Truly, I was determined not to write a post about the solar eclipse occurring in but a few hours. However, I succumbed to the peer pressure of Venus in Libra. Could I be the only astrologer on Earth not to weigh in on the eclipse? I could, but the eclipse is on my Mercury, dammit!
So here’s the bottom line or five:
During a solar eclipse the Sun (conscious mind) is blocked out by the Moon (subconscious patterns). Under the influence of a solar eclipse folks tend to respond more instinctively, driven by primal emotional and reactionary forces. That can be good news or not so good news.
This phenomenon will be compounded by the legendary intensity of Scorpio. As I predicted last week (and oh by the way, our Senate and local congressional race here in Arizona are not yet over), 49% of U. S. voters are hanging flags upside down, threatening to move to Canada and issuing other “cut off your nose to spite your face” statements that stem from fresh emotional dilemmas and/or crossroads.
Scorpio deals with resources. Of course the hype that started the day after the election states that we’re on a fiscal cliff and no one in America, or any civilized country, wants austerity. A filthy rich pizza magnate is raising pizza prices in reaction to his employer’s obligations to pay for employee health care cost. Tax brackets are hotly contested in the U. S. Congress. But really, the ultimate personalized Scorpio agenda in finance is that of needing to feel in charge of matters monetary and in that, in control of one’s destiny.
Ah, the destiny part of Scorpio. There is a drive that lurks deep within that powers the spirit with dogged determination even at the darkest of dawns. During a Scorpio solar eclipse anyone on the planet can track that emotion. It’s call passion. Passion is the substrate of creativity. Creativity and its implementation just might be the source beacon for shifting consciousness. It might. And there’s only one way to know. Lock on, Luke, and trust the Force.
We are preparing for a meeting in Scorpio of Mercury retrograde, the Sun and the lunar north node - a three-prong destiny driver. This meeting takes place in clear view of all. It’s time to tune in, tune it up and get it rolling. This year is not yet lost... not with more than six weeks left. So much can yet be done. Here’s a question: What would you do if you didn’t believe that the Mayan Calendar was bringing the end of the world? Naturally, no rationale enlightened being believes the world is going to end. But if a psychic told you a duck was going to drop a brick on your head, and though you realize the improbability and absurdity of the prognostication, you’ll still look up when you hear quacking, pass under a brick portal, or step outside.
Mars presently powers over the Galactic Center. Feeling destiny urges but lacking inspiration? Sit down. Ask the Universe or whatever you call the Great Mystery out there what it wants you to know. Download it. Unzip it. Save the insights. Let inspiration rile you and shift you consciousness gears.
I’ll likely not write before Mars enters Capricorn. As Mars travels through late Sagittarius and measures his way into Capricorn, he passes a series of rapidly spinning pulsars of the x-ray eclipsing binary category. I know, right? Here are a few clews for using these:
Do not repeat stated agendas. Instead engage them.
Do not discuss what you have fixed, healed or completed. It could cause backtracking. Instead, know the integration and function now at an enhanced stratum of clarity and perception.
Do not engage in unwinnable arguments or force a doctrine upon the unwilling. Instead, work where there is receptivity and advance your cause with giant strides.
Do not attempt to measure your work output. If you do, you might believe you’re being careless or negligent. Instead, work with what you capture from your creative vision..
