Here is the eclipse calendar for 2018-2022 (with additional information on the visibility of the total lunar eclipse on January 21, 2019 in the territory former USSR) . For each year, there is a separate table with the date, Moscow time, type of solar or lunar eclipse, degree and sign of the zodiac in which the eclipse will take place, as well as regions where this phenomenon can be observed.

Eclipses are not uncommon, they happen every year. Solar eclipse occurs on the new moon, when the moon comes between the sun and the earth, partially or completely blocking the sunlight.

Moon eclipse occurs on a full moon when the earth is between the sun and the moon, and the earth casts a shadow on the moon.

The influence of eclipses

Solar eclipses affect more physical health, lunar - on emotions and mental state.

People who are sensitive, emotionally unstable, as well as those who have cardiovascular diseases, are recommended to reduce business activity and relax more on days near eclipses.

Also, eclipses have a greater effect on those people in whose horoscopes important points are affected by an eclipse.

Total lunar eclipse January 31, 2018. Visibility on the territory of the former USSR *

Lunar eclipse January 31 in one form or another can be observed throughout the territory of the former USSR. Fully all its phases will be visible in the eastern and central parts of the Russian Federation - in the Far East and almost in the entire Siberian Federal District. For observers in these regions, in order to find out the maximum phase of a total lunar eclipse, it is enough to replace Moscow time in the table with the time of their time zone. So in Khabarovsk and Vladivostok the culmination of the eclipse will take place at 23:30, the beginning of the partial eclipse at 21:48, and the beginning of the total eclipse at 22:50. Below is the time beginning of private phase, beginning of total lunar eclipse when the moon goes completely into the shadow of the earth and maximum eclipse phase in major cities in the region.

To the west it will be impossible to fully observe the beginning of the eclipse - its partial phase before the total eclipse, since in these regions the Moon has not yet had time to rise by the beginning of the eclipse. And the farther to the southwest, the most of the eclipse will be hidden from the eye of the observer under the horizon line. For this group of settlements, we will indicate the start time of the total eclipse, its largest phase, and the end time with the transition to a partial eclipse, when the Moon looks out of the shadow.

Even further to the west there is a band in which a total lunar eclipse is visible, i.e. the disk of the moon will be completely closed, but the beginning of the full phase cannot be observed and the moon is at the very horizon line. During the eclipse, the Moon rises higher and the visibility of the final phases of the eclipse will be better.

Total lunar eclipse January 21, 2019. Visibility on the territory of the former USSR **


This eclipse will be the only total lunar eclipse in 2019. It is noteworthy that it will happen during the so-called. supermoon - when the full (or new) moon in its elliptical motion around the earth is at the point closest to it. In addition, the "supermoon" during the eclipse will become "bloody" - when passing through the penumbra of the Earth, the lunar disk will acquire a brownish tint. In Europe, however, it will be very difficult to observe the eclipse, since the Moon will be located low above the horizon, and the further east, the lower.

Lunar eclipse January 21 can be observed in most of the territory of the former USSR, with the exception of Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and eastern Kazakhstan. In Russia, the eclipse will not be visible at all in the southern part of Siberia and Far East. The largest cities that will be bypassed by this eclipse: Krasnoyarsk, Bratsk, Irkutsk, Vladivostok. The table below shows the local times of the beginning of the full phase, the maximum and the end of the full phase, when the Moon looks out from behind the shadow of the Earth. Cities in which the eclipse is visible as partial or penumbral are not included in the table.

Eclipses. Calendar for 2022

There will be 4 eclipses in 2022 - 2 solar and 2 lunar.

A week later over the northern part the globe another total solar eclipse will pass. The inhabitants of Helsinki, Berlin, Kyiv, Moscow and other equally glorious cities of eastern, northern and central Europe will be able to contemplate only a partial hiding of the sun, while the starving children of Africa will again get nothing at all. In order not to be so offended by this natural injustice, we decided to study the calendar of total solar eclipses for the next 10 years in the world and find out which of our neighbors on the planet, and most importantly, when, will have a chance to see this marvelous wonder with our own eyes. According to statistics, for every 237 solar eclipses in a hundred years, only a quarter is total. In addition to the full ones, you should also pay attention to the ring-shaped ones - they differ from their more desirable counterparts only in that the shadow of the Moon cannot completely cover the Sun with it, because it passes too far from the Earth (together they pull a third of all eclipses in a hundred years) .

