Greatest eclipse is at January 26, 2028, 3:07 PM in your zone, with the Sun and Moon at 6°10′ Aquarius, near the North Node, 85 percent covered. Where it can be seen: annular path: Galápagos, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Suriname, French Guiana, Atlantic, Spain, Portugal. Partial: Americas, west Africa, Europe.
The Moon is too far away to finish the job, and leaves a ring of fire in the sky.
In an annular solar eclipse the Moon passes directly across the Sun but is near the far point of her orbit, so she is not quite large enough to cover it. A bright ring, the annulus, is left around her dark disk. The day does not go dark, and the ring is never safe to look at without protection. Astrologers read the annular eclipse as a total eclipse with the center left open, a beginning that shows its shape but not yet its substance.
A ring of fire in early Aquarius—the Sun hollowed briefly as the path crosses the Galápagos, the length of South America, and on to Spain and Portugal. The ring is the eggshell. Something in you is being born through it that was not quite expected—a new faculty, a new tenderness, a direction you did not plan to be capable of. Aquarius does not require the answer in words. It only asks you to admit the hatching as it happens.
An eclipse at the North Node: the Dragon’s Head, the mouth that swallows the light to make room for something.
This eclipse falls near the North Node, at 6°10′ Aquarius, the degree whose image is a child stepping into the world from the broken shell of an egg. Astrologers read North Node eclipses as openings: what they bring is unfamiliar, sometimes unwanted, and pointed toward growth. The tradition treats the weeks after as a time when a door that was not there before is found to be standing open, and it does not promise that walking through will be comfortable.
6°10′ Aquarius, the seventh degree. A child stepping into the world from the broken shell of an egg.
Every eclipse has a family. Its elders came eighteen years before, a third of the world to the west.
