We had indicated on August 8 that we would continue our look on tight
aspects in Transits and Progressions today.
However, we thought it much more important to discuss the New Moon,
Solar Eclipse which will take place tomorrow, August 11, 2018. We will continue our look at tight aspects on
August 13 and 15.
The New Moon (Partial)
Solar Eclipse begins at 5:57 am EDT and is 18 degrees in the sign of Leo. It should be noted that because the moon is
visible during daytime hours, the night skies will be quite dark which is ideal
for viewing the Perseid meteor showers (if Momma Nature co-operates) which peak,
I believe, on August 13.
Those with their Sun,
Moon, angles or other planetary links to this position will not only be
influenced by this New Moon position but also by the Solar eclipse. This will be the third and final solar
eclipse of 2018. This eclipse can be
viewed (again if Momma Nature co-operates) in the north
Atlantic in northern Canada, the Arctic, northern and eastern parts of Europe and some northern and western parts
of Asia.
The energies of a
Solar eclipse is said to last the equal amount of years as hours of the time
span of the eclipse. The average Solar
Eclipse lasts 3 to 4 hours, so the average duration of the energetic influence would
be 3 to 4 years. This partial eclipse
will be much shorter than this in totality.
There are times when an outpouring of events and insights (particularly with
this eclipse being linked to Mercury) occur on the given day of the
eclipse.
The issues or knowledge
that arises during this event (although not limited to this period) will be
what needs to be discussed over the upcoming duration of the eclipse influence
(in years). So what is brought to the
surface will need dealing with over the whole period when activated by transits
to this location in the Astrology chart.
The eclipse becomes much more relevant when we have positions within the
birth chart that are within 3 degrees by aspect to the 18 degree mark of
Leo.
Progress is often made
during the upcoming years, although some changes that do take place can be very
transformative and will require adjustments due to the correlation of
transiting Pluto which is quincunx this position at 19 degrees of
Capricorn.
Unfortunately, some
people fear eclipses as they have found that it brings the unconscious into consciousness
and makes them aware of subtleties that would not normally be recognized.
Some, on the other
hand, experience a hyperawareness with a feeling or knowing that they are
capable of doing most anything during this period and this is certainly not to
be feared.
We will also have a
quincunx to transiting Neptune during this period. Neptune is currently at 15 degrees of
Pisces. A quincunx speaks of adjustments
and awareness consciously or unconsciously of what can be done, sometimes
through intuitive understanding due to Neptune’s influence. You will have to take note of where this
eclipse falls in your natal chart as well as the houses where transiting
Neptune and Pluto are found. These will
be areas of life that will be affected during this upcoming period. Transits that form an opposition and the
conjunction over this placement in the upcoming years at 18 degrees Leo can
have a most profound influence if activated in your chart.
The sign of the New
Moon Eclipse (Leo) is also very significant and the energies are linked to the
sign and its natural unfolding. Leo is a
fixed fire sign often suggesting enthusiasm for life, engagement and a strong
belief in self and personal capabilities.
Leo is not easily sways, although the best intensions are always at
heart in matters of importance. Leo is
eager to help and assist and often feels as though they know what is best for
others. During this period, perhaps we
should pay attention to this and follow our heart and do what is best.
The New Moon also
stimulates activity and is a good time to begin new things (Planting seeds in
the garden of life). It is said that a
solar eclipse can help us break patterns of behaviour that no longer serve a
viable purpose and we can reboot our vigar in moving ahead in our life’s
matters. Encourage your eagerness and
utilize these energies appropriately.
The transiting
planetary positioning suggested by the Sun/Moon conjunction in Leo and the
quincunx’s from Neptune in Pisces and Pluto in Capricorn form what is called a
Yod or Finger of God formation. This
configuration often speaks of emotional or psychological readjustments and the
focal planet (Sun/Moon) by house and sign positioning is the area of life that
needs our attentiveness. Yods often indicate
turning points when we can meet the demands set up often due to a crisis in our
lives. We can then work on a
constructive resolution to the dilemma and come out ahead in the end.
This can be the
perfect time to move away from problem areas of life and to make creative
changes that not only affect our life’s course but will also help others in
ways that we may not even be aware of.
The sextile between
Neptune and Pluto can bring opportunities for resolution often through direct
confrontation with self and an honest focus, which in turn creates positive
impacts in our life.
