The Moon at this moment will be in the fifth degree of Aquarius (the Sun, respectively, on the contrary - in Leo).

The shadow from the Earth illuminated by the Sun will completely cover the lunar disk from the observer located in certain places on the Earth.

This is one of the rare lunar eclipses when the Moon passes directly through the center of the earth's shadow.

Its total duration (including penumbra) will be more than 6 hours, partial phase - 4 hours, full phase (the Moon is completely hidden) - 103 minutes.

The maximum phase of the eclipse is 20:22 GMT.

On the territory of Eastern Europe, the Moon will be completely hidden also at the beginning of the next day - July 28.

Once again, we note that in astrology, eclipses are not considered exclusively negative phenomena.

Their influence is always limited and does not extend to all the inhabitants of the Earth.

Blood or red moon

This eclipse is called "bloody" because of the unusual color of the moon - in different regions you can see its different shades - from red to brown.

This optical effect is explained by the so-called. Rayleigh scattering of light during the period when the Earth, illuminated by the Sun from one side, begins to cast a shadow on the Moon, located on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun.

Rayleigh scattering is a phenomenon due to which we perceive the sky in blue and see sunsets and sunrises in shades of red.

Visibility of the eclipse from Earth

In the picture, we see that most of the European, African continent and Central Asia fall into the zone where the eclipse can be observed without interference.

The least fortunate were North America and the Far East.

In traditional astrology, it is believed that the effect of an eclipse is especially noticeable in those territories where it can be observed from the Earth.

In Kiev, the total phase of the eclipse will begin at 22:30 (moonrise at 20:40, but it will still be a partial phase) and will last until 00:13 on the 28th, after which the shadow from the Earth will begin to slowly slide from the lunar disk.

With clear weather, we have a chance to see a bright red Mars - literally next to the eclipse. To whom the next day is not at work - forward to the roof. Darkness is a friend of youth

And for those who like to contemplate the world through the monitor - a link to a live broadcast of the red eclipse (and red Mars nearby) from one of the roofs in the center of Rome. The camera will turn on at 18:30 UTC on the 27th

Astrological features of the eclipse July 27, 2018

In addition to the unusual duration, the location of the Moon in the very center of the Earth's shadow and its red hue, this eclipse has a number of other features.

  • As we have noted, it occurs in exact conjunction with Mars.
  • The moon will be at its apogee (the point farthest from Earth). In astrological programs, the apogee of the Moon is indicated by the so-called. The Black Moon, visually this is easily determined - the Black Moon will be next to the eclipse, at the end of Capricorn.
  • The eclipse will occur in degrees from the South Node (Sun at the North Node, respectively).
  • Uranus is square to the axis of the eclipse and to Mars

That is, a clearly extraordinary eclipse awaits us, and not only in terms of entertainment, but also in terms of the sum of unusual astrological factors.

Map of the moment of the culmination of the lunar eclipse 07/27/2018

Any full moon is full of emotions. In the case of a total lunar eclipse, emotionality is painted in darker tones, something that would be better manifested goes deep, processes go on inside, and this is not good.

The axis of the eclipse closes the tau-square with Uranus at the top. To the aggressiveness of retro-Mars, the excitability and hysteria of Uranus is added. Anger and anger that we have suppressed until now is trying to break out. Those whose eclipse "clings" the natal chart are guaranteed at least a couple of sleepless nights, sudden mood swings and nervous moments in relationships with others.

Here, emotionality can manifest itself impulsively, spasmodically and in unusual, often destructive forms.

The opposition Sun-Moon (full moon) always emphasizes the interaction/confrontation of the male and female principles. In the event of our eclipse and taking into account its aspects, the confrontation may take the form of a war, or at least local skirmishes.

Sudden changes in the sphere of relationships, especially close ones, emotional outbursts and more or less long breaks should not be surprising.

