The second
of two eclipses occurs this month on March 23, and this is a lunar eclipse falling
at 3.17 degrees of Libra, peaking at 8:01 AM, EST. Libra is the natural ruler
of the 7th house of marriage and partnerships, and well as courts, and those we
consider 'open enemies.'
The energy
of this eclipse will focus on relationships-the good and the bad. Are you
getting what you need, or is it time to move on?
Eclipses are
powerful astrological events and often reveal things previously unknown, or we
change course in some way. Typically endings occur on lunar eclipses and new
beginnings on solar eclipses but it can the other way around.
While an
eclipse hitting a sensitive point in your chart can bring negative situations
to light, eclipses can also bring positive change. An eclipse is like a light
post in the dark, showing us the way, and the path of what it's to come. This
energy can go for months, and in some cases years to come, revealing what our
focus will be not only during the eclipse but over a longer period of time. An
eclipse is a wild card in many respects and can usher in dramatic events. Some
things end and new things begin. An eclipse can bring an unexpected event, or
things outside your personal control that can coincide in a new or different direction.
A lunar eclipse is like a full moon on steroids. The energy of an eclipse
begins at least 30 days before the eclipse occurs, becoming more powerful in
the days before the eclipse.
Eclipses are
not always negative, sometime they coincide with positive situations and things
we have been working on come together during this period.
This eclipse
opposes Mercury, showing the propensity for agitation, arguments and a
tremendous amount of communication, issues concerning young people and/or work
associates or immediate family members. This is also indicative of danger while
driving, or issues around travel or transport.
A lunar eclipse occurred close to
this degree on March 24, 1997. If you can recall this period it might give you an idea of
what you may expect this time.
As Libra
rules the 7th house we can expect issues to crop up relating to relationships
one way or another, and this is not limited to romantic relationships. If your
relationship is solid, don't expect the worse. It is those relationships that
are unhealthy or tottering on the edge that will be the most likely to end.
Jupiter squares Saturn
and it is exact on the day of the eclipse. At times
Jupiter/Saturn squares can be a culmination of events we have been
working on,
especially concerning business, start up companies, money matters and
financial situations. Many things can end or come to a conclusion during
this time.
Now is the
time to take a realistic approach in all of your affairs and be conservative in
your outlook, actions and planning. This is not the best time for expansion and
if you go in this direction you may feel as though you are swimming upstream.
Typically
however, Jupiter-Saturn squares seem a bit restrictive and in many cases
situations can end. This transit can coincide with legal and financial matters
or restrictions, problems in professional affairs, conflicts with professional
responsibilities, or with supervisors, and those in positions of authority.
This transit
will play out in the world in a major way. Jupiter and Saturn rule the two
political parties and we can expect (in the US) major clashes. Ethical or moral
issues will be called into question one way or another and religion could pose
questions as well. As Jupiter rules foreign countries and people we will see
issues arise relating to foreign situations, and circumstances, even the chance
of terrorist activities.
This transit relates to the financial markets
on a worldwide basis.
Summer of
2015 Jupiter squared Saturn in Leo/Scorpio. We saw the normalization of US relations with
Cuba, and China
devalued its currency. The eclipse will
amp up the energy of this powerful square bring important events and situations
to our attention both in our lives and in the world.
