Annular solar eclipse in Pisces: astrology meaning
A solar eclipse is a supercharged New Moon. Astrologers read it as a sudden opening or fresh start around intuition, dreams and endings (Pisces). It falls near the North Node, traditionally the side of the axis linked to growth and new direction. The Pisces–Virgo axis matters most if you have planets or angles within a few degrees of 9°54′ Pisces or Virgo.
It is the New Moon of February 2044.

What does this eclipse mean in astrology?
A solar eclipse is a supercharged New Moon. Astrologers read it as a sudden opening or fresh start around intuition, dreams and endings (Pisces). It falls near the North Node, traditionally the side of the axis linked to growth and new direction. The Pisces–Virgo axis matters most if you have planets or angles within a few degrees of 9°54′ Pisces or Virgo.
Is it safe to watch?
Only with certified ISO 12312-2 eclipse glasses or a solar viewer for every partial phase. Looking at the Sun directly or through sunglasses, a camera or binoculars without a solar filter can damage your eyes. Only during totality itself, if you are in the path, is it safe to look without protection.
