As the Earth partially casts a shadow on the Moon reaching its culmination point by blocking some of the Sun’s light, we may see terrestrial events on Earth ‘blocking’ a leader from ‘meeting’ in full view with the people. We may see certain choices, intentions, and decisions being slightly shadowed by certain events. Terrestrial events are casting a ‘shadow’ on people (the public), populations, especially women, smooth continuity of daily life, habits, and routines, and the natural expected course of living beings. A disruption in the natural course of our life plan is indicated by all eclipses. These are various potential manifestations. Lunar eclipses are indicating important completions or emotional events, with a kind of momentum or something that may be more intense than usual. We may have revelations of important information or about people’s characteristics. They do not need to be dramatic necessarily; we may voluntarily decide to ‘eclipse’ something or some situation from our lives. And all full moons are indicating something about relationships. Thus Lunar Eclipses contain an element of disruption or need for change that may have more of a long-term effect or consequence, like the closure of a chapter of life or endeavour, that has already started and may take some time to complete. Sometimes they can be intense, or they can cause uncertainty, or they could be of a corrective, releasing, liberating, revealing or cathartic nature, as some new information or event manifests.

In this particular Lunar Eclipse at 25-26 degrees Pisces (Saros 118) ruled by Jupiter in Gemini, there is a need to complete or clarify situations, and information or knowledge, and situations that remain pending. The emphasis on closure is emphasized by the late degrees, the sign of Pisces, and may refer to legal matters, legal procedures, legal agreements, higher knowledge, educational endeavors, religious matters, foreign trade, travel, and movement, publicity and publications, gaining more understanding about subjects of interest, ethical issues, and generally anything that falls in the area of significations of Jupiter, and also perhaps hidden things, or matters to do with areas of knowledge we can’t quite grasp or they are abstract. Jupiter is in Gemini, and the ruler of Gemini, Mercury is in Virgo applying to an opposition to Saturn in Pisces. This opposition has either a limiting or controling effect on procedures in general, or a need to manage problems or organise information, applying skills in effective ways with another.

The Moon’s last aspect before it joins Neptune and leaves the sign of Pisces is a sextile to Pluto at 29 degrees Capricorn 46’ (Rx), and it points to some kind of return to groups, joint finances, or other’s resources that are pending from the past. It points to using information and intuition to improve or heal matters, a need to delve deeper into research of specialized areas, and generally to eliminate or engage with complexities in a positive manner.
