This month's Full Moon and Supermoon in tropical Pisces is also a partial lunar eclipse, which kicks off 2024's final eclipse season. A lunar eclipse is a more amplified culmination, conclusion, and crescendo within the year when critical events and processes come to a head. Eclipses can also correlate with breakthroughs and resolutions related to longstanding situations and issues.

The most dominant feature of this lunar eclipse is its conjunction with Neptune near the Aries Point. The Aries Point is about pushing past, through, and against imposed boundaries within the world and within ourselves. In its negative face, Neptune is the planet of delusion, deception, and confusion. In its more positive face, it is the planet that reveals a more expansive truth and reality and thus its association with mysticism, numinosity, and spirituality.

This eclipse can symbolize both a collective and personal challenge, via its square to Jupiter in Gemini, to push through foggy distortion and seek the more expansive truth beyond the surface level of issues and situations. Disillusionment, confusion, and even discouragement can be an aspect of this, but so can awakening to a more holistic understanding of a complex matter.

Paradoxically, we might find that "pushing through" might come about in less aggressive and more receptive ways by taking time out of the hustle to reflect and meander. Sometimes, the most powerful breakthroughs and realizations happen when we're not so focused and fixated on what we're attempting to do. Receiving and allowing change to flow through us is more of the Neptunian vibe.

There is more going on than what you can easily consume on the surface. This is also the beginning stages of a long and sometimes difficult awakening on the collective level that will be seeded over the next two years. Challenge personal and collective perceptions of beliefs and gently push through to a new level of awareness and understanding.
