Hi Amoroso,
I'm still looking for info on the eclipse on the MC/IC, but get the general idea that it has a lot to do with emotional security and how that effects others' perception of self (public persona)... also, due to it squaring the first and seventh, a chance to let go of outmoded ideas of self and how this effects relating to others on an intimate level.
Oh, for anyone interested here is an interpretation of eclipse on Natal sun that I thought was interesting;
"signals a time to stand up and be counted; characterized by the fear and confunstion that come with claiming our throne, and a time of inevitable clashes with authority figures in our lives who are invested in our staying in the role of child... ..when we surrender our ties to 'father' - whether through literal separation or a psychological turning point whereby we break ranks with what he stands for - we lose our King, the absolute ruling monarch of our mythical childhood kingdom. Never again can he hurt, demean or control us - but never again can he protect us, play with us, or hoist us up, laughing, on his shoulders in the afternoon sun. We become, for better or worse, the ruler of our own kingdom."
I'm sure I'll be back later with more! pm

Jamma-Sending hugs to you and reminding you to be OK with feeling the emotions which are enveloping you these days....Eclipses pack the punch of 10 Full Moons!! Those folks who have strong Moon placements may well feel quite 'moved' in MANY directions at this time!
Certainly I do...people seem to be more agitated, less friendly these few days. Maybe more like being 'into' themselves perhaps....almost like it is too much effort to go beyond themselves it seems....just a wierd vibe I have been noticing with others....
Much peace to your ailing neighbor...may she find relief soon...
Amoroso-Thank you for the light! My three brothers are being flown in by my father and though it is sad, the Irish part of us understands the freedom the soul has when released from the earthly bonds!
RE-your letter to C, I hope your writing expressed all that you wanted C to know. While it will be certain that it affects him in a BIG way, mostly, I hope it was good for you!
Prima-I really like that blurb on this lunar eclipse conjuncting the natal Sun! VERY INTERESTING! Thanks! Now I will check out your newest link to read the article!
Have a lovely day everyone!
Hugs-
GemStar

Well-said, prima -- sending you big hugs, jamma! Gem, it sounds like you've really found your peace with your grandmom's passing. You are very inspiring. This eclipse time is so potent, I think, because of so much planetary action going on around it. I feel like I'm in a wonderful avalanche of change -- there are so many high-energy transits taking place! The lunar eclipse's contact with Pluto involves Pluto's current exact opposition to my natal Venus, with tr. Juno sandwiched between my natal Merc & Venus. LOTS of information and valuable communication coming in regarding relationship, and two very sexy new relationships have emerged (Gemini, Gemini...). So much relationship activity, and artistic activity. And there's an undercurrent of something coming in regarding money, but that hasn't surfaced yet... I love that it's coming on the heels of a Mars/Uranus square -- I have that natally, and it really gets things moving in a way that feels good to me! And the eclipse squaring Pluto... I love that intensity, that highly charged energy. On the eclipse, all the following transits are *exact* to my natal Chiron: Jupiter trine, Mercury conjunct Chiron, and Neptune semi-sextile. Plus, transiting Venus & Chiron are conjunct... so there's a whole lotta healin' going on! Despite Chiron's reputation for exposing open wounds, I'm feeling *liberated* from past hurts & patterns right now, like being smothered in soothing salve that makes former pain disappear. samina

Hey Samina... When I read your thought about the Uranus square Mars transit of late...and like you, have Mars squaring Uranus (and Pluto!) natally...I had forgotten what a positive and motivating aspect this feels like! When I saw that I had tr Uranus coming up for a lovely square to my natal Mars...I was a bit worried!! THEN. I remembered that having this natally was already integrated into my being!! I remembered that this should feel pretty GOOD!! It might sound odd to others, however, I believe you will understand too! Instead of feeling really upset during the latest two planets transiting in square to each other, I found great energy that boosted me for the first time in some while!! Uranus in aspect to Mars DOES feel good to me so: Thank you for reminding me! Additionally, my natal chiron is located at 26 PIS so is in opposition of the eclipse. Because it is located in my 5th house, and being currently squared by tr Pluto....I liked your idea of feeling *liberated* from past hurts and patterns! That makes complete sense to me.....Chiron itself wants to be healing....and healing the pain of patterns from long ago is part of my focus over the past few months....I am attempting to emotionally detach from pain which I can not change and drop any patterns which ultimately self-defeat me! Perhaps the eclipse is helping me close the door and release some of those familial patterns!! Hugs- GemStar

