Total lunar eclipse in Aries: astrology meaning
A lunar eclipse is a supercharged Full Moon. Astrologers read it as a culmination or release around impulsive decisions, independence and new starts (Aries), with the Sun opposite in Libra. It falls near the North Node, traditionally the side of the axis linked to growth and new direction. The Aries–Libra axis matters most if you have planets or angles within a few degrees of 2°28′ Aries or Libra.
It is the Full Moon of September 1950.
