The lunar eclipse in Taurus affects each and every one of us regardless of what Zodiac Sign we are. It will be intensely experienced by Scorpios, Taurus, Leos and Aquarians born in the middle of the second decanate of their Zodiac Sign or those of you who have personal planets or points in your horoscope at degrees 12°-18° of the above Signs.

Difficult once again the upcoming Lunar Eclipse on May 5, which takes place at 14°58′ of Scorpio.

It is loaded emotionally, it brings upheaval and affects with heavy psychology, problems in communication, and tension in Relationships, especially to the Signs of the Fixed Cross (Taurus, Scorpio, Leo and Aquarius) of the second decan, but also to you personally, regardless of what Sign you are, if you have your Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Ascendant, or your Midheaven between 12° and 18° degrees of the above Signs.

 

It is an Eclipse that affects us all with its intensity and the unexpected events and revelations it will bring.

It is the planet Uranus that has the first say. Conjunct to the Sun in Taurus and in opposition to the Moon in Scorpio it brings upheaval, reaction, destabilization. It brings emotional turmoil. Unrest and outbursts of emotions.

This Lunar Eclipse brings to the surface situations that will deeply affect our peace of mind, our psychology, and in turn our relationships. Balance is shaken, and what we have so long considered familiar or was a part of our habit, no longer holds us. Feelings of boredom, and tendencies towards independence and detachment are now infusing the way we interact with others.

Mercury is in retrograde motion in the sign of Taurus and is also conjunct to the Sun, and in opposition to the Moon.

Communication is slow and the mind cannot process many data at once. It becomes easy to insist on our own opinions, to show narrow-mindedness, to be inflexible, and we need to be especially careful because as we lack the necessary flexibility of mind it is not easy to avoid misunderstandings and quarrels.

Emotions are not expressed in the correct words. We feel the conflict between the heart and the mind. Caution here too as the pressured psychology and a need for sudden freedom of expression can cause us to express emotions abruptly and in a tantrum, and so afterwards we may not be able to take back what we have said.

The pressured, depressed, and emotionally complex Moon in Scorpio suffocates as it seeks security and nurturing on both the emotional and material level. It is upset as it sees that the actions of others do not match their words.

It is natural therefore to have feelings of insecurity stirring up within you and a need that is so overwhelming, to hold on tightly to something dear, something that gives you the feeling or pretense of security that you so desperately need.

But you are also in turmoil within yourself. It’s not just the others.

For the tension you feel arises from the contradiction between your need to feel emotionally secure in practical and simple terms, and your desire for change, stimulation and emotional stimulation.

Reflect on whether you are attracted to the complex and thus miss the simple things. Or have you sacrificed a large part of your individuality in the name of security and peace and now the time has come for a break.

The Keys of the Eclipse

This is an eclipse where the Masculine and the Feminine play a primary role. Mars and Venus, are not making any aspects to each other – indicative of the inability of the attraction and love element to positively upset the backdrop of turmoil set by the other planets.

Union is the goal, and union is difficult to achieve since the two lovers do not see each other. Yet each in their own way leaves their mark on the eclipse itself, since they are simultaneously the ruling planets (traditionally) of both the Nodes of the Moon and the Moon and Sun respectively.

So what would be good is to find a way of positive release to alleviate the darkness of tense relationships, misunderstandings, and dark psychology formed by the above aspects and astrological factors.

The applying trine that the Moon in Scorpio makes to Mars in Cancer can be helpful in two ways. One is to try to express our feelings by showing more sensitivity. Acts of caring can help avoid tensions. Let’s show sensitivity away from attempts to manipulate and away from bitterness for not experiencing the deep feeling and emotional or practical security we would like from our partner.

The second way is to understand the sensitivity and vulnerability of the Masculine. This is important because the previous Sun eclipse that occurred in conjunction with the Mars – Chiron square brought out complexes of both competition and inadequacy within the relationship. Mars has been hurt and needs care and sweet words now.

On the other hand Venus, the Feminine, is in Gemini a place where it craves communication. As in the Eclipse chart Venus is square Neptune from Pisces and at the same time sextile Jupiter in Aries, it seems that Feminine is already experiencing an undercurrent of frustration which to be overcome a mixture of open, honest and direct communication, from Masculine,is neccessary. Communication that includes a romantic or erotic element.

You see, steps must be taken by both Masculine and Feminine to resolve the opposition of the Eclipse.

YET there is healing in this Eclipse.

A very significant Grand Square formation, as participating with squares on the Sun-Moon opposition are Black Lilith from Leo at 13°07′ and Asteroid Chariklo, directly opposite it, at 13°48 Aquarius. From these degrees, Black Lilith and Chariklo each forms a square to the two Lights.

And Chiron, coming from 17°33′ Aries, comes to act as a helper to the Lilith – Chariklo opposition, as it is making a trine to the former and a sextile to the latter.

All of the above means that in this eclipse, two OPPOSING FEMALE ARCHITECTURES are clashing within you.

One is Lilith’s the rebellious and an emancipated woman within you, your resistance to whatever attempts to patronize you, as well as your rage. Exactly opposite her, the second, is Chariklo, the role model partner who understands, cares, shows patience and wants to heal her husband’s wounds.

You now realize that these two archetypal aspects of your femininity, as they square the Moon, divide your emotional world and bring out Shadows and Monsters (Scorpio), and as they square the Sun, they make you stubbornly cling to “your own” and make it difficult for you to find peace and tranquility within (Taurus).

And Chiron from Aries comes in its favorable aspect to Lilith and Chariklo to resolve this opposition and provide the solution. On the one hand you have the ability to put a balsam on the wound and heal it, or on the other you have the ability to use its pus and its poison and leave it exposed.

BUT Chiron will sooner or later bring you face to face with your inner pain. It reminds you that a prerequisite for having healthy and healed relationships is that you must first have done your own self-healing, be the example and help empirically to find a solution.

Only through overcoming the intense selfish element within yourself, overcoming frustration, understanding vulnerability and the importance of tenderness, of open and honest communication, and finally being willing to work for healing on a companionship level, ONLY then is it possible to overcome and ALCHEMISE the difficult energy of this Eclipse.

 

Become THE ALCHEMIST of your self!

The lunar eclipse in Taurus affects each and every one of us regardless of what Zodiac Sign we are. It will be intensely experienced by Scorpios, Taurus, Leos and Aquarians born in the middle of the second decanate of their Zodiac Sign or those of you who have personal planets or points in your horoscope at degrees 13°-20° of the above Signs.