And if there are conflicts outside world, including the family, we can still somehow avoid, then the internal psychological axis “male-female” cannot be gone anywhere. The internal conflict is projected outside, the external triggers internal mechanisms. This vicious circle can be broken, perhaps, only by rising to a higher level of awareness, accepting changes not as troubles, but as an incentive for development, upward movement, growth.

Actually, why do we dislike (and often fear) eclipses. Because they disrupt the usual course of things, shift something in our lives. Often these shifts occur against our will and are violent. Any way out of the comfort zone is a risk, because it can get worse. On the other hand, to freeze without movement in your cozy, predictable corner is a guaranteed degradation.

Therefore, it may be worth taking a philosophical position and thinking whether we are freezing like a fly caught in sweet jelly, whether external blows and internal anxieties and contradictions are a signal that it is time to change something. Yes, change brings a sense of discomfort, and often real trouble and drama. But the order of things in the world is such that everything must move. And if we ourselves do not want this, then incentives come from outside.

The good news is that the trine of the traditional ruler of the eclipse of Saturn to Uranus makes it possible to take just such a position and “turn” the situation in a constructive direction, even if it seems unfavorable.

From the bad - no matter how we philosophize, Uranus at the top of the tau-square is unlikely to make these incentives pleasant and for people whose natal chart is affected by the eclipse, a tense period cannot be avoided.

At the physical level, the sensitive group is very likely to exacerbate nervous and mental illnesses, conflict in behavior and unmotivated aggressiveness. We can observe (we are already observing) an increase in injuries, the number of severe accidents, man-made accidents and natural disasters (remember that eclipses this summer follow one after another).

In addition to the stabilizing influence of Saturn in its abode, one should also note the connection of the eclipse with the fixed star Oculus (the right eye of Capricorn). And although the stars of this constellation, as a rule, bring fear, panic and other uncontrollable things, the Oculus rationalizes all this, stabilizes and makes it possible to comprehend. And the translation of the dark and gloomy into the mainstream of consciousness, as we know, in itself gives 50%+ on the way to victory.

Regarding the location of the eclipse exactly on the axis of the lunar nodes and the apogee of the Moon (Black Moon) - I would not dramatize and attribute additional negative significance to these factors. Rather, this speaks of the power of the eclipse as such, of its extraordinary nature and pronounced, clearly visible influence.

Eclipse and Saros cycles by Brady

Brady's description of the family of eclipses, to which our lunar eclipse belongs, only emphasizes the importance and significance of the specific aspects described above, which take shape on the evening of the 27th and the location of the eclipse in the chart.

Therefore, we read especially carefully:

This eclipse belongs to the 2N (old) series and has the following general characteristics:

“This is a difficult eclipse family, as its members bring unfortunate news regarding friendships or relationships. You will be dealing with ideas of separation or ending unions. However, while the picture may look bleak as long as the eclipse is in effect, the real results are quite positive. You will quickly become aware of what needs to be done, and quick action can bring good results. The theme of these eclipses is actions concerning personal relationships.”

Who should pay special attention to the lunar eclipse on January 31, 2018

First of all - to people born on January 24-25 and July 27-28 plus or minus three days. As well as those born on April 22-23 and October 25-26 and everyone whose personal planets and important natal points are located in 2-6 degrees of fixed signs (Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio).

The period between the eclipses of July 13 (Solar Eclipse in Cancer), July 27, 2018 (Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius) and August 11, 2018 (Solar Eclipse in Leo) is a special time. This is the time of the manifestation of Destiny, when each person gets what he deserves - be it positive or negative.
It is also a time when the karmic knots of the past can be untied easier and faster than usual. Although it is worth saying that during this period, karmic knots are also easily tied for the future, especially if we refuse awareness these days, responsibility for ourselves and for our actions.

Between two eclipses, the inevitable events of life occur, our life takes on a fatal connotation. And, if at other times we defend our position of “freedom of choice”, then in the Eclipse Corridor the fatality factor increases, and life acquires a Fateful influence. Both bad and good can happen. Every decision we make during this period of time is sure to have a powerful impact on our future.

