Like any other full moon, a lunar eclipse can bring something to light, to fruition or to a conclusion, but unlike your typical full moon, an eclipse can be a game changer or coincide with a blindside.

With no major aspects influencing the eclipse, the focus is on the opposition between the Gemini Moon and the Sagittarius Sun. Among other things, Gemini and Sagittarius represent the axis of the mind which means the spotlight is on how we process information. 

For example, do you pay so much attention to the facts in front of you that you fail to consider other possibilities? If so, then you need to tap into the solar side of this eclipse and embrace Sagittarius’s expansive vision. On the other hand, are you always so focused on the big picture that you miss the finer points? If so, then you need to tap into the lunar energy and embrace Gemini's attention to detail.

Although there are no major aspects, there are two minor ones that are worth discussing. First, the quincunx between the Sun and Uranus suggests this eclipse may trigger a sense of anxiety. Since there's also a quincunx between the Moon and Venus, such anxiety may stem from something coming to light that creates a sense of insecurity connected to values, money, love or relationships. No matter which life area it may affect, there's a need for adjustment (action or attitude) that you may or may no be ready or willing to make at this time.

In a previous newsletter I wrote that by the time of this eclipse, I expected that the winner of the election would be clearly established because the eclipse falls on Joe Biden's Saturn (he achieves what he's been working towards for years or it comes to an end).

While that prediction certainly seems accurate given Joe Biden's status as President-elect, it would be negligent of me to ignore the lawsuits that were filed just days ago in some of the battleground states. When using astrology as a predictive tool (for individuals or a nation), it's critical to analyze the potential influences from an objective viewpoint and consider all the possibilities.

On that note, looking at the eclipse from the perspective of the ongoing court actions, Gemini and Sagittarius can be interpreted as representing the axis of truth, with Gemini being direct evidence (e.g.,eyewitness accounts, documentary evidence) and Sagittarius being the legal hypothesis (e.g., the allegations and theory behind it). Since the eclipse is in Gemini, the spotlight is on direct evidence, and as we've seen and heard in the media, there's been much criticism about a lack of hard evidence.

This past Wednesday, a judge blocked certification of Pennsylvania's election results (that decision is being appealed) and that night lawsuits were filed in Georgia and Michigan. In addition, votes are being recounted in Wisconsin, and hearings are currently being sought in Nevada and Arizona.

Since eclipses have a well-deserved reputation for delivering blindsides and being game changers, in light of all of the foregoing actions, it's not completely outside the realm of possibility that in the coming week or so there could be some type of unexpected news that interrupts or disrupts the process or even throws it into chaos.

Why? Because the eclipse conjuncts the USA's Uranus, which rules its 3rd house of news, information and communications. And more than that, in mundane (world events) astrology, the 3rd house rules the postal service, delivery and distribution systems and all of the ballots that were mailed in, dropped off or picked up from ballot boxes.

So with that being said, will the eclipse extinguish the lawsuits, or will it create turmoil? We'll all find out soon enough.
