Meg Benedicte – We’ve now entered the Eclipse corridor and the second eclipse arrives on Friday, July 27th. It is a Blood Red Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 4° Aquarius. This is the longest ‘total’ Lunar Eclipse this century, lasting 1 hour and 23 minutes. Just hours before the eclipse, Mercury turns retrograde in Leo on July 26th.
During the Leo/Aquarius eclipse series on the North/South Nodes, society has been dealing with issues of ego-will distortions and karmic resolutions. While Mercury retrogrades in Leo there will be more emphasis on independence, inner authority, personal empowerment and protecting boundaries. Each astrology sign reflects a certain life motto or core strength. The Leo motto is ‘I will’ and the Aquarius motto is ‘I know’.
