An unusual natural phenomenon will take place on the first Monday in August and for many people will mark the beginning of a new period in life. The lunar eclipse on August 7, 2017 will begin at 21.20 Moscow time and will last one hour and fifty-five minutes.
This is the second partial eclipse of the Moon in the year of the Fire Rooster, which will take place on the axis of the polar signs of the Zodiac Leo and Aquarius.
Effect of an eclipse on people
People who have problems in relationships with the opposite sex will react most sharply to the departure of the Moon into the shadow of the Sun. Astrologers recommend learning to find a compromise in everything and relying on your personal life.
During the eclipse, the Moon will move to the 12th house, which is responsible for changing karma and communication with the other world. The Lunar Eclipse on August 7, 2017 will convey its mystical hue to all zodiac signs.
Please note that the symbol of this day is Victory, and the patron is Archangel Gabriel (Gabriel). Therefore, every person will have a chance to receive long-awaited news from afar and change their life for the better. You can safely break off unnecessary or outdated connections; the Higher Powers will definitely help you find new way to prosperity.
is characterized as a very favorable day for Aries, Cancer, Leo, Libra and Capricorn. Everything will work out especially well for people of the zodiac sign Cancer, since their sensitive intuition will allow them to receive a sign from above on this day. The main thing is to interpret it correctly and use it to your advantage.
But for Taurus, the stars recommend temporarily suppressing their desire to seek justice and harmonize their emotional sphere. Meditation in front of a candle and cleansing the aura of your apartment with water are good for these purposes.
It will be difficult for Gemini to make a choice and there is a risk of chasing two birds with one stone at the same time without the prospect of catching up with at least one. Therefore, think in advance what you need in this life so that your energy costs do not go to waste.
Representatives of the zodiac sign Virgo should be wary of other people's gossip and the obsessive desire to drag you into a conflict situation. Put everything aside for one or two days and see that the problem will solve itself.
Scorpios should give up routine work on this day and choose what they feel most passionate about. Any attempts to do something against your will will be doomed to failure. But Sagittarius may experience health problems, so rest and an infusion of medicinal herbs will help them survive a difficult period of life with minimal losses.
For Aquarius, a partial eclipse of the Moon will bring positive changes if they manage to plan a romantic date or fun gatherings around the fire for this day.
Representatives of the zodiac sign Pisces will have the most difficult day. The reason will be banal laziness and lack of a clear position in life. The stars recommend not to go with the flow, but to fight for a place in the Sun, then everything will turn out well.
What not to do during a lunar eclipse
The summer darkening of the Moon in the year of the Fire Rooster will most acutely affect the lives of people born under the signs of Leo and Aquarius. During the beginning of the partial lunar eclipse on August 7, 2017, the Sun will take its position in Aquarius and the Moon in Leo. Therefore, the day is favorable for women who take an active life position and for those men who are ready to compromise.
The balance of the elements of fire and air will help the flame of passions to fan more and more. The main thing is to give your energy the right direction and conquer new horizons in life. A favorable combination of those aspects that the planets Saturn and Jupiter will form on the day of the lunar eclipse guarantees success for people who dream of starting a new period in life, changing their place of residence or finding a more promising place of work.
But you should refuse to participate in mass events. The stars also do not recommend shopping or purchasing large real estate on this day. Postpone signing important papers and organizing any social events until better times.
On the day it takes place Lunar eclipse August 7, 2017 watch closely household appliances, try not to drive a car unless absolutely necessary and do not leave children unattended. Also, on the first Monday of August this year, it is strictly not recommended to test your health and drink alcohol and fatty foods.
The first of a series of August eclipses will be a Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius and the South Node on August 7th.
The events that will occur in our affairs under the influence of this Lunar Eclipse, firstly, will be associated with the disclosure and culmination in the development of past situations, and secondly, will be related to the processes of involution - that is, to the processes of materialization of ideas and plans, their embodiment into material reality.
