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
Strong feelings around relationship, desire, money, or control
This family can coincide with emotionally charged material around bonds, desire, value, or possession. Treat the intensity as meaningful but not automatically directive; pause before turning a temporary charge into a permanent decision.
