Penumbral lunar eclipse in Pisces: astrology meaning
A lunar eclipse is a supercharged Full Moon. Astrologers read it as a culmination or release around intuition, dreams and endings (Pisces), with the Sun opposite in Virgo. It falls near the North Node, traditionally the side of the axis linked to growth and new direction. The Pisces–Virgo axis matters most if you have planets or angles within a few degrees of 21°45′ Pisces or Virgo.
