Eclipses affect us the following way: when the Sun rules the Horoscope (Leo rising), Sun eclipses are more important. When the Moon rules the horoscope (Cancer rising) Moon eclipses are more important. Unfavorable action from the eclipse occurs when the eclipse squares or opposes a planet, ascendant or Midheaven either in the Natal or Progressed chart. You can expect dramatic consequences when the eclipse activates any point in the horoscope within 2 degrees of a planet. This latest New Moon Solar Eclipse was 17 degrees Aquarius.
I always say it's wise to refrain from making difficult decisions, going on long trips or changing your hair style 3 days before or 5 days after an eclipse. Wait for the dust to settle!
Hope things improve soon.
All the best,
