Notes on January 2018 Lunar eclipse

The January 31 total lunar eclipse is a complicated package, being empowered by its supermoon status and strengthened by the planetary connections closely entangled
Prior posts on extreme weather and significant environmental events [such as quakes, eruptions, avalanches, landslips] give the explanatory background showing what combinations consistently arise when such events have a top level probability of occurring.

news updates -the aftermath -scroll to end

Eclipses have a 6 month effect window -beginning days before exact and capable of identified themes being retriggered multiple times in that time frame due to repeated activation by further planetary factors coming within close range of the sensitive degree positions found in the full eclipse array -not just the sun & moon - some or all of the whole set of galactic players that are entangled by degree position to the eclipse and or to other planets.

Standout aspects activated by the January lunar eclipse
The indicators of sustained severe to extreme weather and major environmental conditions remain strong, sustaining the pattern locked in at January 1 2018 which indicated "high heat". This effect already noted in the US [in winter] New Zealand and Australia [in summer]
The combination of dryness, heat plus wind and fire plus wind are ongoing conditions with related high level of combustibility in general contexts.
Drought intensity likely to increase.

In locations where the season is not capable of destructive heat in the natural environment, the risk shifts to fire or combustion in constructed environments. 

In addition technological and communication devices more at risk of destructive combustion
"Meltdown" energy.

With lots of entanglement [Pluto-Uranus-Chiron-Saturn-Pluto] the structural collapse theme already identified for January is sustained.

  • Forces of nature being out of balance are the starting point for these outcomes in vulnerable zones. 
  • Environmental examples are landslips, flooding and avalanches [excess snow is the issue generally in Feb 2018] with resulting destruction. 
  • Other contexts involves physical structures such buildings, bridges. 
  • On the smaller scales soil or pasture structure affected. In human affairs the structure of any system or network or way of life that is not functioning in a balanced manner is capable of some degree of breakdown or collapse.


The power shift arising during the spread of the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements is sustained. This is no flash in the pan. The energy change is real, deep and powerful.

Power use/abuse, politics, accountability, responsibility all remain in the spotlight -especially with the need to replace delusion, escapism, avoidance or fantasy with cold hard facts and reality. Replace addiction with withdrawal. Exchange dissolution with new structure.

Death themes continue to be pronounced -in some cases literal death of the body, in other cases a psychological death so that other parts of the mind arise giving new strength.
Environmental death relates to plants or animals affected by the sustained elemental imbalance delivered by the forces of nature.

Significant encounters involving someone known from the past. The friendship/love spectrum has to be re-examined..is this a repeat or has something changed?
This is the Aquarius-Leo eclipse with lunar nodes and Venus. It will be most relevant for those with positions in the range 10-17 degrees of Leo-Aquarius-Taurus-Scorpio.
A creative surge is also inspired in many due to the combined Venus-Leo-Neptune energies

Many key effects are location specific as the eclipse chart is organised differently around the wheel due to location. For this reason only one location/nation is given as an example

The representative New Zealand chart based on the densest population zone Auckland shows the eclipse emphasis in the areas of communication, discussion, reading writing, publishing, education/study and mind activity in general [houses 3 and 9]
Venus and Neptune both add layers to the themes.
Love, friendship, creativity/art/theatre/performance, magical & innovative entertainment, technology, children are all themes or combinations -eg children's performance, technological art, arts education...are the sort of things arising more prominently in the half year of this eclipse

The risk accentuated around the sea/water during adventurous activity is also apparent due to Mars' position.
The force of water is significant in environmental events.
The land, agriculture and horticulture are also under threat with Saturn Pluto and Uranus [dryness, wind and heat] made more intense by the death cycle under Jupiter - affecting things related to the land/earth structure. Consequences for some also include their material, financial assets.



Haven't had time to look in depth at other locations but the chart for Washington DC will give some clues [to astrologers] as to the conditions for America
