The Eclipse

Eclipses represents a moment of conclusion and changes that are not only personal but also social. The changes take place because Eclipses take apart the Sun and the Moon electromagnetic, as well as the standards of human behavior. Eclipses change a moment in the universe where everything that is incubated or waiting for the right moment to enter into action, comes into place. So, it is very common for us to experience some conclusion in a chapter of our lives. This in return will free our magnetic fields to accept new standards, people and new events. The truth usually comes out during an Eclipse.

During an Eclipse, and sometimes 4 days before and 2 weeks after, we experience a lot of confusion and disorientation, which is normal, and things tend to happen so fast that we usually can’t follow it. It feels as if we are watching a movie, and all of the sudden someone presses the fast forward button. In reality, this is a reaction of the universe indicating that we need to get rid of the old in order to embrace the new. We can typically feel the affects of an Eclipse for about 6 months, and changes can reach its peek up to 2 years after the Eclipse. For example: If a person loses his/her job during an Eclipse, their first feelings will include fear and desperation. After the shock, the person starts to seek alternative means to survival and that will develop their creativity, and ability to find good solutions. People discover hidden potentials during this search, and also have a chance to develop other professional talents. In 2 years this person will be in a better position, that is more profitable and satisfactory, and all of this would not have happened if this person had not lost his or her job.

The best way to deal with Eclipses is to accept what the universe sends our way. Be in synch with our inner-self, and especially, meditate and reflect about our life. Many times, Eclipses bring to surface certain dramas that awaken a side of our personality that was either sleeping, stagnated, or to revisit unbalanced areas in our life that are no longer part of our personal growth. We should not start a new business, make important decisions, or even open a business during an Eclipse.

According to ancient Astrologers, what is initiated during an Eclipse doesn’t move forward and never works. Marriage, new business, end of relationship, personal changes and other important events should be avoided during an Eclipse. We should create space in our life to welcome new energies and situations into our life. It is also important to observe everything very carefully. If your partner ends the relationship, keep in mind that this is because another more important person is about to enter your life. Be patient because the consequences and continuity of those events can occur in a period of 2 years.

A Lunar Eclipse occurs when the Earth position itself between the Moon and the Sun, covering the Moon’s light that is reflected by the Sun. When this happens, our reaction tends to be more emotional. During a Solar Eclipse, the Moon puts itself between the Earth and the Sun; this eventually cuts off the light from the Sun, and marks the beginning of something new in our life, it also marks the end, but the end that opens the door so other things can begin.

The first Eclipse will be a Lunar Eclipse on November 8 2003 at 8:20 PM (NY) at 16º Taurus. Lunar Eclipses are introspective and subttle, they bring to light everything hidden in the dark.

Since the Eclipse will be in Taurus it will bring out our stubborness , but also our persistence and determination. This Eclipse will be accompanied by some significant aspects. Neptune squares the Sun-Moon opposition, adding spirituality and forgiveness (or fantasy and confusion) to the mix. Then, there are two interlocking Grand Trines (harmonious patterns of the Sun, Mars and Saturn, and the Moon, Jupiter and Chiron, respectively). These form a six-pointed star (a Grand Sextile) in the sky and claim to be a harbinger of spiritual growth. Let's hope so.

Let us meditate, clean our souls of pains, psychological issues, childhood traumas and let’s welcome the Taurian energy, which will make us stronger and more estable in all aspects of our personality. It could be a day of remarkable insights.
This Eclipse might be healing problems that aroused during the May 15 , 2003 Lunar Eclipse at 24 Scorpio.
Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn and Scorpio will be the most influenced signs.

The second Eclipse willl be Solar Eclipse, which is stronger and consequent of the Lunar, on November 23 at 5:50 (NY) at 1º Sagitarius. Let us question our moral, philosophical and spiritual beliefs. Since Mercury will be squaring Mars it could bring conflicts between our beliefs and the beliefs of others, as well as international and religious conflicts. Unlike the Lunar, the Solar Eclipse will not be harmonius, it could, however, bring opportunities of growth and evolution if we reflect and adjust our philosophical and moral values.
All communication problems derived from the Solar Eclipse of May 30, 2003 at 9 Gemini could occur again. The most influenced signs will be Sagittarius, Aries, Leo and Gemini.
