Hi Nige, I'm sorry to hear that you are not feeling so great...can I suggest that your saturnian feelings, combined with giving up drinking, may call for a Jovian herb, or Jovian food to re-balance things?? Jupiter is said to energise and boost the spirits, and it has been found that 'jovian herbs' act on the liver - which in turn is related to depression when compromised (by Saturn transits for example). So I would start with dandelion tea and eat lots of yellow fruit and vegies, white meats such as cornfed free range chicken and fish. I would also be using mercurial cures too - such as fennel. there are some great articles on all this at www.skyscript.co.uk/dandelion.htmlalso, I've posted an article that might be useful to you under 'uranian opposition' in the general astro section of this forum. I hope you feel better with the eclipse - and congratulations on giving up drinking!! joy! pm Thanks primamateria, I will check that out and may try some  |

Hi everyone, happy? solar eclipse to you all!!
samina,
re your reply on March 21; you mentioned the last eclipse in Oct 05 in your 1 H conj. asc. that was the same for me & I had big experiences unlike yours with appearances but instead around my relationship (s)with my ex (sun,moon mars Aries)husband. Now this solar will be in my 7th.house where I have Vertex 6d Aries!!! & as my ex is back finishing building the house so we can sell, mostly I find it hard going with him around & I always have difficulty being in my strength when hes around!! & like you primamateria, I think of him as 'thingyhead' ex, as most of our 18 yr relationship he told me I wasnt up to anything!!! or didnt use any of my potential blablabla!!! now with this solar eclipse coming tomorrow (yippee!!) Im praying for a big jump & some huge change happening to do with letting go of him ( & especially my weird nonsensical dependence on him!) etc. & starting to fly (again?) I just started a diploma in Life coaching, on Monday!! which I feel might me the tool box that I will be able to do with this with.(if only I can believe in MYSELF (me, myself I)yes I like that.! I too want to break through the money,fear stuff, which seems to go hand in hand with such unhealthy dependence ( for me anyway!!) Heres to transformation for us all!!!
I love reading the expereiences & astrology,of all the peoples posts, even though I dont understand the complex stuff, it still feeds my little capricorn soul XXXX
Isabella

Hello everyone ... Thanks SO MUCH for all of your input on B's chart ... Please feel free to offer more observations ... Prima -- You are right about the Mother issues -- she mentioned that to me awhile back ... Nige -- Hope you are feeling better ... being inundated by Pisces transits can be difficult for fiery types (even watery types!) ... I think the secret is just "going with the flow" ... I remember your saying that in the summer you like to swim -- that's a perfect way to embrace water energy ... however, I imagine right now it's a bit chilly in Wales for a "daily dip"! ... hmmm, maybe a winter vacation to Australia next year?? ... Jade -- I STILL can't get my head around the solar arcs ... I am afraid I need to sign up for a BIG tutorial on them ... Here's the Solar Return chart (minus some of the asteroids), so I hope that helps ... it DOES seem a lot more manageable now -- LOL! ...  ... J  |

Isabella, on the Synastry Board, there is a massive thread on the Vertex that Tom just bumped to the top. You might enjoy reading through those posts with the eclipse so close to your natal VTx! Great news about the new course! Right on track!  Kim |

Hi guys... how is everyone holding up with the eclipse?? I came across a forecast earlier that asks us to examine what we were doing at the end of March/begining of April 1987 for clues to what this Aries eclipse may bring - 'do it right this time' is what the aim is supposed to be... hmmm. pretty much to the day - yes it was a month before my eighteenth birthday, I was expelled from my ballet school.... who gets expelled from ballet school?  lol. Anyway, it was totally devastating but at the same time I knew it was coming, because I'd never been 'one of the favourites' and had gone my own way and applied to overseas schools to finish up my training. among other things, like my general attitude, 'disillusionment' and 'disappointment' in my teachers. ooh. what a rebel. :0 so what would I do 'right' this time?? Well, thinking about it, I've learned this lesson well - and can apply it today. (this is like an 'affirmation' and very Aries) - I do not allow unconscious resistance to structures to be a destructive force in my life. I never passively wait for my world to come crashing down around me - I do what is needed to meet my responsiblities. I believe that I have a place in the world and that belief is reflected back to me via the welcome I receive wherever I go. yesterday was amazing - I scrubbed the whole house and cleared space for all the new energy to come in... then the thingy-dead ex rang to tell me that 'as of last week' he is no longer working and 'no longer has to pay child support money'. What!?! The strangest thing about this is that I can see that this is perfect - now there is nothing he offers, there is nothing he can hold over me or 'withdraw' in order to punish me for having the audacity of striking out on my own (and saving my life in the process). And, I will certainly manage, as always. At the end of the day I felt satisfied that things are OK, come what may. It felt more like a 'fourth house' day, but ultimately I could see that this new 'inner security' is giving me the strength to go forward in the world. I had the most utterly amazing dream last night too! I would love to read other's eclipse experiences... everyone is so quiet so I suspect there's a lot going on... joy, light, pm |

