Eclipse Calculator — Where Eclipses Hit Your Birth Chart

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.

Questions

How do I find which house the eclipse falls in for me?

Enter your birth date, time and place. The calculator computes your natal house cusps with the Swiss Ephemeris and places the eclipse’s exact zodiac degree into one of your twelve houses. Birth time matters here — house cusps shift roughly every four minutes of clock time.

What does it mean when an eclipse aspects my natal planets?

Astrologers read a tight conjunction, opposition or square from an eclipse point to a personal planet (within about 3 degrees) as a personal activation — that eclipse season tends to be felt directly rather than as background weather. The calculator lists every aspect within orb and shows the exact orb.

Which eclipses does this cover?

The upcoming eclipse calendar, currently through the August 2, 2027 total solar eclipse. Each event’s moment is refined against the ephemeris — the exact new or full moon of the eclipse — rather than copied from a table, so the dates and degrees you see are computed, not typed.
