Good afternoon dear Ones,

In a few hours, at 12:13 EST Friday, August 28, our beautiful planet will experience a powerful lunar eclipse.

This closing / opening door marks the end of the “eclipse corridor” that started with the solar eclipse of August 12.

What happens in a corridor and how does it feel? Is it an inviting place to be in? Or does it feel dark and sluggish?

Perhaps you experienced some of this, as well as other symptoms?

Everyone may have different answers, yet a corridor may also be associated with a womb. Hence my question,

What will emerge out of this nocturnal womb for North & South America, knowing a good part of the earth will be running high in daylight?

An emergence implies a coming out of some place or phase, perhaps a new beginning…

I am sharing a good portion of Pam Younghans’ last newsletter. She calls this phenomenon a “throw-back eclipse.” Quite an interesting way to approach it.

Topic: What will emerge out of the night?

ALMOST-TOTAL ECLIPSE: A “deep partial” Lunar Eclipse occurs this week, at which time 96% of the lunar surface will be darkened as the Earth moves into position and blocks solar light from reaching the Moon. This almost-total eclipse will last more than three hours and will peak at 9:13 p.m. PDT on Thursday, August 27 (0414 UT August 28). 

The almost-eclipsed Moon will be visible to more a billion people across North and South America, Europe, Africa and the Middle East, provided the skies are clear. More than three billion people—44% of the world’s population—will be in position to view at least part of the event.

THROW-BACK ECLIPSE: Astrologically, eclipses happen when a lunation occurs within 17 degrees of the lunar North or South Node. Of course, the Moon’s nodes just changed signs, moving from Pisces/Virgo into Aquarius/Leo—so it might be surprising to now have an eclipse in Pisces. This is possible because the North Node is in the very last degree of Aquarius (29°50′), less than five degrees away from the eclipsed Moon in early Pisces (04°54′).

In essence, we can call this a “throw-back” eclipse, since it refers back to the eclipse series that is ending. In some way, we will be revisiting issues that we’ve been navigating since the first Pisces eclipse of this series occurred in September 2024. Themes related to the Pisces-Virgo polarity include:

• Moving from fault-finding and blame into nonjudgment, compassion, and forgiveness; 
• Transcending worry, nervousness, and fear by surrendering anxiety to a higher aspect of self;
• Releasing a need to control by building deeper levels of faith and trust; and
• Letting go of needing to perfect every detail before accepting and allowing change.

It appears that humanity will be working with these themes one more time before we fully move into the Aquarius/Leo eclipse series; a final retrospective eclipse will occur six months from now—a Virgo Lunar Eclipse on February 20, 2027.

THE URANUS INFLUENCE: Astrologers consider eclipses to be “Uranian” in nature, since they often coincide with the types of unexpected events and sudden changes that we associate with the sideways-spinning planet. With the Sun and Moon tightly square Uranus in Gemini at the time of this week’s Lunar Eclipse, that Uranian influence will be even more emphasized. 

Surprising news, changes of perspective, radical ideas, life-changing insights, and even spiritual awakenings are all possible with the Lunar Eclipse. Mercury is strongly involved in the eclipse energies, being within one degree of the Sun, so we may experience information overload or perhaps be confused about what is “real.” 

Nervous energy is likely to be very high, so please take good care of yourself by reducing overstimulation, getting good mental rest, and taking nutritional supplements that support nervous system health. These might include adaptogens such as ashwagandha, the B-complex vitamins, or minerals such as magnesium, potassium, calcium, and zinc.
