FULL MOON IN CAPRICORN 13 JULY 2022

The deep sense of a transformative destiny

The Full Moon in Capricorn on July 13th is particularly complex from an astrological perspective. With many aspects and full of contradictions.

It has four planets in earth signs and three planets in water signs.

It mixes earth with water this Moon and molds with the clay of your soul goals and aspirations to transform yourself.

It stirs within you the need to discover the practical ways and material means to bring your ideas and dreams into the material realm. To give them form, by first… transforming yourself.

On one hand the Moon in Capricorn, practical and grounded, is yearning to take you to a destiny that deep down you know you are hiding.

On the other hand, the Sun in Cancer wants you to head towards it with caution and by ensuring that you will not compromise anything from your security.

The Sun-Moon opposition fills you with tension as you see clearly the situations and circumstances on which you depend emotionally and materially.

Situations which you will have to gradually overcome if you want to move forward on the path of emotional fulfillment and maturation.

This Full Moon is a contradictory blend of determination and careful reticence. A tangle of memories and future goals.

You feel sensitivity together with responsibility, and the nostalgia for the past is being drowned by practical matters of the present, and social obligations. Everything mixes in the clay and you begin to give it shape.

Listen carefully to what this Full Moon will stir within you as the Moon’s conjunction with Pluto calls for you to find your strength to achieve your goals.

But at the same time it intensifies your insecurity as you discover how manipulative those who have some type of power over you may become or how much, and unintentionally, those who need you and you care for are pushing you around.

 

The pressure is intense…

 

You want to break the mould with this Full Moon. To find your strength without losing your sensitivity at the same time. To make the quantum leap. To dare to demonstrate your true worth and who you really are.

Roles, roles, roles… and inside you a hidden child is dreaming visions of your future self.

Return to your childhood for a moment. Therein lie many of the answers you seek. Now, at this Full Moon, and with Mercury and Sun conjunct Cancer, you will find them… hidden beneath the dust of memory.

Dust your mind of suspicious thoughts. Clear your mind of ideas of power and social status, and let your intuition take over.

 

Pluto in Capricorn in opposition to Mercury and the Sun in Cancer will magnify your ego and fill you with material ambitions. But it’s empty to just have material things if you don’t have someone who cares about you and you care for.

Obligations… social, professional, familial. How do you cope and also how do you create meaningful relationships that involve caring and responsibilities?

These are the balances you are asked to find as your transformation takes place.

And this Full Moon, through its intensity, will take you there. …towards your transformation and your evolution.

 

How? Why?

 

Because the two Lights (Sun and Moon) form three (!) helpful trine-sextile aspects that help you to observe the contradictions of this Full Moon from a distance, and with more clarity.

The Sun and Moon in trine and sextile to the planet Uranus fill you with the necessary willingness to react internally and stop behaving based on the expectations of others. This is your breaking of the status quo, changing habits, cleansing and completely closing cycles. It is the most genuine and authentic expression of yourself that dares to overturn the norms. It’s a spirit of renewal where you previously felt constrained.

At the same time the Sun and Moon trine and sextile Neptune bring realizations about your dreams. Neptune is retrograde and yes, practical matters are now seen more realistically.

But just the fact that you see them more clearly, and as they are, means that the dreams you have can also be more achievable and you can be inspired by them instead of merely fantasizing.

The Sun and Moon in trine and sextile to the axis of the Lunar Nodes indicate something very, very important. That the time is right to create the destiny that your Soul truly craves.

No matter how much tension you experience under this Moon, its purpose is for you to make the right realizations and evaluate where you want to go. The Moon in trine with your North Node shows you both the purpose, and the path!

Through the pressure of the real and the nostalgia for lost childhood security, this new path opens up before you.

You want a future that is a comeback to your values. Its purpose is to have what you deserve and fulfills you, not what others tell you, ask you or want to impose on you.

As Neptune is sextile Pluto ( and both these planets are also involved in the Full Moon), and Saturn is trine Venus, you are now laying the groundwork for more spirituality, discovering your power through inner and outer catharsis, understanding, and you are defining your value!

This Full Moon is the culmination of psychological processes that have to do with completing your path to your true destiny…

It is powerful.

And without making any noise, it will set in motion processes that will have a long-lasting effect and contribute to significant changes that lead in a single direction…

A better version… of yourself!

