Lunar Eclipse
|
This is a
Full Moon that is so precisely aligned that the
Moon
passes through the Earth's shadow cast by the
Sun's
light. This typically happens twice a year, about 5-6 months apart. Seen at night time from the Earth, the Moon
grows dark as it passes through Earth's shadow, and then slowly returns to its normal white colour. It's okay to
look at a lunar eclipse (but never
look at a
solar eclipse). A lunar eclipse typically happens twice a year, about 5-6 months apart.
Astrologically, Lunar eclipses are very powerful energy, similar to a
Full Moon
but more intense. A lunar eclipse will often bring long-term processes of growth to fruition, which may or may not
be an easy experience. See also: Solar Eclipse; there is also more information about
eclipses
How long does an eclipse's energy last? Well, it depends...

page. Read more in-depth information about Eclipses in our dictionary.

Lunar Nodes
|
There are two
lunar nodes — the North Node and South Node.
These mark the intersection between the Moon's path around the
Earth
and the Sun's path through the
zodiac (from Earth's viewpoint). When a New Moon or
Full Moon takes place close to the Nodes, this is known as a
Solar Eclipse and Lunar Eclipse, respectively. Although the
Nodes are not physical objects, they are sensitive points in the chart.
The North Node
symbolises your "forward motion" point in life, what your overall life lesson is, and some believe it shows your
destiny. The South Node shows your "pushing off point" in life, where you've been and what you need to let go of.
