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: Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, West in North America, East in South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Arctic, Antarctica.

Lunar Eclipse at 21° Aquarius, Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra

This Lunar Eclipse happens in Purva Bhadrapada nakshatra, a fierce nakshatra with strong meanings, related to radical or extreme views, as well as some violent or shocking trends. The star also deals with duplicity, leading double lives, or hiding something.

The Eclipse happens with a trine to Jupiter, which promotes some sense of luck and expansion. But the main aspect of the chart is an almost exact quincunx to Venus, which promotes disagreements and possible issues of disharmony.

All things considered, I believe this Eclipse could deal with twists and turns in regards to the Ukraine-Russia situation. The Eclipse will be visible in the region, and a deal is being made, so the Venus influence of this Eclipse could promote turmoil or surprises.

The Eclipse will be visible in Europe as a whole, so changes or events in the continent are likely too.

In other areas of the world, this Eclipse will tend to promote betrayals. People walking away on formerly made agreements, walking out on former allies and looking out for new and better pastures. I’m not privy to the politics of all the countries in the world, but I believe the months ahead will be a strong time for betrayal.

Similarly, any deal being made now (late August and early September) is bound for change and possible betrayals, as people will have duplicitous intentions.

The days around the Eclipse, specially the 6th, can deal with chaotic and shocking events.

On a personal level, this Eclipse is very emotionally charging, P.Bhadrapada deals a lot with the dichotomy between light and darkness. As first comes the storm, the days around this Lunar Eclipse aren’t particularly happy, as we deal with darkness and thunder. But afterwards, we will learn important information that can lead us towards great improvement.