 

I wish a happy full moon to all of you!!!

LUNAR ECLIPSE IN SCORPIO MAY 2022

The Lunar Eclipse takes place in the Sign of Scorpio, and is of special importance for ALL Zodiac signs, as each eclipse marks an evolutionary point for everyone.

It is especially difficult for Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius persons, especially those who have personal planets or horoscope angles between 23°-27° degrees.

Challenging for Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer, Virgo and Capricorn Signs, requiring faith and calmness.

It demands readjustments and a change of attitude for Aries, Gemini, Libra, and Sagittarius.

 

LUNAR ECLIPSE IN SCORPIO MAY 2022

A very difficult Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio takes place on May 15th or May 16th, depending on where you are in the world, which fills us with gloom and pessimism.

It is a critical eclipse that will surely distress us since our sense of security will be largely determined by our maturity and patience in dealing with situations.

 

Macbeth, Act 2, Scene 1

There’s a well-known line in Shakespeare’s Macbeth, in the scene where Macbeth is walking in the night, and hearing the sound of the castle bell echoing grimly, he monologues:

“I go and it is done. The bell calls me.

Don’t listen to it Duncan, for it is a sound that calls you to Heaven or Hell.”

 

The lunar eclipse in Scorpio has the same dark and grim mood as the bell Macbeth hears. The bell is tolling and depending on our reactions our path will be more or less difficult.

There are some helpful and positive aspects in the Eclipse chart but one thing is for sure, we will first have to go through the Darkness before we can come out into the Light again.

Saturn in Aquarius has been square to the Moon’s Nodes for some time now, and will continue to be for some time to come. From this position it calls us to act with responsibility and maturity, and to make choices where there is no room for excessive sentimentality or excessive rationalization.

In particular in this eclipse, Saturn is in addition in a tight square to the two Lights and its message is like the bell that Macbeth hears. So let us listen carefully, for its chime leads us down one of two paths:

One path leads to emotional stress and disappointment caused by our inability to deal with responsibilities in our relationship. It brings emotional detachment, coldness, sadness and pessimism. – This path is the dark night of the soul and we don’t want to take it.    IT IS NOT AN OPTION.

The other path leads to integrity and maturity. It requires patience and hard work, especially in how we respond to the emotional needs of our loved ones.

It is a difficult second path, through a dark tunnel, and along the way we need to understand what it is that really makes us feel safe. As we walk to the exit we need to have a clear understanding of the bigger picture for the future and to address our fears.

But this is very difficult with Mercury, the planet that characterizes all functions of thought and communication, retrograde, and also conjunct the Sun and in opposition to the Moon.

So great care is needed in what we say and how we say it because the Mercury-Moon opposition makes it difficult to express ourselves and can lead us to communicating our feelings in completely the wrong way, as the emotional strain is intense and we are under pressure.

 

It is preferable to take advantage of the introverted energy of this eclipse to better understand our own motivations, our own obsessions. Where we are possessive, why we are filled with fears and where our peace lies.

The tranquillity of Taurus, and not the complexity of Scorpio, is the aim of this eclipse.

We need to understand that a requirement of emotional security is TRUST, whereas in contrast, the dark brooding of insecurity only brings about further emotional suffocation and grows the Shadows…

 

Chiron conjunct Venus at 14° Aries is the healing power of Love shining like a star waiting for us on the way out.

But it’s also the bittersweet trauma of insecurity that we carry along the way…

 

Aiding the energy of the eclipse, the Mars-Neptune conjunction from the sign of Pisces acts like the lantern that lights our way through the dark tunnel. It is a conjunction that in trine – sextile to the Moon’s Nodes reminds us how crucial it is not to be impulsive, but to let go guided with our intuition.

It asks us to believe that the Universe is watching our back. Only in this way can material and emotional insecurities disappear.

Mars conjunct Neptune is the counterbalance to the phobias expressed by Saturn as it touches the Nodes with a square. It is Zen contemplation. To let ourselves go with the flow. It is FAITH to DARE to go towards our dream, to go towards our destiny.

 

So, as we hear the bell of this eclipse, we know that we will go down a dark path.