Hi guys... how is everyone holding up with the eclipse?? I would love to read other's eclipse experiences... everyone is so quiet so I suspect there's a lot going on... joy, light, pm Hi I had the worst few days for a long time during the Pisces moon, I normally feel low during this but with the added mercury and Uranus opposite my Uranus I felt bad. Really exhausted as if I had done a 2hr 30min cycle race or something. But on top of that, my twin brother (who has alcohol and drug problems), decides to go on a drinking binge and stop taking his methadone. He just seemed to turn psychotic and was very drunk all day long (he will binge now until he makes himself sick and can't drink anymore). He was/is off his head and arguing with me, so I became so stressed out that I kept telling myself how much I hate him and that I don't want anything to do with him. I was wishing he was out of my life because he can not ever get himself better. So I then needed a drink and had 6 and a half cans of bitter. Yesterday I thought I would feel better and expected to feel really good. But no, I still felt bad and was no way near my normal self. The eclipse was 11:16am, at 5pm I went to visit a diy store and during looking at things there (sheds, etc) I started to feel a bit better. My football team Swansea were an TV in a Cup final at 6:30 so I bought 8 cans and went over my parents house to watch the game. We played excellently and won 2-1 - I felt really good by then and now today I am much better. My energy levels are quite good today, the tiredness has gone and I am in the mood to start putting my plans into action. For the past maybe 10 days I have been thinking a lot about building my own big shed in my garden. Both my Grandfathers were very good at woodwork and building things (like sheds and furniture). One of my grandfathers had a table saw but after he died my grandmother gave it away. I am now going to buy a new one of these, also a cement mixer, a good ladder, hedge trimmers, a chain saw and some other garden tools. The plan is to sort my garden out because it is in a right mess. It is a very big garden and needs a lot of work, but I have some good ideas so hope that I can get into it and enjoy doing it That's all for now, will write more soon Nige... |

hey nige -- you could be right about feeling the effects of giving up drinking... you're body might be in healing mode! great time for that, with all this pisces energy swirling about! what a boon for you that you live by the sea... you can walk the beach, draw in all that amazing sea air, absorb healing minerals via a little winter swim... yum. speaking of same birthdays, you have the b.d. of a favorite old b.f. of mine. very fond memories. was just thinking of him recently because i know the eclipse has occurred exactly smack opposite his natal venus... was wondering he's experienced that. does anybody else here feel like they've had an energetic "reboot" from this eclipse? i feel like the lights went out and then were turned back on, giving everything a fresh clarity, as if being seen with fresh eyes. the eclipse occurred in my 7th on my descendant -- i've already met several new people, and connected intimately with a close friend who pointed me in the direction of a professional relationship with someone she knows. i wonder what else the next few weeks will hold as this energy finds expression! sami |

prima -- "expelled from ballet school" lol i'm doing the house-scrub thing today, along with some decluttering... you are an inspiration! what house is the eclipse happening for you? that's quite an event, the call you had from your ex. he sounds like *my* ex... maybe they are long-lost twins! three cheers for experiencing more "inner security", prima... when the outer world tries to yank that away, it sure is very powerful when you can claim it as your right and hang onto it! it will be interesting to see how that inner sense of support comes back to you, mirrored in new forms! hugs, sami |

Here is the description: Valid during several weeks: You may need to put the brakes on in your mind today, for you tend to think and speak hastily. Others may seem too slow for you today, and in your haste you may overlook something significant. At its worst this influence will make you feel scattered, undisciplined and nervous. But on the positive side, it acts like a stimulant upon the brain. You are interested in new kinds of experiences and very impatient with the usual routine. Do something different or meet new people who will challenge your thinking. Even your long-time associates can show you aspects of themselves that you never knew existed. In conversation with others, you are inclined to be blunt. Just be careful not to overdo it, and avoid saying things simply to shock people. Be prepared to back up your words later. |

