Full Lunar Eclipse in Leo 10th February 2017 & Jupiter Retrograde in Libra 6th Feb until 9th June 2017

Jupiter turned Retrograde on Monday 6th February in Libra (planet of balance and justice) and will remain Retrograde until 9th June 2017. Remember Retrograde planets are about re visiting or going inwards, although Jupiter is an outward, future orientated planet linked to good fortune, philosophy, growth and expansion. Jupiter can be greedy, addictive, excessive or prone to exaggeration. So this Jupiter Retrograde period could be a positive time or opportunity to look within, to learn lessons with wisdom and grace, to open mindedly re evaluate our beliefs or philosophies, to recognise or re address any out of control habits which could be worked on and moved forward with, especially when Jupiter goes direct from June up until September even. Be aware though if goals are unrealistic, greedy or deceitful during this Retrograde period this could result in loss or disappointment. The Moon has been waxing for the last several days and will be at it's fullest on Friday 10th February at 22 degrees, 12.32 am UK time. It is a Full Lunar Eclipse where the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun. Lunar eclipses can be three times more powerful than a Full Moon and it's influences can potentially be experienced up to three months after. Lunar Eclipses are a great time for cathartic experiences for releasing and clearing, for cleansing and detoxifying. As always it really depends on your personal birth chart and where this Lunar Eclipse transits natally. Crazy or vivid dreams, bad sleep, extreme emotions, increased sensitivity etc is likely for most people. As Leo is a creative, proud, playful, generous, courageous, enthusiastic, organised sign, people could demonstrate these characteristics if they're effected by this Full Moon but on the flip side Leo energy can be pompous, bossy, patriotic, snobbish, conceited and ego driven. This Lunar Eclipse in Leo is in a positive grand fire trine with Saturn in Sagittarius and Uranus in Aries so exciting surprises are possible (from the Moon trine Uranus) courage can be fortified (from the Moon trine Saturn) a desire for excitement, drama, innovation or rebellion is possible (from Moon trine Uranus) but overall with this Full Lunar Eclipse in Leo and Jupiter Retrograde in Libra, a drive for truth, wisdom and enlightenment will shine through for many over the coming months. There will be a Solar Eclipse in Leo on 21st August so many positive changes could occur from now until then. The next eclipse is a Solar one in Pisces on 26th February which will be a lovely healing, compassionate, intuitive one which should help many move forward after experiencing a flair up of old wounds or painful memories from the past being re opened even psychologically (Chiron conjunct South Node in Pisces)
