Friday’s lunar eclipse in Sagittarius occurs at 9:25 p.m. Only a small percentage of the moon will graze the Earth’s shadow. Even though it will barely be visible, there are several reasons why this eclipse is noteworthy.

The eclipse is a super moon, which means it’s a high-tide influence. It holds the rare distinction of being the first lunar eclipse in its series. On a symbolic level, it can be suggestive of a new message or moment of truth for the collective.

A few short hours before the eclipse occurs, Mercury conjoins Venus in Gemini. Both planets were active features of the May 9 Taurus solar eclipse, which led to a historic victory by Scorpio Christy Clark, a devastating defeat for Taurus Adrian Dix, and a major scandal for Taurus Stephen Harper. The eclipses will continue to spotlight key people, write headlines, set or shift trends, and define the shape of things to come for some time yet. The stories aren’t over. Beyond making it a great weekend to relax and enjoy, Neptune’s influence on the lunar eclipse can expose more or open floodgates. Neptune can also inspire creativity, romance, or hopefulness. On the flip side, it increases vulnerability and susceptibility. It’s easy to lose sight, drop your guard, or go overboard.

On Monday, Mercury conjoins Jupiter. Tuesday, Venus meets with Jupiter. These opportune days set people, talks, plans, money, deals, trends, and wheels in motion.

Aries
March 19 - April 19

Aim wherever you like; this special-event weekend can deliver big. Friday’s lunar eclipse keeps you on the go in more ways than one. Great scores and same-page accord are easy to find. In addition to a social high or stimulating educational opportunity, this eclipse could surprise you with a call, an invitation, or news. Monday/Tuesday keeps the good buzz going strong.

Taurus
April 19 - May 20

Thursday/Friday could take you by surprise. Seize your opportunity, but don’t overpay or overplay. A leap of faith can be well worth the reward, but watch that you don’t inflate, exaggerate, or let your fearful imagination run too wild. When an emotion, a passion, or a whim gets in the way, reasonable boundaries are easily forgotten. Know your limits, play within them.

Gemini
May 20 - June 20

Whether your big news is planned or life sneaks up on you, Friday’s super-moon lunar eclipse can springboard you into the next chapter pronto. This eclipse holds more striking opportunity if it’s your birthday or you were born on June 9. Better health or wealth, a relationship, a relocation, or a new social life—it’s all up for grabs.

Cancer
June 20 - July 22

Friday’s lunar eclipse could hit you with more than you’re prepared for. Don’t take chances with plans, promises, or secondhand information. You are much further ahead if you take care of matters yourself. By the same token, don’t jump to conclusions. There’s more than one side to the story. Stay observant, heed clues. Monday/Tuesday brings more opportunity, information, or insight.

Leo
July 22 - August 22

Get out and have some fun! Friday’s lunar eclipse can diffuse recent pressure, uncertainty, or tension. Beyond making it a good weekend to get out of town or live it up where you are, the eclipse could let you off the hook or prompt a huge turnaround. An element of surprise or romance can work magic. Same-page accord is optimal through Tuesday.

Virgo
August 22 - September 22

A sense of reward, accomplishment, or justification accompanies Friday’s lunar eclipse. Even though there’s more transition or uncertainty ahead, your new life course is shaping up faster and better than you could have hoped. Regarding career, family, home, or financial matters, Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter suggest that an important talk, an official announcement, a contract, or a new status quo is in the works.

Libra
September 22 - October 22

A great play weekend lies ahead. A workshop, special event, social gathering, or getaway can give you plenty to write home about. Venus and Mercury may bring visitors, news, or an opportunity to get to know someone a whole lot better. Where there’s a spark, there’s a hot and ready fire. Monday through Wednesday is especially lucrative, informative, and easy-rolling.

Scorpio
October 22 - November 21

Whether you’re at work or play, Friday’s lunar eclipse keeps you going full force through the weekend. You may see little choice but to double up on the physical, emotional, or financial output. Is it worth it? Yes, you stand to gain. Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter dish up an opportune time to move on big plans, investments, or a key relationship matter.

Sagittarius
November 21 - December 21

Regarding work, health, or a relationship issue, there’s more going on than is obvious. Stay alert and don’t ignore the signals, but keep your observations to yourself and play it smart. Friday’s lunar eclipse synchronizes beautifully with a weekend adventure. Enjoy but be forewarned: you can easily go too far. Watch your propensity to inflate, exaggerate, overindulge, or overspend.

Capricorn
December 21 - January 20

You could experience a few interesting events over the next couple of days. Friday’s lunar eclipse can spark deeper insight into your own workings or those of others. The weekend is a prolific one for creative exploration. It’s also ideal for a getaway, a catch-up, or a bare-all. Watch for a budding opportunity. Monday/Tuesday, presentations go well.

Aquarius
January 20 - February 18

Do you have high expectations for your weekend? Even if you don’t have anything special planned, you can expect to enjoy it to the fullest. Friday’s lunar eclipse in Sagittarius makes for a great play, adventure-seeking, or people weekend. Inspiration comes easily. Monday through Wednesday is lucrative. Luck and synchronicity are on your side.

Pisces
February 18 - March 19

You are experiencing a big push or countdown now. Friday’s lunar eclipse finds you juggling, stretched, or catering to others. Keep focused on the here and now, and deal with the rest once you get there. Past Sunday, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter help you express yourself, make the deal, and/or move things along with greater ease.
