Planetary Transits & Cosmic Interplay for the week of July 29–Aug 4

At this time in the sky, we have Mars and Ketu conjunct in the sign of Aquarius.  This can bring about a time of deep psychological exploration or inhibited energy resulting in frustration, or even possibly make real estate a focus.  To further understand why this is the case, let’s explore the energies of these two planets. 

This week is a very special week as it contains the total lunar eclipse which will occur on the evening of Friday July 27 and/or early Saturday July 28 as it is only visible at night time.  This is because the Moon is what is being eclipsed and since the Moon is full it only rises after sunset.  Before we dive further into exploring this eclipse, let’s discuss what an eclipse is and how it comes to be.
