November 2022 lunar eclipse: What to expect and how it will affect your zodiac

You may have heard that there will be a lunar eclipse tonight, on Loy Krathong night. But have you wondered how this Blood Moon will affect your zodiac sign? Read on for our findings.

As we enter the joyous holiday season, leaving behind the horrors of Halloween, certain astrological events seem to hold on to the spooky elements in early November 2022. We are quite literally in the middle of the autumn eclipse season, and the total lunar eclipse, also known as Blood Moon or Beaver Moon, on 8 November can impact the various zodiac signs differently.

While the autumn leg of the astrological events in 2022 started with a partial solar eclipse on 25 October, a full lunar eclipse will take place on 8 November. This has its own effects on zodiac signs but serves as a good opportunity to take stock of certain things and be mindful, and some precautions can easily help you sail through this Blood Moon period.

All about the Blood Moon 2022 and its impact on different zodiac signs

What to expect from this lunar eclipse?

This is the last eclipse until 2023 and will begin at 05:17 am EST (5.17 pm Thailand time) and end at 6:42 am EST (6.42pm Thailand time). A partial eclipse will then be visible until 8:05 am EST (8.05 pm Thailand time). The moon will be under the Earth’s shadow for a full 85 minutes and take on a reddish tinge, which imparts the moniker Blood Moon.

This time, the brightest lunar eclipse is expected to be a period of chaos and upheavals. It is also a time to assess material goods and connect with values to see what resonates best with your mindset. In terms of astrology, the four governing planets in focus are Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Uranus, making it a period of chaos and twisted ends which can compel you to make hasty decisions and feel insecure, especially when it comes to relationships.

The sun and Mercury come together on the 8 November morning, while Uranus, which opposes the first planet, connects in the evening. Such an event manifests its energy and helps the zodiacs get a clearer perspective. While on one hand, Uranus makes you break out from the norms and strive for independence as against a controlling Saturn, on the other hand, Mercury and Venus might make you do things that will make you happy and positive.
