The November 2022 Lunar Eclipse Will Disrupt Every Zodiac Sign
You’ll be both shaken *and* stirred.
If Christmas Queen Mariah Carey is anyone to go by, the holiday season is in full swing. Taste-testing dessert recipes and wishlisting everything on TikTok are part of everyone’s daily activities at the moment. But before the festivities officially begin, the cosmos have one final *big* event in store: the November 2022 full moon lunar eclipse, which will disrupt every zodiac sign ahead of the most wonderful time of the year.
Eclipses are events that always occur in twos. (Think of them as one new and full moon.) October’s solar eclipse in Scorpio brought forth powerful new beginnings regarding releasing fear, caution, and emotional control. The November lunar eclipse is preparing to finish the job, affecting every sign’s desire for comfort, solace, and stability. Let’s just say, it won’t exactly be peaceful at first.
What Is A Lunar Eclipse?
A lunar eclipse occurs during the full moon phase, when the sun and moon are in exact opposite signs. The eclipse affect is caused by Earth positioning itself between the sun and the moon, causing a shadow to be cast across the moon’s surface, which causes it to take on a reddish-orange hue. Eclipses are pretty rare events, only occurring about three to four times a year, so they tend to be pretty impactful events. Since lunar eclipses in particular resemble full moons, they tend to bring themes that were previously hidden to light.
Eclipses are usually stressful, so they don’t typically mark a time that calls for action. (Thank god there won’t be another impactful lunation like this until next spring.) Instead, sit back and pay attention to what the eclipse reveals to you.
