Saturn is the lord of this chart by rulership of three planets located in his signs, Aquarius and Capricorn. The overall tone is set by this lordship, the main theme being that of contraction, protection, and limitation. The eclipsed Moon is located in the Sun's sign, Leo, with Ketu, the south node. Ketu is a force of contraction and turning within, which is very unlike the solar energy of Leo, which is outgoing. The full Moon is generally strong and proud when in Leo, as the Moon reflects the light of the Sun while occupying the Sun's territory. To eclipse this kind of shiny display quickly calls attention to how we are limited. The Sun is in a position of limitation due to Saturn being his lord, which further highlights possibilities of restriction. Saturn's position in the Moon's sign, Cancer, combined with his retrograde motion further influences the brightness potential of the Moon.
The limitations of Saturn can manifest both positively and negatively. This should be considered when taking stock of this combination of planets. This display puts up a flag of caution and a reminder that cycles can be disrupted and that even home can be unsafe. A positive influence upon Saturn in the chart is Jupiter, aspecting Saturn by the ninth aspect from Mars' water sign, Scorpio. This lends a note of faith and hope that progress is possible with work and planning, despite apparent limitations.
Jupiter also aspects exalted Venus, which reminds us that all is one and that love is the answer. This could be a good remedy for the isolation of the Moon caused by the conjunction with Ketu. It may feel difficult to reach out to friends and family due to feelings of isolation, but the action of extending oneself towards others could serve to balance the dynamic.
