As we all
sit back and process the effects of the recent lunar eclipse in Aries on
October 8th, I am finding myself deeply inspired by Pam Younghans' NorthPoint
Journal. I know that many of us have dreaded and feared this eclipse (myself
included), but Pam Younghans’ weekly journal managed to inject a ray of hope by
pointing out that in addition to the eclipse, we also experienced a rare
astrological configuration called a Kite.
What is a
Kite? A Kite aspect occurs when one planet sextiles two other planets that form
a grand trine with the planet that opposes the first one. This particular kite
featured a grand fire trine involving Mars in Sagittarius, Jupiter in Leo and
Uranus in Aries. A grand fire trine provides support for creativity,
inspiration and impulsivity. The Sun in Libra directly opposed Uranus in Aries
as well as the moon during this recent eclipse. A Kite represents a lot of
energy stirring that is quite restless. The opposing planet is actually the
backbone of the pattern because it feeds into all of the planets involved in
the grand trine and the kite literally couldn't fly without it. On October 8th,
Michael Lutin posted on his site:
"Thank
God for Libra because right now the only thing to do is..."
He has a box
on his site called EMBRACE THE EMPTINESS.
When you click on it he describes the message of this lunar eclipse as finding
balance when you don't want any. The bottom line is to find a balance between
serving yourself and serving others. No easy feat, let me tell you!
What were
the issues and themes of this Kite?
Uranus and the Moon in Aries provided us with the courage, insight and
self-focus to break free of restraints and limitations while Jupiter in Leo
served to expand our self-confidence and optimism. Mars in Sagittarius fueled the
fires of conviction and belief in our worth while providing energy to take on
new challenges. The Sun in Libra, as the only air sign in this configuration,
provided us with a level of objectivity and a foundation for balance and
harmony.
It's really
important to look at where 15 degrees of Aries and Libra fall in your chart to
fully comprehend how this eclipse has impacted your life. And don't forget that
its effects will probably continue to manifest for another six months.
Personally,
on the day of the lunar eclipse the Aries moon fell in the last degree of my
sixth house. I have been getting an increase in my healing practice, so these
skills can be embraced. The Sun fell in
my 12th house and I am trying to believe that can represent a completion of a
karmic cycle and a letting go of all that I have outgrown. I am thrilled to
report that the Sun entered my 1st house on October 9th, which was like an
adrenaline rush with its infusion of energy. I have just survived the transits
of the Sun in my 12th house and Saturn in Scorpio on my Sun. Neither one of
these transits is particularly energizing. I am definitely ready to fly that
kite!
Let's not
forget the other two players in that Kite configuration. Mars in 15 degrees of Sagittarius fell in my
3rd house of communication and I am literally bursting at the seams to spread
the word about this Kite and the lunar eclipse. Jupiter in 15 degrees of Leo
fell in my 10th house imbuing me with renewed optimism about the value of my
work.
I think that
relationships will continue to play out as the major theme of this eclipse.
Venus in Libra was squaring Pluto in Capricorn on the eclipse, underscoring the
issues of financial matters and evoking feelings of situations beyond our
control. Saturn in Scorpio also conjuncted Ceres in 21 degrees of Scorpio,
requiring us to be honest with ourselves about how we project our emotional
energy and take responsibility for transforming it. This is especially relevant
for me because I have my natal Ceres at 27 degrees of Scorpio conjunct my natal
retrograde Venus in Scorpio in the 2nd house.
I hope that
everyone found some hope and inspiration from this Kite during the recent lunar
eclipse.
The emphasis
on relationships continues as retrograde Mercury slips back into Libra on
October 10th. Mercury stays in Libra until Libra until November 1st, digging up
even more relationship stuff from the past.
If you are
feeling confused during these challenging times and curious as to how the
October eclipses (yes, folks we have a solar eclipse coming up on October 23rd
in Scorpio), Saturn, Mars, Uranus, Chiron or the Black Moon Lilith are
affecting you, please consider getting an astrological reading to obtain more
insight and assistance in the healing process. I have also added a one question
astrology reading to my list of services for $40 that is an even more intuitive
approach based on your natal and progressed charts with transits to both.
