Lunariviera,
Good luck with the health issues. I hope it turns out to be nothing. Are you breathing and doing any relaxation work? Maybe the energy is getting stuck from tension. I know all about Virgo energy - such worry-worts! Sounds like you're on track by quitting smoking, although you may need something to replace that activity (many people knit, or work out or walk).
I hope this phase is coming to an end for you.

Last night was a difficult one for sleeping. I am ANTSY!!!! The energy of a Full Moon is usually welcomed by this Cancerian Moon gal..but with it triggering this mix of planets opposed and squared....well, I am not sure it is the best kind of energy for me. It changes moment to moment. Like Lunarivera, my worries are real and imagined...it feels the same either way-REAL! Hahaha.....don't you hate when that happens? Tr Saturn squaring my natal Neptune doesn't help much....this must be where I am feeling less grounded....added in with my Nep sq Nep transit....yeesh! I had really vivid dreams last night...though really great ones!! And then woke up to begin fretting about this that and the other. I didn't exercise like normal this week and that does add to the restlessness. Maybe I will do some yoga at home and find a center. It is people who I am mostly fretting about. Others who have 'real' stress in their lives and are not talking with me about it. It makes me feel left out and unable to contribute. That is my own ego deal though....but do you ever feel like that when a friend needs to retreat and you have no idea what is happening? It upsets me terribly and I begin to take it personally. Throw in all the ominous 'closures' associated with this Full Moon and I have stirred it all into one big pot of Worry Stew!! It is hard at times for me to be patient and allow others to sort through tough decisions in their own time. My sensitivity can sometimes make decisions crystal clear and other times...well, those are the times I am not listening to my intuition and question myself too much. (Like now). Lunar-so sorry to hear of your health issues...I am sure they will resolve soon and take each issue one at a time. It can be overwhelming to handle lots of thoughts and issues...anxiety can be overcome though. I wish you well and good job on the smoking cessation-a step in the right direction!! You will calm down....do more yoga or begin if you have never done it before....even with a DVD if the classes are too much moo-la there in LA. Listen to upbeat music more than quiet music so you don't slip into more worries!!! RELAX....go to the 3rd St Farmers Market and people watch. Just chill and enjoy the moment of right 'now'. I think I will do that myself!! OK...everyone, please sign in with your FULL MOON Eclipse stories of the day please. The wackier the better....I like to see astrology in motion and wonder about those of you who were affected last eclipse at VIR 24 last March? Has the seed begun sprouting lately?? Either way...I am off to make a morning tea and bring in the energetic vibes Samina has enjoyed recently!! My VIR-16 Pluto and Uranus square Mars is waiting to be lit up!! Hugs- GemStar

One more...I just couldn't resist! PLUS....I am too lazy to go back and re-read all the links and articles everyone has posted so graciously!! There have been some fabulous articles written for this particular Lunar Eclipse!! Here is just another article to add to the pretty pile...albeit more on the 'lighter' side!! Kim's posting of Janet Kane's pretty much covered it all as did the Medicine Garden link I posted. Anyway....here goes! ;D How about this for today's equation: "Lunar eclipse + Uranus = Doubly-electrifying emotional emancipation."www.astrobarry.com/2006/sep606.phpMake it a great one! Hugs- GemStar

OOoo...I have a really great article that ties in certain degrees with how we can work with the upcoming Solar eclipse! The article does go over the present lunar eclipse but I will wait to post it after today! This one requires a bit of heavier thinking and I am working to tame my scattered Gemini brain from dashing off in too many directions!! Weirdly, as this lunar eclipse falls opposed with my strongest and challenging squares in my natal, the solar eclipse falls opposed my more difficult second square in my chart (I only have a few) with an opposition to that PIA VIR 29 Saturn/Chiron conj in my 5th and square to my Gem 29 Sun!! How weird is that??? BOTH? ? Ugh...no wonder my energies are a bit nutty!! Manageable but feels like I am reaching out into air...nothing is there to hold onto and though I am not falling....I am stretching myself to reach into the future I am busy creating. Kinda exciting in most moments...but feels like pressure of sorts and one in which only I can sense. A good friend described my feelings in a very succinct way....she said she envisioned my current search for direction as me standing in-between two parallel fences. Both running on either side of me as I am jogging along and becoming more narrow as the road continues ahead. Meaning-my choices are being narrowed down for me or by me....and that the journey is all part of the process. Letting go and eliminating things which I feel are not the right path. The proverbial CHOICEs we are all given here....and having the fortune to choose is one which is supposed to be made with consciousness. I try my best....and usually it turns out well!! Even if I feel half-blind along the way!! OK....looking forward to reading about your day or events which have transpired over the past few days if anything at all!!! Hugs- GemStar