Hi guys... nige, hang in there mate! You're doing fine, and your honesty with yourself and the forum is truly brave and inspiring. Building something is a great 'root chakra' activity which is good for helping to build inner strength - so go for it! Sami! yes, being expelled from ballet school is a bit of strange thing to happen... but what a controlling environment it was - I'm sure that most of what went on then is now considered both unethical and illegal. (like daily 'weigh-ins')... the eclipse happened in my tenth house, on Venus and Chiron there at 10 and 4 degrees aries respectively. I'm not quite sure if the ex-husband's news is really a tenth house matter...not really seeing the connection as yet... one way of looking at it is that I will have to speed up my vocational plans and start bringing in money. I'm wary of that though...I don't want to be motivated by the need of money in this (I took a job during my Saturn return for this reason, and it led to a series of events that turned my whole life upside down, sending me into 'hiding' for, well, until now). peace everyone, pm |

Thanks pm Although I have started drinking again  But only until my twin sorts himself out (he needs help I think). He has been a few times in the mental hospital and has been told that he can not drink again and that it is ruining his health. He always starts with one little drink and then it always turns into a full 2 or 3 weeks non stop day and night drinking of really strong alcohol drinks until he makes himself ill. He becomes very mentally unstable at these times and seems to be getting worse. It's like watching someone age before their time. and he almost turns senile when he is so off his head. This is the reason that I became interested in astrology. Because why are we sooooo different. There is only 25 minutes between us but the difference in us and our personalities is huge. When I found out that my ASC had just gone into Virgo I could see that this was correct and was the answer. At the end of the day though, we all have our crosses to bear - there are some people who pretend that their lives are perfect but they are just illusionists. Try to think of someone you know well who hasn't got any problems? We all have really... |

Dear Nigel.... Hello! It sounds like you are deeply hurting because you see your twin making such debilitating choices. I am sorry for your pain. Just a quick thought....Why would you start drinking again? By example, this does not help your twin at all. And keep in mind, there is a possibility that the same weak gene which causes your twin grief, is there in Your DNA. Why tempt the genes and risk increasing alcohol issues for yourself? There is also the possible reality that your twin may never sort himself out. Tying Your drinking together with him dealing/not dealing with his issues is not the best idea...Can you see why this may be not be helpful to him (or yourself)? Why not focus on You being the strong example for him...the subliminal tie-in with twins is usually present and by choosing to drink yourself, it 'seemingly' supports his alcoholism. It gives him the signal that his choices are OK. Does that make sense to you? In the end, while everyone has different levels of challenges in this lifetime, mostly, it is HOW we deal with those challenges that matters.....some people overcome them and many do not. It is the Individual who must rise to the challenge.....and not find excuses to escape the work that must be done. This is true for each one of us!! Again...it is HOW we handle our obstacles in life which makes or breaks a problematic cycle. Think about your decisions Nige....and maybe you will decide to be the 'twin' who guides your brother onto an improved path. Either way, you have an influence on him, concious or not, and it is up to you to choose and find your own power. Good Luck and Much Peace be with you.... Hugs- GemStar |

i've been holding off saying anything about eclipse happenings for me, but here we go:
in my 6th, 4 degrees off the descendant. opposing venus-pluto/12th & ascendant (2 degrees of orb with venus, 5 with pluto).
the lunar eclipse, sun in 6th/moon in 12th, had new body awareness opportunities. not sure how else to label it. i began getting immediate feedback on everything i put into my body - is this good fuel? is this what my body wants? and these questions relate ultimately to the question, "given what you know are your goals, does this substance take you closer to it?"
as i listened to my body and watched myself make choices, both those it liked and disliked, i remembered that my basic intellectual position about the body is that it's an instrument for energy...though i haven't taken responsibility for caring for mine so that i can really use it as i see i want to (i'm headed for learning some manner(s) of energy healing work, but have been unsure about relating to my body - never really wanted to have one in the first place).
so as far as food goes, i started eating more raw food, and less of the things that clearly don't serve what i want. and i've been juicing vegetables at home daily.
not food-wise, i started taking a tantric breathing class, and a friend gave me a rosen treatment last sunday. both of these hit the spot! i'm continuing both.
i think with the opposition to venus on the ascendant and conjunct pluto, there're lessons about wants/needs & attachment. i suppose everything that's happening with me these days is about that, though - releasing my desires for certain eating habits or kinds of foods etc. also last night i had my family constellation done, and in general that seems to be about my concept of relating, more venus of course.
what's cemented in me is stereotypical 6th-house stuff: daily routine, a need for humility (subverting immediate desires for long-term goals - releasing some attachment to ego is humbling, or is humility), being discrimating about my fuel and taking responsibility for my body. i don't remember being affected similarly, to a similar degree, by other eclipses...even one on my natal 1st-house uranus (squaring the nodes) that had me flooded with past-life memories and making a ton of mental connections about what i'm doing here. that was significant, but this seems much bigger.
