What it is
A partial lunar eclipse
A full Moon with a shadow
A lunar eclipse is a full Moon with the Earth's shadow on the Moon: a culmination with more force than usual, and an ending or exposure where the eclipse falls in your chart. What surfaces under a lunar eclipse tends to be finished, not managed.
Partial: only part of the disc is covered. A real eclipse, somewhat softer in effect than a total one.
The read
What this eclipse in Pisces asks
A full Moon in Pisces brings a feeling you could not name into the light, and asks you to let something go.
The Moon in Pisces faces the Sun in Virgo: the dissolved against the sorted, compassion against correction. Something you have been carrying for others, or escaping from, surfaces, and the release is the point.
Under an eclipse, the same question arrives with more force and a longer window: about six months, until the next eclipse season on the same axis.
The move
What to do
Somewhere to go
Name whose feeling it is, forgive what can be forgiven, and rest. The full Moon in Pisces settles when you have let one thing go.
Eclipse-specific: do not force a decision on the day itself; the picture is clearest two weeks after. Watch what arrives or leaves on its own, and respond to that.
