ECLIPSE HOROSCOPES

With this post I thought I would just launch into my take on the events which are about to transpire. Here's a little mini- horoscope, a cliff notes version of each sign. Read for your rising sign if you know it..If you do not know your rising sign ,your Sun should work just fine too but the interpretation will affect you more generally. And here you go, your October 8th Eclipse Guide:

Aries: Well, it's not surprising that the eclipse will affect you more intensely than most. That's because this eclipse is in your sign and in the area of the chart that rules your body, head, appearance and generally your auric field as a whole. With Uranus conjunct this Eclipse be on alert for surprising events involving you as the lead role. You will probably feel impatient, energized, enlivened at this lunation because this is what Uranus does. You may feel like something is emerging , a breakthrough, an event of sorts. Which comes out of the blue.

Taurus: Dear Taurus, this eclipse falls in your 12th house, or house of what is hidden. What this means is that this eclipse is more likely to affect you internally, deep within your subconscious. You could have great inner emotional movements, shifts, which you can't quite put your finger on. You may make a trip to a hospital to visit someone, or hear about a secret. This is also a great time to do something creative, and which utilizes your imagination. Because I feel like this is what you are desperately craving right now. Have a moment with your self and create something which inspires you.

Gemini: Gemini, you will certainly feel compelled to socialize at this full moon.Your friends may be having some get together and you have a sense of apprehension or total excitement about it.You may feeling unmotivated to attend some event or chat to some person, or respond to that email. But you know you need to in order to get things moving. The focus however is on your clique. What's going on? You are feeling all the energy of the moon, and it's eclipse. Is there something you need to get off your chest regarding some friend? Are you thinking about de-friending?

Cancer: Dear Cancer, This eclipse takes place in your career and reputation arena. You could hear big news involving a position you hoped to get, a promotion and to be recognized for your role in a big project. You could get some kind of award, and doing so affirm your decisions since April. You made good choices, trust them . Also focus could be around your father figure, perhaps a big birthday celebration, reunion, confrontation or concern.

Leo: Leo, Your vision has finally started to show fruit! Youv'e been researching, studying or writing something. Dedicating yourself to the pursuit of a goal which involves your mind and maybe even your spirit. You have broadened your scope somehow in the last little while. It's something which makes you feel like you've achieved a vision you had. Be proud of yourself! You've just about made it. Have you been more involved with your religion? Feeling connected? This Eclipse helps you do this more easily by providing a bright frame of mind.

Virgo: Dear Virgo, I know you've been searching deep within yourself for truth recently, and you sought to de-clutter your psyche and transform certain parts of yourself, maybe your relationship with money, perhaps you had to let the old you go in favour of a new role. Maybe you let yourself be vulnerable again, or maybe you've been in counselling and healing your soul. Know that you are on the right track and that the universe always has perfect timing, and knows everything you go through. Keep smiling! A new you is emerging.

Libra: Hello Libra, Your partner and you, or you yourself and ...you  have been doing some emotional work lately, or perhaps something intense has been simmering and is now coming out, coming up to be looked at. You've been having an epic dialogue and the truth us now coming out. This is good for your soul,  as it helps you learn more lessons about relating and sharing ourselves.  The sense of balance may be distant right now, but know that sometimes one must "Lose balance" to regain it. It's all about contrast.

Scorpio: Your body is your temple dear Scorpio. You may feel like you are under alot of strain right now, and this is due to the ridiculous amount of work you've been forcing yourself to do lately. And there may be little appreciation for this work.  But this is more about you than the world. You needed this to know that you could do it. For the sake of doing it. You thrive when making chaos into order under this moon. Perhaps your perception of "hard work" has changed? You are so good at making sense of things, and devoting your self to the truth and the work that goes with upholding it.

Sagittarius: You may be gearing up for some fun, Dear Sag. And this is totally deserved. You needed to let loose a little bit, for this is like a pressure valve which lets your subconscious mind know that all is well in your world. You may also be connecting with little kids, babysitting? Or maybe seeing friends for a night on the town, a flirtatious date, a games night? or maybe to put on a show. Whatever it is, fun and joy are the name of the game. The attention will be on you in some way or form. Your self is in the spotlight, and you enjoy this.

Capricorn: Dearest Capricorn, you may be planning to hide out this Eclipse, things have been mighty unstable of late, and you crave some time at home, with family or just by yourself doing something that fills a need. It could be something involving your unique perspective of life, like painting, listening to or composing music, writing. What this comes down to is that you are in desperate need to connect with the core of your being so you can feel alive again. If you are planning to move, the emotional aspect of moving my now come up for review. You do so dislike being and feeling uprooted. It takes work to build a home. You may have a sit down with your mom, and chat, or it could be a time of just general family bonding time. Who is your family?

Aquarius: Has your inbox been filling up more quickly in the last week, expecting some important message from that important place? This Eclipse is about wrapping up communications. Stopping an old dialogue and starting a new one. You may get a message from a long last friend, whom you've been thinking about or not at all. Either way it will be a surprise. Be careful while driving, do all your checks, and follow the rules, avoid traffic if you can. The commute may make your stress levels climb on the day of this lunar event. Your mind may be feeling extremely active! In fact it may be hard to shut it off. Ideas may be streaming in after a block. Write it all down, there could be gold in what's being presented.

Pisces: Dearest Pisces, your mind has been on your finances more so than in a while. What this means, is that you are asking for support. Remember that the support you need comes exactly when you need it, when you trust the universe. You also need to learn to trust your own skills and follow your intuitive hunches. Ideas that you have been working on may come about  to answer your need for support. On a different note, you may be craving unusual foods and may even sample them on this full moon. Just make sure that if it's spicy, that you can handle it! Check the expiry dates on foods, and prepare meals with love.

Who are you now?

So it's been a while right? So much happens in life, so fast. Must be the quickening of time the Mayans foretold.

Right now we are all going through deep change.(When aren't we?) Change is now more of a constant as you will now realize. Our idea of life has become much more adaptable, and we move with the current. Don't get me wrong. We still have issues to work on and karma to deal with but there just seems to be a mixed bag of events happening all around us now.

 I've been calling myself a spiritual person for such a long time, but the truth is that was way to broad a definition. I now go by terms like ally, healer, partner, witch, starseed. I tacked more labels on for easy reference.

When you sew a label onto something which you like, you tack it on lightly so it can be easily removed later on. That's what we do in life as well. Or rather, that's what most of us are doing now since the awakening. We are not so cut and dry, attached to our definitions of self. We understand that to get too attached is what is 'wrong' with the world. Be more ephemeral, more loose, more light, more open, more flexible. We all seem to be in a sort of identity crisis. And for the first time, we are actually ok with that.

We don't need to be so specific in order to experience life. We want life to inspire, surprise, nurture and sustain us. We can't do so when we are stuck to something solid like a self belief, a prejudice, dogma, rules, things we don't believe we can do, say or be.

Be like a piece of seaweed on the ocean. Be manipulated by the current of life with an attitude of trust and surrender...