Gem... YES! Perfectly describes my own thoughts. Uranus/Mars has brought just an avalanche of energy and movement and exciting new things, including a new relationship that started *absolutely instantaneously* upon meeting, like a foregone conclusion... so compelling, with lots of uranus/pluto/venus/chiron energy in the mix.
The only trouble I'm feeling is that the Virgo in the mix has me wanting and very much *needing* to put things in order, but Virgo is in my 12th and activating Pisces energy, and I'm just so circuitous & drifty. Feels like I'm getting nowhere fast as far as getting through my lengthy list of tasks.
You Pluto square 5th-house Chiron... are you feeling revitalized, re-energized yet? That's very restorative energy, I would think, like liquid sunshine pouring through the dark bits of one's being & body. What house is your Pluto transiting from?

Hey Samina....Pluto is transiting from Sag in my 2nd house....my creative approach to earning money is being pressured!! Although an additional Nep sq Nep transit (1st house natal to MC transiting Nep) has often been foggy, I am enjoying the Uranus-Mars thrust!
Today I was a bit blind-sided by my natal chiron and saturn conj in PIS. The lunar eclipse opposed it and it is my most painful place in my chart. The old chauvanistic issues from my father came into focus today as he was very rude with his expectations of my role with my step-grandmother's service/after gathering....being the only girl is frustrating in a family of all boys....I am forever treated as second-class and good for doing dishes or cooking...that's about all I am useful for in his eyes. So....regardless of the many other adult bodies around, he seeks to control me and uses his own inadequacies to try and exert control. This eclipse opened this wound....something I didn't expect!
I wish to believe I am less affected by his hurtful treatment but today showed me that my emotions are still able to be hurt...darn it!! While I realize his less than ideal ways of behaving will not change, I know it is ME who has to change my thoughts. Tr Pluto squaring this area pulls up any old garbage and forces me to reconcile my feelings in some way I believe!! Because he controls my brothers with money (not me--women are not worth the investment in my father's eyes), I often feel no back-up from family. My Scorp Mom just smirks and makes jaded comments about his being. Neither of my divorced parents are compassionate people....so one of my lessons is learning to heal the pain from harshness displayed by each of them.
So...today's eclipse brought more tears than I imagined!! Thank goodness for my patient friends who listen and support me so much!! My tr Mars sq Uranus is hard to rein in at this time....I have worked hard to hold it back with it's natal influence and usually succeed! But I tell you, as you well know, it is A LOT of energy to hold in!! I usually exercise or do yoga but when I get too emotional like today, I have to chill out at home. I prefer to be around people most days, but just did not have the desire to hold it all in today.....
I am hoping to revitalize more energy with this transit in my 5th house....perhaps the eclipse released further wounds as it opposed my natal chiron....maybe that extra 'not so good' energy needed to make room for more positive energies to flow!! That sounds pretty good right about now!!
Thanks for the article suz!
Hugs- GemStar

Hi everyone, Suz thanks for that article - really helpful (once I managed to get to it - darn Merc retrograde combined with my Capricorn brother's security measures in this computer!). I've just realised that these are the same eclipse series' as my prenatal eclipses. The solar eclipse in two weeks looks good - still involving my natal 10th, but on Venus/Chiron/NN. Gemstar - seems like some evolution going on with you today. If it has to hurt so much its good to know you're not alone... hang in there... eclipse cycles are really spirals, intended to move on, not repeat. I went for a long walk, sat in a cave, climbed a hill and meditated during the eclipse (it was at 10.05 am this morning here). Strengthening my root chakra and staying 'connected' while allowing life to unfold as it will is my intent for this cycle. The sun might be on my MC, but earth's shadow is in the fourth..need my roots to go deep, tapping into inner resources - as Ben Lee puts it 'you can't climb until you're ready to fall'. Family stuff, Mother stuff. Nearly cried today too, had a message conversation with my younger (pisces sun/mercury) sister about some things not touched on in years. Amazing how I had thought about the very things she was in therapy talking about this morning during the eclipse (she is in Darwin, I'm in Adelaide). A reminder to rewrite my history or learn to laugh about it. Its all good though! How is everyone feeling? light, pm

