Far Removed — Gemini Lunar Eclipse

The Gemini Moon opposes the Sagittarius Sun at 9:46 am EDT tomorrow, a Full Moon. This particular Full Moon will also be a lunar eclipse. The Gemini lunar eclipse will close a two-week cycle that opened with the Scorpio New Moon and solar eclipse of November 13. When the eclipse cycle closes tomorrow, you will, on some level of meaning, find yourself someplace far removed from where it started. That place will be nothing less than where you intersect with the universe right now.

The end of an eclipse cycle often finds you figuratively, and sometimes literally, farther traveled through events or space than would normally happen in two weeks. That’s because eclipses take place when two-week cycles intersect with cycles of six months and 19 years.

A Full Moon takes place about two weeks after every New Moon. Luna looks full when Earth is positioned like an audience seated in a movie theater, with the Sun as projector and the Moon as screen. Most Full Moons are not lunar eclipses. When a lunar eclipse takes place, it is because Earth is positioned like somebody standing up in front of a movie projector, casting a shadow on the Moon.

A lunar eclipse is typically paired with a solar eclipse either two weeks before or two weeks after. A solar eclipse finds the Moon in front of the Sun, casting its shadow on the Earth at the time of a New Moon, but not every New Moon. In order to block the Sun’s light from each other, the Moon and Earth have to be in the same two-dimensional plane at just the right time. That’s where the lunar nodes come in.