The sign of the Lunar Eclipse in the South Node, Aquarius, means that the implementation of past ideas and plans may involve sudden and revolutionary changes in our practical affairs. Perhaps, also under the influence of the Lunar Eclipse, the principles of freedom, independence, and some innovative, unusual and non-standard ideas will be embodied in the circumstances of our realities in one form or another.
The eclipse point forms a harmonious aspect to Jupiter in Libra and a tense aspect to Mars in Leo. In fact, the Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius accentuates the beginning of the Solar-Martian cycle - a new two-year cycle of self-realization in active external activities.
On the one hand, this means that sharp turns and transformations in the development of our past affairs can be associated with new directions in self-realization, external activities, as well as with new prospects and horizons. On the other hand, a Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius and in the South Node, accentuated by Mars, may indicate that breaking ties with the past and liberation from past circumstances can occur against our will, under the influence of external factors, as a result of conflicts and stressful changes.
At this time, changes will in any case come to our realities, but in some cases, as a result of the fact that we translate new ideas and plans into reality, we are freed from previous conditions on our own initiative, in others - against our will, spontaneously and as a result of action external factors.
For those who are involved in their work with new technologies, symbolic systems, artificial intelligence, society, and unusual areas of activity, this is a great time to bring their developments and projects into reality. But also in all other types of activities, the Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius brings excellent opportunities for development through renewal, the introduction of innovations and advanced ideas.
In the development of previously started affairs and life stories, issues of cooperation, social activities, and associations with those who share our ideas come to the fore. Our past affairs reach a stage at which their development directly depends on interaction with other people and requires new, non-standard solutions and approaches. Therefore, under the influence of the Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius, we can decide to make changes in life plans and rebuild our connections with other people, groups of people and communities, depending on commonality in ideas, goals, position in the world and society.
The periods of Lunar Eclipses in general, and the Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius especially, are an excellent time to clarify any situations and obtain all the necessary information for making decisions. In the affairs and situations that have developed so far, all previously hidden aspects are revealed, previous illusions are dispelled, and all possibilities and limitations are clearly identified. At this time, based on the full picture that becomes clear to us, we make pivotal decisions about whether we are ready to move in the same direction or whether something urgently needs to be changed.
Under the influence of the Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius, there may be a growing need for liberation from old frameworks, obligations, previous conditions and problems, and increased needs for independence and freedom can lead to a rebellion against the past, to sharp breaks in relationships and ties with the past. The South Node in which the eclipse occurs indicates that all this may have to do with family ties, practical activities or irreversibly change our material reality.
In negative options, transition conflict situations in a new stage can cause ruptures, distance and cooling in close and family relationships. In addition, transformations into existing connections(including related ones) can become the result of sudden crises and emergency situations.
Transformations in our practical affairs, activities and work can also occur against our will, and liberation from the past in all this can be the result of sudden turns in the development of external circumstances. As a result, we may be forced to redefine our goals and areas of activity in response to changing external conditions. Therefore, a Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius can bring forced changes in work and our business plans, accompanied by crises and tense situations.
The negative impact of the Lunar Eclipse on health can manifest itself in disorders affecting the cardiovascular system, cerebral vessels, nervous system and vision. Near the eclipse, there will be an increased likelihood of problems with blood pressure, strokes, spasmodic phenomena, as well as injuries to the legs, tendons, and especially ankle joints.
And, of course, as always during periods of Lunar eclipses, nervous and emotional tension increases, and the ability to control one’s reactions and adequately assess both opportunities and risks decreases. All this causes an increased likelihood of injury, emergency situations and destructive conflicts. In addition, near the Lunar Eclipse, the danger of man-made accidents, problems with equipment, electricity, fire, communication and transport systems increases.
And especially dangerous from all points of view will be the days immediately near the eclipse - August 6-8, as well as the days August 10-14, when Mars will pass through the point of the Lunar Eclipse. These days we will need maximum caution, restraint and self-control, since the likelihood of unpredictable developments in matters important to us, sudden violations of plans, accidents, crises and tense situations will be very high.
