Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius 26 May




Tomorrow’s lunar eclipse falls at 4:13 am PT, at 5° 25’ Sagittarius. A lunar eclipse is a Full Moon that falls near one of the Moon's nodes. The nodes are hypothetical points where the Moon descends (south node) or ascends (north node) the ecliptic (the imaginary path of the sun around the earth). An eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, preventing the Moon from reflecting the Sun’s light. The thing to remember with eclipses is this: they are harbingers of change and if you're consciously manifesting or practicing magick you don't want to work with this energy because the energy is unpredictable (and our life-giving luminaries are compromised).


This lunar eclipse occurs close to the South Node in Sagittarius. The South Node, also referred to as the Dragon’s tail (Ketu) is associated with patterns of familiarity or comfort. With an eclipse on the South Node in the sign of knowledge, wisdom and philosophy there’s a good chance we’re all processing new information that is challenging old beliefs and removing previous conditions or patterns. While this is transformative energy it’s worth remembering that the mutable T-square created by the Moon in Sagittarius to Jupiter in Pisces opposing the Sun in Gemini indicates tension and resistance.


You are probably grappling with a new piece of information or fresh insight that has turned your world upside down or is forcing you to have a “rethink” about how you’ve lived your life until now or you have learned something unexpected about someone/ or a group.


However, as I mentioned in my Mercury retrograde post, not everything we hear at this time is true or based on facts thanks to Mercury in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces. Be very discerning about who you give your attention to and don’t believe everything you hear or read.


Closer to home, there is a good chance you are being deliberately misled. Do not give way to flattery and charm and practice vigilance. Pay close attention to what people do and not what they say.


Actions speak louder than words.


Look to the house in your birth chart where Sagittarius sits for clues on what's coming up.
