An Eclipse Is a Special Form of a New Moon and a Full Moon
A solar eclipse occurs only at the time of a new moon, and a lunar eclipse only at the time of a full moon. Because they occur only when the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth are aligned in a shape close to a straight line, they do not occur at every month's new moon or full moon.
The period when eclipses are concentrated is called an eclipse season. This season comes about every 173 days, and each lasts several weeks. In one year, there are 4 to 7 solar and lunar eclipses combined. In addition, a cycle called Saros, of about 18 years and 11 days, is also known as a cycle in which the same alignment returns.
The Reason They Are Read as Turning Points
An eclipse is a phenomenon where the alignment matches more strictly than at an ordinary new moon or full moon. For that reason, in astrology it has been read as a stronger break point than the usual waxing and waning of the Moon, a switching over of things.
However, we do not read it as meaning that some special event will necessarily occur on the day of an eclipse. On this site, we use an eclipse season as a marker for placing a break point. It is a form where you place it as a period for taking stock of what you have continued and deciding the arrangements up to the next break point.
Placing Judgment in a Form Where You Do Not Rush
The kind of judgment suited to an eclipse season is, rather than newly deciding, organizing the order in which you decide. If you fix a large direction at a stage when information is not yet complete, the scope to correct later becomes large.
For example, in a scene where you are thinking about a change of assignments in an organization, a form where, during the eclipse season, you prepare candidates and conditions, and you place the actual decision after the season has passed, is suited. You narrow the event to decide to one, and for the rest you keep it to gathering materials.
When Using It in the Position of a Manager
The more a change involves subordinates and business partners, the more how you place the turning point takes effect. If you use an eclipse season not as a period to announce a change, but as a period to prepare the change, you can also advance explanations to the people concerned in order.
In a short morning check, you hold down only whether that period is in an eclipse season or not. With that alone, it becomes easier to judge shifting the place where you put a decision. It is a form where you use it not as a question of whether you believe in fortune-telling, but as a marker for separating the timing of judgment.
Its Position Within the Moon's Cycle
The usual waxing and waning of the Moon goes around once in about 29.5 days, and within that, an eclipse season overlaps about every six months. You use the short rhythm of the Moon for daily arrangements, and the eclipse season for break points in units of half a year. If you look at it in these two layers, you can place a turning point as a break point in practical work without treating it exaggeratedly.
In this site's monthly horoscope, we write based on that month's new moon and full moon as the basis. For a month when an eclipse overlaps, please confirm it including that point as well.
