A very rare astronomical event will take place on 31st January - a Blue Moon. A 'Blue Moon' happens when there are two Full Moons in one calendar month. This occurs approximately five times per century, hence the saying 'once in a blue moon' which means something that doesn't happen very often. There are two Blue Moons this year on 31st January and again on 31st March. However, January's Blue Moon is even rarer as it is also a Super Moon - which means it's almost 15% brighter - and an Eclipsed Moon too! There has not been a Moon like this for over 150 years.
What does all of this mean astrologically? Well, if you have ant planets or points in your natal chart which are positioned between 10° - 13° Aquarius or Leo, if your birthday falls from 30th January to 3rd February, or if your birthday is from 31st July to 4th August, these will be triggered by the Eclipse, bringing an emotional awakening during the next six months. Interestingly, Meghan Markle has her natal Sun at 12° Leo. We assume that we know what she'll be doing during the next six months, but there could be sadness for some reason.
This Lunar Eclipse is in conjunction to Ceres - the planet of food, agriculture, fertility and nurturing. So, the current upsurge in veganism will probably continue. We'll also become even more aware of environmental issues. And because both the Moon and Ceres are female influences, expect the empowerment of women to increase.