Gem! Here is one: Sitting on a luke warm terrace in the full moon, white Martini at hand, with my best friend... great energy. Fun. The eclipse was on my natal Mars at 16 deg Virgo, and the last few nights I had been dreaming really violent dreams about my last lover, about wanting to destroy him with a tractor. I'm sorry, got to come clean here. My tractor was bigger then his, but he was more agile with his, and I was still learning how to drive one, so I was too slow, and I felt humiliated. Macha.
Well, I'm writing a lot lately, and while writing in my diary I suddenly felt I had a choice: I can hang on to that anger forever, analyze it, focus on it, or I can focus on my own creativity, relaxation and happiness. I gave words to the intention to feel better about him, and something is different in my energy now. Third act of liberation this year: something similar happened to my emotions about my (deceased) dad and the father of my kids.
Of course, this eclipse events was triggered by meeting P, whose Karma is on 15 deg Pisces. Also, I've loads of new plans for my career, and while having to rest for my leg, I designed a new bedroom, living and hallway, in detailed 3D. My bedroom has built-in cupboards on the spacier side of the room, and I want to move them to the narrower other side. My bed is there now, and the door opens into it, which is a nuisance, very bad Feng Shui too! Starting soon!
XX Juliet

Excellent Juliet!!! The vision of the dueling tractors was interesting!! How brave!! Does bigger trump faster in that situation?? Glad you are resting your leg...continue to feel better! Hope things continue well with P!! Keep us updated with things as they develop! Also, happy for you that you are moving some things around in your bedroom to create better flow. While I am not a Feng Shui devotee, my specialty talent has to do with color and flow. Creating the best flow in an room is really important for your energies in general. I used to change my bedroom furniture every few months or so when I was a kid....ha,ha....the living room too!! Kind of an innate/instinctual thing with me. So I am all excited for your new ideas! My day yesterday was interesting. Because I had a double whammy of Mars sq Sun and Sun sq Mars....I was in a very direct state. Tr Mars was also opposing n Saturn so even though I was not angry overall, it didn't take much to send me off and cutting to the chase. No fluff with me yesterday!! My one guy friend who has most upset me tried to reach me yesterday I think. He has taken to calling and not leaving a message when I do not answer. He tried at least 5 times...ugh. My phone system has changed and though the caller ID works, there is a weird 'incoming call' message with no ID that shows up. I think it was him calling rfrom an unidentified line. I have had automated calls over the past few days leave messages for line searches I requested from utility companies before I dig and put in the landscaping project. They all leave messages.....friendly sort of machines!! My friend did not leave any messages..5 times in an hour....drives me batty! Not much else exciting happened....OH....welll, my energy is returning with a vengeance!! I channeled my Martian vibes into productive work so that is a great outcome! I personally like Mars but mixed with Saturn for me can be a pain if I am not careful! Otherwise...pretty boring stories. Nothing thrilling to report....anyone else? I think the major effects of a Full Moon eclipse total at least 14 days....10 days before and 3 days or so after. Do you all concur with this?? Thanks! Hugs- GemStar

Luna -- am sending you a big hug of positive healing energy, and wishing you all the best in the resolution of your health & anxiety unrest! I know you're not short on advice, but if there's one thing helpful I might recommend it would be to take long winded walks. For me, two miles out & two miles back has ALWAYS been an excellent help in destressing and moving stuck energy, both physically & emotionally. Long strides when you can, easy-going when you need to. Such a simple thing, but it really does help when things get intense, Luna. Gem, your Cancer Moon is definitely affected by all this Uranian energy! Are you a fan of red wine? The weekend might just call for a few glasses to take that Uranian edge off. LOL Wish I were there to share a couple glasses with you! My parents & brother all live in Tampa. How far from there do you live? Nothing wacky to report, although that moon was wildly beautiful last night as I was driving to my new Thursday nite salsa venue. The evening turned out to be very exciting right along the vibe of the full moon, tho -- the instructor's theme for the nite involved double turns for the ladies, and as all his moves, one right after the one, involve turns, I spent the whole night spinning like a jacked up planet circling the galaxy! After an hour, I was totally disoriented. All my spin had gone out of me! But before that, I really got to feel myself getting faster & tighter, and it felt so good! Exhilarating! But I think the vibe of this eclipse is gonna be with me for some time. It feels very atmospheric in its influence for me, rather than just a one-off event. I think it's going to be with me as I bring about the conclusion of my health book, and also in the continuing evolution of my body & how its ability to conduct energy & "work" for me, particularly as a dancer. Keep the stories coming in, all! And happy weekend! Sami

I'm new, I thought I'd just throw something in here. I've found in my Mother's chart that the eclipse occurred in her natal 12th house - opposing her Uranus/Pluto conjunction in the 6th, and squaring her natal sun.
She suddenly came home today and told me she got into a car accident with my grandmother. I believe this is her 5th car accident. None which were of her fault because she doesn't drive.