Moon eclipse

A lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon. It occurs because the Moon enters the shadow cast by the Earth from the Sun. However, not every full moon is accompanied by an eclipse. An eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth and Moon line up in a row. The Earth illuminated by the Sun casts a shadow into space that has a cone shape in length. Usually the Moon is above or below the earth's shadow and remains quite visible. But with some eclipses, it just falls into the shadow. In this case, the eclipse is visible only from that half of the earth's surface that faces the moon, that is, on which the night lasts. The opposite part of the Earth at this moment is turned towards the Sun, that is, it is daytime, and the lunar eclipse is not visible there. Often we cannot observe a lunar eclipse due to clouds.
In those cases when the Moon plunges into the earth's shadow only partially, an incomplete, or partial, eclipse occurs, and when it is entirely - a complete one. However, during a total eclipse, the Moon is rarely completely hidden, most often it only turns dark red. There are also penumbral eclipses. They occur when the Moon enters space near the cone of the Earth's shadow, which is surrounded by penumbra. Hence the name.
For centuries, ancient people observed the Moon and tried to systematize the onset of eclipses. It was not an easy task: there were years when there were three lunar eclipses, and it happened that not a single one. In the end, the mystery was solved: in 6585.3 days, 28 lunar eclipses. In the next 18 years, 11 days and 8 hours (the same number of days), all eclipses repeat according to the same schedule. So they learned to predict eclipses through "repetition", in Greek saros. Saros allows you to calculate eclipses for 300 years ahead.

Solar eclipse

Even more interesting solar eclipse. The reason for it lies in our space satellite.

The sun is a star, that is, a “self-luminous” body, unlike the planets, which only reflect its rays. Sometimes the Moon gets in the way of its rays and, like a screen, hides from us for a while daylight. A solar eclipse can only occur at a new moon, but also not at any, but only when the Moon is (when viewed from the Earth) neither above nor below the Sun, but just in the path of its rays.
A solar eclipse is essentially the same phenomenon as the occultation of the stars by the Moon (that is, the Moon moves between the stars and blocks them from us as it passes by). The moon is small compared to the sun heavenly body. But it is very close to us, so it can cover the big Sun, which is much further away. The Moon is 400 times smaller than the Sun and 400 times closer to it, so their disks appear to be the same size in the sky.
In the event of a solar eclipse, not all observers see the phenomenon in the same way. In the place where the cone of the moon's shadow touches the Earth, the eclipse is total. For observers outside the cone of the lunar shadow, it is only partial (the scientific name is private), and some see the closure of the lower part of the solar disk, and some see the upper one.
The dimensions of the moon are such that a total solar eclipse can last no longer than 6 minutes. The farther from the Earth the Moon, the shorter the total eclipse, since the apparent size of the lunar disk is smaller. If during a solar eclipse the moon is at greatest distance from the Earth, then it can no longer completely cover the disk of the Sun. In this case, a narrow light ring remains around the dark disk of the Moon. Scientists call this an annular eclipse of the Sun.
The entire process of the eclipse, from the first visible "touch" of the Moon's disk to the Sun's disk to complete convergence, takes about 2.5 hours. When the Sun is completely covered by the Moon, the illumination on Earth changes, becomes akin to night light, and a silvery crown shines in the sky around the black disk of the Moon - the so-called solar corona.
Although in general on Earth solar eclipses observed more often than lunar ones in a particular area total eclipses occur extremely rarely: on average, once every 300 years. In our time, solar eclipses are calculated with great accuracy for thousands of years ago and hundreds of years ahead.

