Penumbral lunar eclipse in Cancer: astrology meaning
A lunar eclipse is a supercharged Full Moon. Astrologers read it as a culmination or release around home, family and old memories (Cancer), with the Sun opposite in Capricorn. It falls near the North Node, traditionally the side of the axis linked to growth and new direction. The Cancer–Capricorn axis matters most if you have planets or angles within a few degrees of 19°54′ Cancer or Capricorn.
It is the Full Moon of January 2020.
