“In the expansion of his joy, the Moon continued to fill the whole room with a phosphorescent atmosphere, with a luminous poison …” It will not be as Baudelaire wrote, the Moon will soon be veiled, the cone of shadow will make it eclipse , here’s what will happen to us.

Eclipse of the Moon: what the stars say …
We are at the lunar eclipse , the last one of 2012. From Italy it will be partially visible, even if it will be less spectacular than the solar one of November 13th, while it will be seen well from almost all of Asia and Australia. It will last about four and a half hours.
But let’s get to the energy point : what will happen astrologically? Let’s start with the etymology of the word eclipse. It is a term of Greek origin, ékleipsis , which properly means “abandonment”, “lack” . Abandonment of what? We will find out together.
Eclipses are phenomena considered by astrology since the most remote times, when ancient peoples feared them as dark omens, and, in general, they can represent important changes and turning points in life .
Eclipses are indicative of growth or evolution and despite their short duration as a celestial phenomenon, they can have an effect capable of conditioning events for a few months later than when they occurred.
More specifically, the solar eclipse represents the beginning of a new chapter of our life while that of one marks the end, the closure, the abandonment of the past precisely. An eclipse is therefore a very strong moment for our unconscious.
The stars say that this phenomenon can surprise us, opening a new path and directing us towards a path that is only apparently tortuous.
The influence of an eclipse is very strong for those whose birthday is close to when it occurs. However, we are all sensitive to its influence and its energy will push us to some change, to some choice to make, within the astrological house where it appears.
… and what atrologists think
As one of the most famous astrologers Dane Rudhyar stated , in his writings “The Astrological Houses” and “The Astrology of Personality”, when you have an eclipse of the Moon it is the past that is questioned, almost as if be turned away, forgotten . While the eclipse of the Sun has to do with power, the eclipse of the Moon has to do with emotions.
The eclipse this time will be in the sign of Gemini, an important astrological moment for all the signs, an influence that will give us the right energy to make complicated choices and understand what we are, what we want and undo certain knots that we carry with us. Gemini is in fact an air sign, which will give us intense mental activity, clarity and will allow us to meditate in a profound way .
Space for science: what is a penumbral eclipse?
Technically it is a penumbral eclipse, one of the least conspicuous , so we will see the Moon simply slightly in shadow. The Earth, aligned with the Sun, will cause a shadow cone that will engulf the Moon.
In lunar eclipses the cone projected by the Earth is always much wider than the Moon, and is accompanied by another shadow cone, called the penumbral cone, in which only a part of the Sun’s rays are intercepted by the Earth.
The Moon will therefore not cross the shadow cone completely, but only in its penumbra zone, thus a slight darkening of the northernmost part of the Moon will ensue. There will be precisely 4 hours and 36 minutes of ellipses and the Moon will enter the twilight cone at 1.15 pm Italian time on Wednesday 28 November.Â
The eclipse will be visible from much of Asia, Alaska, Hawaii and New Zealand. The central path of the eclipse will pass in Australia, starting from Garig Ganak Barlu National Park, at approximately 21:35 Italian time.
The shadow will then cross the Gulf of Carpentaria to reach the Cape York Peninsula at 21:37 to arrive in Queensland, in the city of Cairns, in the north east of the country. After leaving the land of the kangaroos, its shadow will slide over the Pacific Ocean.
This is the fourth and last eclipse of 2012. The others were the solar one of May 20, the partial moon of June 4, the total sun of November 13 and 14.
Curiosity: We will still have to wait three years to see the fateful red moon , the total lunar eclipse, in fact we will see it on the same date in 2015.
