Eclipses in Gemini
The next total solar eclipse in Gemini lands on May 20, 2050 at 0°01′, one arc-minute into the sign. Every eclipse in Gemini from 1900 to 2100, with date and degree.
Gemini eclipses at a glance
An eclipse in Gemini here means the eclipsed body stood between 0° and 30° of Gemini: the Sun for solar eclipses, which fall from May 20 to June 21, and the Moon for lunar ones, which fall from late November to December 21 with the Sun opposite in Sagittarius. Gemini leans solar, 42 to 35, and 18 of those solar eclipses were total, the joint highest count of any sign.

The earliest in the span is the total solar eclipse of at 6°47′ Gemini, and the latest is the penumbral lunar eclipse of at 8°32′ Gemini. The most recent total solar eclipse in Gemini before 2026 was on at 19°43′; the first from 2026 on is at 0°01′.
Upcoming eclipses in Gemini
The eclipses in Gemini 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.
People with a planet near an eclipse degree in Gemini describe the same few things: a conversation with a brother or sister postponed for a decade, a move three streets over, a phone that goes quiet. Astrologers would expect that. Gemini is their file for siblings, neighbours, errands and everything said or written, and an eclipse there, they say, changes what gets said and to whom. At the lunar ones the Sun sits opposite in Sagittarius, and the row is about what is true rather than what was said.

Every eclipse in Gemini, 1900–2100
All 77 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 partial solar eclipse of Jun 12, 2029 at about 21° Gemini comes back as an annular one on Jun 11, 2048, a fraction of a degree back. That is the Metonic cycle, 19 years within a day, and the catalogue holds 633 such pairs with a mean drift of 0.24°. The Saros is different: 18 years and 11 days, and each step moves the eclipse about 10.79° forward, so a Saros series crosses Gemini 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 Gemini happens with the Sun in Sagittarius. 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 Gemini: questions
What does an eclipse in Gemini mean?
Astrologers treat an eclipse as a new or full Moon with the volume turned up, and read one in Gemini through what they file under Gemini: siblings, neighbours, errands and everything said or written. 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 Gemini?
Counting from January of the year this page was built, the first eclipse in Gemini is Jun 12, 2029 (partial solar eclipse, 21°29′). 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 Gemini from 1900 to 2100.
How often do eclipses fall in Gemini?
77 times between 1900 and 2100, 42 solar and 35 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 Gemini 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 Gemini happens with the Sun in Sagittarius. Astrologers name it the same way, as a full Moon in Gemini. 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 Gemini are on the Sagittarius page.
