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 early Taurus—the Moon lightly shadowed over nearly the whole world, no spectacle for the eye. You have come to an old well that you did not know was ancestral—a source that has been in your family or your lineage longer than you knew. A stranger is already there, and what the stranger says cannot be argued with. Some of what you have been savoring has been drawn from the same well for a long time; it was sweet while it was. Let the slow unhanding be slow.
An eclipse at the South Node: the Dragon’s Tail, which lets the light go and takes what was finished with it.
This eclipse falls near the South Node, at 6°47′ Taurus, the degree whose image is a woman comes to the old well in the heat of the day, and a stranger is waiting there. Astrologers read South Node eclipses as releases: what they take is familiar, sometimes clung to, and already spent. The tradition treats the weeks after as a time when something leaves that was going to leave anyway, and it counsels letting it, since what the Tail takes it does not give back.
6°47′ Taurus, the seventh degree. A woman comes to the old well in the heat of the day, and a stranger is waiting there.
Every eclipse has a family. Its elders came eighteen years before, a third of the world to the west.
