Full Moon Eclipse in Pisces

“Great powers can flow into us as we empty ourselves of our false self concepts and attachments ; and these powers could help us in every way to heal our inner and outer worlds.” Andrew Harvey

Once when I was studying with a Wisdom School out west, I called the office on the day of an eclipse. The person who answered told me the staff had just left headed out to a special place in a nearby canyon to honor the time.

Throughout time eclipses have been observed as significant occurrences. Their influence can be felt in advance and after the eclipse itself. They represent evolutionary doorways.

With Chiron conjunct the Moon in Pisces in today’s eclipse it is a good time to look at issues of identity and self esteems  based  on the past, family of origin and ancestral inheritances. If you feel that these areas of your life are in need of an update, this eclipse provides good timing for it. It is a good time to let go of old baggage and set an intention to move in a more authentic and current direction.

Like my friends out west, the ancients would often invoke guidance or assistance from  “spiritus loci” – the spirit of the place – at significant times as they traveled along their spiritual path. If there is a place in nature that you feel embodies this type of energy for you, it is wise to visit it over the next few days.

Lunar Eclipse in Pisces

” The difficulties you will meet will resolve themselves as you advance. Proceed and the light will dawn and shine with increasing clarity on your path.” D’Alembert

The astrological weather this week is overshadowed by the Lunar Eclipse at 24 Pisces on Friday at 3:08 PM EDT. There are contentious aspects during this time – meaning it is likely tempers can be short, frustration can run high and confusion is in the air.

The Saturn/Neptune square which can indicate an inability to discern truth from fiction is still very much in play. Disillusionment can be about as well as a lack of clarity about the best way to proceed.

One of the Sabian symbols for this eclipse is, “The purging of the priesthood” which speaks of spiritual, ethical and moral accountability.  Another symbol is, “A flag at half mast in front of a public building.” This speaks of the need to recognize and grieve an ending of some sort.

The South Node is transiting with Neptune. With this aspect it is wise to look at and identify behaviors or beliefs which can or have blocked the path to your goals. The pull towards these kind of patterns is strong now and it is a good time to avoid them.

The Sabian symbols for the South Node/Neptune alignment is,”People traveling a narrow path seeking illumination.”