 

An absolutely karmic and evolutionary eclipse occurs on November 8. A Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Taurus which will bring ups and downs, tipping over our emotional balance, bringing tensions and final break-ups, and which is what dramatists call a dramatic moment.

That is, that moment in a plot, which carries like many intertwined strands in one thread, various parallel stories, emotions, actions, pretexts, evasions, contradictions and decisions, all of which, each in its own way, have played their part in leading the heroine to where we see her now.

Alone, resolute, in the darkness, holding a night lamp in her hand, the orange yellow light an outline around her moves with her as she walks from one room to another in the brown black of the night’s silence.

She closes the door behind her. She walks…

As she reaches the center of the room, she stands for a moment. She listens… She observes… Every sound in the distance and every shadow flickering in the lamplight awakens an experience for her. They tell her something. She listens… She observes…

And in a sudden realization she continues her pacing toward a second door on the opposite side, reaches it, pulls a key from the wide pocket in the side of her plain cast dress, unlocks the door, glances briefly toward the other room, and then enters resolutely, closing the door behind her… the light fades with her, and in the darkness that remains the eclipse has already worked.

 

Totally karmic and evolutionary, a rare eclipse in which 7 astrological bodies are in aspects to the Moon’s Nodes. It is a New Chapter in your history, a transition from one room to another with definitive closing of cycles and opening of completely new ones.

It is an eclipse of Awakening. An Awakening triggered by the Moon in its conjunction with the North Node and Uranus and in its opposition to the South Node. An awakening that we need and you need.

It is an awakening that sets us on a path that leads to more harmony and abundance, to peace, tranquility and stability, if we demonstrate the proper upliftment of soul.

But an awakening that comes through a terrifying shock.

The path on which this eclipse sets us promises the desired as the end result, but in order to be aware of the path, its very presence, in order to make the necessary turn, we must first experience a shocking confrontation.

Our souls must first be torn in two by the counteracting forces of the energy of this eclipse. The old will collide with the new. We will readjust our comfort zone. We will be forced to refine the passions of our dark ego.

This eclipse leaves no room for safety and exposes bare all our insecurities by placing the wants in conflict with the needs.

Reactive behaviors. Overcoming toxicity.

Moving away from dark thoughts.

Logic and emotion in counter opposition as the mind goes crazy with the intensity of emotions and the emotion seeks a logical outlet to be expressed and to be experienced again in calm situations that currently do not exist.

Harsh words that hurt and thoughts that are restless and troubled.

Emotionally, romantically, financially, we feel the pressure and the need for change as everything seems to be in an environment of suffocation.

The heart desires but is it able? Will we let her?

Breakups are definite especially for those who have been wavering from 2021 until now.

Independence versus the need to be loved. Unexpected connections that will both upset and confuse.

Barriers to expression, emotional distress, self-criticism and guilt, lack of eroticism, emotional conflict, outbursts and hysteria as our very soul is suppressed.

Do you think I am writing all of the above at a guess? Or that I have any reason to scare you? Which, as you know, is not my habit at all.

Not at all, all of the above, each and every one sentence is a different aspect of the many that are formed in this incredibly complex eclipse. It is a likely and general interpretation of each and every aspect. (If I were to analyze each aspect with three or four possible manifestations, it would take four articles like this one).

Each one of the above sentences are those little strands that make up the thread I mentioned at the beginning. The thread that leads us bound by Karma to the climax of the dramatic moment and the decision points that lead us to something new evolutionarily.

We are right in the moment when we listen to the sounds and notice the shadows in the room. We need to hold the lamp up high to extend the light.

To have the key in our hand, to nicely and completely close the doors behind us and move on to the new chapter and the new path – which as I wrote to you at the beginning leads somewhere beautiful, we will need to have (whatever I write is an aspect):

Courtesy of emotion. Faith in our value. Gratitude for what we have, in the face of adversity. Moving away from selfishness. Being good listeners during the days of tension and difficulty.

To be able to communicate what we feel in a calm way. To focus our thoughts toward our purpose and what our heart wants and not let them become a prey to negativity.

To get drunk with excitement and find the courage to dare to do what our heart asks.

Saturn is squaring six planets in this eclipse and as it is square Uranus, one of the questions is whether the future will trump the past.

Chiron in a quincunx aspect to the Sun, Mercury and the South Node fills us with pain. A pain that is necessary to make the required cut and breakaway to our new becoming.

Neptune’s trine aspects to Venus, Sun and Mercury are the most helpful aspects in the dark room. They are the light of the lamp held by the heroine as through true love, forgiveness, faith in miracle, inspiration, creativity, and in the end, faith in God, they light our next steps and help us to cross the dark room of the eclipse to a new and better tomorrow.

This eclipse is what dramatists call a dramatic moment. Difficult, dark, necessary but also one which opens the door to something far better than today. Let us all show at this moment our very best.

LUNAR ECLIPSE 19 NOVEMBER 2021

By astrologer, Andrew Ifandis

 

The Lunar Eclipse takes place at 27°14′ of the Sign of Taurus.

This eclipse will be of more importance to those belonging to the Signs of the Fixed Cross (Taurus, Scorpio, Leo and Aquarius), and more specifically those born from February 14 to 18, from May 16 to 20, from August 18 to 22 and from November 17 to 21.

Also, to those who have personal planets or their Ascendant near the degrees 11° – 15° and 25° – 29° of the above Signs.

THE MEANING OF ECLIPSES

Once more we are in Eclipses period, a time that brings changes and confronts us with important and meaningful realizations.

Significant in Astrology, the Eclipses are pushing us, sometimes through difficulties, to leave behind patterns of behavior, people and situations, that no longer serve us, even when we ourselves do not realize it. The Eclipses “push” us, whether we want to or not, to write the next chapter in our personal history.

 

THE LUNAR ECLIPSE IS THE FIRST IN THE TAURUS – SCORPIO AXIS

On November 19, 2021 we have a Taurus Lunar Eclipse, the first of the two Eclipses that close 2021, and also the first of the eclipses that take place on the Taurus-Scorpio Axis. Mark that this is the axis that will host all (!) of the eclipses in 2022.

The Lunar Eclipse on November 19th, brings emotional peaks that relate to the theme of the Taurus – Scorpio, and forces us to turn the page, leave situations behind, or even completely change our perceptions as to what financial and emotional security really means and what makes us strong.

Relationships, situations, people, and even jobs that don’t fulfil us emotionally will most possibly come to an end soon after this eclipse, or ALTERNATIVELY this eclipse marks the beginning of their end that will come within the next six to seven months.

