A partial lunar eclipse will take place and the night between July 16th and July 17th, and will be visible from Australia, Africa, South America, most of Europe, and Asia. The time to watch it is between 20:00 and 23:00 UTC (Greenwich time). It’s peak will occur at 21:30 UTC, with half of the moon covered by earth’s shadow.
The Sun and the Moon are two major forces, opposing yet complimentary. They symbolize the conscious and subconscious, the adult and the child, the logic and the dream, the Ying and Yang and much more.
And between these two oppositions – there’s Earth.
The Sun is the transmitter, the Moon is the receiver, and Earth, our beautiful blue planet, is the conductor. Earth processes these two opposing powers, the electro-magnetic power of the dance between the Sun and the Moon, and the result of it is all the life upon it.
The alignments between these three great bodies (the Sun, the Moon and Earth) are known years in advance and appear in the personal astrological chart as the True and South Nodes – known in many cultures as the Dragon’s Head and the Dragon’s Tail.
During the Moon’s eclipse, Earth – the great conductor – is right between the conscious part of our lives (the Sun) and the subconscious part of our life, creating a separation between these two parts. This is also a separation between logic and intuition, past and future, the inner child and the inner adult and so on.
The Lunar eclipse is a time to detach from our history, from our old prints, from our fears, mistakes and the paths that do not serve us anymore.
The lunar eclipse will also end the current “eclipse season” which started with the solar eclipse of July 2nd.
