The full moon lunar eclipse June 2020 at 15º Sagittarius brings you a Herculean task! It aligns with fixed star Ras Algethi in constellation Hercules. The lunar eclipse June 2020 astrology features a heart-stopping T-square that contains the planets of passion Venus and Mars in square aspect. So this could be an eclipse that is quite the heartbreaker since Venus is in her retrograde phase also.
The Sun part of the Lunar eclipse is on Rigel. This star found in the foot of Orion the hunter boasted that he could kill any animal in the forest. Rigel the typical alpha male is opposite the Moon on Ras Algethi. Don’t make the mistake in thinking this star is a humble hippie! He can be quite brutish as we will see.
Ras Algethi, known as the kneeling man, is the grubby one close to the earth. Orion is the classy conqueror who is less at home with nature. A city rat. Yet Orion has Venus retrograde on his side.. the greedy vixen is supporting his plundering of nature, she is vain and likes her baubles. She represents glitzy city department stores like Tiffanys or Selfridges.
Lunar Eclipse June Astrology
The lunar eclipse shows Venus retrograde in her most negative manifestation. The compromise comes from the Mars square in Pisces. The planet of war is on a priesthood star. Achernar often denotes success in ecclesiastical matters. Mars also benefits from the star Ankaa close by which is resurrection, the phoenix from the flames.
Mars then functions as the go-between uniting the opposite energies of the lunar eclipse. The T-square is challenging, but love can win through in the end if we act in a less materialistic and greedy manner. The June full moon lunar eclipse astrology shows that we can rise above the chaos and start over.
Lunar eclipse in Sagittarius decan 2

Lunar Eclipse Fixed Star
The 2nd Face Of Sagittarius ” A man leading cows and in front of him he has an ape and a bear. This is the face of fear, lamentations, grief, sadness, misery and troubles.” ~ Picatrix
Ras Algethi 16º ~ “The desire to help, heal or bring balance to others. A person who uses natural health techniques, one who seeks to prevent problems rather than try to cure them. The swing of the pendulum; people are out of balance.” [2] It gives “strength of character, tenacity and fixity of purpose, an ardent nature and dangerous passions.” says Robson.
Manilius associates Hercules with tightrope walking, but also says it makes one crafty, deceitful and a thug who terrorises cities! If one uses this energy towards a profession it then: “will inspire him with enthusiasm for risky callings, with danger the price, “ [1]
The main star Ras Algethi according to Ebertin “If in good aspect, it is supposed to give much enjoyment and favours from women…. But, by its very Mars nature, Ras Algethi corresponds to boldness and a drive to gain power.” [1]

You can see why Hercules would make a person quite brutish. Bernadette Brady sees another side of Ras Algethi saying it “could mean a respect for nature, a caring for the planet, a desire to have all things in their place; That is the correct order of nature, life, and the heavens… “ [3] Hercules is kneeling and in contact with the earth so it makes sense. When one is kneeling, one is reverent. Hercules is quite the heathen, often used as a derogatory term. Yet so-called ‘Heathens’, such as the druids, had a sophisticated astro-theology. They lived with a great respect for nature. Ras Algethi is heroic like Orion. He still has a drive for power, but of a more spiritual kind. You could say Ras Algethi was a kind of base Merlin to Orion’s King Arthur.

“In English at least, bullshit is even today a common term for lies and falsehood, and the term is quite vivid protolanguage for communicating the loathing we feel when we have been deceived by charlatans. Apparently, assholes are assholes, whether in 2000 BCE or 2000 CE. Even many animals use their faeces as a form of derogatory comment.” ~ Nitya Teachings
