Symbols / An eclipse
A reading for meaning, not prophecy
An eclipse is read as a light obscured — in the East heaven's light hidden (日食), in the West a temporary loss of consciousness or hope, in Ibn Sirin's tradition a great sign and a passing trial.

Three readings
In the Jungian reading the eclipse is a temporary loss of the light — consciousness, hope, or a guiding figure blocked out for a time, the shadow passing across the sun or moon of the psyche. It marks a dark interval that is not permanent, and asks what has been eclipsed in you, and what casts the shadow.
Jungian dream interpretation, explained →周公解梦 reads an eclipse (日食) as heaven's light obscured — a powerful omen of something great briefly hidden: authority, fortune, or clarity dimmed for a time. The tradition treats it with awe, a sign to pay attention, and reads the returning light as the trial passing.
Chinese dream interpretation (周公解梦), explained →Ibn Sirin read the eclipse of sun or moon as a great sign — a fear, a warning, or a trial touching a person of high standing, soon to pass as the light returns. Framed as meaning: what light in your life feels temporarily hidden, and what is passing across it?

Read as a light obscured — something great briefly hidden: authority, clarity, or hope dimmed for a time. Across traditions it is treated with awe, a sign to pay attention, and the returning light as the trial passing.
Often read as a powerful, temporary darkening — a guiding light or a source of clarity blocked out for a while. It marks an interval, not a permanent loss, and asks what has been eclipsed in you.
Ibn Sirin read the eclipse as a great sign — a fear, warning, or trial touching a person of high standing, soon to pass as the light returns. Spiritually it is the shadow crossing the light of the psyche, temporarily.
This is the general reading. Your dream is specific.