Let us dispel the Shadows cast by the negative manifestations of the Scorpio – Taurus axis with the Light cast by the lantern of inspiration, by the Light of our intuition. Let them dispelled by the Light of a determination that is not shaken by hesitation, that has Faith, and that empathizes.

Jupiter from the first-first degree of Aries promises a New Beginning after this Eclipse.

A beginning that will come… sooner or later. But that will come.

 

And the next, very favorable New Moon on May 30, promises the same as well.

 

Until then… keep the lantern bright.

NEW MOON IN ARIES 1 APRIL 2022

The New Moon takes place at 11°30′ of Aries Sign, and affects us all, but especially Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn persons born in the first days of the 2nd decan, as well as those of you who have personal planets or angles of your horoscope near the degrees 9°-13° of the above Signs. 

Influence is strong for Scorpio, Taurus, Virgo and Pisces Sings, born in the first days of the 3rd decan, as well as those of you who have personal planets or angles of your horoscope near the degrees 20°-24° of the above Signs. 

Attention because this will be a difficult New Moon, to Taurus, Leo, and Aquarius persons born in the first days of the 2nd decan.

Some decisions are as important as walking on the silver blade of a razor and trying to balance without falling and without cutting yourself.

The New Moon in Aries, which takes place on April 1 is a bittersweet Moon. It has two faces and invites us to choose through its completely mixed grid of energies how to express them and which of the two sides we will ultimately lean towards.

Aries’ impulsive energy is full of excitement and impatience. It calls us to action or reaction. It’s either a restart or a completely new beginning after coming full circle. Ego and individualism or redefining the ego and renewing it.

“We shall not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring. Will be to arrive where we started. And know the place for the first time.”

T.S. Elliot

We shall not cease, the poet writes, and then immediately goes on to talk about the end of exploration. End and beginning simultaneously, and infinitely, for the beginning and the end are the same locally but are different temporally, and existence itself is but a circle, within circles, within circles.

The full cycle of the Sun and Moon around the Zodiac brings us again to the first Zodiac of the endless Journey, Aries. It brings us back to the same point from where we started but we are called to look at ourselves and our relationships again with new eyes.

The conjunction of Chiron and this New Moon has on one hand the power to close cycles of trauma and to heal by inviting us to a new beginning.

But on the other hand, if we don’t consciously handle the energy of this moon, and if we don’t act equipped with the wisdom of the Master Centaur, we will only taste the bitter poison of rejection.

The New Moon in Aries is about healing in relationships of all kinds and about cleansing our own selfish attitudes.

Some days before, the squares of Venus and Mars to Uranus intensified and brought tensions in relationships.

Shortly thereafter, Venus’ conjunction with Saturn brought, in its positive manifestation, introversion and maturity, inviting us to consider what is worthwhile and what is not, and in its worst, detachment, numbness and deprivation of our joy.

This moon marks a new beginning just before two important conjunctions. That of Mars and Saturn in the sign of Aquarius on April 5th and that of Jupiter and Neptune in the sign of Pisces on April 12th.

The first is a difficult conjunction which asks us to arm ourselves with patience. It requires tempered reactions… It wants us not to force situations but instead to move slowly, calmly, responsibly, and most importantly without emotional outbursts and anger.

It is an aspect which requests maximum maturity and which in its good manifestation characterizes responsible leaders and gives management ability. From the sign of Aquarius, it calls us to act for the collective and the common, far from fixations and stuck ideas.

The second works completely in the opposite direction.

It is hope. It is vision. It is expansion of the soul and connecting to the universal. It summons higher frequencies through forgiveness.

It is satisfaction for the soul, as the beautiful, the pure, and the unconditional are both the aspiration and the ideal.

We empatize. Forgive, we are moved because the soul is part of the universe and it is only the soul’s OWN truth that is in alignment with the Divine Plan.

Jupiter conjunct Neptune is an aspect which if we are honest with our Soul will elevate us and lead us away from self-deception, and disappointments.

Three conjunctions (New Moon-Chiron, Mars-Saturn, Jupiter-Neptune), six possible manifestations which will only be determined by our free will and our degree of consciousness.

Poison, bitterness, anger and disappointment the completely negative extreme. Healing, cleansing, accountability of actions and a renewed vision infused with dreaming, the positive.

The Moon’s Nodes reflect the silver of the Moon and upon the thin silver blade of karma, we walk these days, towards the destiny that WE will create with our choices.