 

THE MAIN THEMES

It is existential issues that are raised by this eclipse.

What do we want from our lives? What fills our soul?  What is better, to live in a golden cage or follow your true Nature at all costs? Do we feel self-sufficient? Is it that maybe we have placed our value and therefore our strength upon someone or something else?

The Lunar Eclipse in Taurus will clearly reveal, power plays and power games, and make us deeply aware of how and why they exist. After this, nothing will be the same…

There is a great intensity of emotions that this eclipse will bring to the fore and unfortunately, we will may act with exaggeration and lack of moderation, since what we have so long suppressed will suddenly and unexpectedly overwhelm us. It is the overflowing of the emotional dam after many attempts to keep up appearances.

Excess of feeling and also a desire for liberation for some others, as this Eclipse will spark a desire for independence and liberty.

It is advisable to weigh all risks and not act on excessive optimism and frivolous decisions. Control your impulses and avoid overstatements.

 

UNEXPECTED TURNS AND HIDDEN MOTIVATIONS

This Eclipse will also bring sudden twists and turns that you did not expect. This is because Mars in opposition to Uranus is an aspect of the eclipse that acts revolutionary, explosively and turns things upside down, further accelerating the inevitable changes.

This aspect can also, make – especially those of you who have personal planets near 13° of the Taurus-Scorpio axis, to announce important and long – thought decisions that will surprise and upset others with your revelations!

And I say this because in the chart of the eclipse at 12° and 13° degrees where Mars and Uranus are, there exists the “calculating towards self-interest” help of Venus at 12° Capricorn.

Venus from this point is in trine aspect to Uranus and a sextile to Mars, something that suggests that the sudden announcement is not sudden at all, and that behind the seemingly impulsive decisions, there is… calculation, self-interest and secret motives.

 

LUNAR ECLIPSE IN TAURUS SUMMARY

I would like to end my analysis of this very difficult eclipse, which will affect us all, by prompting you to be cautious for accidents, especially if you are in one of the Fixed Zodiac Signs, as well as of “accidents” of another nature, since the Jupiter-Moon square combined with the whole energy of the eclipse can bring unexpected pregnancies.

This is a difficult eclipse but fortunately there is a positive aspect as the Moon is in a trine to Pluto in Capricorn – separating though so less powerful.

This aspect gives us emotional strength, stubbornness and hardens us to face any difficulties. It is also an aspect that makes us strong and gives us the determination to go ahead on difficult decisions. Decisions that we ourselves will have made, and that will have to do with ending situations that do not suit us.

It is, I would say, an eclipse that holds tremendous potential.

A potential that whether expressed with emotional turmoil and sudden movements, or through an emotional climax and a steely determination to leave situations behind… at the end of the day will push us to take necessary and important steps forward.

 

I wish you to all to have a positive eclipse that will move you onwards!

LUNAR ECLIPSE IN SAGITTARIUS – 5 JUNE 2020: Concealed Feelings – The Temporary Mask

Posted on by Andrew Ifandis
Sharing is caring:

LUNAR ECLIPSE IN SAGITTARIUS 5 JUNE 2020

The Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius is especially important for those who belong to the Signs of the Mutable Cross (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces), and especially to those born between March 3 – 7, June 3 – 7, September 5 – 9, and December 4 – 8. This eclipse is also important to those having personal planets or their Ascendant near the 13° – 17° degrees of the above Signs.

We are now entering the era of eclipses …

The hands of the Cosmic clock continue to turn on their perpetual motion, and it is within this period, that begins with the Lunar Eclipse on June 5th, culminates with the Solar Eclipse on June 21st, and ends with the Lunar Eclipse on July 5th, where the clock will be heard striking loudly three times.

It has been a pivotal and pressing year 2020, for which I have talked to you about since the end of last year. It is a 2020 that is characterized by six (6) !! eclipses, and the period in which we are about to enter, is the culmination of the year, with three consecutive and significant eclipses and up to five (5) !! simultaneously planets being retrograde.

It is a period characterized by revisions and tension, during which, with each stroke of the cosmic clock, our course becomes either the more or the less difficult, depending on our reactions and the decisions we are called to make.

The June the 5th Eclipse as part of the triad of eclipses

The Lunar Eclipse of June 5th is the first of three consecutive eclipses in this Summer. It takes place in the Sagittarius Sign, and is followed by a Solar Eclipse in Cancer and a Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn.

This first eclipse affects relationships and collaborations and if we see it in combination with the next two, it prepares us and sets the frame for what is to follow.

It is with this eclipse that the emotional tension is building up to the events that the Solar Eclipse that follows will bring, and in a continuation of those events further emotional responses will come out resulting in final decisions, with the third and final eclipse.

This eclipse is also the first of a series of eclipses on the Gemini – Sagittarius Axis. This series will continue to occur on this Axis after the Summer, from November 2020 and for the next year and a half until December 2021, when the eclipses on the Gemini – Sagittarius will be over.

An example of how this eclipse may work along with the two eclipses that follow on the Cancer – Capricorn Axis, is influences relating to:

How do we feel about where our expansion lies?

What is our personal truth?

and how can this truth be communicated? (Gemini-Sagittarius Axis).

It is a series of eclipses that potentially cause moral dilemmas and concerns, resulting in revisions and rethinking for issues relating to our professional aspirations and our family. (Cancer – Capricorn axis).

Under the combined energy of these eclipses, we wonder, whether our vision and our enthusiasm for a change towards a new truth of existence, is at the same time advocating that we will finally feel safe in this new destination that we yearn for.

In which house? In what job? Which person will be the one who will take care of us and we will take care of also? What are the responsibilities that we are willing to shoulder, before this is done, as well as afterwards?

 

LUNAR ECLIPSE IN SAGITTARIUS – JUNE 5, 2020

The Eclipse takes place at 15°34′ of the Sagittarius Sign and is mainly characterized by the following astrological features:

  • The great planets Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto are retrograde in the Capricorn Sign.
  • Venus is also retrograde in the Gemini Sign and is actively involved in the eclipse.
  • Mars is in a tight square aspect to the two Lights.

LUNAR ECLIPSE IN SAGITTARIUS 5 JUNE 2020

Let us feel for a while the eclipse chart…

The eclipse takes place with the Moon in Sagittarius, thus emphasizing issues related to education, travel, teaching, philosophy. It strongly brings forth issues of how we perceive things and what is our world-view, relating to our expansion, our development and our faith.

It is an eclipse, that after the last events and the days of Saturn-Pluto’s quarantine, awakens in all of us the need to travel and of sunsets on distant horizons.

