Total Lunar Eclipse Moon in Aquarius! 27 July 2018

Letting Go what needs to Go! Last half of July 2018

Feeling the influence of the New Moon in Cancer Eclipse on 12 July continuing…leading up to the Full Moon Total Eclipse in Aquarius at 4 degrees Aquarius on 27th July 2018.

Jupiter continues to trine Neptune in orb. Providing a wonderful spiritual, deeply emotional, feel good, sensitive and our intuition radar highly tuned. Miracles and dreams coming true…all could happen.

On 22nd July Venus sextiles Jupiter, then on the 25th July goes on to oppose Neptune in Pisces

Full Moon Total Eclipse at 4 Aquarius 45- this Century’s longest Lunar Eclipse: 1 hour 43 minutes

Full Moons bring culminations or endings (bad or good things!) and an Eclipse Full Moon brings some unexpected major event(s) if you have the Sun, Ascendant, Moon or a cluster of planets all affected by it. But…if you also have a Full Moon Eclipse in Aquarius you are getting a double dose of the unexpected as Aquarius is ruled by Uranus the planet of unexpected, out of the blue, lightning bolt moments. So, this Eclipse will be very powerful if it does interact with specific planets or angles, especially the Ascendant.

The Sun conjuncts the North Nodes of the Moon of our collective destiny whilst the Moon conjuncts the South Nodes and opposes the North Nodes of the Moon.

With the South Nodes and Mars retrograde involved this could be wild! Destiny steps up and takes control. Wow! It might feel like a psychedelic experience – is this really happening? Yes…it…is.

The Leo Sun opposes Mars retrograde that is conjunct the South Nodes of the Moon. This is a time of reckoning.

Uranus in Taurus trines a retrograde Saturn in Capricorn.

Mercury goes retrograde in Leo 23 degrees on 26 July 2018.

Venus at 19 degrees Virgo forms a lovely trine with Pluto retrograde in Capricorn and a wide opposition with Neptune in Pisces on 29th July. We had a Virgo eclipse here back in September 2015. Venus conjunct Mars here in October 2017.

Astronomy of end July 2018:  July 27th around 9:30 p.m. Sun Earth will be opposite Mars all lined up in the southeastern sky.  From earth the Full Blood Moon will light up the sky with Mars shining brightly at the 5 p.m. position in the sky. July 28th, Mars will be closest to earth since August 2003 on July 31 2018. Mars will be more visible at sunset by end of July 2018 and viewing 9:30 p.m. onwards will be better look up over head and you’ll see Mars.

The Delta Aquarid meteor shower occurs 27/28th July about 30 meteors per hour from the constellation of Aquarius.
