Full Moon (Penumbral) Lunar Eclipse in Aries October 2013
Full Moon (Penumbral) Lunar Eclipse in Aries October 2013
This Full Moon (Penumbral) Lunar Eclipse in Aries touches the Moon’s outer limb out of sign which leaves the Moon in Aries as the entrance point and instigator for the Scorpio Solar Eclipse November 3rd and as a preamble for the Eclipses in Aries Libra 2014-2015. Also called the Hunter’s Moon appropriate for Aries as the call to the wild, it is a south node eclipse that draws out the past and the residue still lurking digging up with an Aries penchant all those depths hidden and forgotten that will see the light of day during the Aries/Libra eclipse season in the coming years. The chart is challenged having little air and earth with water and fire dominating showing the overbearing hostile takeover of irrational emotional reaction and less of the needed impartial reason and logic (air).
The south node eclipse pulls out a fall out pattern that will show the repercussions for those who become the scapegoat where loss is inevitable and with it a sense of draining. The Lunar Eclipse on the south node points to an emotional wasteland of debris that is released and or removed with a revisit to the past brought back again with a strong emotional reaction on a sentimental journey of memories and remembrance caught in a time warp with déjà vu ringing in your ears. As the Moon points to roots and ancestry, the Lunar Eclipse on the south node finds the haunting path to the old hood from childhood or past generations beckoning a revisit to relive those long buried past haunts one lost touch with.
The hard nosed to the wall New Moon in Libra a few weeks ago blossoms into a determined Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Aries with decisive action that gets all fired up with impatience unhinging the tired out fixed stubborn energy of Scorpio held up in grid lock with an agenda and the mind (Mercury) focused on the ball on topic without veering off course ready to fulfill a mission further piqued by Uranus Pluto join up in exact square again to perfect during the Solar Eclipse, November 3rd.
Aries emotions run wild and hot albeit direct and straightforward with no pussy footing around. Aries feels and says it like it is with no Libra sugar coating. With a separating square to Jupiter, the no holds barred release of this Full Moon (eclipse) has a backlash that has a bite which can take on the Aries flavor of selfish self interest- my way or the highway. The Moon Aries breaks from Libra cooperation to competition with a sense of win lose where someone has to take it on the chin. The thrill of victory and the air of winning pushes the Aries competitive, independent spirit into single minded purpose that cuts through any lag in motion or stagnation and gets things moving cutting to the chase.
The Libra focus on all relationships and agreements, bargaining reaches a head. When Aries Libra (negotiation) hit their polarity, Aries pushes its forward march to the Libra wavering back and forth putting a new face forward. Aries is the courageous crusader onward and leading the way to a new path. The Aries story is often about the solitary journey always open for the next adventure and exploration. Aries brings home the reality that we begin and end life alone even surrounded by others and that being self reliant and self aware is the first step toward finding a right fit with others. Aries equates with the 1st house of the chart, head first ramming into any obstacle or challenge ready to face the music, any fight or battle, new beginning or new horizon.
Moon Venus has been prominent in the last while during the lunar cycles. Moon Venus indicates female relationships in positive sinc where emotions (Moon) and relations (Venus) merge toward close female bonding and are nurtured with affectionate attention. Venus in Sagittarius is happy go lucky and light on the feet, openhearted and ready for the next dance just leaving a trine to Uranus where excitement and thrills take it to the top with a fire emphasis giving the Full Moon a blast of fiery feisty festivity. Venus in Sagittarius is boisterous and enthusiastic and mutable, giving it flexibility with the added fire which susses out any bullshit keeping things honest.
Mars now in Virgo, with Mars, ruler of the Full Moon in Aries, is decisive and takes direct action with carefully planned steps (Virgo). Mars in Virgo gets to work and the job done ready to be immersed in the details in overdrive which is seen in full blown cantankerous reactions around Obamacare and Healthcare as Virgo rules over health. Mars last run through Virgo in 2011/2012 was in retrograde which brings us up to speed on the virtues of the Virgo work ethic where Mars Virgo can belabor a point to agonizing lengths.
Mars is oppose Neptune Pisces as actions get slippery and sneaky. Physically we may feel energy levels on the low side and draining. Mars actions can be muddled in a sea of confusion (Neptune). Eye contact and direct contact is the side swiped, vision obscured, blurry or bleary eyed in the midst of a fog looking for a place to escape and hide. Mars Virgo catches up to trine Pluto and makes constructive connections to the nodal axis and Saturn just before the Solar Eclipse to take decisiveness to the max with responsible (Saturn) and careful (Virgo) planning.
The US shut down shows up in the US chart with the US Mercury in Cancer (8th house-debt) oppose Pluto (2nd house-finance) over the financial houses (economy) stressed with the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse showing the showdown and the aggravated defeat and wound over the 10th house (government) and in the 4th house (roots and base camp) over the US natal Chiron in Aries. What is most impressive is the Full Moon Aries Lunar Eclipse over Obama’s progressed chart which sits quite mercilessly over his challenged progressed Moon Ascendant in Aries crossing his Saturn Jupiter Capricorn Mars Libra tsquare over his angles clearly indicating the battle and boiling points with the Aries Moon seizing the day.
Mercury Scorpio has slowed down to its station point soon to turn retrograde October 21st ready to trine Jupiter giving communications a burst of positive growth and extravagance. Expect plenty of deep conversations that get to the heart of the matter and the crux of anything digging out anything buried. Mercury in Scorpio is concentrated at this pivotal point pulling out all stops of the stubborn fixed Scorpio energy over Saturn into the Solar Eclipse in the next couple of weeks that holds fast to fixating on keeping focused and resilient.
