A blue moon is the second Full Moon
experienced within a single calendar month.
From the expression “Once in a blue moon”, it is obvious that it does
not occur very frequently. It actually
happens once in every 2.7 years. This
morning, January 31, 2018, was the peak of the full Leo Moon.
With this blue moon, we also experienced a
Lunar Eclipse. The Leo Full Moon was at
11 degrees 37 minutes. Lunar Eclipses
are powerful energies and force us to pay attention to the areas of life that
are being highlighted through the energies of the house it is found in within
our personal Astrology chart. Eclipse’s energies
are asking for change and its apparent path often can cause our emotions to
flair.
The Moon in Leo is rather dynamic in its
expression and may push us to be more outspoken than normal and somewhat
fearless especially when connected to family and relationships of
significance. We may find it hard to
keep our mouths shut when facing adversity.
We can be somewhat outspoken when it comes to expressing our attitude
towards those that may need our help or advice.
We may have a tough love approach although
because of the close conjunction with Ceres, there is a strong need to nurture
and take care of anyone that needs our help.
The Moon and Ceres are similar in these energies, and Leo may be a
little too controlling although anything offered by Leo this will come from the
heart.
As this is a Full Moon, the Sun and Moon
are in opposition to each other. At times
there can be a challenge between what we do in our working environment and how
we balance and provide nurturing within the framework of our family. There is a pull in both directions and often
one lacks because of the focus we have on the other. We will want to do our best within both areas
of life, but one demands more of our time although both need our attention.
This is also the time to harvest what we
sowed during the New Moon in Leo some 6 months ago. If we began a project or focus under the
influence of the Leo New Moon, this may be the time when we review our “garden’s
growth” from that planting period and finalize the harvest. Alternatively, if we have fallen short in nurturing
the plants of our plans, now may be the time to either tend your goals needs or
till the soil and start over. Sometimes
we just need to cut our losses and walk away.
Eclipses can be known as the bearer of news
of importance. This can touch many areas
of life. Again, as mentioned, we need to
look at the house the eclipse occurs in within our personal Astrology chart. If it is transiting the 7th or 5th
house it would speak in terms of relationships, in the 6th or 10th
house in terms of work, the home, and family if in the 4th , health if in the 6 or 12 or if connection to
our ascendant (rising sign). If in the
sixth, it may also speak of dedication to service, pets, health and
hygiene. If it is the twelfth, it may
also speak of places of confinement such as hospitals, jails and hidden matters
as well as mystical unfolding. The
finances may be affected if the 2nd or 8th houses are
involved. One thing is for sure, the
energies of an eclipse are to push us towards our goals and often create a turning
point in our lives.
A further effect on these energies would
come from other planets within orb (up to 5 degrees) aspecting this
position. You can expect challenging
conditions if Mars, Saturn and sometimes Uranus and Pluto are involved. You can expect things to work in your favour
if the Sun, Jupiter and Venus are aspecting this placement. Remember these planets and important angles (Ascendant,
Descendant, Midheaven and Imum Coeli) are natal positions and not transits,
although transit can also have an effect.
The transits can have an effect but it must be linked to the natal
potential before their influence has much affect.
Enjoy the energies!
