July 23 when the lunar eclipse. The Russians will be able to see the opposition of Mars and the total eclipse of the moon
MOSCOW, July 26 - RIA Novosti. A unique astronomical phenomenon - the longest total eclipse of the Moon in the 21st century, coinciding in time with the great opposition of Mars with the Sun, will occur on July 27, and it can be observed almost throughout Russia.
Mars will approach the Earth at a minimum distance, become brighter than Jupiter and yield in brilliance only to the Sun, Moon and Venus. In the sky, it will stand out with a bright orange color. The next great opposition of Mars will not happen until September 15, 2035.
The duration of the total lunar eclipse will be three hours and 56 minutes (from 21:24 Moscow time to 01:20 Moscow time), and the total phase will last one hour and 43 minutes (from 22:30 Moscow time to 00:13 Moscow time).
"The phenomenon will be clearly visible on almost the entire territory of Russia. During the full phase, the Moon will completely enter the Earth's shadow and acquire a crimson-red hue," astronomers of the Moscow Planetarium note.
The Moon is expected to pass through the center of the Earth's shadow. This will be the first central lunar eclipse since June 15, 2011. It occurs near the apogee, when the Moon's disk is minimal, so the eclipse will be the longest in the 21st century. By the rarest coincidence, Mars on the day of the eclipse passes the point of great confrontation with the Sun. Both luminaries during the eclipse will be located close to each other on the southeastern horizon.
In total, 225 lunar eclipses will occur in the 21st century, of which 85 are total, and of these totals, only six last more than three and a half hours.
Where to watch in Russia
The total lunar eclipse on July 27 is one of the most interesting and favorable for observations in the European part of Russia for several years. Despite the short summer night, the phenomenon will be visible from beginning to end, and only in the northwestern regions will the Moon rise above the horizon in the initial phases of the eclipse. The full phase will also be clearly visible in Western Siberia, and its beginning will reach Lake Baikal.
On the territory of Russia, it is best to observe this eclipse in the North Caucasus, the Caspian lowland and the Southern Urals. There, the largest phase of the eclipse will occur around local midnight and will be visible at a height of more than 20 degrees above the horizon. In the central regions of Russia, the Moon will be visible at a lower altitude, astronomers of the Moscow Planetarium specify.
The initial partial phases of the eclipse can be observed in the morning of July 28 even in the Far East of Russia. The eclipse will not be visible only in the northern part of Siberia.
Visibility in Moscow
In Moscow, the full moon will rise over the southeastern horizon after 21:00 Moscow time, having already begun to sink into the penumbra of the Earth. An hour later, at 22:00 Moscow time, bright red Mars will appear there after it. At the time of the maximum phase of the eclipse, at 23:30 Moscow time, the Moon will be 14 degrees above the horizon, and Mars will be visible six to seven degrees below the Moon at the southern horizon. Both luminaries will be located in the constellation of Capricorn, have a red color and probably a similar brightness, representing a rare sight.
The celestial performance will be visible to the naked eye, but with binoculars and a telescope, it will be possible to distinguish surface elements of both luminaries. The most important condition is clear, cloudless weather.
How will the eclipse
At 20:15 Moscow time, the Moon will touch the earth's penumbra, at which time a penumbral eclipse will begin. It is poorly visible to the naked eye, especially at low phases, but as you approach the edge of the Earth's shadow, the darkening will become more and more noticeable. At 21:24 Moscow time, the Moon will completely plunge into the earth's penumbra and touch the earth's shadow - the beginning of a partial eclipse; at this time, the darkening of the eastern lunar limb will already be clearly visible. The moon will begin to sink into the shadow of the Earth.
At 22:30 Moscow time, the Moon will completely plunge into the earth's shadow, at which time a total eclipse will begin. Depending on the state of the atmosphere and some other factors, the darkening of the lunar disk during a total eclipse may differ from other total lunar eclipses. It can be very dark, when the Moon is almost invisible in the night sky, or it can be bright, when the Moon is clearly visible even at full phase.
