The lunar eclipse that will soon pass over much of the Earth is going to be the longest this century.
It will cover almost the entire world, meaning that people nearly everywhere will be able to see it.
The event begins on 27 July. The maximum eclipse happens will last for about 50 minutes – but it will be partially visible for a long time either side of that moment.
North America is the only continent where the eclipse will not be visible at all. For everyone else, it should be at least a little visible – how much of it you will see depends where you are.
The total lunar eclipse that we are expecting on July 27th will be the longest lunar eclipse of the 21st century, and it coincides with the Full Blood Moon.
A total lunar occurs when the Earth comes between the moon and the sun, creating a shadow as it blocks the sun’s rays from reflecting off the moon’s surface. At the point of total eclipse, the entire moon is covered by this shadow, leaving it completely black and void of any light. The entire process is expected to last around 4 hours and that's a long time compared to the last total lunar eclipse on January 31st, 2018. That one lasted a total of 1 hour and 16 minutes.
This length is significant due to the fact it is going to intensify the energy shift. A lunar eclipse brings about a focus on the the darker side of our personality.
This energy will combine with that of the Full Blood Moon, further strengthening the feelings and emotions that you will experience. This will be a time where our thoughts, feelings, and emotions are at their strongest. It is for this reason that many associate the full moon with chaos, as many find themselves overwhelmed by these emotions, making rash and impulsive decisions.
When faced with intense negative feelings, take a step back and quiet your mind.
This is an opportunity to examine some of your darker qualities and personality traits so a to grow and evolve into a better version of yourself.
