Top three Zodiac signs that will be affected by tonight’s partial eclipse

Top three Zodiac signs that will be affected by tonight’s partial eclipse

The rare lunar event is set to reach its maximum at 3:44 am

This month seems to be total chock-a-block when it comes to lunar activity.

From the Full Moon in Pisces taking place tonight all the way through to the partial Lunar Eclipse - it's clear there's quite a lot going on in the skies that may be affecting our sleep, mood and everything else in between.

Now, the rare cosmic phenomenon occurs when the Earth moves between the sun and the moon, but they are not perfectly aligned.

Because of this, only a portion of the moon passes through the Earth's central and darkest part of its shadow AKA the umbra.

The rest of the moon remains in the 'penumbra', which is the lighter outer part of the shadow, meaning it is still fully illuminated by the sun.

During a partial lunar eclipse, the shadowed part of the moon appears darkened, while the rest remains bright.

Differing from a total lunar eclipse, where the entire moon enters the Earth's umbra and often takes on a reddish colour, a partial eclipse only darkens part of the moon's surface, creating a pretty incredible visual contrast.

And it would appear as if tonight's partial eclipse (17 September) will affect three zodiac signs in particular, Hindustan Times reports.

Leo

Up first on the rundown is Leo.

Leos seem to be in luck when it comes to their finances as they 'may receive a significant pay check or bonus, a reward for your creative efforts finally paying off'.

In fact, financial seems 'almost expected' for these lucky Leos as this 'powerful' lunar activity will allegedly help 'drive great achievements'.

"Your expertise will shine, and it will become clear that all your hard work has been worth it," the outlet adds.

Virgos, however, may notice a 'significant shift' in how they feel during this time.

According to the outlet, the partial eclipse 'seems to bring an end to something that's been weighing you down'.

So, get ready for a dose of 'closure', which will hopefully 'open the door to new blessings'.

"As the day progresses, you'll feel the positive energy building, especially toward the evening, creating a snowball effect of good vibes," Hindustan Times adds.

After facing a bunch of 'challenges' recently, you're now apparently set to 'reap the rewards' with the partial eclipse marking a 'turning point'.

And last, but by no means least on the rundown is water sign, Pisces.

Apparently you've been on a 'winning streak', Pisces, and your positive attitude is' key to attracting more good things'.

Tonight, Jupiter's energy will apparently 'amplify everything great in your life' - be it love, family or money.

"You’re in a great place, and you know how to make the most of it—so enjoy it, Pisces, and keep attracting more," the outlet adds.
