After the clock strikes midnight and Sunday turns to Monday, there is a full moon lunar eclipse in Leo at 12:16 AM. Like any astrological event, the influence of eclipses can be felt for some time before and after: This past weekend was intensified, and the beginning of this week will be as well. During eclipses, life-changing adjustments that are outside of our control take place. With this week’s lunar eclipse, we see the ultimate fruition of the past two and a half years of life changes, as this is the dramatic finale of the series of eclipses in Leo and Aquarius. Adjustments are part of eclipses, and trying to force things to happen results in exhaustion, so take the passenger seat for now. Wait until next week to take charge. Teamwork and collaboration are encouraged now that the sun is in Aquarius, rather than self-made Capricorn. Our collective need to be appreciated and accepted by those we care about is amplified during this eclipse, so give someone a pat on the back, recognize them for their generosity and strength.
