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
Power, momentum, relationship intensity, and group effort
This family is read through forceful energy in relationship or group situations. Use it to notice where momentum is building, then channel that charge into consent-aware, deliberate action rather than domination or reactivity.

There is a Pluto-Mars opposition and the eclipse is conjunct Venus with this conjunction sitting on the Uranus/Node midpoint.
Pluto = Mars
New Moon = Venus = Uranus/Node
