What is a full moon eclipse?
Also known as a “wolf” moon or a “great spirit” moon, January 2019’s full moon marks the first full moon of the new year and set to shake up all kinds of reflection and resolution.
Why is the January 2019 full moon such a big deal?
This moon, which took place on the 21st of January, is particularly special because it was a super moon undergoing a total lunar eclipse. The moon passed into the shadow of the Earth giving it a red glow – which is where the name ‘blood moon’ comes from. The last time a blood moon occurred was in July 2018.
“We’re going into this unusual lull in total lunar eclipses over the next couple of years,” Tom Kerss, an astronomer from the Royal Observatory Greenwich tells The Guardian.
“So this is a really good one to catch as it’s going to be a long time before you catch another one like this – we will have other lunar eclipses, we just won’t have anything quite as spectacular until May 2021.”
Astrologer Lisa Stardust told Bustle, this full moon in Leo “will bring inner truths to light, elevating our desire for autonomy and independence,” for all of us, no matter what our sign is.
This moon will be the first of three supermoons scheduled for 2019. You won’t have to wait long until the next one (19 February).
What does the full moon total lunar eclipse mean for your star sign?
Basically, it means dedicate some alone time to yourself and let all of your emotions and thoughts settle in their own space. However, because the full moon is in Leo, the shift will affect some star signs more than others; namely Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius.
