According to our friends over at Yahoo! Shine, the lunar eclipse "will highlight people, events and situations to help catapult you into the future." And if you happen to be a Sagittarius or a Gemini, the eclipse will energize the first and seventh house of your signs, highlighting themes of rebirth and relationships where "being true to yourself will be of the utmost importance." If you're not a Sagittarius or Gemini, your sun sign might highlight communication and traveling, friendships or professional goals instead. Relationship Problems? Why Communication Is Not The Issue
Adding to that, MyDaily says this eclipse could also signal you to let go of your past, and "truths that we held dear may begin to crumble or fade as we recognize that a single response or point of view does not answer every question."
