Free eclipse astrology calculator. See where the August 2026 solar and lunar eclipses land in your birth chart — house, degree, and personal-planet aspects, computed from the Swiss Ephemeris.
Why eclipses are read differently from ordinary lunations
An eclipse is a new or full moon that falls close to the Moon’s nodes — close enough that the Sun, Moon and Earth line up. Astrologically that turns an ordinary monthly beat into a season marker: traditions across Hellenistic, Vedic and modern astrology treat eclipse degrees as sensitive points whose themes unfold over roughly six months, not a single day. That is why astrologers ask where an eclipse lands in YOUR chart first, and what it looks like in the sky second.
House placement: where the season concentrates
The same eclipse lands in a different house for everyone, because houses depend on your birth time and place. An eclipse in your 10th house colours career and public life; in your 4th, home and family; in your 7th, partnership. The calculator computes your Placidus cusps and places the eclipse degree precisely, so you are not guessing from a sign-only column in a magazine.
Orbs, and what counts as a direct hit
This tool uses tight orbs on purpose: 3 degrees for conjunctions and oppositions, 2.5 for squares and trines, measured against your Sun, Moon, personal planets, Ascendant and Midheaven. A conjunction, opposition or square to your Sun, Moon or Ascendant is flagged as a direct hit — the placements astrologers consistently treat as the loudest. No contact within orb is an honest result too: that eclipse is background weather for you.
