Next lunar eclipse Penumbral Lunar Eclipse will happen on September 16 / September 17, 2016.

A total lunar eclipse will take place on September 28, 2015. This lunar eclipse will be particularly rare, because it is a harvest moon lunar eclipse, taking place also on the day of the closest supermoon of 2015.

The eclipse will be visible over Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas.

Lunar Eclipse September 28, 2015

A total lunar eclipse on April 4 2015, is the first of two total lunar eclipses in 2015.

Total lunar eclipses happen only on full moons, they stir up emotions, and in astrology mean endings of relationships (personal and business). During a lunar eclipse conscious is “dwarfed” or turned off completely, giving place to the unconscious impulses. During this period emotionally meaningful aspects of life define the main actions.

A Total lunar eclipse will occur on October 8th, the latter of two total lunar eclipses in 2014.
It will be visible in the South and North America, Asia, Australia, and Pacific.

April 15 2014 Eclipse

The last of three lunar eclipses in 2013 will take place on October 18, 2013.

It will be visible from Europe, Africa, and most of Asia (the beginning of the eclipse will be visible in east Asia), and the South and North Americas (the end).

This eclipse is the one of four lunar eclipses in a short-lived series at the descending node of the moon’s orbit.

A penumbral lunar eclipse will take place on May 25, 2013, the second of three lunar eclipses in 2013. It will be visually imperceptible due to the small entry into the penumbral shadow.

The last of three lunar eclipses in 2013 will take place on October 18, 2013.

The first of three lunar eclipses in 2013, a partial lunar eclipse in Scorpio took place on April 25, 2013. Only a tiny sliver (about 1%) of the Moon was covered by the Earth’s umbral shadow at maximum eclipse, but the entire northern half of the Moon was darkened from being inside the penumbral shadow. This was the second shortest partial eclipse of the Moon for the 21st century, lasting 27 minutes.

In the future almost 30 years from now, on September 29, 2042, a partial eclipse of just 0.3% lasting just 12 minutes will be visible.