The factor of the importance of events at this time increases several times, so in the "Eclipse Corridor" you need to closely monitor what is happening, observe your inner rhythm and listen to your feelings. Trust your intuition more and don't forget your inner voice. Before you make any decision or take on a new business, think carefully - what will you attract into your life? How much do you need it? Take your time, listen to yourself and weigh the pros and cons well. Do only what you are sure of. After all, the events that happened in the “corridor” CANNOT be changed!

Care should be taken in everything, it is advisable to reschedule important meetings. If you quit at this time, then you will have to look for a new job for a very long time. During the eclipse period, the number of legal disputes and open conflicts increases sharply, so it is not recommended to make cardinal decisions at this time.

You need to be patient and try not to get hit Negative influence the period when they will intensify: the desire to take revenge, destroy the enemy or competitor; the desire to do everything in your own way, even to the detriment of yourself; thirst for enrichment at any cost.

During the time between eclipses, it is better to refrain from investing in any projects. It is desirable at this time to accumulate funds and repay debts.

The emotional background during this period is unstable, and logic can come to the rescue with a significant delay. Therefore, those who are prone to impulsiveness, harshness and rash acts should try to take care of themselves and their loved ones. If you decide to break off relations with someone forever - quarrel in the " eclipse corridor"And consider that everything between you is over forever. Subsequently, such relationships are almost impossible to restore.

Watch the quality of food: in the "corridor of eclipses" the risk of poisoning is increased. In the medical aspect, the eyes, ears and head are adversely affected. Do not overstrain the organs of vision, try not to overcool and avoid drafts. There may be a deterioration in health status in people with chronic diseases or diseases of the cardiovascular system.

Allow yourself a good rest and wellness procedures during this period, relax in a pleasant and always familiar society. It will be useful to create energy messages for healing from diseases, rejuvenation, and giving up bad habits. And remember that all the events that took place in the "eclipse corridor" take on a fatal character, and in the future will have a great impact on your life. Therefore, be wise and try in every possible way to harmonize the environment.

July 20, July 27 and August 4 are the so-called "Midpoints" between eclipses. This is the moment of truth, in which secret deeds and covert errors emerge unexpectedly, resulting from confusion or oversight.

The middle point is the point of calm, the point of complete non-action, ignorance, incomprehensibility and unpredictability. This is the point of almost zero fate, the zeroing of fate. At the middle points, one should be prepared for the most unexpected "gifts of fate", because regardless of the quality of the events taking place on this day - good or bad, they carry the dynamics of a blow. It is during this period that any technical and social system most often fails, it is at this time that the fulfillment of the most unrealizable desire is possible. Planning for the middle point is useless, because on such a day things can turn out completely differently, not the way you expected.

How to behave on such special days? Refuse any coding and rigid planning. But, for example, at the middle point, you can afford to do what you think you will never and never succeed. The middle point energizes only the most incredible events. She does not favor the planned and predictable. But you can take a chance at this time, play with fate. Our life is full of mysticism and secrets, and such strange moments of the year become an opportunity for us to change something in life, even if we don’t believe it too much.

But remember that the results of cases started at the middle points, and the consequences of these cases, can be opposite, exactly the opposite. The probability of some unpredictable accidents that can dramatically change the course of things is very high. This is a time of confusion, confusion, chaos. Increased attention to everything is required, try to be in the flow of events and respond as flexibly as possible to changing circumstances. There is a possibility of catastrophes. Therefore, it is better to refuse vital decisions and undertakings at this time. Especially attentive should be people who were born during the eclipse.

Those born on the middle point often have an unpredictable and unreadable horoscope. For such a person, the horoscope may not work, it will be difficult to predict something with accuracy. Such people should take a guide to the cosmogram, to the highest program of their soul. Such people always have more choice, but in their lives there are more accidents.