In addition, on August 10-14, on the days when Mars will pass through the point of the Lunar Eclipse, any of our actions can become special power- both destructive and creative. Where and how our energy is directed these days can have a fateful significance in the development of life situations that are important to us.
Indeed, eclipses are special dates in the calendar. Each eclipse carries meaning and can help each individual to make their life better. You just need to correctly use the powerful energy of the eclipse for your own benefit, and not to your detriment.
The lunar eclipse, which will take place on August 7, 2017, is of great importance not only to astronomers, but also to astrologers. After all, it is this astronomical event that will allow us to take a different look at all aspects of life.
It will help to identify and eliminate sources of disharmony in relationships with others, establish business contacts and solve many other problems.
Place, date and exact time of the eclipse on August 7, 2017

In what sign will the lunar eclipse occur on August 7, 2017?
As in February, in August a lunar eclipse will occur on the Aquarius-Leo axis. When the Sun is in the sign of Aquarius, the Moon will be in the sign of Leo. Thus, the lunar eclipse will occur at 11 degrees in the fiery zodiac sign Leo.
Astrologers traced the balance of the elements - air and fire. The Sun in Aquarius and the Moon in Leo form a harmonious connection with Saturn, which is in Sagittarius, and Jupiter, which will be in Libra. As experts explain, this relationship allows us to hope for a favorable outcome of problems that may arise during the eclipse.
The August lunar eclipse can help people enter a new phase of life. Many will forget past failures and will be able to look confidently into the future. The ingenuity of Aquarius and the creativity of Leo, along with the pragmatism of Saturn and the optimism of Jupiter, are a favorable combination. This means that by realizing your creative potential, you can experience limitless inner freedom and unity with your true self.
Perhaps not all people know, but astrology is largely based on ancient cultural traditions and Vedic knowledge. According to this knowledge, experts have created a certain set of advisory rules that relate to prohibitions during periods of lunar eclipses.
So, on August 7, it is undesirable to do the following things:
Take part in public events, for example, be in squares where there is a presence big number of people;
- resolve serious issues related to capital investments and other financial transactions;
- make global acquisitions (real estate, vehicles, special equipment, etc.);
- sign important documents (conclude contracts);
Aries
All day long, those under this zodiac sign will feel a surge of mental strength. The energy surge will reach its peak in evening time. The closer to the eclipse, the greater the chances of realizing even the most daring ideas. Astrologers recommend that Aries not be timid, but continuously move towards their goal. August 7 is one of the most favorable days for Aries.
Taurus
People of this sign should beware of any conflicts. The fact is that the eclipse will prompt them to sort things out. Taurus will want to achieve truth and justice at any cost. Old grievances lurk in their souls, and Taurus are people who are not used to showing their emotions. But during the eclipse, they do not have enough strength to hide them and all the pain living in their subconscious threatens to burst out, like an avalanche from the crater of a volcano. Advice: keep your emotions to yourself, it's not best time To dot the “i”s, if it is difficult to restrain, try to remain alone.
Twins
The polarity of the signs through which the main Celestial objects will pass will be expressed in the contradictory actions of Gemini. They will not be able to fully understand what they really want. But you definitely need to decide! Focusing on one thing is very important to you. And it doesn’t matter what exactly you do: cleaning the house or establishing business contacts. The main thing is that on August 7 you direct all your energy to your chosen activity.
During the eclipse, all Cancers will experience a sharpening of their already overdeveloped intuition. People of this sign will be given signs of the Higher Powers. It is very important not to miss these signs and interpret them correctly. Providence will allow you not to do anything stupid, since there is a high probability of conflict situations at work and at home.
A surge of tenderness and a feeling of happiness - these emotions will take over the mind and soul of people of this sign. On August 7th, their leonine nature will fully manifest itself. Spend this day with your household. It’s great if you and your family go for a walk, visit a cafe or cinema. This will have a beneficial effect on family relationships and will help you establish contact with relatives with whom you were previously reluctant to communicate.
