The Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio - Things are Getting Deep!

This will be a penumbra eclipse, meaning that the Moon will pass deep into the outer part of Earth’s shadow. The Moon will just miss the darker, inner part of Earth’s shadow, the umbra, making this the deepest penumbral eclipse we will experience until September of 2042! This eclipse will not be visible in North or South America, but will be for those living in parts of Asia, Russia, Africa, India, the Middle East, Australia and Europe.

This Eclipse will occur at 14° and 58 minutes (almost 15°) of Scorpio at 10:34 am PST / 1:34 pm EST and it will be most impactful for those with planets and major angles between 13° — 17° of Fixed and Water signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, Cancer, and Pisces.