Venus in a separating square to the Lunar Nodes has already brought the first turning point regarding relationships.

Mars in an applying square to the Lunar Nodes is climaxing decisions and as ruler of the New Moon will trigger either a daring new beginning or an explosive new ending.

Saturn square to the Lunar Nodes, the Lord of Time and Karma, laughs as he knows he holds the keys for the fate of those of us who will not take it in our own hands.

And finally Jupiter and Neptune in a trine and a sextile to the Lunar Nodes have the last word and color the picture of the dream, that you who is reading these lines is seeing and dreaming…

Yet now…with New Eyes.

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.

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.

SOLAR ECLIPSE – 2 JULY 2019: The Past Is A Strange Place

SOLAR ECLIPSE IN CANCER 2 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 June 30 – July 4, October 2 – 6, December 30 –  January 3, and March 28 – April 1. Also to those having personal planets or their Ascendant near the 08° – 12° degrees of these Signs.

We have now entered the eclipse season.

This is a period of significance.

 

1. The motions in the sky

In July the planetary movements peak with two eclipses, one important retrogradation and one electrically-charged square.

July starts with a Total Solar Eclipse that takes place on the 2nd of the month.

This eclipse is part of the series of eclipses on the Cancer – Capricorn axis. These eclipses began with the Solar Eclipse in Cancer on July 13 2018, and shall continue throughout 2019, up until the summer of 2020, when they will be completed.

This cycle of eclipses in the Cancer – Capricorn axis coincides with the gradual approach of Saturn towards Pluto and their conjunction in the Sign of Capricorn in January 2020, two parallel astrological events that signal a period of 18 months that brings significant changes to Capricorn, Cancer, Aries and Libra Signs, since for them, the effect of the eclipses combined with the conjunction will be more strong.

Remember though, that eclipses are potent Astrological events and affect all of us, more or less, without exception.

Each eclipse’s effect always depends on the aspects it makes and on the houses it activates, in our personal horoscope.

2. The Eclipse

The Total Solar Eclipse of July the 2nd takes place at 10°37′ of the Sign of Cancer and is an eclipse that has a strong resonance to the past while at the same time it opens a window towards the future.

Behind its plain appearance, it conceals rather intricate themes, and besides its main effect on the Cardinal Signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) it also plays an important role for those born on the first days of the Fixed Signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius).

 

3. The darkening of the Sun

A Solar Eclipse is the Moon coming in front of the Sun.

It is a momentary lapse of reason and consciousness, and a plunge deep into the unconscious. Needs are felt deeply and come to the fore. The mind stops, the heart beats, dark lingers for a while, until finally the sun comes out again, bringing something new for our lives, something for which most of the times, we are not prepared.

Under this Total Solar Eclipse in Cancer, issues that have to do with our sense of security, our home, parenting concerns or motherhood, as well as other personal issues that relate to the area of life that the Moon rules in our personal chart, will most likely concern us within the first days after the eclipse.

These same issues will culminate gradually as we approach the following Lunar Eclipse that will take place two weeks afterwards.

SOLAR ECLIPSE IN CANCER 2 JULY 2019

 

4. The North Node beacon

What is important, it is that the Sun and the Moon are near the North Node in this eclipse.

This means that the effect that the eclipse will have, regardless of how we may initially feel it, aims to move us forward. In the Sign of Cancer, “forward” may means among other things:

  • We become more aware and responsive to the needs of others in the area denoted by the house the eclipse falls.
  • After the initial shaking of the eclipse, we become more intuitive or emotionally intelligent.
  • Responsibilities that have to do with family or children may burden us more, but it is through this path that our fulfillment lies in the long run and we come to realize it.

 

5. A resonance to the past

I wrote some lines above that this Total Solar Eclipse in Cancer has a strong resonance to the past.

The very essence of Cancer, a Sign that is ruled by Moon, is a clinging to the familiar. In this Eclipse both our conscious (Sun) and our desire (Moon) are positioned in this Watery Sign, steeped with nostalgia and memory.

But as you may know, the past is a strange place…

SOLAR ECLIPSE IN CANCER 2 JULY 2019

In this particular eclipse the past, the memory of the past, or the nostalgia for it, may appear unexpectedly and overwhelmingly.