Awakes our nostalgia for a lost carelessness…

It is our longing for self-expression with Truth.

However, this longing is overshadowed by the practical issues brought about as social distancing still applies.

Whom to relate with and whom to touch? (Venus Retrograde in Gemini).

“In a context of hyper-information and info-pandemic, and the prevailing logic of the media and the social media (Sun in Gemini), just after the Saturn-Pluto lock-down, we inevitably feel that we are not allowed to feel excitement, to travel and feel carefree (Moon in Sagittarius)….A latent fear is pervasive for what is to come, and we don’t know what to believe to be true.”

The above sentence best describes the combined influence of the retrogrades, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto on our psycho-synthesis, as it is shaped by the Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius.

A longing for the true and for carelessness that does not take place as a series of revisions have inwardly begun.

Revisions of what is ultimately essential and what benefits us, revisions of where our boundaries are, and revisions of our deepest desires.

Let’s not forget that Fear begins where the boundaries we set against others and situations dissolve.

Think about it…

and think also, that during the past days none of us has been able to set our own limits, but instead has humbly followed state, and social responsibility directives (Saturn and Jupiter in Capricorn), but at the expense of his own self-expression, resulting now… in deeper desires and psychological processes to be stirred.

Am I worth? and how much?

Should I be socially active and how much?

Even finding yourself wondering how beautiful you look with the protective mask over your mouth is a new and unprecedented aesthetic issue (Venus retrograde to Gemini).

This Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius invites us externally to want to make a long journey but ultimately causes an inner journey through which the perceptions we’re having about ourselves, the value we give and receive, and what is that our soul really longs, are redefined.

The intensity of the eclipse and the revisions caused by the retrograde planets are activated even more by the exact square that Mars makes to the Sun and Moon.

Mars in Pisces square to the Sun in Gemini: We want to act on the basis of an ideal. We want to confirm our ego ten times more than necessary, resulting in an outburst of energy and aggression with verbal expressions.

Mars in Pisces square to the Moon in Sagittarius: Emotions boil. Victimization that results from repressed but also hidden emotions. Inaction and lack of enthusiasm.

Both, Mars’ position in Pisces engaged with the Lights, and its applying conjunction to Neptune, that is at 20° Pisces, speak only of psychological tension that arises as a result of the unattainable of our desires

The Mars-Neptune meeting in Pisces is the charm of the dreamer who deceitfully ignites the emotions and demands action here and now, pushed by the T-Square that Mars makes to the two lights.

But to act is not favored, since the landscape is deceptive, and any step forward is passive, helpless, and weak.

No. We must not make decisions now because our information is partial, and our emotions are tense and affected. We need to take advantage of the time and psychological stirring that this eclipse creates, and to react as and when, is appropriate.

The only positive outcome for the intensity of this Lunar eclipse in Sagittarius is the sextile aspect formed by Mercury at 09°05‘of Cancer to Uranus at 08°47′ of Taurus.

Shortly before turning retrograde, Mercury with this aspect aids as long as we think outside the norm and outside the social new norm. It calls us to use our intuition but also to turn again to the experiences of the past and that which made us feel safe. The Past which we will soon visit mentally, with the retrogradation of Mercury in Cancer, can be used as a guide on how to shape our choices in the days to come.

The Mercury – Uranus sextile is an aspect that will make things easier for Water Signs (Cancers, Pisces and Scorpios), as well as Taurus and Virgo, born at the end of the first decan.

LUNAR ECLIPSE IN SAGITTARIUS 5 JUNE 2020

Summary of the Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius

For Mutable Signs, those born in the middle of the second decan, but also for Signs born in the middle of the second decan and which belong to the element of Fire or Air, this eclipse needs special attention, since they will feel it even more intensely.

Those of you who belong to the above Signs are likely to experience:

  • Emotional Instability
  • Fluctuating Emotions
  • Frustrations – Deceits in emotional and financial matters
  • Anger and conflict in relationships or collaborations
  • Feelings of boredom
  • Revelations of secrets that will lead to conflicts in your important relationships

Especially for Gemini, Libra and Aquarius Signs, or those of you who have planets or points in your Horoscope close to the 12° of Gemini or Sagittarius, this eclipse can bring back love stories from the past that will upset you.

EPILOGUE

The Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius causes feeling of nostalgia and the need for carelessness. It is an eclipse that simply seeks to reveal to us our personal truth after a difficult period of pressure, fear and confinement. However, it requires special attention because of idealizations and delusions still lingering, and does not favor immediate action.

As the first stroke of the cosmic clock sounds for all of us, what we need to keep in mind is:

  • We are developing a new understanding of what we are looking for, from existing relationships and partnerships.
  • We remain intuitively inactive, as self-delusion & idealizations do not favor immediate action.
  • We pay special attention to verbal confrontations and attacks that may provoke quarrels or separations.
  • We do not blindly invest in a new relationship, but we listen to our intuition
  • Relationships that begin now can have a bitter end
  • We take care of our finances.

It is an eclipse that, like the mask we wore or continue to wear on our face for protection, invites us to stay hidden for a while longer, without immediately expressing our feelings, tense as they are, because there is risk of conflict or misjudgment.

The mask is necessary, but it is temporary.

Pay special attention to the Astrological Houses that the eclipse activates in your personal horoscope, because in the days just before and shortly after the eclipse occurs, issues related to these Houses will come to the fore along with information that will help you and reveal to you higher truths.

About yourself and others.

LUNAR ECLIPSE IN CANCER 10 JANUARY 2020

LUNAR ECLIPSE IN CANCER – 10 JANUARY 2020: Under Pressure

Posted on by Andrew Ifandis

LUNAR ECLIPSE IN CANCER 10 JANUARY 2020

The Lunar Eclipse in Cancer is especially important for those who belong to the Signs of the Cardinal Cross (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn), and especially those who are born between January 8 – 12, April 8 – 12, July 10 – 14, and October 11 – 15. This eclipse is also important to those having personal planets or their Ascendant near the 18° – 22° degrees of the above Signs.

 

The first eclipse of the new year 2020 and the first eclipse of the decade, takes place on January the 10th.

It may be a soft-shaded penumbral Lunar Eclipse, but unfortunately, it is an eclipse that casts a heavy shadow, completely darkening our moods and psychology.

For some of you, that are having personal planets or points of your horoscope at 20° of the Cardinal Signs, this eclipse has already been activated, when Saturn was passing from the 20° degree of Capricorn. This happened around December the 20th 2019, and together with the Total Solar Eclipse on December the 26th has already brought events.