If the Solar falls on the middle point: get ready, the year will be enchanting, unexpected events and blind cases may occur; life in many areas begins with a clean slate. Processes are reset, something has to be started anew. Your hands are untied, you become freer. It is very difficult to predict the number of alternatives that a person has. These years are full of surprises. What happens is that the person himself does not expect, or the scenario is possible exactly the opposite.

If you have a desire to make an individual horoscope, then write to the administrator of the site or social network.

MOSCOW, July 27 - RIA Novosti. A unique astronomical phenomenon - the longest total eclipse of the Moon in the XXI century, which will coincide in time with the Great opposition of Mars with the Sun, will occur on Friday. It can be observed throughout Russia.

Mars will approach the Earth at a minimum distance, become brighter than Jupiter and yield in brilliance only to the Sun, Moon and Venus. In the sky, it will stand out with a bright orange color. The next Great Opposition of Mars will not occur until September 15, 2035. In turn, the duration of the total lunar eclipse will be three hours and 56 minutes (from 21:24 Moscow time to 01:20 Moscow time), and the total phase will last one hour and 43 minutes (from 22:30 Moscow time to 00:13 Moscow time).

"During the full phase, the Moon will completely enter the Earth's shadow and acquire a purple-red hue," astronomers of the Moscow Planetarium note.

The Moon is expected to pass through the center of the Earth's shadow. This will be the first central lunar eclipse since June 15, 2011. It occurs near the apogee, when the Moon's disk is minimal, so the eclipse will be the longest in the 21st century. By the rarest coincidence, Mars on the day of the eclipse passes the point of great confrontation with the Sun. Both luminaries during the eclipse will be located close to each other on the southeastern horizon.

In total, 225 lunar eclipses will occur in the 21st century, of which 85 are total, and of these totals, only six last more than three and a half hours. The longest and most spectacular will be the total eclipse on July 27, 2018.

Where to watch in Russia

The total lunar eclipse of July 27, 2018 is one of the most interesting and favorable for observations in the European part of Russia for several years. Despite the short summer night, the phenomenon will be visible from beginning to end, and only in the northwestern regions will the Moon rise above the horizon in the initial phases of the eclipse. The full phase will also be clearly visible in Western Siberia, and its beginning will reach Lake Baikal.

The best conditions for observing this eclipse from the territory of Russia will come in the North Caucasus, the Caspian lowland and the Southern Urals. There, the phenomenon will culminate around local midnight and be visible over 20 degrees above the horizon. In the central regions of Russia, the Moon will be visible at a lower altitude, astronomers of the Moscow Planetarium specify.

The initial partial phases of the eclipse are available for observation on the morning of July 28, even in the Far East. The eclipse will not be visible only in the northern part of Siberia.

Visibility in Moscow

In Moscow, the full moon will rise over the southeastern horizon after 21:00 Moscow time, having already begun to sink into the penumbra of the Earth. An hour later, at 22:00 Moscow time, bright red Mars will appear there after it. At the time of the maximum phase of the eclipse, at 23:30 Moscow time, the Moon will be 14 degrees above the horizon, and Mars - six to seven degrees below, at the southern horizon. Both luminaries will be located in the constellation of Capricorn, have a red color and probably a similar brightness, representing a rare sight.

The celestial performance on July 27, 2018 will be visible to the naked eye, but with binoculars and a telescope it will be possible to distinguish surface elements of both luminaries. The most important condition is clear, cloudless weather.

How will the eclipse

On Friday at 20:15 Moscow time, the Moon will touch the earth's penumbra - at this time, a penumbral eclipse will begin. It is hardly visible to the naked eye, especially at low phases, but as you approach the edge of the Earth's shadow, the darkening becomes more and more noticeable. At 21:24 Moscow time, the Moon will completely plunge into the earth's penumbra and touch the earth's shadow - the beginning of a partial eclipse; at this time, the darkening of the eastern lunar limb will already be clearly visible. The moon will begin to sink into the shadow of the Earth.

