Astronomy And Astrology
The NASA Saros number identifies the astronomical recurrence family. The North, South, New, and Old names are an astrological convention associated with Bernadette Brady's eclipse work. NASA does not assign the interpretive meanings on this page.
Use the theme as a study prompt alongside the eclipse degree, natal contacts, house topics, and lived context. It should not be read as a fixed prediction about health, relationships, money, or fate.
Theme
Partings, endings, and new situations after separation
This family points toward goodbye, distance, or the close of a bond or chapter. The tradition also links it with renewal after the separation, so the most responsible reading allows both grief and future possibility.
