Eclipsescopes!
This month's full moon is tonight (or tomorrow, depending on your time zone) and is at 13 degrees in Aquarius. It is accompanied by a lunar eclipse, and is an eclipse of humanitarian deeds and revolutionary change.
Aquarius is the sign that rules humanitarian deeds, as we have witnessed today with the release of 2 US journalists from North Korea, but Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, the revolutionary and the shocker, and co-ruled by Saturn, the planet of structure and restriction. In the US chart it rules the 8th house of finance, taxes, shared resources, and it rules the collective interests as opposed to the individual. It is associated with adverse weather conditions, airplanes, inventions, and events that come from out of the blue. To the US it will brings transformation and change.
While is not possible to know the full effects of an eclipse without looking at the entire chart, the eclipse affects us each individually depending upon the house it falls in.
