Total lunar eclipse in Capricorn: astrology meaning
A lunar eclipse is a supercharged Full Moon. Astrologers read it as a culmination or release around career, authority and long-term plans (Capricorn), with the Sun opposite in Cancer. It falls near the South Node, traditionally the side of the axis linked to letting go and endings. The Capricorn–Cancer axis matters most if you have planets or angles within a few degrees of 3°29′ Capricorn or Cancer.
It is the Full Moon of June 1964.
