This is a Partial Full Moon Lunar Eclipse with the Sun in Cancer and the Moon in Capricorn.

If you pay attention to the news around the time of an eclipse you will probably notice an increase in newsworthy stories. Here in Australia Prime Minister Kevin Rudd was forced to step down in favor of his deputy, Julia Gillard, creating Australia's first female leader. In the United States, General McChrystal was forced to resign as commander of the NATO-led force as President Obama chooses the new commander, General Petraeus. Sadly we watch the disaster of the Gulf of Mexico continuing to unfold. We are also seeing fans across the world pay their respects to Michael Jackson on the first anniversary of his death. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwrSVDRP-2Y
On a personal level, this is a wonderful time to reconnect with who you really are and step into your life's purpose. Reconnect, reestablish, and emerge. Have a beautiful moon viewing! Lille
