Thank you GemStar--great link.
Here also is Janet Kane's rave on the eclipse (she is a Jungian astrologer based in Washington DC) I agree with everything she says, though I would give wider orbs of influence, more like 10-20 degrees of the mutable signs.This month we have two Eclipses:
1. Sep 7 at 2:42 PM EDT there is a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 15 Pisces/Virgo. This is a small, partial eclipse. It can best be seen from Africa, Asia, Australia and Eastern Europe. Unfortunately, none of the eclipse is visible from North America. A Lunar Eclipse is a culmination or a settling down of what was awakened during the Solar Eclipse on March 29, 2006. This Eclipse is in Mutable signs which can lead to us being indecisive about which direction to take in many areas of our life.
Virgo rules the analytical mind and Pisces rules the intuitive mind. We have a choice to make on whether we go with our head or our intuition. The challenge is to learn to balance both of these aspects. Analyze and intuit what needs to be changed. This eclipse has Uranus conjuncting the moon at 13 degrees of Pisces. This can help free us from limited views and conformity. Uranus can be disruptive, but it can also help us to make major changes that need to be made.
At the same time we have a grand square with Saturn in Leo opposing Neptune in Aquarius and Squaring Jupiter in Scorpio also indicating that we must make some serious adjustments at this time.
Full moon Lunar Eclipses generally are more emotional than Solar Eclipses. They can bring up old memories and feelings. As a full Moon, a Lunar Eclipse tends to bring completion or endings. On a Lunar Eclipse something will end and on a Solar Eclipse something will begin. A Lunar Eclipse is an opportunity to break habits or eliminate socially conditioned patterns of thought and behavior that stand in way of self realization. .
Full moon eclipses can bring things to completion that you have been working on. You can finally make decisions about issues that you have been thinking about. The Sun opposite the Moon, lights up the Moon and brings previously unexamined areas of your life into awareness.
Any planet in your natal chart from 14 to 16 degrees of Pisces and or Virgo, Gemini or Sagittarius will be impacted by this eclipse. The houses in your chart where the Lunar Eclipse falls will be spotlighted at this time. These houses and planets describe the parts of your life that will look much different a year from now. (See below for a description of the houses)
2. Sep 22 at 7:45 AM there is a New Moon, Solar Eclipse at 29 Virgo. Partial phases of the eclipse are visible primarily from South America and Africa. This is an uncommon type known as an annular total-hybrid eclipse. This is a unique class of eclipse where some sections of the path are annular while other parts are total. The energy of this eclipse will be around work, health, diet, exercise, your routine and people you with with/or work for you. Look for these areas of your life to be highlighted.
Those of you with the ascendant or personal planets at 28 Virgo to 0 Libra will feel the affects of this Eclipse. If you have no planets at those degrees or signs, you will experience some awakening or change in the area ruled by the house that contains 29 Virgo Aries. If one of your personal planets is being "hit" by the Solar Eclipse, look back to see what happened 19 years ago. The eclipses repeat at the same degree of the zodiac every 19 years. Think back to what you were doing in Sep 1987. What was initiated at that time is ready to be completed or go to the next level.
The eclipse of the Sun has been traditionally viewed with dread over the ages, as the Sun seems to disappear from the sky. It gets dark in the middle of the day and it seems as if something dreadful is about to happen. Solar Eclipses tend to relate to sudden events that disrupt our day to day functioning; they are the crisis that seems to come out of nowhere and that suddenly demand all of our conscious attention and focus. They tend to stir things up on a physical and conscious level much more than Lunar Eclipses.
A Solar Eclipse always occurs during a New Moon, New Moons are important because they bring in new, fresh energy. This Solar Eclipse is in Virgo, so it is a good time to initiate a new project in the area of work or health.
Remember, New Moon/Solar Eclipses are always very powerful times to meditate. Send out your intention of what you want to manifest over the next six months.
Take notice of any news that comes in 4 days before the Eclipse. The news will foretell big changes coming into your life or our collective lives. The key events may occur within the first month, and our lives may get stirred up quite a bit, but we do have the next four or five months to understand and integrate the experience.
The following is a brief list of items covered by the different houses in your birth chart. Look for the house in your chart that contains 28 degrees of Virgo to 0 degrees of Libra for the Solar Eclipse effect and look for the house that contains 14 to 16 degrees of Taurus and/or Scorpio for the Lunar Eclipse effect.
