A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth comes between the Sun and Moon, and the full Moon passes through Earth’s shadow. Pisces supplies the symbolic theme here: sensitivity, imagination and the limits of what one person can carry.

Separate what you feel from what you know before deciding what a situation means. You can acknowledge a change without having its whole explanation. The eclipse does not require an immediate decision or predict a personal outcome.

Questions to carry

  • What in your life needs acknowledgment before it needs a definite answer?
  • Where would a clearer boundary leave you more able to help?

Instants and positions come from the site's astronomy engine and its committed yearly and monthly sky catalogs, the same data behind the Almanac and the daily horoscopes. Times are universal time; in the Americas an instant can fall the evening before the date printed. Sign-by-sign notes, where present, use whole-sign solar houses. The readings are a tradition being applied, not a forecast. The methodology page sets out both halves.
