Lunar eclipses and their influence on emotions have to do with the link of this satellite with the Sun, which means that the moon brings with it a series of sensations, attitudes and behaviour of living beings from their feminine side, dependence and submission of the emotional aspect of living beings, as well as the emotional needs and attachments that limit personal growth and emotional, mental and physical stability.
In this sense, lunar eclipses hide the emotional side for a moment, making everything somewhat dark and unimportant in order to bring out identity and the sense of the “self”. At the time of lunar eclipses some people will feel calm and balanced, while others will feel very anxious and as if they were on a roller coaster of changing and tense emotions.
It is believed that the cosmic vibrations emanating from the eclipses of full moon are more powerful than when the moon is in other phases. In astrology, eclipses are said to be the most electric and mystical moments of the year, since the moon goes through each of its phases in a short space of time. Therefore, in the lunar eclipse of July 27 we can expect the lunar energy to overload in its most intense form.
During the eclipses of full moon such as the one that occurred on July 27, 2018, lunar cycles are experienced of only 104 minutes during the month. On earth between one to four lunar eclipses occur every year, and when they are total during full moon, the earth casts a shadow on the moon.
The lunar eclipse that occurred on July 27, 2018 lasted 1 hour and 43 minutes, a value close to the theoretical maximum of 1 hour and 47 minutes. When the earth casts a shadow on the moon during the eclipses of the moon, it blocks direct sunlight; however, the moon keeps a faint glow in an orange-red tone which is usually called blood moon. This phenomenon is called Rayleigh dispersion, which is carried out as sunlight passes through the atmosphere of the earth, hitting with different types of gases and particles.
This way, glows with blue and violet tones corresponding to the shorter wavelengths originate, which are dispersed more than those in red and orange corresponding to the longer wavelengths, which was observed in the total lunar eclipse that occurred in 2018.
Subsequently, on July 16, 2019 there was a partial eclipse of the moon, which began at 10 pm and lasted approximately until 1 am. From the astrological point of view it is said that this eclipse brought with it closures of cycles and culminations, affecting not only the people of Cancer, Capricorn and Sagittarius signs, but also all mankind because it directly affects thoughts and emotions globally.
On the other hand, these eclipses of the moon bring with them feminine forces, and their effects will be felt for about six months, as well as it is considered to be somewhat complicated since the new moon that began in Capricorn will create the tendency to fulfil responsibilities, activating justice mechanisms.
Likewise, this partial eclipse of July 16, 2019, has Sagittarius as an ascendant with a new moon formed six months before in its permanence in Capricorn sign, which manifests the need to succeed, work and achieve professional success, indicating how far we go to achieve objectives as maximized characteristics of this earth sign, but its correspondence with the other signs of this element, such as Virgo and Taurus, must also be considered.
When the eclipse was formed, Sagittarius remained as the ascendant, which had Jupiter retrograde, which means that its energies must be worked on, aspects such as the search for truth, beliefs, abroad, justice at the level of magistrates, which will have a significant impact on political trends and the prevalence of teachers to transmit teachings.
The message from Jupiter retrograde in Sagittarius during the eclipses of the moon has to do with the beliefs and philosophies of life; we must be careful with Jupiter retrograde since it magnifies its powers during these eclipses, and a negatively aspected Jupiter does not accept others’ opinions, the polarization of ideas prevails, people fall into extremes such as racism, etc. But, if we tend to look positive, people can achieve transcendental changes at a maximum point of enlightenment, a point of good omen where it is possible to renew the search for truth.
For its part, the Sun will remain in Cancer and in Capricorn, very important planets representing professional success, the need to reach the top by studying the structures of our lives and karma, all those responsibilities for life that are not negotiable, and to analyse the maximum power that can be captured.
In this way, Saturn in Capricorn makes it extremely empowered, so its virtues and defects will be maximized; they are the only entities of the zodiac that do not have emotions, they represent karma and structures, judgments to humanity appear for the fulfilment of tasks and responsibilities.
During these eclipses of the moon, Saturn will reward the winner, but if we lose, it will punish with greater evidence. Let’s remember that Saturn is the god of karma, also called the God Chrono, the God of time, and additionally it is Pluto, the God of transformations, which rules everything that must die, it is a death that gives rise to transcendental changes; periods of leadership, governments, ideologies die.