At 23:22 Moscow time, the maximum phase of the total eclipse begins - a third of the moon's disk will be below the center of the earth's shadow; at this moment, the darkening (redness) of our companion is maximum. The moon will be in the earth's shadow for more than an hour (103 minutes). At 00:13 Moscow time, the Moon begins to emerge from the shadow - the end of the total eclipse and the beginning of its partial phases. Gradually becoming brighter, the eclipsed lunar disk will take on phases similar to the phases of the moon during the month, but they will only change much faster.
At 01:19 Moscow time, the Moon completely leaves the Earth's shadow - the end of partial phases and the beginning of a penumbral eclipse. At 02:29 Moscow time, the Moon completely leaves the Earth's penumbra. End of the eclipse. The night star will shine again in full force.
Where else can you see
The eclipse on July 27 will be fully visible from East Africa and Central and South Asia, as well as Antarctica. In South America, West Africa and Europe, the eclipse will begin at moonrise, in East Asia and Australia, on the contrary, at sunset. In North America, the eclipse will not be visible at all.
During a total eclipse, the Moon takes on a reddish or brownish hue. The color of the eclipse depends on the state of the upper layers of the earth's atmosphere. The total lunar eclipse of July 6, 1982 had a reddish tint, January 20-21, 2000 - a brown tint.
The Moon acquires such colors during eclipses due to the fact that the earth's atmosphere scatters red rays more, so a blue or green lunar eclipse can never be observed.
Eclipse gives not opportunities, but illusions of opportunities to change your life for the better. From one desire, even made and spoken at the “right moment”, a person’s life will not change. When eclipses occur, there is no light in the world, just as it ceases to be present in the minds of people. Thus, people misunderstand what they really want. Also, they cannot objectively evaluate life, confusing causes with effects. Therefore, during eclipses and for some time before and after them, the consciousness of people is distorted, becomes clouded. During these periods, you need to act as carefully, prudently and calmly as possible. So, what will the upcoming total lunar eclipse on July 27, 2018 bring to representatives of various zodiac signs from the point of view of Vedic astrology.

It can be observed in Russia, Kazakhstan, Central, South and Southeast Asia, Africa, and to a lesser extent in Europe, Australia and western Latin America. Residents of these areas need to be especially careful. The main thing is not to observe the eclipse, literally - not to look at it.

In the eclipse, representatives of all signs of the zodiac are advised to remember that a person does not adequately perceive reality, his ideas do not correspond to the state of the world around him, which means that he commits inadequate actions. Therefore, during an eclipse, it is better to do nothing at all. After all, of all the options for action, a person will choose the wrong one. The only universal recommendation is meditation on the divine or prayer.
Seven days before and seven days after the eclipse - from July 20 to August 3 - you should not make important and long-term decisions. Do not conduct transactions, do not make big promises, avoid large purchases (movable / real estate), surgical operations are not favorable. Try not to get involved in emotional and psychological provocations in the family, with relatives, friends, colleagues, any partners. Negotiations, exams, important meetings should be canceled and rescheduled. Don't look at the moon.

July 27, 2018 total lunar eclipse
Why does the moon become bloody?
During a lunar eclipse, we see the full disk of the moon, because lunar eclipses only occur on full moons. But the shadow of the earth, falling on it, does not completely hide it, as does the disk of the Moon, covering the Sun during solar eclipses. A shadow gently glides across the moon by immersing it and changing its reflective light. As a result, the color of the Moon becomes reddish and even orange, but the Moon does not disappear from the sky at all, as it might seem.
Why is she so small?
In July, the full moon coincides with the lunar apogee. Apogee is the point farthest from the Earth, that is, the Moon on that day will be very far from earth and will seem very small and distant. Sometimes this moon is called micro moon.
Since the moon will be quite far away, its movement will be slower, which means that the earth's shadow will slide over it longer, lengthening the eclipse time to the maximum in this century.
It is worth saying that the longest lunar eclipse possible - just 5 minutes longer than an eclipse July 27, 2018. The last long eclipse took place July 16, 2000, and earlier July 26, 1953. As you can see, they were all in July!
Lunar eclipse July 27, 2018: impact
The lunar eclipse gives us indications of what in our lives we need to discard, discard, and clean up. Right after the eclipse The moon starts waning, taking with them all those things we do not need, all the garbage that we agreed to part with.
That is why lunar eclipses are so important, because it is near a lunar eclipse that it is easiest to FOREVER (!) get rid of addictions and bad habits, excess weight, from unwanted people in our lives, from fears and fears that destroy us.