There are two important astrological facts that tie Time with Karma upon the axis of this eclipse.

The first one is the very tight applying conjunction of Saturn to the South Node of the Eclipse, a conjunction almost exact but for 0°06’ minutes!

It is as if Saturn tests us, trying to drag us back to the past, or to past habits, resisting our moving forward towards the North Node and our development.

Discipline, integrity and mastery over habits that have served their purpose needs to be applied.

Karmic cleansing must be applied. Release any fear rooted in the past, leave behind anxiety and pessimism rooted in the need for material security.

Stop testing yourself and your emotions trying to please authoritative persons, seeking career achievements, or trying to adjust to situations or relationships that have been proven rigid.

Care for those that care for you and start tuning to circumstances and relationships that provide not only material but emotional security also.

 

6. Re-prise

The second astrological factor is the fact that planet Mercury is going to turn retrograde on the 7th of July, just five days after the eclipse.

On the eclipse chart, Mercury is conjunct Mars that is situated at 0°31’ of Leo. From this degree Mars is activating once more the Total Lunar Eclipse of the 21st of January 2019.

Think of it for a moment… An eclipse in Cancer is activating a past eclipse that took place in Leo, some days before Mercury turns retrograde in Leo.

Not only this, but Mercury will be also passing retrograde over the previous eclipse’s degree.

It seems that Karmic are the ties that have to be dissolved for Leo, Scorpio, Taurus and Aquarius Signs born on the very first days or for those with personal planets or angles near the 0°-2° degrees of the Fixed Signs.

Persons or past lovers may re-appear, issues that those Signs felt with the previous eclipse are now being re-visited.

It is as if the universe is shouting,

“Re-visit, re-think and let go of the past. Re-cycle it in the dustbin and move on”.

“Release the Karmic burden”.

“Forgive and forget”.

This will not easily happen because both Mars and Mercury are close together and make a conjunction on the 9th of July, in between the two eclipses.

Right on this Mercury – Mars conjunction the planet Uranus is making a square that comes exact to planet Mars on July the 11th.

This is a power-charged square that electrifies the conjunction and may bring impulsive reactions, nervousness, restlessness and to make our tongue sharp.

It amplifies the tension, fuels anger, results in arguments and conflict.

SOLAR ECLIPSE IN CANCER 2 JULY 2019

Release, release, release…

This is the only constructive approach to the tension that builds up with this eclipse and to the demand for a Karmic cleansing.

A cleansing and moving forward that will most possibly happen only after the second eclipse that follows on the 16th of July, when the emotional climax will peak.

7. 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 born on the last days of the first decan and the first days of the second decan.

It is empowerment through increased pressure and responsibilities for Capricorn Signs, 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 positive for Taurus, Virgos, Pisces, Gemini and Sagittarius Signs.

Lunar Eclipse in Leo 21 January

This particular eclipse is especially important for those who belong to the Signs of the Fixed Cross (Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, and Taurus) and who are born between July 23 – 25, October 23 – 25, January 20 – 22 and April 20 – 22.  Also to those having personal planets or their Ascendant near the 00° – 02° degrees of these Signs.

The eclipse will also affect Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn Signs that are born near the last two days, as well as those having personal planets or their Ascendant near the 28° – 29° degrees of the Cardinal Cross.

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.

Request your Astrology or Eclipse Reading by Andrew Ifandis

 

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.

The partial Solar Eclipse on January the 5th or 6th, depending on your place in the globe, is the first of five in total, eclipses, three solar and two lunar, which will occur in 2019.

This eclipse is also part of the series of eclipses on the Cancer – Capricorn axis. These eclipses began with the Solar Eclipse in Cancer on July 13 2018, and shall continue throughout 2019, up until the summer of 2020, when they will be completed.

This cycle of eclipses in the Cancer – Capricorn axis coincides with the gradual approach of Saturn towards Pluto and their conjunction in Capricorn in January 2020, thus signaling a period of 18 months that will bring significant changes to Capricorn and Cancer Signs, and also to Aries and Libra Signs, since for them, the effect of the eclipses is stronger.

Remember though, that eclipses are strong Astrological events and affect us all, some less and some more, without exception, and depending on what aspects they make on our personal natal chart.

