What it is
A total 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.
Total: the whole disc is covered. The strongest kind, and the one most visibly felt in the charts it touches directly.
The read
What this eclipse in Cancer asks
A full Moon in Cancer brings a feeling about home and family into the light.
The Moon is at home in Cancer, facing the Sun in Capricorn: home against work, feeling against duty. Something about where you belong and who takes care of whom comes to a head, often through a mood you cannot explain until you do.
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 the need under the mood and say it to the person it concerns. The full Moon in Cancer settles when the house knows what it needs.
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.