The moon during the eclipse will be in sign of Aquarius. About 2 recent years eclipses were mainly on the Leo-Aquarius axis, so many will now have very important topics associated with these signs: the topics of self-realization, children, love and love relationships, creative themes, the themes of bringing one's personal creativity to the masses, to the public, the themes of like-minded groups and friendship.
It may well be that some events related to these topics began 2 years ago, when the first eclipse took place in the Leo-Aquarius cycle, and now this month and until the end of 2018 you will find completion of these events or take them to the next level.
For example, the time of the bouquet and candy period ends, the relationship flows into marital. Or you led some group in social networks, and now you want to close it, or vice versa: take it to a new level by launching advertising, and so on.
Or you started some kind of creative project, all these two years you have invested a lot of time and effort into it, and now you finally see the fruits or decide to change it, look at it from a new perspective. And so on. Examples could be, as always, a great many.
It is important to remember here: if you want to complete or finish something or change in a new capacity, better days than the days next to the lunar eclipse - not to be found! But it is also important to remember that around July 27 (at least give or take a few days) you should not take radically new solutions and start new things, even if your hands itch to start them. For example, you should not open a new company or register a marriage.
What will be done in the eclipse corridor (from July 13 to August 11) will be difficult to change. If you drop something, it will be almost impossible to return. So you better hold on tight to what don't want to lose forever!
Eclipse and opposition of Mars
Eclipse July 27, 2018 will occur with the participation in the configuration of two more planets, which will become quite disharmonious to the eclipse points and among themselves. Mars will be in conjunction with the Moon to make a square with Uranus, forming a tau square, and will be directly opposite the Sun. When Mars, Earth, and the Sun line up, it's called opposition. From an astrological point of view, for us, this means that the period next to the eclipse can be quite destructive and stressful.
The astrological configuration at the time of the eclipse indicates that parting with the past and getting rid of garbage will not be easy and simple for everyone. It is likely that situations will interfere in your life very abruptly and unexpectedly, it is difficult to predict the outcome of events and how life can turn.
Mars with Uranus have a destructive nature, very unpredictable and impulsive, therefore risks of various drastic problems with health, accidents and natural disasters during this period are quite high. These risks will still remain in the next few weeks, and after August 11, 2018 are already on the decline.
Uranus in this configuration indicates that the way out of any difficult situation that this eclipse can turn on must be sought in the new, unknown, in the non-standard. You may need to change before you move on from the old or approach problem solving. in an original and unexpected way.

Blood Moon and Lunar Eclipse July 2018: Date and Time
- Moscow - July 27, 23:22
- Los Angeles - July 27, 13:20

- Sydney - July 28, 6:20 am
The fact that this eclipse lasts for about an hour and forty-three minutes is evidence that miracles do exist. The Moon takes four hours to gather around Earth's dark umbral shadow because the partial eclipse precedes and reaches the initial eclipse by almost an hour.
This results in a much longer period of the Moon being in darkness. Four hours is a long period of time considering the Moon only takes 24 hours to orbit our planet. Uniquely, the Moon will not be completely obscured by Earth's shadow, but will take on a deep red or orange image representing the planet Venus or the planet Mars.
This effect is called the Rayleigh effect, and it results in the filtering of green and violet light bands in the resulting stratosphere or troposphere. Interestingly, Rayleigh scattering of light is also useful for the color of the skies, the fading embers of sunlight lighting up the sky and turning it into bright colors, and blue eyes.

Lunar Eclipse July 2018: Astrology 
The total lunar eclipse in July will be in conjunction with the planet Mars. The fiery red planet makes it an emotionally complex eclipse. The test square aspect to Uranus makes the heated emotions more impulsive, but they are somewhat softened by Saturn's mild semi-sectile aspect.
In July 2018, the eclipse of the Moon and Mars are located in the Constellation of Capricorn. A number of fixed stars in the area give patience and trust, but also emotional challenges that will exacerbate the unbalanced emotions of the Moon and Mars in Uranus Square.
