On Oct 28, a high-energy full moon and partial lunar eclipse creates an opening for powerful awakenings and transformation. This exhilarating full moon can also create dramatic situations and emotional reactions, so take things slowly and remain calm.
In India this full moon is celebrated as Sharad Purnima, a harvest full moon of hope and prosperity. This year the auspicious Sharad Purnima will be eclipsed from 12:35 pm – 1:52 pm PT. According to Vedic Astrology, viewing of the moon should be avoided during the hours of the eclipse.
This full moon/lunar eclipse is in the area of the sky called Ashwini, which is said to relate to the energy and speed of a horse.
This is a highly energetic lunar eclipse that may feel exhilarating or intense for some people. You may also feel sensitive to your surroundings, and interactions could be more emotional than usual.
With war-like Mars aligned closely with Mercury, the planet of communication and movement, this lunar eclipse can ignite fierce conversations, fast-moving exchanges and possibly frazzling travel experiences.
