Annular Solar Eclipse February 6, 2027 in Aquarius: Time, Visibility & Meaning

Solar eclipse February 2027: time and phases

The annular solar eclipse is on February 6, 2027, in Aquarius. The greatest eclipse occurs at 16:00 UTC (11:00 EST in New York). The partial phases begin at 12:58 UTC and end at 19:02 UTC, while the central phase (where the ring of fire is visible) runs from 14:04 UTC to 17:55 UTC. The eclipse magnitude is 0.964, and it belongs to Saros series 131. This is a solar eclipse — the moon passes between Earth and the sun, but because the moon is slightly farther from Earth, it does not fully cover the sun, leaving a bright ring around the dark moon.

Where to see the eclipse February 2027

This eclipse is not visible from the listed cities: Moscow, Novosibirsk, Vladivostok, London, New York, Los Angeles, or Sydney. The annular path crosses parts of the southern hemisphere, including regions of South America and the Atlantic Ocean. For most viewers, it will appear as a partial eclipse if they are outside the central path. Check local visibility maps for your exact location, as even a partial eclipse of the sun requires proper eye protection to observe safely.

Eclipse 2027 in Aquarius: what it is about

The Sun and Moon are both in Aquarius at the moment of the eclipse, forming a conjunction. According to Vronsky, when the Moon transits Aquarius, people become more sensitive and nervous, subconsciously craving freedom and change. Routine work may feel difficult, while new, interesting, or unusual activities attract attention. This is a good time for scientific work, inventiveness, and new ideas, but it is important to realistically assess one’s chances and not let imagination take over.

What it may mean inside

An eclipse often acts as a symbolic moment of inner alignment — a time when the conscious (Sun) and unconscious (Moon) meet in the same sign. In Aquarius, this meeting is about individuality and connection to a larger whole. According to Jung, the truth that "shines" in us is not something we create, but something we discover within — like an image of the divine that resides in us. This eclipse may invite you to ask: What part of my life feels ready for a new cycle? Where do I need to let go of old patterns to make space for something more authentic? The retrograde backdrop of Mercury (pre-shadow from January 25) and Mars (retrograde since January 10) suggests that this is not a time for impulsive action, but for reflection and inner preparation.

How to live the eclipse season

• • Use the days around February 6 for quiet observation rather than major decisions. Eclipses can bring surprises or sudden insights, but their effects unfold over weeks.
• • If you feel restless or drawn to change, as Vronsky describes, channel that into creative projects, brainstorming, or learning something new — not into hasty life changes. Keep a journal or simply notice what feelings arise.
• • With Mercury turning retrograde on February 9, double-check communications, travel plans, and commitments. Mars retrograde until April 1 encourages patience with frustrations.
• • Avoid making permanent changes during the eclipse window. Instead, let the eclipse season be a time of inner review and gentle adjustment.