The Eclipse takes place in the Sign of Cancer and its effect relates to issues of family, warmth, maternity, emotion, and security.

It sets, our responsibilities and obligations as defined socially, against our need to give and receive nurture and protective love.

It is an eclipse that brings on, an intense emotional charge that stems from a profound conflict.

It is a contrast between our nostalgia to return to the timelessness of childhood and into carefreeness, against the strict, conservative landscape of everyday life.

It is a psychological burden, as, on the one hand, we feel an urgent need for emotional transformation and regeneration, and on the other hand, we fear the intensity of the impending change.

This Lunar Eclipse in Cancer, described in less literary terms, is the pressure felt between our deepest needs, and the imperatives, the responsibilities and the maturity of our adult life. 

A life that is usually defined and evaluated in terms of success and status. Success, that as is often the case, has been built with emotional cost and is maintained with conventions.

A veil of oppressive emotionality will overshadow relations and partnerships, for those of you who happen to have personal planets or points of your horoscope, between 19° to 22° degrees of the Cardinal Signs.

LUNAR ECLIPSE IN CANCER 10 JANUARY 2020

 

This Eclipse combines and coincides with three major astrological events:

  • It takes place two days after the conjunction of planet Jupiter to the South Node at 8 ° 26 ‘Capricorn.
  • One day after the Eclipse planet Uranus returns to direct, on January 11th.
  • And of course, two days later, on January the 12th, we have the Saturn – Pluto conjunction, a much-debated meeting, the results of which we will see throughout the year 2020.

This meeting is a focal point of restructuring at all levels. It is the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new and perhaps painful birth/rebirth, both on a personal and on a global level.

A cycle that has already brought, within the last 18 months, and which will continue to bring for most of 2020, significant changes and events in the lives of Capricorn, Cancer, Libra, and Aries Signs, born at the beginning of the third decan, at the beginning of the first decan, as well as in the middle of the second decan, as the effect of the eclipses combined with the conjunctions of the two planets, is for them strongest.

All of the above work combined.

LUNAR ECLIPSE IN CANCER 10 JANUARY 2020

Saturn, and Pluto, and Mercury, are all conjunct the Sun and at the same time in opposition to the Moon.

Thoughts, thoughts, thoughts.

Moral checks and imperatives, ethical, professional, and in the family.

Emotion or logic, instinct or responsibility, osmosis or setting of our boundaries, and our sense of security is receiving the pressure from the heavy Saturn-Pluto artillery, that stirs within the need for a responsible and at the same time difficult transformation.

This pressure and these increased demands are felt while at the same time a new cycle begins, a cycle in which we want to realize put our ideas for change, freedom, and independence into practice.

It is the planet Uranus, that after a long period of examining what it is that we need to feel free, is now turning direct, and clearly shows us where our sense of security lies, and how it combines with our longing for self-expression.

And here is where the clash lies.

Amidst a suffocating frame of pressure from the Sun-Saturn conjunction, the existential restructuring of the Sun-Pluto conjunction, and the not compulsive, neither phobic, but certainly heavy and persistent thoughts that Mercury creates in his meeting with the two planets …

… our liberation, we can surely understand, is a difficult affair.

 

Multiple pressures, but please think, if you are one of those who strongly accept the energy of this eclipse, that you are a diamond that is still in the making.

A diamond that forms as suffocating pressures transform (Pluto), the structure (Saturn), of your core (the Sun), squeeze sensitivity and tenderness (Cancer Moon), on and on, until the desired rebirth, and the creation of your new crystal form.

Here are some examples of how this eclipse may turn out:

  • Pressure and hard work which combined with responsibility and ethics will lay firm foundations, for Capricorns, Taurus, Virgo Signs near 20° – 22°
  • Demands and control exerted by authority figures create conditions of pressure, lack of confidence in ourselves, and difficult business opportunities. Difficulties also in the emotional life and in financial matters for Cancer, Libra, and Aries Signs with personal planets or points between degrees 18° – 22°
  • Beware of manipulative behaviors from your partner, as those of you with Venus at 22° of the Cardinal Cross may find yourself in dilemmas and pressures in your relationships. – Also pay attention to unexpected pregnancies, as the Saturn-Pluto conjunction in a hard aspect to your Venus, may result in your relationship becoming “official” due to a pregnancy, which was not entirely ‘accidental’ but … premeditated manipulation!

As we said in the beginning, this eclipse occurs two days after the Jupiter South Node conjunction.

This means that under the pressing energy of the eclipse, and in order to withstand the pressure without breaking, but instead to become the diamond that we talked about, we need to:

  • Develop a new moral attitude, without repeating the mistakes of the past
  • Release karmic load through forgiveness
  • Reject worldviews and philosophies that no longer serve and must be left behind.
  • Beware of exaggeration, immodesty, and avoid the repetition of bad habits.

It is a pivotal point, it is a pivotal year 2020, both socially and personally for everyone.

This eclipse begins or continues the circles of pressure, but for some of you, it is the final curtain for situations that have lingered on.

It takes place exactly opposite the Solar Eclipse of July 13th 2018, that was at 20° 41′ Cancer.

Therefore, this eclipse now comes to definitive close cycles that opened or began in the summer of 2018, and especially for those of you that are having your ascendant or mid-heaven near the 20° degrees of the Cardinal Signs.

Epilogue

The Lunar Eclipse on Cancer of January the 10th is a pressing eclipse that brings difficult awareness.

It asks for forgiveness, removal from the karmic weight, and life-changing revisions, but it simultaneously opens the way towards new evolutionary paths, albeit difficult ones.

Those of you who are most affected, remember the… diamond!

Because the way we respond to stress and the changes that happen in our lives determines how things will continue.

It requires patience, responsibility, morals and restrain.

Be pressurized… responsibly.

LUNAR ECLIPSE IN CAPRICORN - 16 JULY 2019

LUNAR ECLIPSE – 16 JULY 2019: Under the spiraling gyre – Part II

Posted on by Andrew Ifandis
Sharing is caring:

LUNAR ECLIPSE IN CAPRICORN - 16 JULY 2019

This particular eclipse is especially important for those who belong to the Signs of the Cardinal Cross (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn), and who are born between July 15 – July 19, October 16 – October 20, January 12 – January 16, and April 12 – April 16.

Also to those having personal planets or their Ascendant near the 22° – 26° degrees of these Signs.

We are now deep into the eclipse season.

This is a period of significance.

I am warning you. I am going to be straightforward. I am going to be poetic. I am not going to caress your ears.

