How Solar Eclipse And New Moon On October 25 Will Affect Your Zodiac Sign

Brace yourselves! The eclipses are here — almost. The autumn 2022 eclipse season includes two eclipses: A partial solar eclipse on Oct. 25 and a total lunar eclipse spanning from Nov. 7 to 8.

The solar eclipse on Tuesday, Oct. 25 aligns with the new moon, and will last from 3.58 a.m. ET to 8:02 a.m. ET, per Space.com.

Eclipses inspire fascination, and sometimes terror, with ancient cultures reaching to mythology to explain the celestial phenomena that so often creates striking effects. Astrologically, eclipses take on a significant meaning, too. 

Whenever an eclipse happens, we can expect a wake up call from the universe. Being that this is a solar eclipse, we are being asked to start anew. This could mean that we are being let go of situations that are no longer serving our highest interest, with the purpose of moving towards fresh starts. Remember, “Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.”

The cosmos are asking us to shed what is no longer useful to our lives. Embrace the energy. Let go or be dragged. 

But read on for the astrological effects of the upcoming solar eclipse on Oct. 25, which will be visible  

What will happen during the solar eclipse on Oct. 25?

Simply put, a solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the sun and the earth. Solar eclipses happen during the new moon lunar phase.

Since Oct. 25’s is a partial eclipse, the moon’s shadow will only partially block the sun’s light. 

Where will the solar eclipse on Oct. 25 be relevant?

What are the astrological effects of this solar eclipse? 

The eclipse will be visible from Europe, northern Africa, the Middle East, and western parts of Asia.

Even if you can’t see the upcoming eclipse on Oct. 25, you may feel its effects in your chart. Note that the eclipse will “activate” everyone’s chart differently. 

What are the astrological effects of the solar eclipse?

There’s another way of looking at eclipses which is relevant to astrology. Lunar nodes are intersection points between the path of the moon and the path of the sun. Eclipses occur when the moon crosses the lunar node. 

Within our birth charts, the lunar nodes — which change zodiac signs every 1 and a half years — appear as the nodes of destiny, which show our lifetime karma. The transiting nodes of destiny show the energy that we are working on and healing during the course of its transit.

So, in the case of this eclipse, we’re looking at the sign of Scorpio. Scorpios are known to be fearless, loyal, and mysterious. With this energy permeating the air, we can expect the vibe to be intense and passionate — especially since Venus, the planet of romance and love, aligns with the eclipse. 

The node of destiny is currently in the opposite sign of Scorpio, which is Taurus. There will be a sense of urgency to commit to a partnership or to leave one that isn’t working as it should. Also, we may be too kind and giving — not just with our money, but with our time to those we care about.
