In the sky chart these days there are a few potent processes happening at the same time. They are giving us an opportunity for deep cleansing and reality check, especially in the emotional realm and relationships in our life. The bottom line of all that is happening is the Uranus Pluto forth exact square at this time which is about redefining our lives in a way that eliminate what we don’t need anymore and moving forward. (To read more about it go to the link).
October 18/19 Lunar Eclipse (depends on your timezone) in 25’45 degrees Aries/Libra axis, puts us in a position where we have to claim our individuality in every relationship we are in, whether romantic or another type. The Aries eclipse is about manifesting our creative self within the relation with other people in our life. So it’s time to ask yourself if you can be authentic and present in the relationship without feeling the need to fight or defend yourself?
Be there with full enthusiasm but don’t give up on your way, but at the end of the day you must realize that you need to choose between war and peace. Peace comes when we realize that all the opposites, other opinions, different political views etc are all part of the one Truth that connect us together and there is a place for every color, gender, religion etc.
“Recognize that the other person is you” – Yogi Bhajan
Mars the ruler of the Eclipse is in Virgo and ruled by Mercury in Scorpio – both are important to understand the eclipse better.
Mars and Mercury are in mutual reception, meaning ruling each other’s sign. Mars in Virgo is looking at the world with a more analytic and critical point of view but also Mercury i Scorpio wants to investigate and understand things that lying under the surface. Both of them are demanding from us to work harder, dig deeper and be honest and serious with our cleansing process.
So they both help us clean the emotional “leftovers”, the cycles we need to close and toxins we need to flash from our body, mind and heart. It’s an opportunity for a deeper detoxification process, physical and emotional, that can give us the power to release and move forward.
Mercury goes retrograde in Scorpio from October 23rd until November 11. He completes the water retrogrades for 2013 (previous retrogrades were in Cancer and Pisces). In a way it’s taking us to a place where we need to shade light on a dark spot within us, bring it to the surface and learn to live with what it means to us. So we probably will feel more exposed emotionally, but maybe it’s time to take this risk and be open and honest with yourself and with others. Connecting in an honest way about your deep emotions can be risky, but sometimes we have to take the challenge and check with ourselves if we are really ready to go deeper and stronger or are we going to surrender our fears and limitations?
On his retrograde journey Mercury will also go over Saturn and the North Node, which makes this retrograde even more potent, and also will exactly conjunct the North Node on the November 3rd Solar Eclipse. so all theses events happening together are going to force us to see what we need to see and let go of fears, habits, and all that is keeping us from evolve to be who we really are.
Sounds dramatic, and it is going to have a dramatic effect on our lives.
The solar Eclipse on November 3rd will be in 11’15 degrees Scorpio, conjunct Mercury Rx and Saturn and sexitle Mars in Virgo. The Eclipse energy can have impact on agreements or talks at this time or some political moves and decisions that can bring a dramatic result with no turning back.
The stellium of planets in Scorpio during this time emphasizes the need to make deep changes, release the past and focus on the possibilities of the future. Mercury Rx on the north node will expose us to the things we need to deal with in order to move on. It can be unpleasant or uncomfortable things, pain, fears or any other thing that makes us feel limited in a subconscious way. It’s really a reality check, time to be sober, brave and have the courage to look at the truth and life as it is.
This Eclipse can bring a karmic cleansing with Saturn and Mercury Rx joining in. It’s time to take responsibility for what we need and check if we can align ourselves emotionally. So it can take you on a journey to check you motivations and intentions about something. How do you know where it will affect you? look at your personal chart for the house and planets the Eclipse is affecting. It will show you where things are potentially going to be exposed and brought up to the surface.
In addition, Venus is going to be out of bounds for the next months. Venus is the ruler of the south node in Taurus so she is important in understanding the Eclipses. She will bring a great need of freedom in our relationships and also a lot of instability around it and of course the Taurus issues like resources, Money etc. It’s a time to go out of the box in these matters and try to free yourself from traditional or limited patterns.
What you can do to make the best out of these intense weeks is to be honest with yourself and your inner process and also try to transform the energy in a positive way. Many resistances will come up, as they usually do during intense times of change. Let yourself be present in the moment, don’t hold on to the past and don’t have expectations from the future. Expect the unexpected, build your nervous system and stay positive. Here’s a good Kundalini Yoga Kriya for detoxification to do at this time. You can also practice the following meditation for removing fear of the future. Keep up!
