Plain words

What does this mean?

On February 21, 2027 at 00:12 (CET), a lunar eclipse takes place in Virgo. It works like a Full Moon turned up loud, because Earth casts its shadow onto the Moon. In astrology, eclipses mark major turning points. Whatever surfaces or ends around now tends to echo for a long time.

Part 1 of 3

What does the Moon mean?

The MoonLunar Eclipse in Virgo

Your Moon is the inner life: moods, habits, home. It tells what feeds you, what triggers you, and how you get back to feeling safe when everything gets too noisy, whether that's tea on the sofa or a call to your sister. The Sun describes the person you want to be. The Moon is who you are with no one looking, down to your reflexes, longings and dreams.

Part 2 of 3

What does the Full Moon mean?

The Full MoonLunar Eclipse in Virgo

Full Moon: the Sun and Moon stand opposite each other, so the Moon is fully lit. What has been building for two weeks becomes visible now. Many people feel it as a peak, a moment to notice what is really going on.

Part 3 of 3

What does Virgo mean?

VirgoLunar Eclipse in Virgo

Virgo means craft and sorting. For Virgo, the good is in the details: in service, in care, and in really knowing how to do a thing. Where Virgo is active, something gets reworked, cleaned up and improved without fuss, and in the end it carries more than the louder gestures.

Together this means

What it means for your zodiac sign?

A short reading for each sun sign. You feel the moment most where it hits a point in your own chart directly.

For Aries

Aries

Aries sits at the edge this time. From there you can calmly watch what unfolds.

How to read the data

  • Type: total, partial, annular or penumbral tells you how much of the disc gets covered. For the astrological reading, the sign counts for more.
  • Visibility: your location decides whether you can watch it yourself. The astrological moment is identical everywhere on Earth.
Statistics 1900–2100

How often is there a lunar eclipse?

A year brings 2.28 lunar eclipses on average, anywhere from 2 to 4 depending on the year. Just 36.2 % of them are total. This one is penumbral, as were 37.3 % of all lunar eclipses from 1900 to 2100.

For an eclipse, a full moon has to happen while the Moon sits near one of its nodes, the two spots where its path crosses the Sun's. The timing works out roughly every six months, so eclipses arrive in pairs.

Virgo saw 39 lunar eclipses between 1900 and 2100. The one before this fell on 3 March 2026, the one after follows on 22 February 2035.
