The lunar eclipse this month falls at
4 degrees of Aquarius,
on July 27. Eclipses can bring positive or negative results, but they typically
usher significant life events in or out of your life. An eclipse like this last
occurred in July 1999.
As this Moon
and Mars are in Aquarius, the ruler of the collective, many events will occur
that affect us all and we will be concerned with world events more so than
usual, but each eclipse is also personal in terms of our own experience.
This is a
powerful eclipse for a variety of reasons. First of all, Mercury
and Mars are retrograde and we may be dealing with retrograde type situations:
that is things that began earlier, have come back as an issue, or not been
completed. When an eclipse falls on a retrograde Mercury events connected to
the event can be delayed. As this eclipse is the longest of the century, its
shelf life or length of its influence in our personal lives is longer as well.
Eclipse energy typically lasts at least a month, sometimes much longer.
The Moon is conjunct Mars and this can often bring emotional stress,
anger, or frustration. This can be directed at anyone but the Moon can
typically involve women and family members or those closest to us. We could be
concerned with events in the home.
Both
the Sun/Moon and Mars square Uranus, and Mars is part of a slow moving square that will be exact
July 31-August 3. This square is
explosive, unpredictable and prone to unexpected events that can occur in the
world and our personal lives.
The square occurred
for the first time as Mars entered Taurus May 16, and the proceeding days.
During this time we saw volatile incidents in the world and the eruption Hawaii's
Kilauea volcano. The square will complete a third and final time September
16-20.
We can
expect to see these types of unexpected incidents, violence or possibly even
talk to war or military events in the world.
If the
eclipse or Mars square fixed planets in your personal chart-Taurus, Leo,
Scorpio or Aquarius at 0-2 degrees, you can expect to see unexpected events and
circumstances occur in your life with much change.
Saturn is trine Uranus as well, and this transit gives us stability
and something to focus on. Saturn and Uranus combines the old and the new, to
create something different.
At best,
during this period we can break free of circumstances and situations that have
been holding us back, and new elements and situations may enter our life,
sometimes unexpectedly. It is possible other people we are engaged with may
want to break free, especially those relationships tottering on the edge.
In summation, this eclipse is not the best time
to begin new projects as Mars and Mercury are retrograde. This energy needs to
be channeled and we need something to focus on at this time, as the potential
exists for anger or rash and hasty decisions we could come to regret. Focus and
calm will be the key to a successful experience, and at best we can approach
things in a new and innovative manner. It is better to plan events at this time
than to put them into action. Innovation can be a key, and in this respect the
sky is the limit.