 

The Theme of the Eclipse – Individual Level

The partial Lunar Eclipse of July the 16th takes place at 24°04′ of the Sign of Capricorn.

It follows the Solar Eclipse in Cancer that took place two weeks ago, and as such it represents our emotional climax and response to issues that then started. It is the emotional reaction to the demands that are now beginning to appear.

And the emotional response seems to be quite, not to say extremely, heavy.

Pluto is conjunct the Moon in this eclipse. The Moon is in Capricorn, something that already makes her pragmatic and strict. Utilitarian and craving respect under the Pluto influence becomes obsessive or possessive, jealous or conspiring.

Emotions are at a peak. This is a Full Moon. This is an Eclipse. A Full Moon that is shadowed temporarily, eclipsed, loosing its tenderness and warmth, as the light from the Sun in Cancer that in a sense was giving her, is now blocked.

This will affect relations. Or this may be the start of an on-going emotional eclipse that will culminate in January 2020 with its end results in the summer of 2020.

LUNAR ECLIPSE IN CAPRICORN - 16 JULY 2019Moon is conjunct Saturn also. On top to the deep psychological examination that the conjunction with Pluto brings, heavy lies the burden of responsibilities. Work versus family life. Sadness.

On the other side of the chart Venus is conjunct the Sun and opposite Saturn.

This Venus – Saturn opposition reinforces the theme of detachment in our relationships but does not yet herald the split or the breaking up. It is the recognition of the stagnation, of the boundaries in affection and love. The difficulty to reach out.

Financial problems may also befall those hit close by this eclipse. While money cannot be made out of thin air, the emotional shortage can at least be prevented.

Get out of the Moon – Pluto – Saturn zone and reach on the other side of the chart to the Sun conjunct Venus. There is help there.

Reflect as Mercury retrogrades from Leo into Cancer:

  • Is this pressure that causes emotional and existential stress on my family life worth?
  • Do I need the professional spotlight? Do I need to crave attention? (Mercury Rx in Leo)?

or

  • is it better if I focus on what it is that the other person needs?
  • Be gentle, be kind, be attentive to the needs of the important ones in your life.
  • As the power games appear, turn to your sweeter side.
  • You may have less money but you become rich by displaying affection.
  • Be intuitively present for the others and do it politely and with no expectations.
  • Use the positive expression from the Sun conjunct Venus in Cancer.

Look to the easing of the opposition.

Neptune is sextile Saturn and trine to Venus and the North Node of the eclipse chart.

Neptune is selfless wholeness.

Its sextile to Saturn is constructive belief and grounded faith. Its trine to Venus is devotion and devout.

This devout feeling or the very faith in the value of yourself, gives the needed rebirth (Pluto) to the emotions (Moon). Ii is a baptism in faith (Neptune).

Request your Astrology or Eclipse Reading by Andrew Ifandis

This is a DIFFICULT eclipse. Use Astrology. Use the eclipse’s chart for your emotional benefit. (Pluto conjunct Moon in Capricorn – in its positive expression).

This eclipse is monumental in the way it reshapes our emotional centre in the areas it affects in the chart.

 

Will the centre hold?

“Be full with passionate intensity and don’t lack conviction” in this spiraling gyre of the eclipses and the synodic cycles, as the great poet W.B. Yeats would have said.

I warned you I would be poetic…haven’t I?

 

The eclipse effect for the Signs

(applies for rising sign also or natal placements of personal planets near the degree of the eclipse)

 

The eclipse is difficult highlighting issues relative to the houses and the planets it falls on in the natal chart, for Aries, Cancer, Libra Signs, especially those mentioned in the start of the article.

It is empowerment through increased pressure and responsibilities for Capricorn Signs,especially those mentioned in the start of the article. because they tend to respond better to the Saturnine Energy, even if it’s oppressive.

It is a revisiting of the past or the past re – appearing in the form of persons or situations mostly for Leo and Scorpios and to a lesser extent for Aquarius.

It mostly works neutral to positive for Taurus, Virgos, Pisces, Gemini and Sagittarius Signs.

The Lunar Eclipse will be fully visible from nearly all countries in the world, with the exception of United States, Canada and North-Eastern Russia.

 

Continue on here to see how this eclipse will affect us on a mundane level.

LUNAR ECLIPSE IN CAPRICORN - 16 JULY 2019

This particular eclipse is especially important for those who belong to the Signs of the Cardinal Cross (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn), and who are born between July 15 – July 19, October 16 – October 20, January 12 – January 16, and April 12 – April 16.

Also to those having personal planets or their Ascendant near the 22° – 26° degrees of these Signs.

We are now deep into the eclipse season.

This is a period of significance.

I am warning you. I am going to be blunt, I am going to be straightforward. I am going to reference the symbolism of poetry. I am to give you a snapshot of the eclipse(s) that is (are) coming.

 

It is not the end of the world. Never will it be.

The Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn on July the 16th is not the most difficult eclipse. On the contrary, it has some aspects that are good and it may work very positive on an individual level for some of the Signs.  – Read Part II

 

But though not the most difficult, it is nevertheless a VERY DIFFICULT eclipse.

It marks the first taste of the Saturn – Plutonic pressure that is going to resonate during the first half of 2020 as we approach the Saturn – Pluto conjunction.

 

The eclipse at a mundane level

In the mundane expression of this eclipse now begins the lifting of the heavy burden and the upcoming overturn. Now is the upsetting.

There is a cosmic relation between this lunar eclipse and the lunar eclipse that is coming on January the 10th of 2020. Two days before the conjunction of the heavy artillery of planet Saturn and planet Pluto on 22°46’ of Capricorn.

This one takes place at 24°04 of Capricorn while the January one takes place on 20° precisely.

Do you get the picture?

The conjunction is at 22°, and the two eclipses are, the first one two degrees ahead, and the latter, two degrees before.

22° is sandwiched between the two eclipses with heavy metal music playing on the 20° and 24°.

“Emphasized 22° degree, so what?”, one may ask.

But it is not this only…

There is also an emphasis on the 20th degree, relating to last July’s eclipse on the 13th of the month that took place on 20°41’ of Cancer and…

…and Mercury, that is retrograde during this eclipse, will station direct exactly on 24° of Cancer also. (23°56’ to be precise).

This is not only a cosmic “sandwich” upon the 22° degrees of the Cardinal Signs but also a heavy bombardment of energy both on 20° and 24°degrees, starting with this eclipse and ending on January 2020.

On a mundane level we are now entering a period where the traditional structures and the global power dynamics are shifting irrevocably.

