Choose Your Rising Sign.
These readings use whole sign houses. Choose your rising sign for the area of life, then check natal planets and angles for exact contacts.
Consider how private needs and public responsibilities are being balanced. A home or family arrangement may reveal what the wider plan depends on behind the scenes. Read the fourth and tenth houses together and make room for both duty and support. Recognition of an imbalance can lead to a practical adjustment rather than an all or nothing choice.
The eclipse is near 21°28′ Cancer, opposite 21°28′ Capricorn. Keep both houses in view, then check natal planets and angles near the same numbered degree in the aspect signs below. Their function and natal houses make the reading more specific than the rising sign alone.
Look at the information, conversation or learning process that now needs a wider perspective. An everyday assumption may no longer fit what you have discovered. Read the third and ninth houses together, connecting detail with interpretation. You can draw a useful conclusion while remaining open to evidence that changes it later.

Review the relationship between your own resources and shared obligations. Something may have developed far enough to show whether the arrangement supports your priorities. Read the second and eighth houses together and clarify what belongs to whom. An emotional response can point to an important value without deciding the practical solution by itself.

Read the first and seventh houses together: your direction matters, and so do the agreements through which you share it with other people.

Something private may be ready to be acknowledged before you decide what to do with it. Rest, unfinished obligations or a pattern behind your daily choices can become clearer. Read the twelfth and sixth houses together and give insight a manageable practical outlet. You do not need to explain every private realization publicly for it to matter.

Notice what a group, friendship or shared goal has become through actual participation. The stated purpose may still fit, or you may want a different contribution. Read the eleventh and fifth houses together, keeping personal creativity and enjoyment in view. Belonging should have room for the particular person you are, not only the role you perform.

A belief or larger direction may need to account for information that no longer fits the old explanation. Study, travel or a publishing project can provide a setting for that recognition. Read the ninth and third houses together and let practical detail participate in the conclusion. Certainty is less useful than a view that can keep learning.

Evaluate the routine alongside the time needed for rest and less visible work. A pattern may have become clear enough to address through practical changes in workload or support.

The partial lunar eclipse at 21°28′ Cancer places needs for care, privacy and belonging opposite the Capricorn Sun’s emphasis on responsibility. A partial eclipse means part of the Moon passes into Earth’s darker shadow. In the chart, the useful inquiry concerns the relationship between a duty and the support available to carry it, rather than a prediction that a family or career crisis must occur.
Look at what has become expected because you have kept providing it. Cancer can respond to a need before anyone names it, while Capricorn can turn that response into a standing responsibility. A clearer agreement may allow the care to continue more sustainably. Read both houses to find the actual areas of life involved; this axis is not automatically a forecast about your parents or job.
A lunar eclipse is a Full Moon near a lunar node, with Earth between the Sun and Moon. Penumbral, partial and total describe how the Moon crosses Earth’s shadow. The astrological reading follows the Full Moon’s tropical zodiac degree and the opposing Sun. The time of the exact Full Moon can differ slightly from the instant of greatest eclipse, so those two timestamps should not be treated as interchangeable.
Start with the house containing Cancer, then read Capricorn across the axis. An exact conjunction brings a natal point in Cancer into direct contact; the other named aspects below describe different relationships to the eclipse degree. Look at the natal planet’s function and the houses it rules before deciding what the contact might concern. The chart provides a symbolic framework for interpretation, not an obligation for a particular event to happen.

The rising sign reading gives you the whole sign house story. Check the event degree against your natal planets and angles to see whether it is also making an exact contact in your chart.
Read these as contacts to a natal planet or angle, not a prediction for everyone with that Sun sign. Each aspect is exact at the same numbered degree in the signs listed.

Use the transit’s degree or the eclipse degree given above, then find natal planets and angles near that same degree in the signs listed here. The sign relationship identifies the aspect; the degree tells you how close it is.
A square or opposition can describe tension that needs a response; a sextile or trine can describe cooperation or an opening. Neither is a guaranteed outcome. Read the contacted planet, its house and the rest of the chart.
