The next 2 weeks are a gateway for creating big changes and for manifesting new and important possibilities. During this approximate 2 week period it is critical that you focus your thoughts only on what you truly desire. The energies of this time period are ripe for enhanced manifestation.
This Lunar eclipse gateway occurs at a Full Moon when Earth is exactly between the Sun and Moon, and casts a shadow across part, or all, of the Moon. As always, to see the eclipse, you have to be in the right place on Earth. This particular eclipse is a partial, penumbral eclipse that can be seen in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Atlantic Ocean and the eastern Pacific Ocean. For those who can see it the moon will appear darker or shaded on one side. Remember, that during a Lunar Eclipse window, one may become aware of some deep emotions that need to be remembered and processed. With new understanding we can see the areas that need our attention.
And if the Leo Lunar Eclipse wasn’t enough, Comet 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajdusáková makes its closest approach to Earth at 10:30 p.m. Eastern. The greenish comet will be visible by telescope and binoculars, but not to the naked eye.
You can still watch, because the great folks at slooh.com will be web casting the eclipse and the comet. Slooh’s live feed from various locations begins at 5:30 p.m. with the lunar eclipse. Experts will weigh in with a play-by-play around 7:30 p.m. during the eclipse maximum. Join astronomers Gerard Monteux and Bob Berman to learn about this seventh-magnitude celestial object.
We are living at an incredible time when humanity is shifting in consciousness at a remarkable rate of speed. The amalgam of planetary cycles, when understood, can provide a much deeper understanding of the worlds collective experience. The pervasive and constant chaotic energy of Pluto in Capricorn squareUranus in Aries (read here), is largely responsible for our ability to see the corrution more clearly than we have ever seen before. In order to improve our circumstances here on earth, we must see what is broken.
Leo’s fire is primarily motivated by recognition and is the ruler of the heart. It is like the rich cream in the milk and seeks to raise to the top and be admired and praised. Praise is the fuel that keeps Leo energy in the forefront giving us all something to emulate. Aquarius, on the other hand is an air sign concerned with the group mind and works toward the success of all and to bless the future of mankind. The combination of these two fixed signs — that hold great power — is to provide us with hope. By combining head and heart and generating great insight and ideas, to unite and create the positive loving change the world needs at this chaotic and pivotal time in the history of humanity.
There is a powerful Grand Trine at the time of this Full Moon Eclipse. The Grand Trine is in Fire and includes the Moon in Leo, Saturnin Sagittarius, and Uranus in Aries. These aspects encourage inspiration and creative breakthroughs that may serve our spiritual, scientific and humanitarian evolution.
On a personal level, this trine supports us to take creative action, to be more innovative, to begin new projects and to commit to doing something for the common good. This is excellent energy for bringing groups of like minded people together in solidarity for just causes.

A Full Moon symbolizes the fulfillment of the seeds planted at a previous New Moon or some earlier cycle. Each Full Moon reminds us of the seeds that may be coming to maturity, to their fullness, to fruition, to the place where the fruits or gifts are received. It may seem that fulfillment of our goals takes a long time. Some intentions may manifest within the two week phase prior to the next New or Full Moon. Some however, depending on their complexity, may take a much longer time. Just remember that our thoughts and emotions set Universal Action in motion and much work takes place behind the scenes as everything is orchestrated for fulfillment. Keep visualizing your goals as though you have already attained them and they will eventually manifest. Do not concern yourself with current conditions or worry about controlling it. The universe takes care of those details. Just keep seeing what you want, and move in that direction with your actions, and give no energy to what you don’t want. Patience is required.
