An important point when analyzing eclipses and their effects is to understand that, generally, places where the eclipse is visible will see more effects than places where no visibility happens. It is also important to understand that eclipses have long sprawling effects, instead of immediate ones. New Moons and Full Moons affect the weeks around them, indicating monthly trends; Solar Eclipses and Lunar Eclipses affect the months around them, indicating yearly trends. The effects discussed below are things that will tend to happen in the next 6 months.

Visibility: Pacific, Atlantic, Antarctica, South in Africa, South in South America

Solar Eclipse at 04° Aquarius, Dhanishtha Nakshatra

The Eclipse will happen in Dhanishtha nakshatra, a star symbolized by a drum. It is usually related to wealth and success. It shows the hollowness of life, that can be transformed through our touch and involvement. It deals with creating, making and finding meaning in life.

The Solar Eclipse will happen with a powerful square to Uranus, which intensifies the Aquarius energy of change and transformation. This Eclipse can deal a lot with great revelations and changes, in regards to politics and technology.

The Eclipse will be visible around Argentina and Chile, two countries that have been dealing with forest fires earlier this year. I tend to believe that issues around these countries will continue and/or become prominent. As Eclipses are long spanning, those two countries could be dealing with change and conflict in the coming months, maybe for most of the first half of 2026.

The Eclipse will also be visible around South Africa, so events and changes there could also happen.

Outside of visibility, but still important, is the fact that the chart of the United States will be affected by the Eclipse as well.

The birth Moon of the US, at 7° Aquarius, will be conjunct the Solar Eclipse. In a mundane chart, the Moon rules the masses, the people. So the Eclipse could signal a change in mood in America, with people changing their minds in some way.

Still, I believe this Solar Eclipse could harbor some positive effects for the US. The star of Dhanishtha relates a lot to wealth and good fortune, so some upturns in the economy are a possibility. Specially in March, this could happen.

As the Moon rules mentality, we can also see a change in mentality for the country. Again, this goes in line with the cultural changes and long term trends I’ve mentioned in other texts. The Solar Eclipse here promotes a new way of thinking for the country. There will be disruption and discomfort associated with this, and some broken taboos could cause shock. But overall, I see this as a good trend in the long term.

Finally, the Moon rules the 8th house of transformation and speculation/finances. This again reinforced the idea that the Eclipse will promote great changes in the country’s way of thinking, as well as the possibility of upturns in the economy.

A final mundane point deals with Mars. On March 1st, Mars will transit the exact degree of this Solar Eclipse, reactivating these energies. So March could start with a bang, with major turns or events happening then.

On a personal level, this Solar Eclipse in Aquarius is a great moment to breakout of old taboos and personal restrictions we have. It is a good time to explore, take chances, discover something new and expand our world.

People with planets around 4° in the fixed signs (Aquarius, Leo, Taurus and Scorpio) can feel this Eclipse more strongly. Maybe some surprises or big life changes can happen now. From my Eclipses Guide (a recommended reading), I usually say that these personal effects are only notable when conjunct or opposing the Eclipse, which would be Aquarius and Leo.

But the true strong, life changing, effects of Eclipses only come when a personal point in our charts is touched by one. That is, when a planet is within 5° conjunct or opposing an Eclipse.

How Will The Eclipse Affect Me?

However, with the Uranus aspect in this Eclipse, I see an exception and I believe that Taurus and Scorpio could also be affected this time. So do check if your chart has a planet in these degrees of these signs!

Check my guide for Eclipses to understand how will the Eclipse affect you personally.
