Also referred to as a Blue Moon, as in once in a blue moon... meaning a Full Moon twice in one month, or a Blood Moon, because of the reddish appearance of the Moon as Luna passes through the Earth's shadow.. And yes, it's a Super Moon, meaning it's at perigee or closest to the Earth, so we know the affect of the Full Moon is even stronger, tides are higher and emotions are deeper. The Eclipse happening now is like the icing on the cake, just topping it all off and highlighting what there is to be seen or felt.
This Full Moon takes place at 8:27am EST in the 12th degree of the Fixed Fire sign Leo. With the Sun opposite in Aquarius, Fixed Air, what is illuminated is how well we're doing bringing our talents and creativity out to connect with the larger group, our community. The buildup from New Moon to Full can bring fulfillment if efforts have been positively directed, but if negativity has ensued, then worry and confusion can prevail. Is it time to let go of the shackles of the past and move toward your goals?
Leo's influence is wanting to enjoy life, to love and be loved, to freely express one's talents in a bold way that encourages others. The warmth of this strong sign is greatly enhanced at the Full Moon, causing people to seek recognition, romance or affection, sometimes in very dramatic ways. As the Moon aspects Venus later in the day, the need for give and take is highlighted so that your needs and the needs of others don't become a challenge. Expressing one's passion for a person, a project or a belief is all well and good, as long as the ego isn't in the drivers seat.
The Sun in Aquarius is the polarity to Luna in Leo and reminds us of our connections to others. Be sociable, get out there and meet new people and remember at all times to let your own light shine. Instead of comparing yourself to another, you could try to identify similar needs or goals, never losing sight of your individual intentions. Each person is on their own path and our paths will always cross. As you express more clearly who you are and what you want, don't lose sight of your own path.
Having the added influence of a Lunar Eclipse can bring greater insight or revelations that have a profound affect on an individual. It would be wise to carve out some alone time, going inward in meditation or thought for a brief look at your intentions before expressing your innermost desires to the outer world. You can still share your goals, once clear of what steps to take for yourself, as long as you are keeping your expectations in check. The influence of an eclipse has a way of working itself out over the weeks and months to come and effects can be felt for a long time.
Remember to keep your head in the stars and your feet on the earth~
