So, how was it for you? I felt Saturday's Mars-Sun conjunction more than the eclipse, and it appears that the rest of the world did as well. It was awesome to see the world rally for a cause in peace. The aggression of the previous week was behind us, so all-in-all, it was a good 2nd Eclipse of 2020.

The new extensive video showing every major planetary alignment of 2020, 2021 thru the Pluto ingress to Aquarius is now available for FREE download here: https://www.soulfoodtalks.com/2020-2024-astrological-overview Friday, June 5: The penumbral (explained below) eclipse occurs today, and is visible across the Middle East, northern India, China and other parts of the Far East. The Moon is in Sagittarius and the Sun is in Gemini. The eclipse peak occurs at 15° and Mars will be in a degree-based square to the Sun and Moon creating a T-Square. All Times Eastern Daylight, US: Begins: 2:46 pm Full: 3:13 pm Peaks: 3:25 pm ends: 5:04 pm What Is a Lunar Eclipse? The moon moves in an orbit around Earth, and at the same time, Earth orbits the sun. Sometimes Earth moves between the sun and the moon. When this happens, Earth blocks the sunlight that normally is reflected by the moon. (This sunlight is what causes the moon to shine.) Instead of light hitting the moon’s surface, Earth's shadow falls on it. This is an eclipse of the moon -- a lunar eclipse.  A lunar eclipse can occur only when the moon is full. A lunar eclipse can be seen from Earth at night. There are two types of lunar eclipses: total lunar eclipses and partial lunar eclipses. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon and the sun are on exact opposite sides of Earth. Although the moon is in Earth's shadow, some sunlight reaches the moon. The sunlight passes through Earth's atmosphere, which causes Earth’s atmosphere to filter out most of the blue light. This makes the moon appear red to people on Earth. A partial lunar eclipse happens when only a part of the moon enters Earth's shadow. In a partial eclipse, Earth's shadow appears very dark on the side of the moon facing Earth. What people see from Earth during a partial lunar eclipse depends on how the sun, Earth and moon are lined up. A lunar eclipse usually lasts for a few hours. At least two partial lunar eclipses happen every year, but total lunar eclipses are rare. It is safe to look at a lunar eclipse. Source: https://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/5-8/features/nasa-knows/what-is-an-eclipse-58 Penumbral  A penumbral lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth, and the Moon are imperfectly aligned. When this happens, the Earth blocks some of the Sun's light from directly reaching the Moon's surface and covers all or part of the Moon with the outer part of its shadow, also known as the penumbra.  Since the penumbra is much fainter than the dark core of the Earth's shadow, the umbra, a penumbral eclipse of the Moon is often difficult to tell apart from a normal Full Moon. Source: https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/penumbral-lunar-eclipse.html#:~:text=A%20penumbral%20lunar%20eclipse%20occurs,also%20known%20as%20the%20penumbra.

Here are the times for tomorrow's penumbral lunar eclipse in 15° 34' Sagittarius: (Eastern Times) Begins: 1:46 pm Peaks: 2:25 pm Full Moon: 3:13 Ends: 4:04 pm In reflecting on eclipses past, I'm wondering out loud...are they that big of an astrological deal?

We're going to dissect two very ominous energetic formations in the sky today. The air if full of triggers and tension.

Let's have another look at this week from the perspective of the variable that can affect outcomes, and it's not astrology. It is mass consciousness, which begins with our individual consciousness. There are a lot of pretty ominous energies possible in the heavens this week, culminating with the partial lunar eclipse on Friday. But the one thing we can control is our own consciousness, helping to send love and healing into the world. Here's an overview of the next 48 hours, which are critical energetically.

We pick apart the energy behind the rioting in most major cities across the US last night. There are a number of astrological contributions that are fueling this, and they are only building to the crescendo Lunar Eclipse on Friday, June 5. Plus, the Moon Wobble began yesterday and this was a very fast acceleration of that energy, too.

We have been in mostly a pretty quiet period, and that continues into next week...however, today begins the 3 week waxing period of the 2nd "Moon Wobble" period of 2020. The last one was in effect as Covid broke out, so we will see what happens this time. During Moon Wobble periods, often "not-so-positive" events take place, like Covid. Or 911. Earthquakes. etc. We've had a lot thrown at us, and this isn't 100%, but we'll keep an eye on it in context of everything else. Our next big marker after today will be the penumbral lunar eclipse on June 5, 2020 in Sagittarius. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/fun-astrology.

This is the third and final of our Trilogy of Neptune in Pisces, which wouldn't be complete if we didn't look at Neptunes ingress into Aries on January 26, 2026. This will begin to paint a whole new picture as Neptune becomes Aries aggressive while Pluto is on its long trek through Aquarius, empowering society in brand new post-Covid/economic challenges.
