Heads up, youre currently smack dab in the middle of eclipse season-and that's kind of a big deal. Earlier this month, there was a new moon in Cancer that happened along with a total solar eclipse, and now theres a full moon and lunar eclipse in Capricorn happening on July 16th.

Quick astronomy refresher: A full moon happens when the earth is located in the sky between the sun and the moon. During a full moon, the whole disk is lit up like a big, bright ball of awesome in the sky. There are usually 12 full moons a year (although some years have 13), and each syncs up with a particular zodiac sign.

Known as a Thunder Moon, this one is pretty special, since its happening at the same time as a lunar eclipse (which is when the earths shadow falls onto the moon, making it look darker). But, don't freak out-it won't be totally lights out. This is a partial lunar eclipse, so only a part of the moon will look darker.

Both the full moon and partial lunar eclipse are happening in Capricorn. That makes this astrological event a little more serious than other full moons, according to Donna Page , a certified astrologer in Atlanta. Heres what else you can expect from the full moon and lunar eclipse in Capricorn:

What does the full moon and partial lunar eclipse in Capricorn mean for your sign?

In general astrological terms, any kind of eclipse means the ~moon energy~ is going to be stronger than usual. Thats true for solar eclipses, as well as lunar eclipses, like the one thats happening on the 16th, Page explains.

This full moon is "pretty powerful," forcing you to get serious about what will **actually** bring you happiness in life, Page says. "It has a very serious vibe with it because Saturn, the planet of being responsible and fixing things, has its thumbprint all over this chart, she explains.

Soget ready to do some serious thinking. Are you cool with where youre headed in life, or are you moving down a path that doesnt line up with your core values? If youre happy with things, then you can mentally high-five yourself and move on. But, if youre not digging the direction youre headed in, WTH do you plan to do about it?

Plus, since the sun is in Cancer, which focuses on personal life and emotions, and the moon is in Capricorn, which is all about career, youll also do some ~more~ thinking about your work/life balance, Page adds. Is one overshadowing the other? If so, its time to make a change ASAP.

Speaking of work/life balance, here's the best job for your zodiac sign:

One more thing: The full moon is going to be big on making you let go of things you think youre supposed to do that really dont line up with what you want anymore. Like, now is the time to stop forcing yourself to choke down sprouted whole-grain bread because your mom said it was good for you. (On that note, bring on the bagels!).

The full moon and lunar eclipse will impact every zodiac sign, but Capricorn and Cancer will feel it the most, followed by Libra and Aries, Page says.

How will the full moon and partial lunar eclipse impact the rest of my year?

Those deep thoughts youre having could lead to some pretty big changes (because duh). Maybe youll decide your job is sucking the life out of you, and you need to make a change for your mental wellbeing. Or maybe youll kick off a less dramatic (but still obviously important) change, like getting your butt out of bed earlier so you can squeeze in a few more mins at the gym.

The changes you make now could make some serious waves thatll impact you over the next few weeks, months, and (not to be totally dramatic here, but) possibly the rest of your life. No pressure, though.

When is the next full moon?

The next full moon is happening on August 15, and its in the sign of Aquarius, Page says. That means you might experience some complicated emotions around this time (fun!).

But for now, focus on those deep thoughts. It'll pay off in the long run.