Eclipses and astrology

AT individual astrology eclipses are still considered a negative factor that tends to have a bad effect on the fate and health of a person. But the degree of this influence is largely corrected by the indicators of each individual individual horoscope: the most Negative influence Eclipses can affect people born on the day of the eclipse and those people in whose horoscopes the eclipse point affects the most important indicators - it falls into the places where the Moon, the Sun or at the time of birth. In this case, the eclipse point connects with one of the main elements of the horoscope, which in reality may not be very favorable for the health and life spheres of the owner of the horoscope.
The strength of the influence of eclipses depends on which celestial house of the horoscope this conjunction occurs, which houses of the individual horoscope are ruled by the Sun or Moon, and what aspects (harmonious or negative) other planets and elements of the birth horoscope form to the point of eclipse. Birth on the day of an eclipse is a sign of fatality. But this does not mean that misfortunes will haunt a person all his life, it’s just that people born in an eclipse have a lower level of freedom, it’s more difficult for them to change something in their life, it’s kind of programmed for them. A person born in an eclipse is subject to the so-called Saros cycle, i.e. the similarity of life events can be traced with a period equal to this cycle - 18.5 years.

Cases that will nevertheless be started may be called back even after 18 years. However, if you are sure of success and your thoughts are pure before people and before God, and also if general characteristics the day of replacement is favorable, you can act, but remember that sooner or later you will have to answer for all the deeds and even thoughts associated with the day of the eclipse. A lunar eclipse may have an echo within three months, but the full impact of eclipses ends within 18.5 years, and the more part of the luminary was closed, the more powerful and longer the impact.

eclipses have a strong impact on all people, even those in whose horoscope eclipses are not accentuated in any way. Naturally, the current eclipse will have a stronger effect on people born on an eclipse, as well as on people whose horoscope is affected in one way or another by the eclipse points. An eclipse always has a special meaning if the degree of the current eclipse affects a planet or other important element birth horoscope. If the eclipse coincides with an important point in the horoscope, changes and important events can be expected. Even if the events that have come may not seem significant at first, their importance will certainly manifest itself over time. even a break in relations, adverse circumstances in business, deterioration in health. If the planets or other important points of the birth horoscope turn out to be in favorable aspects with the degree of eclipse, then changes or important events there will be, but they will not cause strong shocks, rather they will turn to the benefit of a person.

How to behave during eclipses

Moon- a luminary that is very close to us. The Sun gives energy (masculine), and the Moon absorbs (feminine). When two luminaries are at the same point during an eclipse, their energies have a strong impact on a person. There is a powerful load on the regulatory system in the body. Especially bad with health on the day of the eclipse for people with cardiovascular pathologies, hypertensive patients. People who are currently undergoing treatment will also feel bad. Even doctors say that on the day of the eclipse it is better not to engage in activity - actions will be inadequate and more likely to make mistakes. They advise to sit out this day. To avoid discomfort with health, it is recommended to take a contrast shower on this day. In 1954, the French economist Maurice Allais, observing the movements of the pendulum, noticed that during a solar eclipse, he began to move faster than usual. This phenomenon was called the Allais effect, but they could not systematize it. Today, new research by the Dutch scientist Chris Duif confirms this phenomenon, but cannot yet explain it. Astrophysicist Nikolai Kozyrev found out that eclipses affect people. He said that during eclipses, time is transformed. The consequences of an eclipse in the form powerful earthquake or other natural disaster is very likely during the week before or after any eclipse. In addition, instability in the economy is possible for several weeks after the eclipse. In any case, eclipses bring changes in society. During a lunar eclipse the mind, thinking and emotional sphere of people are highly vulnerable. The number of mental disorders in people is increasing. This is due to the disruption of the hypothalamus at the psychophysiological level, which corresponds to the Moon according to the discovery of Tony Neider (Nader Raja Rama). The hormonal cycles of the body can be disrupted, especially in women. During a solar eclipse, the work of the physiological correspondence of the Sun - the thalamus is more disturbed, and the risk of cardiovascular diseases will also increase, since the Sun controls the heart. The perception of "I", pure consciousness - clouded. The consequence of this may be increased tension, radical and aggressive tendencies in the world, as well as the unsatisfied ego of politicians or heads of state.

