This Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is a prelude to the Total Solar Eclipse on August 21st. The partial Lunar Eclipsewill be visible in Australia, Antarctica, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, eastern South America the Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean and south Atlantic Ocean. The Total Solar Eclipse on the 21st will be visible throughout most of the United States. These are powerful times indeed. It often takes a few months for the energy of the eclipse to fully manifest (dependant on the length of the eclipse).
These Eclipses affect your individual chart as well as the global chart. But it is thought that wherever the eclipse is visible receives the most energetic realignment. So this is a very powerful 2 week period where your intentions will be extra affective. Work consciously to stay in a positive mental and emotional space. Your thoughts and emotions are very strong attractors.
Aquarius is a an air sign (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius). The element of Air is about thinking or our mental processes which carries the ability to see both sides of things and has more rational discernment capabilities. This is an important characteristic of air energy and is greatly needed now in our topsy-turvy world where it is difficult to ascertain what is truth. Depending on where Aquarian energy resides in your chart, you could be feeling the need for more freedom and also more interaction with like minded individuals.
The Leo-Aquarius axis accentuates the relationship between the individual and the collective. We are struggling with the evolution of humanity and with what our individual contribution may be. Where can you shine a light of awakening in your circle of influence?
Aquarian shadows could be revealed at the time of this eclipse: detachment from life or others, a disconnect from issues of the heart, an obsession with an idealized plan or perspective, and an avoidance of taking risks to put plans in motion. This eclipse serves as an opening to break free from old ideas and patterns of thinking, which have inhibited your forward momentum, and move toward being more comfortable taking your brilliance into the light.

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.
