Taurus has waited since 1947 for a total solar eclipse and gets its next in 2041. Every eclipse in the sign from 1900 to 2100 is here, with date and degree.

Taurus eclipses at a glance

Here, an eclipse in Taurus means the eclipsed body was between 0° and 30° of Taurus. The solar ones fall from April 20 to May 20, with the Sun in the sign; the lunar ones from late October to November 21, with the Moon full in Taurus and the Sun opposite in Scorpio. Taurus collects total solar eclipses, 15 of its 35, but not lately: none since May 20, 1947, and none until Apr 30, 2041.

Total solar eclipse: 15
Annular solar eclipse: 7
Partial solar eclipse: 13
Total lunar eclipse: 15
Partial lunar eclipse: 10
Penumbral lunar eclipse: 14

The earliest in the span is the total solar eclipse of May 18, 1901 at 26°34′ Taurus, and the latest is the total solar eclipse of May 11, 2097 at 21°52′ Taurus. The most recent total solar eclipse in Taurus before 2026 was on May 20, 1947 at 28°42′; the first from 2026 on is Apr 30, 2041 at 10°30′.

Upcoming eclipses in Taurus

The eclipses in Taurus 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.

A pension statement, a lease with two names on it, the sofa you would carry down four flights rather than leave behind: Taurus, to astrologers, is what you own and would rather keep. An eclipse there, they say, asks what a thing is worth to you by threatening to remove it. People with a planet near the degree describe a job, a flat or a habit going from fixed to negotiable inside a month, and the lunar eclipses, with the Sun opposite in Scorpio, make it a question about the joint account.

Every eclipse in Taurus, 1900–2100

All 74 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 total lunar eclipse of Nov 8, 2022 at about 16° Taurus comes back on Nov 8, 2041, a partial one, a few arc-minutes along. That is the Metonic cycle, 19 years to the day, and the catalogue holds 633 such pairs with a mean drift of 0.24°. The Saros is the other rhythm, 18 years and 11 days, and it walks: each step carries the eclipse about 10.79° forward, so a series spends roughly three steps, half a century, crossing Taurus before it leaves.

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 Taurus happens with the Sun in Scorpio. 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 the other signs

The same tables for each of the twelve signs, from the same catalogue, so a degree that looks busy here can be checked against its neighbours.

To search one degree rather than a whole sign, use Cycle Lab, which runs the same catalogue in your browser and shows how busy every other degree is by comparison.

Eclipses in Taurus: questions

What does an eclipse in Taurus mean?

Astrologers treat an eclipse as a new or full Moon with the volume turned up, and read one in Taurus through what they file under Taurus: money, possessions, comfort and whatever you would rather not give up. 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 Taurus?

Counting from January of the year this page was built, the first eclipse in Taurus is Oct 30, 2031 (penumbral lunar eclipse, 6°47′). 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 Taurus from 1900 to 2100.

How often do eclipses fall in Taurus?

74 times between 1900 and 2100, 35 solar and 39 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 Taurus 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 Taurus happens with the Sun in Scorpio. Astrologers name it the same way, as a full Moon in Taurus. 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 Taurus are on the Scorpio page.
