A solar eclipse happens at a New Moon, when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun. A lunar eclipse happens at a Full Moon, when the Earth’s shadow falls on the Moon. A penumbral lunar eclipse only dims the Moon slightly, and is easy to miss. Astrologers read eclipses as New and Full Moons with extra weight, often marking a turn in the part of your life where they fall.
