A shadow so faint the Moon only seems tired, and only to those who know her face well enough to notice.
In a penumbral lunar eclipse the Moon passes through the Earth’s outer shadow and never touches the umbra. She dims a little, sometimes with a soft shading along one edge, and most people looking up would not know anything was happening. Astrologers count it as an eclipse because it falls at a node and belongs to a season, but they read it as the lightest of all, a Full Moon with a whisper of emphasis.
A penumbral lunar in mid-Scorpio—faint to the eye, far from faint to the inner weather. Something in you has been quietly pregnant with itself for some time, conceived by no one, answerable to no one but the thing being made. Some births do not need to be dramatic to be decisive. A slight darkening can be enough for the long-held thing to become ready to be born.
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 16°31′ Scorpio, the degree whose image is a woman made pregnant by her own spirit, heavy now with what is coming to birth. 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.
16°31′ Scorpio, the seventeenth degree. A woman made pregnant by her own spirit, heavy now with what is coming to birth.
Every eclipse has a family. Its elders came eighteen years before, a third of the world to the west.