Request your Astrology Reading by Andrew Ifandis

The solar eclipse of January the 5th / 6th takes place at 15 ° 25′ of the zodiac Sign of Capricorn and is a “multidimensional” and complex eclipse with a variety of expressions, at cosmic and individual level.

Cosmic Level – A photo of the next six months

Focus: Saturn and Pluto

The Sun-Moon conjunction in the Capricorn Sign gives at a cosmic level a semester marked by significant changes in matters of how power is managed and administered world-wide.

The two Lights are in conjunction to Saturn and Pluto and also lie on the midpoint of the two planets. Saturn and Pluto is a combination capable of enhancing the ambitions, goals, and the control that exert, various governmental, corporate, or other hierarchical structures.

Saturn also forms a sextile aspect to with Neptune, an aspect that helps such designs and power visions to be realized, and be at the same time accompanied by a series of necessary reality checks, before they are put into effect.

Background: Jupiter and Neptune

At the same time, however, on the chart of this eclipse, and throughout the year, the square of Jupiter and Neptune is an aspect that undermines these plans, since it speaks of a social disappointment that will be diffused.

A disappointment that stems from the fact that people’s common sense of just (Jupiter in Sagittarius), and a yet unspecified but full of dynamism (square aspect) social vision (Neptune in Pisces), are not represented within the corridors of power.

Jupiter – Neptune in a square of extreme idealism and disillusion, which combined with the great influence that the planet Uranus plays in the general planetary setting, may bring massive mobilizations.

Depth of Field: Uranus and the Moon’s Nodes

The planet Uranus began to form a square to the Moon’s Nodes during the summer eclipses, an aspect that came to a precision in November 2018, and which continues in this and the next eclipse, as also in every New Moon and Full Moon up until mid-March 2019.

The continuous square of Uranus with the Moon’s Nodes brings the energy of the planet into the heart of the events for the period that follows.

Uranus was also the last planet to go retrograde in the dance of the many retrograde planets of the previous summer, and its liberating and disrupting energy will once more start to express when it returns to a direct motion.

When does this happen?

But on January 6 2019, from 28 ° 36 Aries

the same day with the eclipse!

All the sparkling electricity, and revolutionary or subversive action, that lay hidden, now finds an outlet, and the fact that this begins in the same day as the Partial Solar Eclipse, shows us emphatically that at the cosmic level we will see protests and upoars in the coming months.

 

Click Flash – Mercury, Mars and Uranus

Mercury from 1 ° 21 ‘of Capricorn is at the same time in two aspects, a harmonic and a dynamic one, which give even more evidence of how the tension will be expressed.

Mercury in trine to Uranus brings to the power holders strategic thinking and technocratic control, (preserving prestige through control of knowledge, of science and of innovation).

On a square aspect to Mars (who is powerful in the sign of his rulership) brings controversy and juxtaposition of ideas. Angry voices and action that conflicts with what the technocratic power communicates and concedes.

We see how a militant scenario is formed, as the same planet, Mercury, simultaneously stirs strategic changes for the status quo on one hand, and gives voice to protesting and defending the independence of the individual, on the other.

Two other equally important astrological elements that point to the eruptive nature of this eclipse are, the fact that the eclipse is on the Mars/Uranus midpoint and that Mars, already at 3 ° 20’ of Aries, will activate the eclipse soon, on January the 23rd.

That is shortly after the accompanying Lunar Eclipse that will take place on the 21st of the month.

Individual level

Imagine, now that we have analysed the eclipse elements, how all this multidimensional dynamics hidden in the eclipse chart could be expressed in our personal horoscope, giving the tone for the events of the next half-year.

Depending on how the chart of eclipse falls on our personal horoscope and the positive or negative aspects that it forms, possible manifestations may be:

Request your Astrology Reading by Andrew Ifandis

  • Circumstances force us to reformulate our strategy and set goals for issues that have to do with our business or professional plans.
  • We accept more responsibilities, but we also operate with a sense of integrity in the are where the eclipse relates to our personal horoscope.
  • It becomes important to check and calm down reactions and boiling disagreements with close persons.
  • The need comes to speak with vigour and seriousness so as to clarify situations that create cloudy landscapes.
  • We are recognized for our efforts in the professional field and we strengthen our position in the hierarchy.
  • We feel kind of oppressed and a weight in our relationship and this triggers a complete recapitulation of the how and the why with the other person.
  • Issues that have to do with our father or with persons of status and authority bring troubles and difficulties.
  • We become restrained in our working environment and searching for the “ideal job” needs our attention as we are not having realistic ambitions.

