Eclipses become personally extremely important when an eclipse creates a close aspect to planets in your natal (birth) astrology chart. It is important to know your planetary positions exactly to determine if an eclipse personally effects you.  It is strongly believed that eclipses of close aspect to a birth chart planet (1-2 degrees or less), can influence events for six months intensely, and can even effect you for up to 2 years, expressed in your life by the sign and house in which the eclipse occurs.
 
Significance of Lunar Eclipses if they aspect your chart:
The energy of the moon is internal, maternal, nurturing, and deeply emotional.  When a lunar eclipse occurs, the earth is passing between the Sun and the Moon, creating a Full Moon just like every other month; however, during an eclipse the alignment is perfect and the moon is covered for an hour or more by the shadow of the earth.   Full Moon energy is great, but it is suspended and absent briefly during the eclipse, therefore the eclipse influences you with a sense of lack, absence, or withholding.  How that lack or absence is expressed depends totally on the house, sign, and planetary aspect delineated in your astrological birth chart.  Lunar eclipses typically address relationship and connection issues with others described by the Moon's position in your chart.  Depending upon your chart, these issue may take the form of severing, challenges, sudden mergers, bonding; it is a time to look within, confront our demons, old habits, fears.  Because the Sun and Moon are in opposing astrological signs, the Sun's position may be expressed in a release from what holds you back, opportunities for understanding, finding a balance in your life.

Significance of Solar Eclipses if they aspect your chart:
The energy of the Sun is external, paternal, protective, and active. When a solar eclipse occurs, the Moon is passing between the Earth and the Sun, creating a New Moon just as in every other month; however, during a solar eclipse the alignment is perfect and the Sun is hidden from view for an hour or more.  In a total Solar Eclipse, the intensity of the New Moon is strong because the Moon is so near to the earth and because the Sun and Moon are in the same astrological signs, increasing the focus and intensity of that sign, house, and planetary aspect and thus the intensity on your life will be heightened.  During the Solar Eclipse the life giving energy, warmth, and light of the Sun are withheld or suspended for a brief time and we again experience a lack or  absence, a sense of missing energy.  How that is expressed in your life depends completely upon the house and sign in which the eclipse occurs, and upon any close planetary aspects that may also occur.
