The eclipse
season is upon us and the first eclipse of October will be a lunar eclipse at
15 degrees of Aries, October 8 at 6:51 A.M., EST. Until then, the energy of
this eclipse will increase before it actually occurs and events related to this
eclipse will begin to happen in our lives and in the world.
This will be a powerhouse eclipse as
it sets off the Uranus-Pluto square,
and the moon conjuncts Uranus. Major
events will occur in the world and in our personal lives. The last time we had an eclipse at this
degree was October 8, 1995. If that
period was significant, this one may be as well.
This eclipse will affect Libra, Aries, Cancer and Capricorn to
the greatest degree or those who have planets in these signs from 12-17
degrees. As the eclipse sets off the Uranus-Pluto square events will be
large in our personal lives if you have planets in your natal chart being
aspected as mentioned above, and changes and events will be big in the world.
Events and situations that occurred in April may come to the forefront again.
A lunar
eclipse can reveal things previously unknown and bring situations to a climax
or critical point. These situations are often related to our personal
environment, home, security and those we are closely connect with.
Eclipses are
most powerful if they aspect a personal planet in your own chart, and those
affecting the cardinal houses-first, fourth, seventh and tenth are the most
powerful of all, and Aries is a cardinal sign and the ruler of the first house
of self.
Aries or the
first house rules us-we, ourselves and our
personal desires and as it opposes the seventh house so it is also about
them. It is a fire sign and fire is
bright and takes control to be in charge. There is nothing subtle about this
energy and fire people generally do not stop until they get what they want.
Relationship
themes and situations of all types will be emphasized during this eclipse. This
full moon eclipse is the companion full moon to the September 24, new moon in Libra, the sign ruling
marriage and partnerships, as well as courts and laws. Relationships, money and
our values are on the front burner of this eclipse period over the next several
weeks. On October 23, we have a second solar eclipse at 1 degree Scorpio.
Full moons-lunar eclipses are times of high emotions as the
Sun is in opposition to the Moon and at times your actions may be mirrored in
others. Things and situations can be
released whether it be a person, situation or a negative habit.
As this eclipse
(moon) conjuncts Uranus we may expect the unexpected in our personal lives and
in the world. Moon-Uranus eclipses
can make you feel edgy, bring about sudden endings or change and totally unanticipated
twists and turns that can be shocking or liberating depending on which end of
the change you are on. The Moon itself rules women, your home and emotional
life. It is important to guard against rash actions, and don't throw the baby
out with the bathwater.
As this moon squares Pluto we may become
obsessive and issues may arise. Moon-Pluto
transits deal with obsessive feelings and desires, deep seated issues and Pluto
rules the dark, hidden realm that exists in our subconscious mind. We could
have a desire to create great change in our lives at this time. Pluto also
rules oil, bullies, nuclear materials, the dark, and dark side of life and
those who push their agenda on others. This brings relationship themes and sex to the forefront, along with
money/finances, and issues connected with joint finances.
Venus-Pluto transits are indicative of jealousy,
obsessive feelings and the potential for selfishness, and lack of consideration
for the emotional needs and feelings of others, or you may feel that you are
being treated with less consideration than desirable. There can be attempts to
remake or reform others, and it is important to remember that change begins
within, and the only person it is actually possible to change is oneself. In
its most extreme cases Venus-Pluto transits deal with domestic abuse or rape
and it is likely we will hear news of such in the world.
The second
aspect Venus makes is its opposition to
Uranus becoming exact on October 11.
Venus-Uranus transits relate to breakups, changes in relationships and brings
an unexpected element that is hard to predict and misguided actions are often
the norm without really thinking things through. Some relationships will end at
this time and others will go through roadblocks. If you meet someone on this
transit don't expect it to last as Uranus can be a flash in the pan.
Mercury is retrograde at 1 degree of Scorpio and this can
delay events connected with this eclipse. I have seen events delayed by a few
days or a few weeks when an eclipse falls on a retrograde Mercury. As Mercury
is in its retrograde station events/situations will take on more intensity and
depth of feeling with this eclipse and surface feelings will not suffice.
As this post
is written massive protests are occurring in Hong Kong over democracy, and a
volcano erupted in Japan and this is indicative of the eclipse energy. The Aries
eclipse falls on Pluto in Hong Kong's natal 12th house showing what world be
considered 'issues,' and 'subversive activities,' which could include
protesters challenging Beijing's control, and I expect to see further events
around this eclipse. When the moon (eclipse) falls next to Uranus expect to see
events related to freedom (from oppression) occur around the world especially
its hot spots. Uranus is connected with revolts, revolutions and in some cases
war. Who remembers Tiananmen square? Let's hope this is not a repeat scenario
in any way.
Looking at
the eclipse chart, set for Washington, D.C., the moon conjuncts Uranus in the
seventh house of courts and open enemies, or those we know to be our enemy .
Moon-Uranus can involve women who may be prominent in the news during this
time, and there is an element of 'expect the unexpected' with Uranus. As the
Moon rules the common people, the emotional state of the average person may be
excitable, changeable or even panicked during this period.
Uranus lies
in the 6th house of public health opposing the Sun/Venus in the 12th house of
things and situations that are secret and hidden. We may hear more news that
relates to national health, and situations will spread or increase quickly. The
President acts in secret and some things will remain hidden during this time.
Neptune lies
in the fifth house of children/young people, showing a focus here on children, children's
places or activities. The fifth house also rules entertainment and creativity
and places such as movie theatres. Neptune is linked to plagues, infectious
diseases and the ocean.
With so much
Uranus involved we may see unusual weather patterns and there is a greater
chance of earthquakes, volcanoes and other Earth/weather related scenarios.
The two
oppositions between Venus and the Sun and Uranus and the moon show the great
polarity between the values we espouse and those of other people considered enemies.
For example America promotes democracy and China/ISIS/Iran (and others) espouse
a different type of government or life. We will see clashes pertaining to
values and ways of life.
With Mars
trine Jupiter there will be support for the military and we are entering into a
period that can being new inventions and new ideas around this time.
My advice is
to always go with the flow of the energy. If you feel compelled to make a
change in your life for the better, now is the time to walk away from toxic
situations and energies of all types. You can use this energy to propel
yourself in a new and positive direction, but as Mercury is retrograde make
sure you are certain of what you really want. If a situation abruptly ends in your
life, know it was supposed to and something better is waiting around the
corner. As long as there is life there is hope for good.