Part of the January Solar Eclipse hides pressure and eruptiveness, but at the same time hides the possibilities of empowerment, development and strengthening.

However it plays out, its effect will be possibly felt within a short time, since it will be activated soon, right after the Lunar Eclipse that is to follow.

LEO SOLAR ECLIPSE – 11 AUGUST 2018

LEO SOLAR ECLIPSE – 11 AUGUST 2018: Long Hot Summer – Part Three

Posted on by Andrew Ifandis
Sharing is caring:

LEO SOLAR ECLIPSE - 11 AUGUST 2018This summer is marked by three eclipses and many planets being retrograde during the eclipse season. The combination of these astrological factors is something that is relatively rare and it shapes an unpredictable, dynamic and hot landscape.

This eclipse is especially important for those who belong to the Signs of the Fixed Cross (Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, and Scorpio) and who are born between August 9 – 13, November 9 – 13, February 5 – 9 and May 7 – 11.  Also to those having personal planets or their Ascendant near the 16° – 20° degrees of these Signs.

PERSONAL ECLIPSE READING

 

Long Hot Summer – Part Three

The Solar Eclipse of August 11th is the final of the three eclipses of this long, hot summer’s eclipse season. It occurs in the Sign of Leo and succeeds the Solar Eclipse in Cancer and the Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius.

This eclipse functions as the aftermath of the highly dynamic period that preceded it. In a sense, it is a new beginning that follows after the realizations and the emotional peaks that we have experienced under the influence of the previous eclipses. Two powerful eclipses that have raised the volume both on personal and mundane level.

The first eclipse challenged our sense of security (Solar Eclipse in Cancer) and made us aware of power plays and pressures at home or in relationships.

The second eclipse, in its mundane expression, has resulted in unpredictable collective drama (Mars retrograde square Uranus and conjunct the South Node in Aquarius). With Mars, the planet of fire, dominant in this second and most difficult eclipse, we have unfortunately witnessed a July that was marked by wild forest fires, high temperatures that made new records and deadly heatwaves, across the globe.

The personal drama (Leo) has been brought into the collective (Aquarius) and the repercussions create political and collective re-action (Mars Retrograde in Aquarius) and re- thinking (Mercury Retrograde).

On a personal level, for many of us this second eclipse was realizations made and most possibly emotional outbursts that we were not able to control.

Now with this third eclipse, that is a New Moon, we will be pushed to make a re-start.

 

Potential to moving forward

LEO SOLAR ECLIPSE - 11 AUGUST 2018

The Solar Eclipse on the 11th of August takes place in Leo and is conjunct the North Node.

This is an aspect that has the potential of bringing intuitive awareness that will move us forward.

In the creative sign of Leo, this aspect with the North Node can work its best provided that we tune into our most noble and self-expressive qualities, detached from ego twists, and conceited mannerisms.

On the personal level we can work relationships with magnanimity and courtesy and bring about closure of past issues or crises which manifested under the influence of the previous Solar Eclipse.

On a mundane level, recent events make it all the more obvious that strong leadership qualities (Leo) and innovative coaching (Uranus ruling Aquarius) is needed in all forms of social and political interactions (Mars in Aquarius). Decisions and solutions are paramount. The times seem to be critical and the repercussions of this summer will be felt in the coming years.

However, both our personal adjustment as well as the integration of the eclipse’s energy into the social collective is a slow process.

LEO SOLAR ECLIPSE - 11 AUGUST 2018

Mercury squares Jupiter

The major aspect of the eclipse is the square of  the retrograde Mercury in Leo to planet Jupiter in Scorpio. This is an aspect that may express with exaggerations in communication, misjudgments and information overload.

On a personal level we have to be aware not to be obsessed or over passionate in debates and talks, to stay focused and to avoid misunderstandings.

On a mundane level it is a period that can lead to risky or misinformed decisions in senior ranks and to high volatility in stock exchanges.

 

LEO SOLAR ECLIPSE - 11 AUGUST 2018

 

The retrograde planets are dancing

Uranus has turned retrograde just four days prior to the eclipse and will continue to move backwards in apparent motion as seen from the Earth until January the 6th 2019 when it will reach 28° of Aries.