LUNAR ECLIPSE IN CAPRICORN - 16 JULY 2019

The Cancer – Capricorn nodal axis of the eclipses and the Saturn – Pluto conjunction, redefine and reshape the extent to which less powered nations will accept the pressure of globalization and corporations.

Boundaries will reshape. Nationalism versus Globalism. Distribution of power will be challenged. Development will be framed because unchecked, it is consuming the planet.

To nurture and care (Cancer) for the many will become a paramount request. People over profits, (Pluto in Capricorn).

How power is exerted (Capricorn) in relation to issues of homeland, nationality and tradition (Cancer) becomes important.

These are the warring elements at the end of the Saturn – Pluto synodic cycle. This is how the world chess game will play out with all the pressure on the central 22° degree.

 

Will the centre hold?

“The center cannot hold” as the great poet W.B. Yeats would have said, under this spiraling gyre of the eclipses and the synodic cycles.

 

I warned you I would be symbolic, haven’t I?

 

 

The Lunar Eclipse will be fully visible from nearly all countries in the world, with the exception of United States, Canada and North-Eastern Russia.

 

Continue on here to see how this eclipse will affect you on an individual level.

The eclipse at a cosmic level

The Total Lunar Eclipse takes place on January 20 or 21, 2019, depending on where on the world we are.

In the archetypal conflict that this lunar eclipse represents, expressed by the position of the Sun in Aquarius in opposition to the Moon in Leo, two more astrological factors are added.

The first is that the axis of the eclipse is in the signs of Capricorn and Cancer and the second that the planet Uranus is in a square aspect to the two Lights, a basic and defining aspect as we have already said in our analysis of the influence of this eclipse on an individual level.

All the sparkling electricity, and the revolutionary or subversive action of the planet Uranus, that is now moving direct, is beginning to find a way out, and this fact shows us emphatically that at the cosmic level we will see protests and uproars in the coming months.

 

The two January eclipses combined.

If we combine the above factors, the intensity of this eclipse at a cosmic level results from a conflict between leadership (Leo) and political bodies or collective movements (Aquarius), since important for the general development (Nodal Axis), is how power is exerted (Capricorn) in relation to issues of homeland, nationality and tradition (Cancer).

This Lunar eclipse signifies the impact of the situations that began with the Solar Eclipse that preceded it. Thus, these two eclipses in combination can mean:

The way power is handled by technocratic and logistic structures, and the empowerment of oppression and control (Capricorn), cause immediate and rapid awareness in the masses.

Awareness associated with how governments exert their power (Solar Eclipse in Capricorn) are now causing a crisis between leaders (Leo Moon) and collective or political bodies (Sun in Aquarius)

or

Challenge the pride of the People (Moon in Leo) who reacts (Sun in Aquarius), joining the individual action with the collective process.

These awareness culminate emotionally, and within a short time they bring fights or protest that relate both to the sense of security and to issues of homeland (Cancer).

Lunar Eclipse in Leo 21 January

 

Cosmic Level – Anatomy of the Aspects

The square of Sun to Uranus shakes the dull everyday life, brings a reaction towards figures of power, and creates a break with everything that wants to patronize our individual expression in the name of the common goal. It is the eccentric autonomy that does not want boundaries and limitations. It is the rebellious ego within us.

The square of Moon to Uranus is the outbreak of the tension. The anxiety and the agitation that cumulatively burst with an excitement of electrical tension. Upheaval in our family and home life.

The square of Mercury to Uranus is unexpected news, nerves and cerebral tension. Commotion in transportation and reversals of plans. Sudden events related to media.

The square of Uranus with the Moon’s Nodes brings the energy of the planet into the heart of the events and gives its strong stigma for the following period with collective reactions.

The square of Mars to Saturn, in an almost precise aspect, is conflict with law, discipline, prevention, fatigue, limited action, anger, and conflict.

Vision of the days to come

It is obvious that the Total Lunar Eclipse of January hides pressure and eruptive events that we will soon see develop. Examples are the latest political developments in Greece and reactions in France and England (Brexit), dealing with national issues and the exercise of power.

The Total Lunar Eclipse is fully visible in all its phases (penumbral, partial, total) from all the countries in North and South America, from the United Kingdom, Portugal, Norway and Sweden.

It is also visible in the phases of partial and total eclipse, from the rest of Europe and from Northwest Africa.

In the above regions it is that we shall witness the events that the eclipse brings.

Coming Full Circle

The Total Lunar Eclipse on January 21, 2019 brings down the curtain of the eclipses on the Leo – Aquarius axis.

It takes place at 0° 51′ degrees of Leo and completes a long series of eclipses happening on the above axis. Eclipses, that since February 2017, and combined with planet Uranus entering in the Sign of Taurus, have signaled significant, difficult or in some cases even painful changes for several of the Signs of the Fixed Cross.

This blood moon eclipse that once again activates the first degrees of the Fixed Signs, something that last summer has created tensions with:

  • Either sudden break-ups,
  • Or considerations to ending our relationship, that eventually were dismissed in an attempt to renew it, despite the emotional suffocation,
  • Or separations that seemed to be definitive.

All of the above are also true for partnerships and professional or other close personal relationships.

Now the circle closes and this eclipse marks for the Signs of the Fixed Cross, and even more for those in the degrees I mention in the introduction, definitive outcomes, since any turns and changes will have been completed by mid-April at the latest.

 

The Theme of the Eclipse – Individual Level

 

This eclipse follows the Solar Eclipse in Capricorn that took place two weeks ago, and as such it represents our emotional climax and response to the awareness that then started, and to the demands that are now beginning to appear.

With the Sun in the Sign of Aquarius and the Moon in the Sign of Leo, the eclipse brings to the fore situations that on the personal level relate to ourselves being part of a wider whole on one hand, and to our need for self-expression on the other.

With the Moon being close to the North Node in the Leo Sign, this eclipse invites us to leave behind detached or intellectual behaviors, that do not help us in important relationships and partnerships, and urges us to function by showing more passion and more emotion.

It is an eclipse that invites us to harmonize and work with others, but that also gives us the necessary space for creation.

Persons, relationships, and situations that do not help our self-expression will be left behind so that we can move forward with those who accept our healthy expression of who we are and who also give us their acceptance and their love.

 

This will of course not be easy.

Lunar Eclipse in Leo 21 January

 

In the archetypal conflict expressed by the position of the Sun in Aquarius and the Moon in Leo, the astrological factor added is the planet Uranus that makes a square aspect with the two Lights.

