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
Severance, emotional processing, and changes in associations
This family points to endings or changes in associations that can carry emotional weight. Read it as a prompt to notice what is naturally concluding and to give the transition enough time before naming it as final.
