Greatest eclipse is at June 26, 2029, 3:22 AM in your zone, with the Moon at 4°49′ Capricorn, near the North Node, 100 percent covered. Where it can be seen: total: Americas, Europe, Africa, west Asia. One of the longest totalities of the 21st century (1h 42m).
The whole Moon in the Earth’s shadow, red as a coal, for as long as an hour.
In a total lunar eclipse the whole Moon passes through the Earth’s umbra. She darkens from one edge, turns the deep red or copper that the newspapers call a blood Moon, holds that color for up to an hour and three quarters, and then brightens from the other edge. The color depends on the dust and cloud in the Earth’s air that night; after a large volcanic eruption the Moon can nearly vanish. Astrologers read the total lunar eclipse as the strongest of the lunar kind, a Full Moon’s revelation with nothing held back.
A total lunar in early Capricorn, with nearly two hours in full shadow—one of the longest lunar totalities of the century, the Moon red and held in Earth's shadow over the Atlantic basin. In some part of you, oars are striking water in time—a rhythm being gathered before an arriving crossing, a strength you are collecting for something you can feel but have not yet named. The structure that has been quietly holding you up is asking to be thanked. The structure that has been quietly weighing on you is asking to be readied for what comes next.
An eclipse at the North Node: the Dragon’s Head, the mouth that swallows the light to make room for something.
This eclipse falls near the North Node, at 4°49′ Capricorn, the degree whose image is travelers moving across a body of water with strong, ceremonial purpose. Astrologers read North Node eclipses as openings: what they bring is unfamiliar, sometimes unwanted, and pointed toward growth. 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.

Every eclipse has a family. Its elders came eighteen years before, a third of the world to the west.
