The first of two eclipses in this late 2020 Eclipse season is a not-so-visually-remarkable, info-laden Full Moon Gemini Lunar eclipse, 29th/30th November (Have you seen the highly informative C*I*A Brave New World Symposium, for instance?!); followed two weeks later by a full-on Total Solar Eclipse,14th December, that conjuncts the Galactic Centre. The latter is more likely to satisfy anyone seeking over-the-top drama in their stars – and lives – but please do try not to get sucked into a black hole in between, because there is much to look forward to, especially in December leading into a New Year, new start.

In this elemental year of the spatially aware ‘Metal Rat’, few kids will be knocking on All Hallows doors (for obvious – distancing – reasons) without first checking an escape route – just in case. But should anyone hear a loud and mighty ‘Whaaaahahhaaa’ at any point over the witching weekend just remember how easy it is to sometimes be caught off-guard, especially over a spooky Halloween Blue Moon.