Lunar Eclipse: Aspects
The conjunction of the Moon and Mars is the strongest influence on the lunar eclipse, it will make you feel strong, sexy and bold. Your quick instincts and fighting spirit can be used to protect your home and family. However, it will be difficult to control your strong emotions. If you start to feel irritable, impatient, overbearing, or angry, this is a signal to cool off and try to relax. Bad mood or irrational actions - that's what awaits you if you stay in an excited state. If you can't calm down, try directing your energy towards something or someone you really care about. It can be either house cleaning or an invigorating massage for a loved one, a vector, I hope you get the idea.
Mars retrograde creates excitability, bursts of sexual tension that are difficult to express. This astrological aspect means that it is worth thinking a thousand times before taking action, not succumbing to strong desires and impulses. Such an experience can be painful, but necessary so that you do not make an irreparable or serious mistake. You may have already had to deal with the destructive manifestations of Mars, such as anger, rage, violence or sexual abuse. In this case, events will line up in such a way that you will be forced to admit that you do not control your anger, this can also be a very sensitive unpleasant experience.
The square of the Moon and Uranus can cause impulsiveness and sharp mood swings. You can feel nervous and endure anything that requires you to be committed or focused. Rebellion and aggression will arise against those who try to bind or force something to be done. Uranus calms the situation, bringing an unsettling feeling or anticipation of something new. This is not a good period for sudden changes, especially in close relationships. There may be emotional outbursts among friends or family members. Any natural instincts and reactions will be emotionally difficult.
The semi-sextile of the Moon and Saturn makes you feel protected from your family and partner. Saturn will soften your emotions and make it easier to calm down. This aspect gives care, patience and responsible attitude. Feelings of commitment, respect, and family loyalty may not be as strong as your anger and resentment, but they can prevent you from taking rash actions that you will soon regret.
The square of Mars and Uranus gives a strong thirst for liberation from limitations and rebel against managers and authorities. The desire to act irresponsibly without thinking about the consequences can lead to great destruction in life. Awareness of this dynamic energy can instead lead to inventive and creative breakthroughs and a vibrant personal life. You cannot contain this unstable energy, so you must express your crazy, creative or inventive side in a safe environment. An original look can lead to creative radiance or scientific breakthroughs, but you must avoid impulsive actions and calculate dangerous risks.
Trine Saturn Uranus is a transitional stage in life, this aspect leads to emotional less stable and strong upheavals and changes caused by the eclipse of the Moon, and this helps to remain calm and patient. You can take the initiative at work, start the necessary changes and gain respect and recognition from your superiors, more responsibility, while still having enough freedom to solve this problem in your own way.
Even though this eclipse falls in the sign of Aquarius, the Moon is in the Constellation of Capricorn. Since our horoscope was invented over 2000 years ago, the Signs have moved almost 30 degrees due to the alignment of the constellations named by it. The precession of the Equinoxes is the cause of this inherent error in our zodiac. Therefore, for astrological meaning, I use fixed stars, not the signs of the Sun. The Star of Aljedi gives blessings, sacrifices and offerings. Mars with Aldzhedi causes suddenness, aggression and a sea of \u200b\u200bcriticism. Both Aljedi and Dabih give patience, trust, faith and determination in times of crisis. But also more crises than we would like. With Mars, the tension can be too much.
Star Dabih with the Moon gives success in business and wealth, but troubles from the opposite sex, deserving criticism and censure, it also causes extreme emotional problems. With a bad aspect of the passing Sun, as with a lunar eclipse, this can cause mental instability for two or three days as the aspect becomes accurate. This makes it difficult to communicate with the public and favors loners. The Lunar Eclipse of July 2018 will be especially challenging for the generation born in the early 1940s when Pluto was in early Leo.
Oculus and Bos, similar to Aldjedi and Dabih, but with a tendency towards conservatism and perhaps a lack of vision in times of crisis.
The constellation of Capricorn has a great influence on human affairs, prescribing major changes in areas such as climate and politics. Unfavorably positioned in relation to the lunar eclipse, it indicated major storms, especially at sea.

Rare 'blood moon' to appear over Earth for first time in 150 years
If you live in the western United States, then you simply cannot miss this grand astronomical event, expected in a few days. If your homeland is another country, but you still want to take a look at such a rare lunar phenomenon, you may need to hurry up with buying a plane ticket.
triple combination
The last time the “blood moon” shone in the sky was March 31, 1866. Now, a little over 150 years later, something similar is expected. And even more than that. In fact, a rare occurrence, which not only astronomers but also other lovers of heavenly bodies are looking forward to, is a combination of three events. This is not only a super moon and a “blood moon”, but also a “blue moon”.
