Lunar Eclipse at 01° Pisces, Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra

An important point when analyzing eclipses and their effects is to understand that, generally, places where the eclipse is visible will see more effects than places where no visibility happens. It is also important to understand that eclipses have long sprawling effects, instead of immediate ones. New Moons and Full Moons affect the weeks around them, indicating monthly trends; Solar Eclipses and Lunar Eclipses affect the months around them, indicating yearly trends. The effects discussed below are things that will tend to happen in the next 6 months.

This Eclipse happens in the nakshatra of Purva Bhadrapada, a fierce nakshatra with strong meanings, related to radical or extreme views, as well as some violent or shocking trends. The star also deals with duplicity, leading double lives, or hiding something.

The Eclipse happens conjunct Neptune, the planet of illusions, so the meaning of duplicity will really tend to come alive now. Deception, confusion and overall uncertainty are strong trends right now.

Also in the chart, we have Mars sitting almost in an exact square to the Lunar Nodes. The fiery influence of Mars, combined with the already hectic energies of the Eclipse tend to indicate violence. Some of the violence we’ve seen recently in the world, in July and August, can be seen as an expression of this. I went over some past examples on my September predictions. But overall, the weeks around this Lunar Eclipse can be times of protests, exacerbated speech and conflict. Gang violence or increased crime is also a possibility.

Some environmental issues can come forward with this Eclipse. Specially in regards to fires and forest preservation.

Uncovering of ignored, or hidden, issues can spark anger now. Ugly secrets, ugly truths, taboos and things thrown under the rug coming out are a strong trend with this Lunar Eclipse.


On a personal level, this Eclipse tends to spark a desire to break free, to escape limitations and go towards the unusual or unexplored. It is a time of innovation and liberation, where we can venture into new ground and build our future.