Hi everyone, Its been a strange lunar eclipse for me this one" I have Moon in Virgo 25deg. in 12 House! Ive been really sick these past 2 weeks & cant seem to get any back. Lots of life changes I guess & ready for the next phase to kick in! Chiron return & all that stuff! Exhausted this am & lay on my bed & started meditation to pray for guidance & insight about what this eclipse in this placement really meant for me. At the exact moment of the eclipse 1035, phone ringing!!! dam I thought forgot to take it off the hook!! answered it to find it was a woman returning my query re her life coaching course which Id been praying for guidance & wondering if it was a good choice in my life right now. I took it as a sign!!! Meant to do it.!! The eclipse articles were deep & meaningful!! I love the depth of Stephanie Austin!! Thanks Suz! I always feel connected after reading the posts. As if Im not alone & others are experiencing their own challenges & healing like your process Gemstar & your sweet response pm. I know it was lunar energy but Im still wondering about the mother stuff etc. perhaps the 12 house keeps it deeply hidden. Love to everyone IsabellaX

Hey thanks Primamateria! Yes, yesterday brought up things from many years gone by....things I thought I had released....this morning I am still a bit shaken but definitely feel less 'electrified'-if that makes any sense!! Learning to laugh off the old hurts is a wonderful place to be-I try to do so and often times succeed!! The silliness of people at times and the level of their awareness can be comical when looking at a situation without emotional ties!! Since I am quite emotional and sensitive in general....(Scorp ASC, Can Moon, Jup and Merc)....my emotions are strongly affected during Moon phases which are strong! Usually lots of energy!! The idea of an eclipse being a 'spiral' and intended to move on is a great one to focus on! I plan to use this eclipse experience to let go of this area of past hurt and instead, find the laughter!! Laughter is always a great thing and you just GOTTA LAUGH at those issues which may be always present, people who are who they are...and step back and smile. A smile which knows the power of it's bearer's inner soul!! Hugs- GemStar

I just have to make a statement!
I just so wish my health would not be so "up and down".. and today's (or was it yesterday's) energy has just rushed through my body, and did my nothing but momentary damage, but a remarkable extraction of alot of my feelings into the written word.
In spite of being suddenly sick, then suddenly super well, and then suddenly massively sick, I managed to write a few essays today. I guess its a part of what needs to come out.
The North Node is conjunct my Pandora/Chiron conbination. The transiting Sun is on my Medusa (square my Mercury) Opposite my natal Uranus.. Transiting Uranus opposite my natal Moon, and transiting Moon conjunct my natal Uranus. I am expecting some multiple sign energy here anyway..
Take care everyone,
svenskasfinx

Wow, this thread has become very lunar, deeply personal and moving...I so love the expressions of feeling and the nurturing. I also send mine warmth and blessings out to all of you.
This eclipse was in my 1st/7th, square Mercury and trine Uranus. I got two flat tires in a 12 hour period and my computer went comatose...abort, retry, fail. The 'standing wave' that is called University...in which I am alway madly paddling to stay ahead of --started to come crashing down.
Boy did I have time (no uni, no computer, no transport) to contemplate the essential meaning and direction of my life.
The only way to stop me, I suppose!
Then, it was 'friends to the rescue'! and the 1st - 7th dynamic showed me a new face!
With all of our experiences associated with the eclipse, we need to trust the process. What seems like hindrance and frustration is there for a reason.
Realize this degree 24 Virgo/Pisces is now sensitized. Keep an eye on transits to that point in your charts!
Warmly, Kim

Well yesterday was certainly a strange day. I had someone contact me yesterday out of the blue that related to an event that I felt had been "dead & buried" for over 4 years. It was very strange to get this call and have all those old wounds dredged up. However, it was cathartic because it was a good chance to get rid of that old baggage once & for all, send it on it's way and let it go. Had a counseling session today with the divorce counselor and had such a GOOD session (thanks, Merc. retrograde). Eros making its transit in my 4th house Pisces has certainly added a LOT of intensity in my current relation
