Aquarius Total Lunar Eclipse Full moon July 27 2018

This next Lunar eclipse in Aquarius at 4 degrees 44 minutes is going to be very strong energy! The eclipse is exact at 1:20 pm PDT so won't be visible in the United States but will strongly be felt globally. This will be one of the longest lasting lunar eclipses in this century symbolically offering a long building culmination/ending with fated changes.

 If your sun or other planets are at the first 6 degrees of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius then this is going to pack a punch with a strong possibility of life changing events over the next few week thru the next 6 months. However, this is still a fated time for many people even without those personal placements. Find Aquarius and Leo in your chart, that's the area of life getting hit, plus Scorpio and Taurus as well.

The shadow of society is exposed

Full moons are a peak of intensity and emotional energy. When that full moon is eclipse that intensity and emotional energy is amplified and more extreme. The light of the sun reflected off the moon is filtered through the earth's shadow. Aquarius has a lot to do with the community, so in this case the shadow of society and communities/politics will be reflected off the moon.

Eclipse aligned with Mars Rx

This eclipse is strongly aligned with Mars Retrograde, and so this means Mars is extra strong as well, closer to the earth than normal but not acting in a symbolically predictable fashion. At the same time, Uranus is at a right angle to Mars, sun and moon/Nodes T-square adding even more dynamic unusual unexpected energy to this shadow being exposed.



There is both positive and negative meaning to this eclipse. First let me get the negative out of the way before i explain the good part.

Negative possibilities 

The fact this eclipse is Aquarius with Mars and the South Node under stress and tension from Uranus and the sun indicates this is not the time to go out on the town and party. It's better to stay indoors and not celebrate under the moon with the earth shadow. It's best to avoid looking at the moon, going to public gatherings, social activity, groups of people and unnecessary travel Friday/Saturday July 27/28. Provoking people in argument can also have unexpected emotional reactions. Some probabilities under this eclipse are weird feelings and emotions, odd circumstances, people freaking out, intensity, agitation, rage and anger, mass shootings, road rage, accidents of all kinds, including group travel from Air, trains, buses, cars, etc, plus other accidents from sharp objects, not paying attention to what you're doing, and so on. Political energy will be at critical level, and it's possible political events could get out of control. Military strikes and other intense situations could manifest from this within a few weeks of the eclipse, but accidents and anger are the biggest possibilities of the negative side, not to mention the continuation of earth changing events, destructive wildfires, etc.

Avoid conflict, let go of the need to control others

If you find yourself in confrontation, it's best to let it go because pushing back can have unexpected consequences with fated results.

Endings, letting go of the past

On other levels, your actions, the need for control, old habits, confront zones, past issues, old patterns, deep resentment, anger, etc etc might need to be released as you find new ways of expressing yourself and doing things. Some relationships including friendships, group affiliations, community and organizations your involved with might be ready for endings, as you feel the pull to move on.

Life at a crossroads, fate is at play

This eclipse is showing great change is on the horizon and not everything will be in your control. A lot of people are at crossroads this summer and the events of this eclipse will force some people to make the changes that they were unable to make on their own until now.

The positive possibilities - New opportunities 

On the positive side of interpretation, the sun is moving over the North Node in Leo. This is a call to move towards your Leo area of life, a possible unknown direction outside of your comfort zone, now that a culmination and ending of the old is present. People are being called to follow their heart and a new direction in life that will give more passion, creativity, and joy for being alive, while releasing the past and what's no longer needed. New opportunities will start to show up showing the way forward but will also create emotional intensity and anxiety about having the courage to take that step into the new and unknown, or what seems difficult rather than falling back into old ways.

Mercury Retrograde 

These new opportunities will start to show up but at the same time Mercury in Leo starts to go retrograde, which means this new direction forward is a process that needs to unfold over the next few weeks from the eclipse, before all the information about it has arrived. Once the sun moves across Mercury and then we have the final solar eclipse in Leo Aug 11 we'll start to have a good idea of what this new direction is all about and how to proceed. Many long lasting changes will be evident to everyone by this fall. Until then all this is a process which Mercury Rx is part of. If any crazy stuff happens next several weeks it's not because Mercury is retrograde but rather because we are having a super intense eclipse with Mars in Aquarius!

Karmic Adjustments

The sun/North Node will be inconj Saturn indicating the events will require people to make adjustments to their past and current commitments and responsibilities, adapting to change and letting go.

Saturn trine Uranus - the old and new in harmony

The ruler of this eclipse is Saturn Rx in Cap and Uranus in Taurus which are both trine. This shows that the old and the new are in harmony allowing for radical change and innovation to values, structures and systems without total chaos or destruction, but rather a certain level of support and stability while changes take place and you do something new. Reality supports practical level headed changes to your life.

Venus trine Pluto - desire to transform the old and make improvements

Venus in Virgo is trine Pluto in Cap showing that there's a real deep desire for transformation and to make practical improvements to your relationships, routines, systems, structures, habits, health, values, money, diet, and so on, plus the area of life (house) that you have Virgo. There will be outlet to make those needed practical improvements.

As i said, this eclipse is so karmic and fated with a release of the old shadows that are ready to over flow. This is a completion point to something where more balance and harmony can start to be integrated. Unfortunately there will be negative events for some people, or at least what seem to be negative from the limited human perspective, but those events have higher meaning and positive ripple effects with long lasting results that we can't see in the moment. Trust that you are part of a higher plan, let go and flow the best you can with the energy pushing you forward.
