Knowledge of the Saros eclipse system can be incredibly important for self-knowledge and evolution, both on an individual and collective level. The Saros cycles, through their astrological implications, offer deep insights into personal growth, spiritual development, and karmic patterns that are reflected in both our personal lives and the larger historical narrative. Understanding this system can help individuals align with their higher purpose, heal past karmic imprints, and better navigate life’s challenges:
Key Aspects of the Saros Cycle:
- Duration and Repetition:
- A Saros lasts about 18 years, 11 days, and 8 hours. This period is the time it takes for the Sun, Earth, and Moon to realign in the same relative positions after a given eclipse.
- Because of this alignment, eclipses that belong to the same Saros share certain properties, such as the type of eclipse (solar or lunar), the location, and the geometry of the Sun, Earth, and Moon.
- Eclipse Families:
- Eclipses that belong to the same Saros family are considered related, as they follow a similar pattern. Each Saros family contains a series of eclipses, which are usually consecutive.
- These eclipse families can range from several eclipses to a few dozen, depending on the period. Solar eclipses within a Saros family generally span several centuries.
- Solar and Lunar Eclipses:
- Solar eclipses can occur at the same time each year within a given Saros cycle, but they may appear in different locations on Earth as the Earth’s position changes relative to the Moon’s orbit.
- Lunar eclipses within a Saros family also repeat in a similar manner.
- The Eclipse Path:
- As the Saros cycle progresses, the path of the eclipse moves across the Earth. This means that eclipses from the same Saros family may initially occur over one region and, over the course of the cycle, shift to different parts of the world.
- This shifting occurs because the alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon gradually changes as the Saros progresses.
- Saros Numbers:
- Each Saros family is assigned a number (e.g., Saros 145, Saros 150). This allows astronomers and astrologers to track specific eclipse families and compare their occurrence.
- An individual eclipse within a Saros family is also given an individual number based on its position in that family.
The Scope of the Saros System:
- The Saros system covers thousands of years. Some Saros families extend over a period of more than 1,000 years, allowing us to track eclipses that occurred in the distant past and predict those that will occur far into the future.
- This makes it a valuable tool for both historical and future eclipse research.

This Chiron Project is focused on developing an AI-driven online system for subscribers that simplifies the process of plotting eclipse families, utilizing the accurate data from the NASA Eclipse Catalogue.
Why is this important?
By automating the process of eclipse family plotting, this tool will provide users with instant access to deeper insights into their astrological charts, by understanding their Pre-Conception, Pre-Natal and Post Natal Eclipses that hold profound astrological significance as they reveal key aspects of an individual’s karmic journey, life purpose, and spiritual growth.
- Pre-Conception Eclipse: Provide insights into the soul’s preparation for incarnation, offering clues about past-life experiences and unresolved karmic patterns that influence the individual’s current life.
- Pre-Natal Eclipse: Reflects the soul’s mission and the lessons it is meant to learn in this lifetime. They help uncover the individual’s spiritual path and the purpose they are here to fulfil.
- Post-Natal Eclipse: Reveals key life events and emotional milestones that shape the individual’s evolution, marking times of healing, release, and transformation as the soul moves forward on its journey.
Together, these eclipses form a comprehensive map of personal evolution and spiritual growth, offering profound insights into an individual’s past, present, and future. Understanding these eclipses supports a deeper connection with one’s higher purpose and the cyclical nature of life’s unfolding.
Each eclipse series carries a karmic theme that is embedded in the first eclipse of the series. This initial eclipse sets the tone for the entire cycle of eclipses that follows, influencing the events and energies of the eclipses connected to an individual’s birth. The karmic themes of the first eclipse are passed down the line, imprinting specific patterns or life lessons that will play out across the subsequent eclipses within the series.
The first eclipse in the series marks the origin of a karmic journey, representing a specific set of challenges or growth opportunities that will unfold over the course of the series.
The eclipses surrounding the birth are influenced by this initial karmic imprint, shaping the individual’s life path, spiritual lessons, and emotional experiences. These eclipses carry forward the energy of the first eclipse, reflecting the karmic threads the individual will need to address or evolve over time.
In essence, the first eclipse in each Saros family functions as a cosmic starting point, planting the seed of karmic themes that will manifest in different ways through each subsequent eclipse, influencing the soul’s evolutionary path and life journey. Understanding these karmic themes helps individuals recognize the underlying forces at play in their life, providing insights into their purpose and guiding their spiritual development.
The proposed system will undertake this important time consuming exercise as an essential part of its function.