Sergei Shanov

The day of June 26 (July 8), 1842 in the Simbirsk province turned out to be serene. However, all more people turn their eyes to the familiar daylight, which slowly goes out. Here from the Sun remains a half, a quarter, the last edge. At about 10 o'clock in the morning the sun went dark, sticky darkness enveloped the earth and the stars sparkled very brightly in the firmament. Panic broke out among the civilian population. In Golodyaevka, Syzran district, the peasants, taken by surprise by the eclipse, left the fields shouting: "Lord, have mercy!" Last Judgment!!!", "Light performances!". In Goryushki, Sengileevsky district, people ran to the church, asked the priest to serve a prayer service. In Novy Tukshum, "weeping was heard in the streets and in houses, many thought that the end of the world had come."
The next solar eclipse, which in our area was destined to become universal, took place on August 7 (19), 1887. In the church annals of the village of Uvarovka, Sengileevsky district, there is the following entry: “We stocked up on smoked glasses for observing the cloudy Sun. I noticed some feeling of anxiety on the faces of those around me, everyone was expecting something strange. Finally, on top of the sun, on the right, I noticed a black spot. This was the beginning of the eclipse. This speck grew larger and larger, now half of it closed, it became cloudy, finally a small sickle remained, it became twilight; majestic, formidable. Oh! Inscrutable are the ways of the Lord. How insignificant a person seems at this time! ". The newspaper "Simbirskie Gubernskiye Vedomosti" dated August 12 (24) of that year reported that a rare natural phenomenon was observed not only out of idle curiosity. Simbirsk meteorologist I.P. Kozakevich considered a great eclipse of the Sun as a kind of unique scientific experiment during which he observed changes in the earth's atmosphere.
In the 20th century, the most significant eclipses of the Sun occurred on July 9, 1945 and February 15, 1961. Unfortunately, in both cases the weather was cloudy and these eclipses could be felt only in the gathering twilight.
Speaking of solar eclipses, one cannot fail to mention the All-Union Astronomical - Geodetic Society (VAGO). In 1961 - 1990, members of the Ulyanovsk branch of VAGO took part in the observations of one annular and four total solar eclipses visible on the territory of our country. On one of these expeditions, sent to White Sea, was lucky enough to take part in the author of these lines.
The nearest solar eclipse visible in Ulyanovsk will occur on May 31, 2003. From 2005 to 2008 solar eclipses will occur in Ulyanovsk annually (a unique case!). The most interesting will be solar eclipses on March 29, 2006 and August 1, 2008. The first of them will be total in Kislovodsk, Pyatigorsk, Nalchik, Astrakhan, Guriev, Astana, Gorno-Altaisk. The second will be complete in Nizhnevartovsk, Novosibirsk, Barnaul and again in Gorno-Altaisk. After that, the conditions for observing total solar eclipses from the territory of Russia will be extremely unfavorable.
On June 1, 2030, an annular solar eclipse will occur in Volgodonsk, Volgograd, Orenburg, Tomsk. On June 21, 2039, shortly before sunset, an annular eclipse will be visible in Talin, the Pskov region and Smolensk. On June 11, 2048, Riga, Bryansk, the Voronezh region, Volgograd, Astrakhan will fall into the band, again, of the annular eclipse. On April 20, 2061, there will be a total solar eclipse visible in the Lower and Middle Volga, in the Urals.
After this event, until 2300, only one short total solar eclipse will occur in Ulyanovsk - on July 8, 2214. On February 10, 2195 and March 15, 2249, annular solar eclipses can be observed in Ulyanovsk.
The calculations of the circumstances of the visibility of solar and lunar eclipses given in the tables correspond to the accepted Moscow time, summer time taken into account. The times in parentheses indicate that the eclipse occurs at sunrise or sunset.
