These planets in Virgo will be angular over Los Angeles, so watch out for another earthquake this week, just in case. The fire risk will also be heightened at this time. These planets will also be angular over the Middle East, so we might be hearing similar news from there.
The lunar eclipse takes place on Saturday, August 16th at 2:16 pdt/5:16edt. While most of Asia, Europe, Africa and South America will see the eclipse, most of North America won't. But the energies are still in play.
Eclipses create change, resulting in endings and new beginnings. Sometimes we don't like the changes that occur, but since change is inevitable, it's always best to work consciously with the energies. Step into the change, dance with it, and you'll find you have some control over it.
Eclipses of the moon were traditionally viewed as a bad omen, causing irrational behavior (so it should be interesting to see how the Chinese deal with this on the closing day of the Olympics). But lunar eclipses aren't necessarily bad – it's all in how you meet it.
Solar eclipses usually govern leadership issues, more the outer, political landscape. Lunar eclipses are governed by the moon, so are more personal and emotional, governing the inner landscape. But since this eclipse is on the Leo/Aquarius axis, there will be interesting outer manifestations, since Aquarius rules the collective consciousness and Leo rules our individuality. The Leo/Aquarius axis relates to our contribution and participation in the collective consciousnss. What do you create that the collective needs?
Since the Moon is cut off from the Sun's light during a lunar eclipse, its lunar qualities stand out. Stronger emotions, irrational thoughts, repressed energies and deeper imagination might leap to the forefront of your day. You can also use the energy to go deeper into the collective unconscious as the seers of old did and ask for a vision of the future.
The Aquarius Moon usually is associated with distant, cool feelings, idealism, judgments, a liking for the strange and eccentric, a curiosity for the unusual or original ideas. Who knows what will get invented this week?! There's an urge for independence, which can cause a strain in relationships. If you aren't paying attention, those Virgo planets can start you worrying and then the pressure from the eclipse can make you more neurotic than usual. So remember, Breathe!
And then there's Neptune, which conjoins the Moon right before the eclipse. It can make everything more dreamlike, confused or even glamorous to your eyes. We've been talking about Neptune in Aquarius for over a year now, during it's opposition to Saturn in Leo. Neptune in Aquarius wants to enlarge our vision of the possible for the whole. It represents utopian ideals. But isn't it time to get rid of the limiting beliefs that tell us the world can never operate in a peaceful, cooperative, creative, fair way? (We know it can – there were peaceful civilizations before the patriarchal/ warrior takeover.) That worldly wisdom comes to us from . . . you guessed it! The patriarchal powers that continue to rule the world.
