On Sunday January 20th, we’ll have a Super Blood Moon in the Sign of Cancer. Known as a Wolf moon, it gets its name from the Native Americans noting that during the winter wolves, usually out of hunger, would howl outside their villages.
It will also be what is known as a Super Moon or a Perigee moon. Perigee simply means nearer to the earth, therefore the Moon will seem much closer to the earth, appearing brighter and larger. At the beginning of the transit, there will also be a Total Lunar Eclipse. It will be the last total Lunar eclipse until the year
2021.
Known as a Total Penumbral Lunar Eclipse, is a type of eclipse that occurs when the moon becomes completely immersed in the penumbral, the edge of the cone of the Earth shadow, which will lend it a reddish hue. The moon won’t completely disappear as it does in an Umbral Total Eclipse, where it falls directly Earth’s Shadow. It can be seen from North and South America, Greenland, Iceland, Europe, northern and western
Africa and the Arctic regions.\
The Eclipse will begin at 7:34 pm PST or 10:34 pm. EST. Eclipses provides greater insight into the part of the consciousness of the planet being affected. Because this eclipse affects the Moon, governor of unconsciousness, your dreams and desires may be very present in your thoughts This particular eclipse, under the auspices of Cancer, may induce a measure of agitation or anxiousness, where you’ll have a urge to address matters and concerns related to your needs