Supermoon
The inhabitants of the Earth can observe this phenomenon when full moon located as close as possible to our planet. Then our natural satellite looks especially bright and large. This approach to the Earth increases all the visual effects of the Moon by 14%.
The first supermoon of this year was visible on January 1-2. The expected event will be the second. That is why the moon is also called blue, because it will be the second full moon in a month, which is quite rare. This phenomenon occurs only once every 2.7 years.
During this process, there will also be a lunar eclipse, which will cause a "blue blood super moon". When the eclipse occurs, the Earth will be located between the Sun and the Moon, blocking all sunlight for our satellite. This will give the moon a copper-red tint.
Where and when can you see
According to NASA, this phenomenon can be seen on January 31 before sunrise in Alaska, North America and Hawaii. And during moonrise, this event can be observed in Asia, Australia, the Middle East, New Zealand and eastern Russia.
The most striking and impressive effect of this phenomenon can still be seen in Hawaii, Alaska and the West Coast. In the east, it will be more difficult to observe the moon, and therefore you should not expect such vivid impressions. Eclipse will begin at 5:51 am ET. Then the Moon will appear in the western sky, and the eastern sky will brighten, making it difficult to observe.
Therefore, residents of the East Coast are advised to climb to a height with an open view to the side where the sun rises, and observe from 6:45 in the morning. However, the Moon will still give the best view of its incredible beauty for areas such as New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, and East and Central Asia.
What does the term "blood" moon mean?
The term "blood moon" is not used in official astronomy. However, it refers to a lunar eclipse that occurs on a full moon. The shadow of the Earth falls on the Moon, it is completely covered and painted in a blood-red hue due to a certain refraction in the atmosphere of the sun's rays.
When the moon is called "bloody"
"Blood moons" are not uncommon, they occur once every five to six months. However, this phenomenon can not always be observed, at this moment the Moon may be below the horizon. An eclipse occurs when the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, and the Moon enters the shadow cast by the Earth. Such an eclipse is considered complete, the disk of the moon is always in sight, it darkens and changes color. During an eclipse, only the sun's rays from the red part of the spectrum reach the Earth's satellite, as a result, the Moon becomes crimson.
The "blood moon" in the old days terrified people. An ominous influence on future events was attributed to such phenomena. It was believed that the moon at this time is shedding blood, which predicts great troubles. The first such eclipse was recorded in ancient Chinese chronicles in 1136 BC. Last time The blood moon was observed in Russia on April 15, 2014. This phenomenon is included in the so-called "tetrad" - four total lunar eclipses, passing one after another for two years. The dates of the next three total lunar eclipses are: October 8, 2014, April 4, 2015, September 28, 2015.
Tetrads, their role in predictions
Tetrads are quite rare. Over the past 5000 years, 142 tetrads have been observed, the last of which occurred in 2003-2004. Moreover, in the period from 1582 to 1908 there was not a single tetrad, and in the period from 1909 to 2156 there will be 17 of them. According to the Canadian Astronomical Society, the "blood moon" can be observed in 2032-2033 and in 2043-2044. In April 2014, in addition to the first red moon of the tetrad, the Sun, Earth and Mars lined up in one line. In the predictions of the biblical prophet Joel, it is written that the apocalypse will come "when the sun turns into darkness and the moon into blood." The same thing is repeated in Revelations (chapter 6) and Acts (2:20), so Christians are seriously thinking about the end of the world.
There are several notebooks left in history that became bloody not only because of the color. In AD 162-163 they preceded the persecution of Christians under Marcus Aurelius. The next tetrad took place in 1493-1494, and before that, in 1492, the edict of Ferdinand and Isabella was announced in Spain about the expulsion of Jews from the country. Blood moons in 1949-1950 were observed after the end of the Israeli War of Independence. It is also noteworthy that all 4 eclipses of 2014-2015 fall on Jewish holidays - twice on the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) and twice on the Jewish Passover. Among Muslims, eclipses are also indicated among the signs of the approach of the Day of Judgment.
