In ancient times if the sky was cloudy and the eclipse could not be seen, then the city or country was spared any malefic effects. Eclipses were always considered bad omens. So not being able to witness the Moon passing through the earth’s shadow was very good news for the people.
Eclipses are not necessarily bad, they may be good in their effects! You may find something that you have been searching for or a mystery may be revealed. If you or someone you know has been having some health problems, the eclipse may reveal what the underlying issues are so that they can be treated successfully.
Whether positive or negative, eclipses are usually hectic times in general when the air is charged with electricity. People may be feeling more stressed than usual due to the eclipse energy. So be prepared for people rushing around or not being very pleasant while out in public.
Relationship issues may become the focus of energies around a lunar eclipse since it is a relationship aspect of the opposition, Sun and Moon, masculine and feminine. It may also be an internal relationship between following your instincts/cravings (Moon) or doing what society expects (Sun). Put another way, following unconscious drives vs conscious decision making.
The opposition is in Leo and Aquarius our creativity, love, romance vs our friends, groups and hopes/wishes. So the stress could very well center around children (either of body or mind), relationships with friends/lovers and/or entertainment.
Leo and Aquarius are fixed signs and ones that demand attention. The Sun is powerful in the regal sign of Leo so this eclipse may affect those in the entertainment industry, royals, or leaders in general.

The merging of one’s survival needs with those of a group. Sharing and trusting. Intense interactions with others.

Women may deal with power issues or money issues which may become prominent in the news. Venus also signifies what we create, which can run from a piece of artwork to children.