At 22:30 Moscow time, the Moon will completely plunge into the earth's shadow - at this time, a total eclipse will begin. Depending on the state of the atmosphere and some other factors, the darkening of the lunar disk during a total eclipse may differ from other total lunar eclipses. It can be very dark, when the Moon is almost invisible in the night sky, or it can be bright, when the Moon is clearly visible even at full phase.

At 23:22 Moscow time, the maximum phase of the total eclipse begins - a third of the moon's disk will be below the center of the earth's shadow; at this moment, the darkening (redness) of our companion is maximum. The moon will be in the earth's shadow for more than an hour (103 minutes). At 00:13 Moscow time, the Moon begins to emerge from the Earth's shadow - the end of the total eclipse and the beginning of its partial phases. Gradually becoming brighter, the eclipsed lunar disk will take on phases similar to the phases of the moon during the month, but they will only change much faster.

At 01:19 Moscow time, the Moon will completely leave the Earth's shadow - the end of partial phases and the beginning of a penumbral eclipse. At 02:29 Moscow time, the Moon will completely leave the earth's penumbra - the end of the eclipse, the night star will shine again in full force.

Where else can you see

The eclipse on July 27 will be fully visible from East Africa and Central and South Asia, as well as Antarctica. In South America, West Africa and Europe, the eclipse will begin at moonrise, in East Asia and Australia, on the contrary, at sunset. In North America, the eclipse will not be visible at all.

During a total eclipse, the Moon takes on a reddish or brownish hue. The color depends on the state of the upper layers of the earth's atmosphere. The total lunar eclipse of July 6, 1982 had a reddish hue, January 20-21, 2000 - brown. These colors are due to the fact that the earth's atmosphere scatters red rays more, so you can never see a blue or green lunar eclipse.

Oh Almighty, when I lose hope, help me remember that your love is greater than my disappointment and your plans for my life are better than my dreams. Omar Khayyam

When God solves your problems
you believe in His ability.
When God doesn't solve your problems
He believes in your abilities.

The secret of a good relationship is the right dosage of your presence in everyone's personal space.

0 harsh quotes by psychologist Mikhail Labkovsky about healthy love and neuroses

1. A healthy person does not want to get married. The first thing you should do is stop wanting to get married. In other words, if you want to get married, you need to stop thinking about it, devalue the very idea.

2. The key to a happy family life, marriage and sex with one partner is only in one thing - in a stable psyche. No concessions, no compromises - this is all a direct road to a cardiologist or oncologist. When a person has a stable psyche, he can live with one partner all his life. And love him alone.

3. People are not loved because they bend. A woman will be just an empty place for a man if you can’t say about her who she is, what she is and what she likes for breakfast. The paradox lies in the fact that men simply adore bitchy women.

4. The reason for women's problems is not that he behaves like a goat. The reason is that she has a neurosis that needs an outlet. And for this way out, you need a certain person and a relationship in which she could suffer. Therefore, she specifically enters into such relationships, because she has a mental need for this since childhood.

5. We measure love by the level of suffering. And healthy love is about how happy you are.

6. When a flight attendant demonstrates life-saving equipment to you, what does she say about oxygen masks? “If you are traveling with a child, provide a mask first for yourself, then for the child.” This is the whole point. Everyone is trying to help the child, remaining an absolute psycho. So it doesn't work. If you want the child to feel good, first do something with your head.

7. Men are so arranged that since the time of their mother they approach only those who give them approval with their eyes. A healthy man is like a child. He approaches when a woman smiles at him, looks into his eyes ...

8. Healthy people always choose themselves, and neurotics choose relationships to the detriment of themselves, and this is the main difference.

9. A woman should never tolerate in a relationship what she doesn't like. She should immediately talk about it, and if the man does not change, she should part with him.

