Eclipses in Aquarius
Aquarius has no total solar eclipse between Feb 16, 1980 and Jan 27, 2093, but plenty of every other kind. Every eclipse in the sign from 1900 to 2100, with date and degree.
Aquarius eclipses at a glance
An eclipse in Aquarius here means the eclipsed body was between 0° and 30° of Aquarius. Solar eclipses in Aquarius fall from late January to February 18, with the Sun in the sign; lunar ones from late July to August 19, with the Moon full in Aquarius and the Sun opposite in Leo. Of the 36 solar eclipses, 15 were annular, the joint most of any sign with Pisces, and only 9 total, none of them between 1980 and 2093.

The earliest in the span is the partial lunar eclipse of at 21°42′ Aquarius, and the latest is the penumbral lunar eclipse of at 27°07′ Aquarius. The most recent total solar eclipse in Aquarius before 2026 was on at 26°50′; the first from 2026 on is at 7°55′.
Upcoming eclipses in Aquarius
The eclipses in Aquarius from January 2026 onward, in UTC. The list is split at the year boundary rather than at today's date so it stays put for twelve months, which means its first row can already have happened.
Aquarius is the sign of the group, and an eclipse is the one thing in the sky people watch in crowds. Astrologers make nothing of that coincidence, but they do file friends, allies, the committee, the cause and the hopes kept for later under Aquarius, and say an eclipse there rearranges who you stand with. People with a planet near the degree describe the friendship that ended over one message, the club joined at forty, or the plan for later that finally got a date. At the lunar ones the Sun is opposite in Leo, and it comes down to one person against the room.

Every eclipse in Aquarius, 1900–2100
All 78 of them, by decade. Each degree links to the Cycle Lab query for that point of the zodiac, so you can see what else has ever stood there.
The annular eclipse of Feb 17, 2026 at 28°50′ Aquarius comes back annular on Feb 16, 2045, a few arc-minutes back. Nineteen years, a day short, the same degree: the Metonic cycle, and the catalogue holds 633 such pairs with a mean drift of 0.24°. The Saros, 18 years and 11 days, is the one that travels; each step moves the eclipse about 10.79° forward, so a Saros series crosses Aquarius in roughly three steps and is gone.

A solar eclipse is listed by the Sun's own sign. A lunar eclipse is listed by the sign of the eclipsed Moon, which is always opposite the Sun, so a lunar eclipse shown here in Aquarius happens with the Sun in Leo. Positions are apparent geocentric ecliptic longitude for the equinox of date, the tropical position an astrologer reads. I store each instant in the shared catalogue floored to the hour, so the UTC date is exact and no time of day is shown. The catalogue is published under CC BY 4.0.

Eclipses in Aquarius: questions
What does an eclipse in Aquarius mean?
Astrologers treat an eclipse as a new or full Moon with the volume turned up, and read one in Aquarius through what they file under Aquarius: friends, groups, allies and long-range hopes. They give it most weight when it lands within a few degrees of a planet or angle in a birth chart. The astronomy is plainer: an eclipse is a new or full Moon that falls close to a lunar node. Every degree is in the tables above.
When is the next eclipse in Aquarius?
Counting from January of the year this page was built, the first eclipse in Aquarius is Feb 17, 2026 (annular solar eclipse, 28°50′). I split past from upcoming at a year boundary rather than at the build date so the list stays put for twelve months; the price is that its first row can already have happened. The rows after it sit in the upcoming table above, and the decade tables hold every eclipse in Aquarius from 1900 to 2100.
How often do eclipses fall in Aquarius?
78 times between 1900 and 2100, 36 solar and 42 lunar. Not evenly, though: they come in runs. Each eclipse season falls about 19 days earlier than the year before, which walks the eclipsed degree back through the zodiac by roughly 19 degrees a year, so Aquarius collects eclipses in a cluster of about eighteen months, then waits years for the next cluster. And an eclipse usually returns to nearly the same degree, on nearly the same date, 19 years later.
Which sign is a lunar eclipse in?
The Moon's. At a lunar eclipse the Moon is full, so it stands opposite the Sun, and a lunar eclipse listed here in Aquarius happens with the Sun in Leo. Astrologers name it the same way, as a full Moon in Aquarius. The catalogue follows suit: I record the longitude of whichever body is eclipsed, the Sun for a solar eclipse and the Moon for a lunar one. The lunar eclipses that have the Sun in Aquarius are on the Leo page.