Juliet: That tractor dream is wild. Great idea to let that anger go - it's better to free up that space for better energy - healing for your leg, new love to grow in your life.
Luna: Seconding the hugs and the advice to work off the energy in walks - always works for me.
Gemstar: Sounds like good energizing Mars energy (is that redundant?). Maybe overloading your telephone circuits?! Hope you guys connect soon.
Samina: Sounds like the eclipse brought in some good energy for you, too - moving things forward for you.
I had a weird dream last Thursday morning about horseshoe crabs attacking a turtle. Weird! It was in the middle of my most anxious, tense time then and I think I was feeling defensive (turtle) and beset by anxieties (um, but horseshoe crabs??!).
Last night for my Venus Return I bought flowers for myself on the way home, made a nice dinner, showered and did my hair and beautifying stuff (alas not enough time for a pedicure). And did a little meditation at the exact time (9:23pm). I felt a little sad this morning not having heard from new guy since Monday, but I let it go. Then just after lunch today my cell phone rang at work - new guy! We had a nice catch-up and talked about getting together when he's back in the area and he even mentioned some future things for us to do - sounds like a relationship to me! I have no illusions this'll be easy, but I'm very happy.

Oh and starscream - Welcome to the forum! Weird thing with your mother and that accident! I'm a little confused, though - who was driving if not your mother?

Sounds like two tractors having a go at each other! Good your guy called!
Starscream, welcome! Creepy, these accidents! When did they start?
Gem, is your phone back to normal? Or the phoning habits of your friend?
Sami, your description makes me feel like dancing allright. Move and shake.
Repetitive movements do strange things to my brain. I love dancing and it makes me thoroughly happy, but any other form of movement makes my adrenaline levels go up, biking, brisk walking, swimming and so on. A friend of mine is dance therapist and told me it is a known psychomotoric thing in some people. My daughter believes I'm a ADD, so maybe that is why...
Got to go, to the beach today! Love to all of you, and hang on, Luna!! Juliet

It looks as though this is a productive eclipse in many ways. Juliet, usually the mans tool is bigger than the womans. LOL Did you know pen means tail and pencil means little tail? I had a dream once that a man wanted my pencil in an abandoned police station parking lot. You know what he really wanted. And a lot of men could benifit from learning to work their big tractor in harmony with the smaller one. It takes a little self control and creativity to work together.
I drive my husband to work each day just before sunrise so I always get to view Venus first thing in the morning. But the day of the eclipse the huge red full Moon was the focal point. Beautiful. Then yesterday it was yellow. As I drove toward it I pondered the meaning of yellow, for one, as being scared. Appropriate for the soft body of the Crab. She needs protection. I thought about her and Saturn working together with the flight response. Sudenly in the middle of my pondering I was overwhelmed with memories of painful things done to me over the last several years. Fear was the emotion it triggered, then tears flowed. It happens again now as I remember enough to write this. I understand very well why I had to be born with Leo rising backed up by Pluto. Otherwise I would disappear from their life, in flight mode so they can't hurt me anymore. Sometimes flight is better.
As I looked at her, for the first time, the shadows showed me an image of the profile of a crab, so clearly. I don't know how I never saw it before. The body hugging the right side as you face it (this would be the left side of her body) and the claw extending downward, almost touching center. Looking at her as a body without legs, this would be her Saturn, Moon Centers or chakras. Know I know how the ancients gave rulership of Cancer to the Moon. It could be now other. As I pulled my focus out I saw the shadows form the yin within the circle of the Moon, and the light side formed the yang on the right. Now I know how the ancient Chinese were enlightened and gifted with the principles of yin/yang. It's one thing to read or be told something. But It really can be owned when you can discover its truth for yourself.
I would have thought the Solar eclipse would bring me tears, being at 29 degrees, rather than this one which is at the midpoint. But it is in mutable signs, adapting, reshaping, changes, adjustments, gathering thoughts and information.
This eclipse squared my husband's 1/10. Many were layed of yesterday, but not him even though he's only been there 4 months. That says a lot for a salesman doing heavy concrete work. The last time this eclipse happened he was getting firmly planted into Kirby vacumn sales. They took advantage of their employees with pay too. That was no pay without a sale, this is only $8.00 an hour. It seems like it takes half of that just to get him back and forth to work and get his laundry clean. I have to cut the concrete off sometimes, before I can wash his pants. Yep, that's Virgo.
