Occultation
For Occultation we have a term and definition in Astrology.
Occultation (Astrology) 
Planets occasionally obscure other planets or stars temporarily. The Moon, transiting a variable orbit, does so frequently. The phenomenon is termed occultation to distinguish it from eclipses. An occultation is equal to a powerful total or partile conjunction. [To be actually partile, these bodies should at the time have the same latitude and longitude.]