Virgo
Nervousness, irritability, self-criticism - these are the emotions that will overwhelm Virgos before the start of the eclipse. But closer to midnight, when the eclipse passes, the emotional background will gradually begin to return to normal. Due to instability of moral state, misunderstandings may arise with loved ones. It is better for you not to get into disputes, leaving the resolution of conflict situations for the next day.
Scales
Powerful flows of energy will have a gentle effect on the wards of this sign. They will only feel a slight sense of elation. But throughout the day they will be in a romantic mood. Free from family ties, Libra has a good chance of making a pleasant acquaintance with a candidate for the role of life partner. And for those who are married, a complete idyll awaits them in their relationship with their other half. The day of the eclipse can radically change ideas about family life: spouses will begin to understand each other more and appreciate what they have.
Scorpion
The energy of the eclipse will greatly affect Scorpios. They will be thrown from one extreme to another. There will be so many ideas and desires that they will not be able to understand what is more important to them. Intuition will come to the rescue. You just need to listen to your inner voice and act according to its dictates. Remember, any business that you do on this day against your will will not lead to anything good.
Sagittarius
Always energetic Sagittarius may feel unwell during the eclipse. Most likely, this is how chronic fatigue will manifest itself. But the mind, on the contrary, will be clear and sober as never before! It is better to spend the whole day relaxing and planning for the future. It is important to set the right life guidelines so that, following them, you can easily achieve your goals. For you, the period of the eclipse will become a kind of “springboard” that will help you find answers to many questions and achieve success.
Capricorn
All Capricorns will have confidence that they will be able to solve all their problems, and in one fell swoop. It must be admitted that most will be able to prove this in practice. Their professional sense will be sharpened, their mind will be clear, and their concentration will be extremely high. Your health will not let you down either. After August 7, many Capricorns will be able to begin counting down a new stage in their careers.
Aquarius
The wards of this sign will have a need to realize their creativity. Those who tune in to the process correctly will succeed in this matter. Can be a hindrance everyday problems, which arose so inopportunely. To avoid this, you should postpone solving all issues until later.
Fish
To resolve even unimportant issues, Pisces will have to strain, as the eclipse will have a relaxing effect on them. Of course, this is not bad, but it is unlikely to achieve positive results. If Pisces wants to turn their ideas into reality, they need to drive away mother laziness and be active.
IN I wrote about eclipses and gave recommendations for this period. Now I want to dwell on what was not included in . So, in August 2017 we will see two eclipses:
The August 2017 eclipses will be on the axis at . Over the next year and a half, eclipses will occur on this axis, bringing the themes of Leo and Aquarius to the fore.
The lion is a symbol of imperative will and personal power; it is a leader, monarch, president. Aquarius is the demos (Greek for “people”), free citizens with civil rights. From this root comes the word and concept - democracy - the power of the people. This is parliament public organizations, civil movements. During the period when eclipses occur in the signs of Leo and Aquarius (until February 2019), new trends in society, new trends in international relations, in the relationship between the government and the people, the “social contract”, the type of interaction, is changing, is changing global political situation,subsequently becoming a stable trend for a long period. These are also the themes of persons in power, their destinies and their influence on world processes.
The eclipse begins at 15:46 GMT
Maximum phase at 18:21 GMT
The eclipse ends at 21:04 GMT
For Kyiv and Moscow +3.
Full blackout phase 2 minutes, 41 seconds.
August 21, 2017 will be on the North Node. The astrological community is calling it the “Great American Eclipse,” and for good reason. Eclipse shadow passing through certain territories, indicates the countries that will be most affected by this eclipse. The path of the August 21, 2017 eclipse covers the entire United States. The United States will be the area of greatest visibility for this eclipse.For the first time since 1918, the eclipse's shadow will cross the entire continent, and this is the first eclipse since 1776 to have its total shadow pass exclusively across the United States.
