Penumbral lunar eclipse in Gemini: astrology meaning
A lunar eclipse is a supercharged Full Moon. Astrologers read it as a culmination or release around everyday communication, siblings and short trips (Gemini), with the Sun opposite in Sagittarius. It falls near the North Node, traditionally the side of the axis linked to growth and new direction. The Gemini–Sagittarius axis matters most if you have planets or angles within a few degrees of 8°45′ Gemini or Sagittarius.
It is the Full Moon of November 2020.
