The Earth’s shadow takes a bite of the Moon and gives it back.
In a partial lunar eclipse only part of the Moon enters the umbra; the rest stays in the faint penumbra. A dark, often reddish bite moves across her face over an hour or two and withdraws. Astrologers read the partial lunar eclipse with the weight of its depth: a Moon three-quarters covered is nearly a total, and a Moon barely grazed is nearly a penumbral.
A partial lunar in mid-Capricorn—a third of the Moon darkening, no more. A row of bodies in the plain clothes of training is moving through its exercises—not yet the thing they are training for, only the rehearsal. Some of your discipline is the uniform; some of it is the actual body beneath. The Moon shadows enough to show you the difference. What is still being practiced is asking to graduate from costume into self.

The tradition treats the weeks after as a time when a door that was not there before is found to be standing open, and it does not promise that walking through will be comfortable.