10. Men, like children, like it when a woman has a character.

11. If a person replaces the whole world for another person, this means that he simply does not have his own world.

12. Loneliness is not the absence of love around. This is a lack of interest in oneself, and from childhood.

13. As for the search for a partner, I’ll tell you, but who should I look for? The only quality that your partner can have is that he clings to you. Everything else does not play any role at all. If you love him, worry about him, worry - then there are no "bars".

14. What do you need to do to get married? And all you need to do is just one thing - to be yourself. It's enough. And they love in principle only for this.

15. Do you know what is the fundamental difference between a healthy person and a neurotic? A healthy person also suffers, but from real stories. And the neurotic suffers from imaginary stories. And if suffering is not enough, he still catches up with his beloved Kafka, Dostoevsky and a bottle.

16. If you don't like how a man behaves, don't look for excuses for his behavior. A situation in which “he didn’t call back” for a healthy girl means the end of a relationship, for an unhealthy one, the beginning of love.

17. As the writer Christopher Buckley (author of the novel Thank you for smoking, there is another film like that) said, you should not eat at a restaurant called “Like Mom” and go to bed with a woman who has more problems than you.

18. Modesty does not adorn anyone. Due to complexes, insecurity and low self-esteem, a girl lives without sex and relationships, not because she is scary, but because she treats herself badly. The task of the psychologist is to save her from this.

19. Family therapy is a scam. Only one type of family therapy I consider really useful - the mediation of a psychologist in a divorce. But it is precisely this that is not practiced in Russia.

20. The only time in a person's life when he is objectively dependent and when he can be considered a hostage is childhood and dependence on parents. It lasts for a relatively short time. In other cases, staying in any relationship is the choice of an adult.

I want a lot of things at once. It's hard to know if we need it. There are ethical questions, it is difficult to prioritize. The situation turns in different directions, and you can not decide on your place. Information comes from different sources, resulting in confusion.

We learn to distinguish feelings from vivid emotions that come to us from different places. We find time for pleasant activities and spending time with loved ones, but we do not avoid our duties.

Perhaps in some situations you will have to be a warrior in order to defend your interests or the interests of people close to us. It is important to keep your territory intact.

We remember that everyone has their own truth, everyone can see the situation from their own point of view, and it is important for us not to go to extremes, listening to different opinions, we keep our inner core and at the same time look at what is happening from above.

Pride is contraindicated. We learn to distinguish pride and respectful attitudes from bragging and pride.

Nature gives us its gifts, we learn to be grateful to her for it.

Good luck to us!

It was in Japan. One of the capital's newspapers in Tokyo placed an ad with the following content: “Parents for sale: father is 70 years old, and mother is 65 years old. The price is 1,000 yen, not one yen less!”

People who read this strange announcement were surprised: “Well, the times have come! Children are already selling their parents.” Others added: “How do the authorities allow this?!” Well, this ad made a splash. It was discussed at home and on the street, like a sensation.

The newspaper with the announcement fell into the hands of a young family who recently buried their beloved parents who died in a car accident. They were in mourning, and someone's desire to sell their parents looked blasphemous to them. They imagined how unhappy parents might feel in this situation. What can they expect from such children? They decided to ransom the old people and surround them with their love.

They took the required amount and went to the specified address. When the couple arrived at the place, they saw a luxurious villa, immersed in flowers. They thought there was a mistake in the ad, but they decided to call anyway.

They were opened by an elderly gentleman with a pleasant smile. They talked about the ad in the newspaper, that they had lost their parents and decided to buy an elderly couple. They apologized for disturbing the master, because, apparently, they had the wrong address.

- No, you are not mistaken, come in! - invited the excited old man. “Now I will call my wife.

He quickly returned with his wife and began to explain:

You see, we are the owners of this house. We also have other valuable property. We have no children, and we would like to leave all this wealth good people. Here is the announcement we made. We decided that only a worthy person would respond to him. To be honest, we doubted that there would be a merchant for such goods. Your desire does honor to you, and brought joy to us. We are sure that you are the people to whom we can leave everything acquired.
