October 28th, 4:24pm EST-Full Moon PARTIAL LUNAR ECLIPSE, 10°57’ degrees Aries, Ashwini
The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse takes place in Aries (10°57′), a sign associated with determination, leadership, and new beginnings. This suggests that significant shifts may occur in matters related to individual identity, assertiveness, and the initiation of new ventures. The eclipse occurs in Ashwini nakshatra, which is associated with healing, swiftness, and transformative actions. This implies that during this eclipse, new beginnings, breakthroughs, and transformative healing processes may be triggered.
The Moon is conjunct Jupiter retrograde, Uranus, and Rahu gandanta. The Moon’s conjunction with Jupiter retrograde intensifies the emotional and spiritual influence of this eclipse. Uranus adds a sudden and unpredictable quality to the energies, bringing unexpected changes and breakthroughs. Rahu gandanta, being a sensitive karmic spot, hints at possible deep-rooted emotional and karmic triggers occurring during this eclipse.
In opposition to the Moon, Mars is conjunct Ketu. This combination signifies a powerful dynamic energy that may bring intense transformative energies. It could potentially stir up conflicts and offer opportunities for profound change. This aspect suggests a need to examine and release old patterns, both within oneself and in one’s interactions with others.
Saturn is retrograde in Aquarius, occupying Shatabishak nakshatra. Saturn’s retrograde motion suggests a time of reflection and reconsideration of long-term goals and societal structures. The influence of Shatabishak nakshatra adds a philanthropic and humanitarian aspect, encouraging a focus on collective well-being and progressive change.
Venus is in Leo, forming a parivartana yoga with the Sun in Libra (debilitated). Venus in Leo signifies radiance, creativity, and expression of love and emotions. The parivartana yoga between Venus and the Sun enhances both creativity and self-expression. However, the Sun’s debilitated placement in Libra may bring some challenging lessons regarding self-identity and balance within relationships.
