SAGITTARIUS FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE, JUNE 5, 2020 @ 3:12 p.m. EDT

A Full Moon is the harvest time of seeds planted during a previous New Moon.  It is a time when we reap what we have sown and either advance our cause or make significant changes or maybe even begin anew. 

An eclipse adds intensity to what the Full Moon’s energies are about.  Many individuals fear an eclipse due to the reputation of bringing a crisis to the surface or creating a significant change.  However, it should be noted that these changes or so-called crisis can be quite productive and positive in nature depending how they are affecting your personal natal chart planets and points by aspect.

This eclipse takes place in the sign of Sagittarius which is often linked to growth and learning potential.  Sagittarius’ ruling planet, Jupiter, is also tied into the equation and often brings good luck and fortunate conditions into place.  An optimistic approach is often highlighted, and it is best to view life’s situations in this light regardless of how life currently looks. 

Sagittarius is growth oriented and teaches us about spirituality and religious.  Its energies are positive and reminds us that something good is always just around the next corner.

Transiting Mars and transiting Venus join in this eclipse with Mars (the planet of aggression and drive) squares this position at 15 degrees Pisces while Venus is in opposition to the Moon.  The square from Mars can indicate some struggles along the way where forceful or assertive energies are in place.  Squares indicate obstruction and obstacles to overcome. 

Venus on the other hand while in opposition brings romance and relationships into the forefront of what is taking place.  Oppositions always involve others and in many cases these individuals are the ones pushing and adding something that propels us into action due to the square from Mars.  Squares are irritating enough that they force us into taking some action to alleviate these conditions.  Without squares we may stagnate and become complacent. 

Much, of course, will depend on the placement of the Sun and Moon by house position while transiting through your personal chart.  These are the areas of life that will be part of the unfolding story.  Those with planets or angles between 12 to 20 degrees in a mutable sign will be influenced far greater than other people who do not have placements in Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. 

This is a significant placement for those influenced.  Those individuals that do not have major factors in their charts this eclipse might slip by with little notice.

ARE YOU ENOUGH?

This is a question we ask ourselves throughout our lives.  We question whether or not we are living up to our potential and living our life as best we can. 

Can we be more? 

Are we enough? 

We are always enough but can always be more.  We are never totally complete, but we are currently experiencing a human experience and that is part of the lesson.  Completeness is a concept.  What is completeness? 

Your potential is perfect for this moment.  You are on track even when it does not feel that way.  Is the feeling of being off track a motivating tool? 

You are enough, will always be enough.

PROGRESSED SUN CONJUNCT THE MIDHEAVEN OR ASCENDANT

The progressed Sun moves one degree per year.  Its influence will be in effect for three years and can be felt as much as one and one-half degrees before it becomes direct and the same period after it moves away from being exact.  The progressed Sun, just as in the natal chart, has to do with ambition, power and authority.  It also governs our vitality and the ability to recuperate from illnesses.  It often identifies the masculine partner in a woman’s chart or the father as well as authority figures in life such as your superiors within the working environment, but it could also be directly related to you.

When the progressed Sun is in conjunction with the natal ascendant, it can be a time of advancement in life on many levels.  This could include favourable opportunities for change in life and opportunities for inner achievement and outer success.  It could also mean potential for meeting someone in life that has a great influence on you and will teach you many life lessons.  It could also suggest that the father (or masculine parent) or in some cases a son has these opportunities.   These influences are on a positive note if there are other conditions within the chart that suggest similar opportunities.

The progressed Sun on the Ascendant often implies that health is robust and feelings linked to good health are often a by-product.  Much depends on the influence of other transits and progressions affecting the Ascendant during its three year period.

When the progressed Sun is in conjunction to the Midheaven depending on the age of the individual they may find advancement opportunities in the occupation or may graduate from University.  Some of life’s objectives often materialize when the progressed Sun reaches this degree.  More opportunities for hopes and wishes to manifest are often indicated when the Progressed Sun reaches the MC.  Changes of a positive sort to status may occur or present themselves.  Much depends on the natal potential, but the time is ripe for opportunities to enhance the career or move ahead in life under this influence.

