#scorpio-full-moon

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth lines up between the moon and the sun. The sun's light is blocked casting a shadow on to the moon. But in some eclipses sunlight does reach the moon indirectly, daubing the moon in a sunset palette. Any light that does pass shines through our atmosphere and transforms the lunar surface into a deep, coppery red.

Earth will be positioned directly between the sun and the full moon, casting a shadow over our natural satellite. While Earth blocks some of the sun's light, stray beams will pass around and through our atmosphere, turning the moon's usually pearlescent surface red.

Welcome to February's solar eclipse, a supercharged new Moon in Aquarius that brings a moment of reset, a blank slate upon which you can write an entirely new reality. Solar eclipses always arrive as cosmic amplifiers and carry the powerful energy of new beginnings and quantum leaps in consciousness. But this upcoming eclipse on the new Moon is especially significant.

This month begins in Aquarius season, highlighting the power of individuality within the collective. However, a bold and powerful full moon in the opposite sign of Leo lights up the skies on Feb. 1, bringing everyone's authenticity and star power to the surface. It's time to take pride in who you are and let your confidence shine. Eccentric planet Uranus wraps up its retrograde two days later, making shockwaves of inspiration easier to access.

Even if it's cold, and even if you're so tired, you should still trudge out the door to meet your friends, go on the date, get to the workout class, or whatever else you have scheduled. The King of Pentacles has a reliable, steady energy, which is especially helpful if your New Year's resolutions are starting losing steam. Be kind to yourself in the days ahead, and treat others the same way. Everyone says they want a close-knit community, but you actually need to show up in order to create it.
