When Is the Next Eclipse?

The next solar or lunar eclipse, its date, sign, and degree — computed live.

The short answer

The next eclipse is a Annular Solar Eclipse on February 6, 2027 at 15:59 UTC — about 111 days from now — at 17°Aquarius 37' in Aquarius. This is the calculated time of greatest eclipse globally, shown to the minute. Visibility and local viewing times depend on your location.

What the calculation tells you

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun; a lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through Earth's shadow. The alignment must be near a lunar node, so not every New or Full Moon is an eclipse.

The date, type and tropical zodiac longitude here are calculated with Swiss Ephemeris. The solar longitude describes the Sun, and the lunar longitude describes the Moon, at greatest eclipse. A zodiac sign is a coordinate label, not a visibility region.

Use the upcoming-eclipse dashboard to compare events, or the lunar calendar to explore phases.

Can you see it from your location?

This page gives a global event time, not local contact times or a visibility forecast. A solar eclipse is visible only from part of Earth; a lunar eclipse requires the Moon to be above your horizon. Weather can also limit observation. Your local calendar date may differ from UTC.

Check NASA’s eclipse maps and event information for the geographic coverage, and follow NASA’s solar-viewing safety guidance before observing the Sun.

A chart comparison is an interpretation

You can compare 17°Aquarius 37' in Aquarius with a natal placement using a stated orb. A close longitude comparison is a geometric result. Astrological themes attached to it are interpretive traditions; they do not predict a personal event or its intensity.

Unknown birth time limits the certainty of time-sensitive positions and makes chart angles unavailable. Base important decisions on your circumstances and evidence; this calendar does not establish a reason to delay them.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the next eclipse?

The next eclipse is a Annular Solar Eclipse on February 6, 2027 at 15:59 UTC, the calculated global maximum, about 111 days from now, at 17°Aquarius 37' in Aquarius.

Is the next eclipse solar or lunar?

It is a annular solar eclipse.

What sign is the next eclipse in?

The next eclipse falls in Aquarius, at 17°Aquarius 37'.

Will this eclipse affect me personally?

The calculation identifies an astronomical event. Comparing its longitude with a natal chart can support an optional symbolic reading; it does not predict personal outcomes.

Is it visible where I live?

Visibility depends on your location and the eclipse path, as well as the horizon and weather. The global time on this page is not a local viewing prediction; check a location-specific map.

Should I delay an important decision because of an eclipse?

The calendar alone cannot determine that. Assess the actual information, deadlines and consequences of the decision rather than treating an eclipse as a rule.
