An important point when analyzing eclipses and their effects is to understand that, generally, places where the eclipse is visible will see more effects than places where no visibility happens. It is also important to understand that eclipses have long sprawling effects, instead of immediate ones. New Moons and Full Moons affect the weeks around them, indicating monthly trends; Solar Eclipses and Lunar Eclipses affect the months around them, indicating yearly trends. The effects discussed below are things that will tend to happen in the next 6 months.

Visibility: Most of the US, Australia and Oceania, Most of Asia, parts of Russia, parts of South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Arctic, Antarctica.

Lunar Eclipse at 18° Leo, Purva Phalguni Nakshatra

This Lunar Eclipse happens in Purva Phalguni nakshatra, a star related to relaxation, luxury, beauty and the good things in life. As a South Node (Ketu) Eclipse happening alongside Mercury retrograde, this Lunar Eclipse can deal a lot with the past. With old matters being reviewed or coming back in some way.

This Eclipse can deal a lot with news surrounding the economy, with major ups and downs happening in the weeks around it. Still, as it goes along with the energies of the previous Solar Eclipse, I believe we could see some economic improvements in the long term.

Eclipses are always a pair, so we can’t ignore the influence of the Solar Eclipse a few weeks back. A testament to that will be March 1st, when Mars will transit the exact degrees of the Solar Eclipse in Aquarius. Mars is always a strong trigger. So the first week of March can deal a lot with tensions, maybe even some kind of military conflict, coming into play.

Besides that, this Eclipse activates the past related to Leo. So issues with rulers, leaders and those in power are a possibility. But Leo also represents celebrities, and I specially believe some kind of Hollywood scandal could come up with this Eclipse. Either way, we can see past issues being unveiled in regards to celebrities, leaders and prominent people.

On a personal level, this Lunar Eclipse promotes feelings of nostalgia and joy. We crave the fun and happiness we had in the past, we want to feel as good as we felt back then. This is a great moment to reevaluate our priorities and how we might have restricted ourselves in the past.

For those with planets around 18° Leo or Aquarius, give or take 5°, this Eclipse can be an important moment of change. As those natal planets will be activated and you will feel stronger changes related to them.
