When Is the Next Eclipse?
The next solar or lunar eclipse, its date, sign, and degree — computed live.
The next eclipse is a Total Solar Eclipse on August 12, 2026 — 73 days from now — at 20°Leo 02' in Leo. Eclipse seasons accelerate change and tend to bring news that feels fated; the effect is strongest if this eclipse lands near a planet in your own chart.
What does this mean for YOUR chart?
Ask the Cosmic Advisor →What an eclipse actually does
A solar eclipse is a supercharged New or Full Moon. Solar eclipses (New Moon) tend to open new chapters; lunar eclipses (Full Moon) tend to bring things to a head and release them.
Eclipses arrive in pairs or trios across a roughly two-week season, twice a year. They speed events up and often surface information you did not have, which is why decisions made in the heat of one can feel both powerful and rushed.
Will this eclipse affect you?
This one falls at 20°Leo 02' in Leo. If you have a planet or angle near that degree, you will feel it far more than someone who does not — that is the difference between a headline eclipse and a personal one.
Many astrologers suggest letting the dust settle a few days after an eclipse before committing to anything irreversible.