This is something very important because Uranus becomes the sixth consecutive planet that turns retrograde adding to the retro feeling of this summer.

The process of creating something out of this eclipses’ energy is slow.

Something new will come to be ONLY AFTER we have done our work with each and every one of the retrograde planets.

ONLY AFTER we have redefined where we stand.

With Uranus retrograde we have to look at things from a fresh perspective and re-define our personal truths. To embrace the new we have first to understand what holds us back whether this be a person, a job or ideas that no longer serve us.

Uranus retrograde process to shape our personal truth works very well with Neptune being retrograde also, because Neptune retrograde helps us to see with clarity and without idealizations. BUT in order to do so we have to first get rid of our personal delusions.

Saturn is also retrograde and we need to redefine our limits and to learn well the evolutionary or karmic lessons that it poses.

Pluto continues to be retrograde and the excavation of our soul is well underway. Pluto’s retrograde period is usually felt as a psychological process that seeks regeneration, purification and results in a healthy urge for survival.

Mars is retrograde and in a high energy state being out-of-bounds during all the eclipses, with his out-of-bounds movement peaking between 14th August and 19th of August, when Mars will reach an astounding declination of 26°29’ South of the ecliptic. Delays and frustration, anger management and redefining of actions is needed.

Mercury is retrograde since the previous eclipse in Aquarius and is also a key player in this eclipse since it is conjunct the two lights. How to form our personal truth and understand our best course of action when Mercury complicates things?

How will to reach to conclusions and make decisions or find solutions within this slow-moving bog of retrograde energy?

 

Uranus links this eclipse to the next one!

LEO SOLAR ECLIPSE - 11 AUGUST 2018

We astrologers see the big picture and understand the cycles.

Uranus has a major role in this summer eclipses, being in a square with Mars and making a 3 degree orb T-square with all the three eclipses Nodal Axis.

Uranus is the last planet in this dance of the retrogrades and its liberating energy will not be felt until it is direct again.

When it is that?

January the 6th 2019,

the very same day that the next eclipse occurs!

It is then, that this cycle of awakening will come to fruition with ideas, insights, liberating energy and manifestation of truth.

Additionally important to the fact that Uranus turns direct on the same day with the next eclipse, is the fact that the planet will once more tightly square the Nodal Axis of both of the winter eclipses .

It is as if these summer eclipses prepare us. They give us lessons and demand us to work with the retrograde planets so as we can be ready for the real changes (Uranus) that are about to come.

That is why this Solar Eclipse in Leo is pivotal.

Because it plays out as the last dress rehearsal with all of us the actors absorbing the script to its last detail prior to coming forth on the scene.

 

A trine aspect reaches its precision with this eclipse

Saturn in Capricorn, has been in an applying trine to Uranus in Taurus throughout the last weeks, and this aspect, with its liberating and grounding energy, comes to a precision of 0° 31’ in this last eclipse of the summer period.

This is the most helpful of all the aspects, since it allows us to manage the changes and the sudden events that resulted from the eclipses, in a responsible manner.

It gives a relative stability within the slow and demanding landscape.

 

A second trine aspect reaches its precision with this eclipse

Jupiter in Scorpio is trine to Neptune in Pisces, an aspect that gradually comes to a very close precision with this last eclipse, culminating on August the 19th.

This is a most benevolent aspect. A divide gift of hope and compassion. It is an aspect that can work as a “Deus ex Machina”, saving us at the last moment, granting hope, bringing gifts, spiritual awareness and increased Faith.

 

Sun drenched days are here again

This is the last eclipse of this long, hot summer and demands introspective work and re-evaluation to all areas pertaining to the retrograde planets.

Its energy is pivotal and has repercussions.

In the short-term, the Solar Eclipse in Leo of the 11th of August is slowly but firmly pushing us out of the bog and slowly builds on hope and a positive vision.

More importantly, it is a critical eclipse. It has a long-term effect and it prepares and grounds us for the shifting changes of the winter eclipses that hold a Uranian promise.

 

I wish you all ,to enjoy the last days of the summer drenched in Sun,

and the best to come,  from the marvelous Jupiter trine Neptune aspect.
