of the events

the events happening at eclipse time are therefore associated with eclipse

unless the individual chooses to NOT ACT in response to the events

eclipses are astronomical phenomena
that are not activated by an individual

ripples are caused in nature frequently
for example
by wind causing ripples on rivers, the sea, the ocean, lakes and so on
it is not unusual
in fact
we inhabit a world where action has consequences

I meant an event like a death of a family member.
Is there anybody in the world who would choose NOT to take any action in response to death of a family member?
In my understanding even grieving is some kind of an action. No death = no grief.

But personally I had only two possible [external] actions to take in response to this death:
a) commiting suicide
b) reporting a crime (criminally negligent homicide)

I obviously chose the latter action and I don`t remember the exact time, but the event chart cast for the appropriate time of my reporting the crime aligns with my prenatal eclipse chart.

But I didn`t realize, that I would only suffer more losses and the justice would never be served. Not in this country!

I don`t know if it activated my prenatal eclipse.
But it affected both my prenatal eclipse chart and my natal chart in many ways.

JUPITERASC said:

My goals were completely opposite to the events (caused by the eclipse) and I gave up everything in order to prevent the events from happening. But all my efforts were thwarted both by other people and circumstances. Due to the events associated with the eclipse I lost everything I ever really cared for, despite all my actions.

And I also lost many other things in association with the main event. Again, because of actions of other people. Even most of my rights were denied. I wasn`t helped by anybody and obviously failed to defend myself alone. It all happened despite all my actions.

To make things worse, I`m not even left in peace right now, because there are other people who have been trying to impose their actions on me for a while. Without any previous action on my part!!!

It`s their decisions and their actions. They seem to care only about what they want, and what I want is nonexistent to them.

However, they are continuously trying, despite all my actions ( avoidance and resistance it this case) etc.

IT all JUST HAPPENS, no matter what I do.

This is what I meant.

death of a family member is traumatic at any time
and when that death occurs under suspicious circumstances
such as the one you have highlighted
then one reacts appropriately by reporting that death

It is not unusual in life for events to occur that we are avoiding
and for you
these events you describe are traumatic
one way to cope
is to keep a continuous focus on the fact that
nothing is permanent
eveything is impermanent

thank you

I wish I could!
I live far away from the sea and around 95% of my desktop backgrounds feature the sea, but they bring neither the breeze & the smell, nor the sounds


Neptune sits in my 4th hs, so my longing is pretty understood to me, but the reality is that everywhere I live/-d there is/was faulty plumbing or (at least!) low-quality faucets etc.
Poor substitute for the sea, really

Introduce the sounds of the sea using online videos
and then for salty sea air aroma Himalayan salt lamp may be beneficial

Re: How long do the effects of an eclipse last?

Thank you,
I use salt lamp from salt mine in Wieliczka, one of the oldest salt mines in Europe

It produces very pleasant microclimate, but again, it`s not the real sea
　
　
　
But back to the topic:
- is it possible for an event to re-/activate an eclipse?
- how many eclipses can be active at the same time?

Re: How long do effects of an eclipse last?

I`ve just stumbled upon this extensive pdf info on eclipses :

It answers all my questions and even more!

It also provides vital information on astrocartography of eclipses




HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I have Bill Meridian book on Eclipses and often post links to him
good that you found that info. Take time to study thoroughly
meanwhile
Thanks for your kind good wishes
and wishing you also a peaceful and Happy New Year

That pdf you posted a link to gathers useful info from multiple sources
and so
do continue to link to it often
because new members join all the time
so we need to keep repeating the links to the important info

Re: How long do effects of an eclipse last?

Thank you for the wishes and for the picture

I`ve studied the info from Bill Meridian for a while and there seem to be dozens of eclipses affecting my chart in many ways (aside from the one from Nov. 1976) .

So separating wheat from shaff seems to be a time-consuming task.

I`ll be watching the effects of the upcoming January eclipse, as it falls close to my n. Jupiter and occurs two days prior to my upcoming Mars return.

These two planets are between 0 and 1 deg. of latitude in my natal chart, so I would expect the effects of the eclipses falling close to these planets to be more pronounced etc.

I`m not sure, what the max. allowed orb for a parallel in latitude is, though.
It all requires further study.