If the Progressed Sun were conjunct the MC it would also be in opposition to the IC often suggesting changes to the home environment and family members.  Oppositions usually imply actions from someone else and this could suggest that a son or possibly a daughter might move from home especially if Venus or Mars is somehow connected to this position.  There may be potential for income or opportunities involving the home.  More potential is suggested when the Progressed Sun is in conjunction to the IC, as conjunctions offer more opportunities than oppositions.  Oppositions often suggest reversals or challenging conditions that often stem from others.

When deciphering the Progressed Sun always take into consideration the natal potential and transits and progressions to the chart as a whole.  Remember there has to be three or more aspects with similarities in their energies to stimulate an event, either through transit or progression.  The more aspects involved the greater the possibility for an event to occur.

FOREVER STRENGTHENING

We can easily get so caught up in the current virus situation and we tend to forget about the less talked about pressures that many individuals are going through.  There is still mass starvation, droughts, forest fires, abuse, hate crimes etc. taking place on a grand scale.  We need to remember these and do what we can to assist those in need around the world.

We all walk this road together which is even more evidence today than ever.  We share our uncertainty and fear but hold our heads high and are forever strengthening our resolve to not only defeat what presents itself to us, including this virus, but to rise above it and to continue to feel and appreciate our inner connectedness with all living things.  We are not weakening even though some feel this way.  We can continue to assist those in need, even if our only ability is to show caring and give love and be compassionate. 

Hold on to the precious part of “you” that can transcend anything.  Be true to your calling now more than ever as we are all being tested on one level or another. 

We are resilient and will overcome however that may look.  The more individuals that believe this, the greater the reach.  It is and always will be in our hands.  We can rise to the occasion.

TRANSITING URANUS SQUARE NATAL MERCURY

During the upcoming year transiting Uranus in the sign of Taurus will be moving between 6-12 degrees.  Those with their natal Mercury in the sign of Leo or Aquarius allowing an 8 degrees orb will be experiencing this square.  We will not be going into the difference between Mercury the planet of the mind and communication in these two signs, but we will discuss how Uranus can affect Mercury when in the square aspect.

Uranus’ energies are about change of direction often experienced through sudden or unexpected events.  This change of direction is often related to the need for something new to take the place of something that no longer serves a viable purpose.  Uranus has to do with upheaval and awakening and works in ways that will push you in directions that are now more appropriate for your personal growth than what was previous to this time.

Mercury has to do with the process of thinking, how the mind works and your communication techniques.  Since Mercury is now being aspected in a challenging manner through the energies of Uranus you can expect a change of direction associated with patterns of thinking and how you have been living your life.  You may be experiencing a new way of looking at your life and those around you.  You may find that the direction is quite different from where it may have been prior to this time.  This can run deep and be of a profound influence.

Your whole pattern of relating to life may be subject to scrutiny and change, and you may find that there are ways of dealing with life’s matters that are easier to follow although the change of direction may be somewhat challenging and disruptive.  There is an awakening of sorts taking place on many levels currently, and we are all experiencing some disruption on our own level and belief structure. 

The change, although challenging, forces you into action and makes you adjust so that life looks different.  You may find ways that help you deal with any adversity or you may find that life has become so tedious that you feel forced to look for new ways of looking at things.  In most cases the energies are not subtle, and you may have been preparing for this change for some time without really realizing it.  The change is quite necessary and will lift you out of complacency and shift your focus in a new direction that is much more suitable for you and your future.  This can be disruptive, and the change may cause some concern but rest assured that it is necessary, and the shift is due.

Much more information can be found by looking at the houses involved and how natal Mercury and natal Uranus are aspected.  Do not forget this aspect is temporary in its effect but the likelihood of a permanent change is strong, and you are ready for it now, or it would not be happening.  Regardless of the aspect involved, all energies are workable, so find ways to connect with this moment in time and walk the road you are now meant to follow.

