The lunar Eclipse in Aquarius + Magic
A lunar eclipse (Εκλείψεις) is the astronomical event that occurs when the Earth intervenes between the Sun and the Moon, causing a "shadow cone" that obscures the moon, this occurs when the three celestial bodies, Earth, Sun and The Moon, are in a perfect alignment or very close to being, and in this way, the Earth blocks the solar rays that arrive at our majestic satellite; Because of this, lunar eclipses only occur with the full moon.
This 7th of August we will have a partial lunar eclipse, this is what happens when only a part of the Moon is hidden. In this case, said Eclipse will only be visible in Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia.
In Astrology, an eclipse is any form of concealment of a force, from a different force. Usually, eclipses mark powerful changes that affect the lives of people and the course of the same, mark and determine the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new one. The remarkable effects of a Sun eclipse can be felt up to six months after the event has occurred, this is known as a "drag effect", while the effects caused by a lunar eclipse can be felt up to three months after the astrological event, With greater strength the first three weeks.
Astrologically, it is considered unflattering to undertake new projects in eclipse season, for example, this month of August 2017, we have a lunar eclipse on August 7 and a Solar eclipse on August 21, relationships, partnerships and businesses that start Between the 8 and the 20 of August, will be of low effect and of little profitability.
The Saros Cycle # 119
This lunar eclipse is part of the Saros # 119 cycle. A "saros" (or a saros cycle) consists of a period of 223 moons, equivalent to 6585.32 days (approximately 18 years and 11 days) after which the Moon and Earth return to the same position in their corresponding orbits, Repeating the same eclipses, and again flowing the same energy. A saros has a total of 223 synodic months (months ruled by the moon and counted from a new moon to the next).
This lunar system has been known for thousands of years and is a way of predicting future eclipses. For example, in the Saros 136 cycle, there was a solar eclipse on July 22, 2009, which is expected to be exactly the same as on August 2, 2027.
The saros comprises a total of 18 years of eclipse, which contains 38 eclipse stations that occur every half year. In each season two or three eclipses occur (of Sun and Moon including penumbral), the saros presents in average 42 eclipses of Sun and 42 of Moon. The solar eclipses are 14 partial and 28 central (total, annular or mixed). The eclipses of the moon are 14 penumbral, 14 partial and 14 total. Currently, we are in a poor saros (they do not reach the average) and the next ones will still be more. With the passage of time, they evolve reaching the mean and then surpassed it, all with a cycle of about 600 years.
The Moon Myth of Immortality
The Hindus at the beginning of our era tried to explain the moon eclipses through the myth of Rahu (which is told in the Bhagavat Purana, among others). The demigods and demons beat the ocean of milk (one of the seven exotic, distant oceans within this planet) to extract the nectar from immortality. When this occurred, a female form of the god Vishnu made them line up. First, he would give a drink to every demigod and then he would share the rest among the demons.
Rahu then took the form of demigods to participate in the first dosage of nectar. When it was his turn and lifted the cup to take a drop of nectar, Soma (moon god) realized the imposture and warned Vishnu, who cut off the demon's head with his chakra disk. As Rahu already had the drop of nectar in his mouth, his head became immortal, hung from the celestial vault and every now and then eat the Moon in revenge.
When an eclipse occurs, the Hindus hide fearfully in their houses, since they consider it an "in-auspicious" event (a-shubha).
Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius
It is always important to remember (and difficult to forget) that the moon eclipses happen in full moon, for this reason, one of the most important nights of the month become an event of great power (or great catastrophe in some cases ). When an eclipse happens the lunar energy flows with greater power but at the same time is a complex energy and difficult to handle.
The moon in the sign of the aquarium has always been characterized as an intrepid and rebellious moon, those that fill us with a courage to undertake new projects and give us the strength to always dare to go further and further. This lunar eclipse will come loaded with an inevitable tendency to affective coldness, indifference, intolerance to what is different and a series of continuous contradictory behaviors. So let's try to stay calm and take a deep breath because it's going to be necessary.
Magic in full Eclipse
According to European folklore, even the most experienced witches may fear the terrible power of the lunar eclipse, for their energy is so remarkable that it could even influence the nobler spirits. In the African tradition of Osha, Santeria and Umbanda, when a lunar eclipse occurs, it is considered that Nana buruku (the patroness and the dark night) is free to roam the human world with its Vodoun who escort and protect it, Pouring blessings upon the noble believers and curses upon unbelievers.
In Santería, white and gold banners are placed on the doors and windows to ward off the malevolent spirits who will take advantage of tonight to manifest in our world, and to exchange their place here with that of the living. While in traditional witchcraft a lunar eclipse is considered as the moment when the magic of the moon is weaker, and it is the darkest magic that takes control of the earth only for a few moments.
In fact, multiple black magic books, including the famous "handbook of the sorcerer" of St. Cyprian and the "Necronomicon" (just to name the best known), prescribe hundreds of ritual spells and sacrifices to channel the negative power of a lunar eclipse , Weakening the power of good witches and turning blessings into all kinds of evil spells and diseases, so it is important to be forewarned and to take the lead.
An old common spell of Spanish folklore incites witches who work the dark arts to bury a certain number of fully living birds on the mound of land closest to the entrance to the cemetery, along with the names of their adversaries and enemies, Then pour a mixture of oils prepared to moisten the earth as a tribute to the deceased and souls in pain to give torment to the living. While in Cuba, pigs, dark liquors and honey are offered to the souls of forgotten witches to invite them to promote evil among the living, in exchange for health, beauty, and longevity.
On the other hand, the complex energy of the eclipse can emotionally alter the souls of the deceased and make them irritable so they may disturb their offspring on earth. That is why the most natural witches are focused on protecting themselves with amulets from the days before until the days after that eclipse.
A common and very popular ritual is to anoint with orange and cinnamon oil a crystalline quartz, making use of both hands anointing and washing this crystal channeling in the good energies, rubbing the glass making circles on the forehead following the order Clockwise up to seven times, then stored and carried everywhere in the handbag and even placed next to the bed at bedtime.
I have been carrying out this simple ritual for years, but I have personalized it, adding a little prayer of protection, those that are in the old book of the grandmother, the truth is not that it means in its entirety, but I know that it has very Good results, and from using it from time to time it seems to gain more strength each time. That prayer is as follows.
"Et invitare vos ad me hodie
Et custodiat semper ab exorabit against onmi malum omnes
Libera me ab omnibus malis atque malitiose intenderet rem pronuntio. "
I keep this annotated next to the glass and it is placed next to the bed after the ritual, this way the crystal will channel all negative energy in your way, it will absorb it and it will keep it away from you, in the worst case (that you have been victim Of some spell or ritual with bad intentions), the crystal will break in a few days, then quickly replace it with another and throw the broken glass in a stream of water to dissipate its broken energy.
White candles, a lot of incense, mirrors by the windows and bells hanging from the door handle, baking four-leaf clover-shaped herbal bread, and a glass of water and honey in a corner next to the entrance are some of the basic tips that must be known and put into practice to keep distant the negative effects of a lunar eclipse.
Try to write them down, share them and remember them, and for everything else, look for me on your favorite social network and write to me, all the other complex rituals and spells you can find in my books available on Amazon.
Hugs of light and many blessings.
