For Pondering

Okay, so, in pretty much every culture, an eclipise is a very powerful event. Solar, of course, being more powerful, but lunar just as important.

I live in Ontario, and trust me, we rarely get to see eclipses, we get lunar ones. Sometimes.

My question for pondering is: you can get lists of eclipses, solar and lunar, all over the world for the upcoming year(or years). Even if I can't physically see the eclipse, can I still perform eclipse-specific rituals and harness the power of the eclipse? Would it help if I had a live feed on the internet of the eclipse, or can I just visualize it? Or, is it a bad idea?

Anyway, any thoughts would be appreciated!

Birth charts are confusing things. You can find loads of information about things like your birth sign, but what does it mean when the chart says "Jupiter in Virgo"? Those meanings can take some more time to find, if you find them at all.
Eventually, all 12 signs for all the planets will be posted, but it might take some time.
Anyway, here's some information about the Moon in Gemini.

Tsukiyomi

Also known as Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, Tsukuyomi, and Tsuki-Yomi. Tsukiyomi is the Japanese god of the moon, created from a teardrop. He is the second the “three noble children” born to the head Shinto god Izanagi. His sister is the sun goddess Amaterasu.
However, Tsukiyomi angered his sister by killed Uke Mochi, the goddess of food. The meal is made in a disgusting manner (for how the meal was created, you can read the Wikipedia page here, I have my limits as to what I'll include in this blog. It's written in a "safe for work" mannor, and it's not overly detailed, but it still is "gross") so Tsukiyomi killed her.
When his sister learned about what he did, Amaterasu refused to look at her brother again, so Tsukiyomi had to move to another area of the sky.

This is the reason why day and night are separate according to the Shinto religion.
