Questions
How many eclipses are there in 2027?
5: 2 solar and 3 lunar. The total solar eclipse on August 2 in Leo is the one total eclipse of the year.
Which sign does an eclipse belong to?
The sign holding the Sun at a solar eclipse, or the Moon at a lunar one, at the instant of the peak. Eclipses come in pairs about two weeks apart in opposite signs, so each season marks an axis of your chart rather than one house.
Can I see these from where I live?
A lunar eclipse is visible from the whole night side of Earth at its peak time; a solar eclipse only along a narrow track, so most people see a partial or nothing. The linked eclipse pages describe the track for each one.
