A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth lines up between the moon and the sun. The sun's light is blocked casting a shadow on to the moon. But in some eclipses sunlight does reach the moon indirectly, daubing the moon in a sunset palette. Any light that does pass shines through our atmosphere and transforms the lunar surface into a deep, coppery red.

Capricorn season is closing out with an incredibly productive new moon, perfect for finally executing some of the New Year's goals that have been swirling around in your brain for the past few weeks. Rising on Jan. 18, this month's lunar reset brings the sun and moon together in the ambitious and determined sign of Capricorn, and it's motivating people to invest in themselves and their passions. Everyone can tap into this lunation's power, but for the signs least affected by the Jan. 18 new moon, it'll be a little more lowkey.

To see where the moon melts over the garden,or where the bats flit, or where the air sweetens with pollen and moth-frenzy, I recommend a night walk to discern the perfect patch for it. Under this glow, we could all use a distraction-dig with a silver shovel and choose colors that swoon and moan under our satellite: dusty pinks, baby blue, lavender, white, and butter yellow gems unfurl at dusk until dawn.

This month begins in Aquarius season, highlighting the power of individuality within the collective. However, a bold and powerful full moon in the opposite sign of Leo lights up the skies on Feb. 1, bringing everyone's authenticity and star power to the surface. It's time to take pride in who you are and let your confidence shine. Eccentric planet Uranus wraps up its retrograde two days later, making shockwaves of inspiration easier to access.

Our new study suggests that the Apollo samples are biased to extremely rare events that lasted a few thousand years - but up to now, these have been interpreted as representing 0.5 billion years of lunar history. It now seems that a sampling bias prevented us from realizing how short and rare these strong magnetism events were.

Welcome to February's solar eclipse, a supercharged new Moon in Aquarius that brings a moment of reset, a blank slate upon which you can write an entirely new reality. Solar eclipses always arrive as cosmic amplifiers and carry the powerful energy of new beginnings and quantum leaps in consciousness. But this upcoming eclipse on the new Moon is especially significant.
