Eclipses – Rules to Remember
by Judy Collins

1. Eclipses show where change is needed.
   
2. If there is no need for change, then nothing will occur.
   
3. Think of Eclipses as a new opportunity.
   
4. Keep the orbs tight (within 3-5 degrees).
   
5. Check Progressions for Eclipse degree.
   
6. Eclipses that Conjunct or are in Opposition to a natal planet are the strongest.
   
7. Eclipses in angles (1st-4th-7th-10th) are more powerful.
   
8. Minor aspects have little effect in Eclipses.
   
9. Note on chart where the Eclipses will fall.
   
10. Do the Solstice Points of Eclipses and mark chart.
    
11. Mark transits that are Conjunct, Opposition, or Square an Eclipse point.
    
12. Mark Critical Degrees in Eclipse chart.
    
13. Cardinal-0-13-26 Mutable-4-17 Fixed-9-21
    
14. Note last same Eclipse-what happened in your life?
    
15. How effective was this Eclipse causing events?
    
16. Never ignore an Eclipse; they will "get you" when you least expect it.
