The Lunar Eclipse of August 7, 2017


Are you ride for a wild ride? Here come the revolutionary eclipses of August. 

The first one, a lunar eclipse in Aquarius, happens at 11:10am PDT. This fierce full moon eclipse sets the stage for the solar eclipse August 21st. As with most full moons, events that have been incubating come to an end. Because we will be experiencing an Aquarian shadow with this eclipse, the intensity of anything incomplete, unfinished, and undone will be highlighted with the feeling of regret. Expect to be haunted by the past. Shadow and substance stand still as we grasp at what could have been, leading to an obsessive quality of wanting a do over. Reflecting on what has been holding us back will have value only if one does not stay stuck there. But this Aquarian moon is not asking us politely me to say goodbye and move forward. Whether we want to or not, it is a time of getting unhooked from our self-inflicted limitations by creating a new vision.

Aquarius is concerned with transformation, self-actualization, and innovation. Revelations emerging from this lunation may be shocking or surprising, but realize the intent is to wake us up to shift our dulled complacency. The biggest assets and annoyances will be generated from the mind. 

The biggest effect of this and the upcoming eclipse of August 21st is the tendency of things and people to 'eclipse out' during these powerful astrological events. Especially during the full moon eclipse, people tend to move on, disappear, or exit permanently. Grief is a part of coming to grips with the reality of loss. How one chooses to react and deal with letting go will be key.
