We will be
experiencing the energies of a Full Blood Moon along with a Lunar eclipse on
July 27 at 4:22 p.m. EDT. (Blood Moon is
not a technical name).
As we have suggested in
the past, a Full Moon is a time to harvest, a time when we gather together the
fruits of our labors in the garden of life.
If we are well prepared and have nurtured our goals, the harvest will be
successful and abundant. If we neglected
the seeds that we planned it may be time to re-address what still needs work,
forget harvesting and either nurse the seeds back to life or start over again.
As of July 27, 2018, the
Full Moon will be in the sign of Aquarius and is at 4 degrees. The Sun is tightly conjunct the North Node
and the Moon is conjunct Mars. This can
make for an interesting combination. The
Sun is our driving force as are the energies of Mars, so this is actually a
very good time to forge ahead. The North
Node deals with our life’s path and important people who we come in contact
with that may help propel us in our intended direction.
Leo’s energies push self-confidence,
putting our best foot forward, hoping for some recognition for our efforts and
striving towards our creative potential.
With this combination, our emotional expression will be enhanced. There may be some type of objections to our plans
or people who stand in our way but in some manner, by doing so they will propel
us forward. Perhaps those that stand in
our way assist in enhancing our determination and cause us to push forward that
much harder. These individuals
unknowingly can make it clear to us that we are in control of our own destiny.
The path ahead may be
quite clear at this time and if you look to see which houses are affected by
this Full Moon in your Astrology chart, these will be the areas of life being affected
for you personally.
The Lunar eclipse will
bring up some strong energies within these areas of life indicated in your
Chart. (Most of us will be affected
emotionally in some way or another). The
energies and their influence will last in months as long as the eclipse lasts
in hours.
On July 27 we will
experience the longest lunar eclipse in the 21st century. It is estimated to last approximately 1.75
hours and will be seen in Asian, Africa and the Middle East. According to Earthsky.org, it will take
almost 4 hours from first shadow until the Moon’s light reflection is fully
returns. Even though the eclipse is not
happening overhead elsewhere in the world, the influence of the energies will
still be experienced.
To clarify, if the
eclipse lasts 1 ¾ hours, its affects will last 1 ¾ months.
Pay particular
attention to any planet especially by conjunction, square or opposition to this
placement in your Natal Astrology chart.
The energies resulting from these aspects and the houses affected will
impact this experience.
Many people fear
eclipses (whether Lunar or Solar) and although at times they can test our
resilience, they should not be feared.
Eclipses often bring needed change into our lives and propel us forward.
We will also have a
square to the Sun and the Moon by transiting Uranus which will be at 2 degrees
Taurus. Although Taurus is often about a
slow and steady approach to life matters, Uranus is about drastic change and
sudden but often important pushes in the right direction. We often get hints along the way of a new
direction, a change of attitude or something new coming our way. We have opportunities to move in this
direction now. These changes are usually
needed as we have outgrown our development in the area of life concerned and
need to reach out for something new. If
we do not make these needed changes then often Uranus will force them upon us. If we wait for Uranus to force the change, the
push can be in a much more harsh manner then if we just initiated the change on
our own.
This should be an
impactful experience for anyone with planets or angles connected to the 4 degree
mark in their charts. For those with
little influence from the natal chart, the whole experience may pass with
little noticed events but pay attention to your emotions and emotional
responses.
The more planetary
energies involved and angles taking part, the stronger the potential for
changes in your life. Do not become
overly concerned as to whether this is a challenging experience or not. All change is beneficial and the less we
fight, the easier the transition. Some
of us will welcome change with open arms and this will be a great
experience. If you are affected by these
events then the changes put in place are the requirements of the soul’s
development.
The Moon in the sign
of Aquarius suggests that these changes that are at hand may concern groups of
people that are of like mind. Aquarius
wants to propel forward needed changes that not only affect themselves but also
enhances others to push for needed change.
Aquarius has humanities concerns in mind and the purpose is to help
others help themselves out of stagnation or complacency. Generally, people can become stuck in habitual
patterns and do not recognize that they are keeping their self from
advancing.
The Moon in Aquarius
may want us to make personal changes to our life’s direction, but will also
push us to help others that may need outside assistance. Since this is a time when we can push forward
and attempt to reach personal goals, we may want this for others as well.
Will you recognize the
benefits of this influence immediately or will it take time for you to recognize
that the energies of this Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse are just what the proverbial
doctor ordered?
