A lunar eclipse is a supercharged Full Moon. Astrologers read it as a culmination or release around creativity, romance and self-expression (Leo), with the Sun opposite in Aquarius. It falls near the North Node, traditionally the side of the axis linked to growth and new direction. The Leo–Aquarius axis matters most if you have planets or angles within a few degrees of 11°26′ Leo or Aquarius.