Another reason this eclipse is considered significant for the United States is that it occurs at 28°53" Leo - conjunct the natal ascendant and Mars of President Donald Trump, who was born on the lunar eclipse. In traditional astrology, the fate of the country is associated with the card of its ruler, and significant transits to the card of the country’s leader can indicate not only important events in his destiny, but also important events in the country as a whole.Given the growing tension around the Donald Trump administration, the coming period could be a time of serious testing for him.or important initiatives, and will become decisive.
August 21 will be in an exact trine with Uranus. This eclipse is more constructive than the previous one. If August 7 poses problems, then August 21 makes it possible to solve them. This period gives events an impetus that can be felt in our personal affairs for several years. “Absorption of light” makes this period unpredictable, causing a feeling of uncertainty that will be revealed later.
Leo's theme is creativity, love relationship, children, business related to art, the show industry and entertainment, the stock exchange and speculation, these are topics of receiving money from parents and real estate.This eclipse will also activate Topics risky adventures, gambling, stock speculation.If this eclipse falls on significant point natal chart, it can bring changes in our careers and leadership. At this time our creativity creative projects can get a result that will determine our future plans and tasks. Previous creative efforts can develop into more meaningful activities; we may decide to turn our hobby into a profession or source of income. Situations of this period may encourage you to take responsibility and manage what is happening.This period provides the opportunity to solve old problems in new ways, the opportunity to find a way out of difficulties using non-standard approaches. But for this we need to move away from previous stereotypes.
So, how to get through this period without creating additional problems for yourself?
The first thing to remember - Eclipses add significance to everything that happens at this time. I quote from my article: “At this time, especially near eclipses, you should carefully monitor all current situations, meetings and new ideas. We must remember that every event that occurs during an eclipse is more important than we might initially assume. Ideas, proposals, projects and people who enter our lives during the “season” of eclipses become part of our lives for a long period.”
But mistakes, delusions, miscalculations and misdeeds also become more significant than at other times, and their consequences will be long-lasting. Therefore, we do not follow the lead of emotions and illusions, rely on reason and prudence, and do not succumb to provocations and temptations. Important decisions should not be made during eclipses, and especially on the day of the eclipse. Rely on proven connections and prepare new steps. But new beginnings and projects need to be postponed to the period after September 6
Second thing to remember - eclipses of this are associated with our awareness of our originality, our “I” that is different from others, our personal and creative tasks in a collective context. This is the topic: “I” and the team, the ability not to dissolve in the interests of others, but to be able to build relationships so that cooperation or personal relationships do not interfere with our need to be ourselves. Do not follow the lead of others, do not engage in dubious benefits and relationships of dependence, do not compromise principles and be true to yourself, even if this means parting with someone or something, or losing something. in Leo calls for finding a balance between our individual tasks and what other people expect or want from us, between personal and social life, between the demands that others place on us and our need to be ourselves. An important psychological side of this period will be the ability not to forget about one’s interests and goals for the sake of someone or in the name of something, and not to be led by the opinions of the crowd. This position will be the key to solving problems that will arise in relationships during this period. If we make ourselves dependent on the approval of a reference group or collective, we may lose personal initiative, and with it new opportunities and the respect of the group on which we are accustomed to depend. This is a psychological emphasis on a long period that needs to be given attention. I wrote more about this in the material

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon (in its full moon phase) enters the cone of the shadow cast by the Earth. The diameter of the Earth's shadow spot at a distance of 363,000 km (the minimum distance of the Moon from the Earth) is about 2.5 times the diameter of the Moon, so the entire Moon may be obscured. If the Moon falls into the total shadow of the Earth only partially, it is observed partial eclipse. With it, part of the Moon is dark, and part, even in its maximum phase, remains in partial shade and is illuminated by the sun's rays.
A lunar eclipse is observed over half of the Earth's territory (where the Moon is above the horizon at the time of the eclipse). The view of the shadowed Moon from any observation point is the same.
The next lunar eclipse will be total and will occur on January 31, 2018, with a depth of 1.32 lunar diameters in the southern part of the earth's shadow. The eclipse will be observed over most of Russia. Best conditions visibility will develop in Eastern Siberia and the Far East.
