Tomorrow, June 26th, the lunar eclipse is magnified by what is termed a “Moon Illusion” that occurs when the eclipse is close to the horizon from viewing sites that includes the U.S.
The eclipse begins at 3:17 am PDT (10:17 UT) as the Moon enters the dusk-colored shadow of Earth. By 4:38 am PDT (11:38 UT), the moment of greatest eclipse, 54% of the Moon’s diameter will be covered at the ‘apex’ lasting approximately three hours.
Observers in India, Japan, and parts of East Asia, will also experience the ‘Moon Illusion’ phenomenon. They’ll see the eclipse on Saturday evening as the Moon is rising. The “Moon Illusion” will be fully active as Earth’s shadow sweeps across low-hanging lunar terrain.
Astrologically, the eclipse is in the sign Capricorn with the significant time being 7:30 AM EDT.
It is closely aligned to Pluto that has been the planet of significance since it entered Capricorn in December of 2008 triggering intense events for world leaders and governments and all major structures as the economy, banking, etc. We are not yet settled into this massive energy for turning toward restructuring and reorganizing in a productive way.
Capricorn is the opposite sign of Cancer, both being the axis of eclipses all of last year giving rise to issues of security, home and all matters of structure not just globally but on personal levels. Jobs and homes have literally been on the line.
The lunar eclipse precedes the solar eclipse next month in Cancer making the cycle already active all of June and well into the summer. Intensifying this is Mars and Saturn both in Libra later in July that I will be writing more about before then when it forms a 90 degree angle to the eclipse points.
For now, many are being prodded to make decisions and as I mentioned in this weeks column, it is time to consider what is worthwhile and worth the cost both financially and emotionally to cling to and what is best released. Certainly, where emotion is strong, that in itself should be worked on to smooth and align for greater peace of mind.

Here is a map of the eclipse path:
Wish I had the chance to see the moon like that!
It was too overcast in my area to see it so had to use my imagination.