It is an eclipse that brings electrifying tension.

 

“Feelings have a bad knack. They burst suddenly. When you least expect it.”

Anton Chekhov

 

This phrase from the theatrical play “Uncle Vanya”, of the great Russian playwright, describes in the best way the energy of this very strong eclipse.

That is exactly how the situations will be finalized. That is how space will be made for us to go forward.

With sudden outbursts of emotions or reactions.

 

This is how we’ll be lead to definitive separations or, in some cases, to definitive reunions.

In so sudden a way we will become aware of who we are, who we are together with, and how we will move forward.

 

But the chart of the eclipse is not only tension.

It has the wonderful conjunction of Venus with Jupiter which finds both planets together in a trine aspect to Mars. An aspect of popularity that brings new acquaintances, love opportunities and favors action towards new collaborations.

This conjunction also forms a square aspect to Neptune, so our attention is needed, as we are permanently done with the past, to properly evaluate the new, and not make the mistake of having unrealistic expectations or coloring it with pink glasses.

So, on a personal level, this difficult eclipse may initially bring uncertainty and insecurity, but let us remember that with self-control, adaptability and acceptance of change, we will be able to manage the new situations and exploit the opportunities it will create for us.

FULL MOON IN ARIES SEPTEMBER 2018

FULL MOON IN ARIES SEPTEMBER 2018: The Dark Night of the Soul

FULL MOON IN ARIES SEPTEMBER 2018

This Full Moon in Aries will bring tension and tests to the relationships of Aries and Libra Signs and increased responsibility to home and career for Cancer and Capricorn Signs.

Planet Mars in conjunction to the South Node shall affect the Signs of the Fixed Cross (Leo, Aquarius, Scorpio, and Taurus).

This Full Moon has a potent dynamic and depending on where it falls on our personal horoscope it affects all of us that are having personal planets, angles and points in the above Signs, and especially those that are born in the first decan of these Signs.

An autumnal Full Moon in Aries is taking place on September 24th 2018.

The characterization autumnal is twice appropriate for this full moon, since besides its seasonal character, in addition it describes the mood that this full moon creates.

But let’s take first things first.

This is a Full Moon in Aries. The moon when in the Sign of Aries, though bold it may be, is at the same time an ego-centered, impatient moon that rushes headlong into confrontation if provoked. A Moon placed here makes us to respond quick and immediate to external stimuli, something that now that the Moon is fully lit by the Sun opposite her, is accentuated.

Every full moon is the tension of something culminating or coming to fulfillment and when the Aries Moon is fully opposite the Sun in Libra, the tension is others and relationships.

  • Should we be Competitive or Compromising?
  • Can we two work together?
  • Should we boldly express our needs or should we find delicate ways to make others understand what is that we want of them?

These are some of the themes of this archetypal opposition and this particular Full Moon in Aries brings these issues to the fore and moreover adds a tone of melancholy, heated discussions and embitterment in the whole mix.

Words may hurt

The main players of the Full Moon are each one conjunct to another body. Sun in Libra is making a conjunction with Mercury and Moon a conjunction with Chiron in Aries.

Try to imagine now how the mix is changed. It is very difficult for a person to compromise one opposition, let alone the four ones formed in the Full Moon in Aries chart.

  • Chiron opposes Sun
  • Chiron opposes Mercury
  • Mercury opposes Moon
  • Mercury opposes Chiron

The tension feels like a disagreement between an already wounded and touchy female and an intellectual and diplomatic man that tries to find a way to compromise without succumbing to emotional blackmail.

Especially with this Full Moon where Mercury is conjunct the Sun in Libra, common sense and logic require discussions and a climate of co-operation in order to avoid conflicts.

We have to communicate but at the same time we must be careful of what we are saying and how we are saying it, because Mercury in opposition with the Moon brings difficulties in expression and can make us communicate what we feel in a totally erroneous manner.

The woman’s hurt feelings cannot be easily soothed by the man’s logical approach. Regardless of how balanced and compromising words he may use, the opposition of Chiron to Mercury drags up memories of emotional pain.

“You talk to me with words, I talk to you with feelings”, she says.

 

 

Respect, Truth and Warmth

On top of these already over-emotional and stressed oppositions, planet Saturn stands as a merciless judge, being in a square aspect to all participating bodies.

Saturn is once more direct in the Sign of Capricorn from September the 6th, and now demands truth, integrity and responsibility. Within the aspect patterns of this full moon, Saturn is the focal planet of two T-squares that involve the Moon – Chiron conjunction on one side, and the Sun-Mercury conjunction on the other.

So if we include Saturn, we are having four more aspects that cast their gloom and somber tone on the picture.

  • Saturn squares Sun
  • Saturn squares Mercury
  • Saturn squares Moon
  • Saturn squares Chiron

To continue with the illustration I gave before, the man has to balance between being overly strict, resulting in exerting much emotional pressure on one side, and not clearly defining where his limits are, on the other, something that will result in the problem of them being crossed again.

He has to think clearly and be fair, avoiding misunderstandings and his darker expression.

The woman has to find the courage to overcome her sadness and fears and to cope with the situation understanding that it is a natural process towards addressing the relationship issues successfully and result in overall healing and well-being.

She does not have to feel inadequate, on the contrary, the square of Saturn the great teacher with Chiron the wounded healer, is a challenge to treat herself and her partner with respect and genuine warmth. It is the necessary friction that she has to transcend in order to cross the barrier of suffering and communicate her feelings with truth and kindness.

 

A trigger for closure

That would be the ideal, all of us to be able to grasp the hard aspects and to use them constructively and at will, but as we know this is more easily said than done.

This Full Moon in Aries is a pivotal Full Moon with Mars conjunct the South Node at 4° of the Aquarius Sign, a degree that is triggering the Lunar Eclipse of the 27th of July. All the issues that have emerged from the difficult summer have now to be faced and dealt with, even if risking a possible split or final loss.

Fortunately Mars is direct this time, and it is making a sextile to the Moon in Aries (that it also rules), and a trine to the Sun in Libra. Both aspects easing the tension and aiding discussions and the means to finding a common ground.

But in order to do so Mars demands co-operative spirit, healthy ego and the rationalization of the pent-up emotions in true Aquarian spirit.

We have to be patient also…

This Full Moon in Aries is the Dark Night of the Soul, a night with a potential for transformation through healing both for us and for our relations.

 

As Joseph Campbell said:

“The Dark Night of the Soul comes just before revelation.

When everything is lost, and all seems darkness, then comes the new life, and all that is needed.”
