About Scott Petullo
Expertise

I'm happy to answer general astrology questions, such as identifying a particular Moon sign or Sun sign that happens to be on the cusp, or identifying an Ascendant (Rising sign) or a ruler (or rulers) of a particular house, etc.

As an example, you might ask, "My 7th house (house of partnerships, relationships, etc.) cusp sign is Virgo, so which planet rules the house considering I have no planets in that house?"

Or, you might ask, for instance, "My natal Sun is on the cusp, in which sign is it?"

I DON'T DO PERSONAL READINGS HERE, SORRY. :)

Again, I WON'T DO PERSONAL READINGS HERE. Also, if your question relates to modern, psychological astrology, I won't answer it since the bulk of my predictive work is done using more ancient forms (I find them far more accurate). I won't answer questions about Chinese astrology or Vedic/Hindu astrology either.

My expertise involves the application of ancient forms of astrology (and numerology) to interpret personal fate, and assess personality and compatibility. http://www.scottpetullo.com http://www.mystictwins.com

Topic: Astrology



Expert: Scott Petullo
Date: 2/22/2008
Subject: Lunar Eclipse: Moon not partil S. Node, astrology and eclipses

Question
I noticed that the Feb 2008 Lunar Eclipse occurred at 2 degrees Virgo, BUT the S. Node was at 28 degrees Leo.  I had thought the Node represent the intersection of the Earth's orbit and the Moon orbit.  And eclipses occur when the Moon crosses the Earth's orbit.  So, it seems to me that during a  lunar eclipse the Moon and S.Node should be partil, not separated by 4 degrees.  Why the discrepancy between the  astrological definition and the astronomical event?  

Answer
Hi Jim,

Great question.

I don't see it as a discrepancy. It doesn't have to be exact.

A Lunar Eclipse happens when the full Moon is close (but not necessarily partile, which is to say an aspect of the same degree) to one of the Moon's Nodes.

It can even be an out of sign connection, as we have here.

The Earth passing between the Sun and Moon causes the shadow on the Moon during a Lunar Eclipse, that's basically it.
