Lunar Eclipse Musings

Yin Water Snake (癸巳) Sun and Moon in the Eclipse.

In Chinese Astrology the Yin Water Snake pillar represents the sun and moon together, the balance between Fire and Water. When one dominates, an eclipse occurs, bringing tension and uncertainty.

People born with this pillar in their chart value equality and fairness, preferring relationships with clear boundaries and mutual respect. A lifelong inner struggle with self questioning (eclipse) makes them practical, hardworking, and straightforward. Drawn to systems and structure, they thrive in environments where balance and fairness are upheld.

Their nature can be intense, one moment driven by the intensity of fire, the next guided by the fluidity of water. It is this duality that makes Water Snake people capable of transformation and leadership.