TRANSITING MERCURY AND THE MIDHEAVEN (MC)

In general, transiting Mercury moves quickly through the Zodiac.  It moves through a single sign in about 3 weeks.  When it goes retrograde, which occurs about 3 times a year, our plans to sign agreements are best left until Mercury goes direct again (each retrograde cycle usually last about 4 to 5 weeks).  Many fear Mercury retrograde cycles but this cycle should be used as a preparation time so that we can move forward once Mercury returns to direct motion.

Mercury retrograde would be especially strong in an Astrology chart if it conjuncts, squares, or is in opposition to an angle or planet by less than three degrees and especially if Mercury is retrograde in the natal/birth chart.

When Mercury moves across the Midheaven, this would be a time when our profession or work holds importance.  Perhaps this would be a time to prepare for upcoming events, or to make significant plans that will have an impact on you and/or others.  When Mercury crosses the Midheaven, communication in any form is highlighted.  It should be noted however that in general the energies of the Midheaven are not directly related to your personal life so whatever events may take place will not have an impact on your private life.

If Mercury is in retrograde, this should be a time when you review any details that need to be addressed for the near future.  You can analyse this information and put the final touches on your plans so that all will be in perfect shape when the time is right to bringing this information or your proposals to those in a positions of authority or to those who will be affected by your plans.  If you plan and set goals during the time that Mercury is in retrograde and decide to pursue these before Mercury has turned direct, the potential for these goals to come to fruition is not as favourable as they would be if you were to wait out the retrograde cycle and take action after Mercury has turned direct.  This is not to say that you will not reach your goals but events may not run as smoothly as they would if Mercury were direct.  On the other hand, however, if you are naturally drawn to procrastination then the retrograde period often suggests that you pursue things now.  Which applies to you?

Mercury rules the thinking process and how the mind works.  The Midheaven or MC deals with plans, our occupations, our life’s status, our ego and our public reputation.  It is important to recognize which stage Mercury will be in when reviewing material that you want to make public.  The activation of Mercury’s energies will be in effect much longer if it is in retrograde.  Also, Mercury will pass the MC three times before it finally goes direct and passes out of influence of the Midheaven.  Insure you use these energies to reach your goals particularly by timing action around the end of the retrograde cycle whenever possible.  If life dictates that you cannot time action according to the retrograde and direct cycles, move forward with caution but remain optimistic that you will succeed.

BUILDING ON THE POSITIVE

Do you find that your outlook in general is positive? 

Do you notice a lot of stress and issues that just don’t seem to want to go away?

If you find that life is getting you down and you feel caught up in negativity, perhaps you could refocus your attention even just a little.  Paying attention to the challenging conditions in life will only serve to amplify them.

It is always a good practice to review how we are feeling.  Examine why we are feeling the way we are (what has happened recently).  Only then can we understand why we are feeling what we are experiencing and then we can make alterations in how you perceive these experiences.

We may not be able to change events that happen around us but this does not make us at the mercy of these events.  We have full control over what we perceive our life to be.  Happiness grows within and does not hinge on events in our lives.  Happiness is a choice.

Two individuals can attend a wedding.  One can thoroughly enjoy themselves simply sitting back and watching the festivities.  The second, experiencing exactly the same events as the first individual and sitting back and watching, could have a miserable experience.   Why?  The same event experience by two individuals are received on opposite ends of the spectrum simply because of the different varying attitudes towards sitting back and watching.

Pay heed to your reactions.  Alter anything that does not go along with the calm and peace that you seek.  Meditate on creating a centre where you feel at peace regardless of what befalls you.  You have always had this ability and now it is up to you to channel things in such a way that you prefer happiness and contentment.  Do not get caught up on anything that is less than satisfying.

Over time we can achieve great things with this focus.  Create a mantra that you can repeat over and over again to remind yourself of your preferred positive focus.

Your happiness is a choice.  What do you choose?
