Lunar Eclipse
Tonight there is an exciting celestial event! There is a total lunar eclipse occurring at 1 Virgo 54. This is of great interest to me because my rising sign is 1 Pisces 53 (directly opposing the eclipse) Astrologically, an eclipse means the ending of some things and illumination of new things. So, the occurrence of the eclipse on my ascendant (Sun on the ascendant, moon on the descendant) within ONE MINUTE, is pretty significant. Theoretically, the influence lasts for about six months. So, I’ll have to write about whether or not anything totally monumental happens. According Robert Wilkinson on his site, The Aquarius Papers, “The Sun is the Light, while the Moon gives form to that Light. With the eclipse Sun in Pisces, we’re offered ways to understand the vaster field we all live within, while the Moon will help us focus on the place and function of all the specifics. Of major significance is the Moon conjunct Saturn, fusing our feelings with our purpose, helping us get clear about the limits of what we are and aren’t supposed to be doing. Saturn shows a need to demonstrate expertise and “grab the brass ring,” this supported by Uranus prodding us to put ourselves out there as well. Saturn is retrograde, leading us inward on a journey to wisdom through the experiences shown by this eclipse.” It will be very interesting to watch the next few months unfold. If the common wisdom on eclipses is true, I should be having an interesting few months.
Hi there. I was doing a search on eclipses falling exactly on the ascendant/descendant (this will happen to me in August) and I came across your blog. So, to get a taste of what I might expect in the months to come, I scrolled through your blog and found that your mother passed away this year. I’m so sorry for your loss, and I hope she went peacefully.
If you care to share, would you mind telling me what kinds of experiences the eclipse brought you in the past few months so I can get a feel for it? This is making me kind of nervous, as I don’t want to lose anyone or anything important. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Also, my mother’s aunt married a man who was one of the Mormons who colonized in Mexico… there’s a story about being raided by Pancho Villa, but I’m not sure if it’s fact or family legend.
I can get you in touch with that family if you’d like to talk to them. Can’t speak to the polygamy part, as no one has mentioned it, but one never knows.
Best,
Pepper
