Lunar Eclipse in Aries

“Proceed from the dream outward.” Carl Jung

We are heading into an active eclipse period now – the upcoming lunar eclipse is at 25 degrees of Aries on Tuesday April 15 at 25 degrees of Libra, followed by a solar eclipse in Taurus on April 29. Eclipses are evolutionary in nature and can be felt before as well as after the actual event.

There are very powerful energies at this time and it is wise to consider how you are going to implement them. We are at a crossroad and it is best to clarify what you need to take forward in your life and what needs to be left behind.

There are several significant Sabian symbols for the Lunar eclipse. One is, ‘The sight of an autumn leaf brings to a pilgrim the sudden revelation of the mystery of life and death.” This symbol is a reminder to look for the answers you are seeking in simple, everyday experiences. It is a caution to keep your perspective in the present and seek a deeper meaning rather than drawing on old ideas that have outgrown their usefulness.

Another symbol is, “A man possessed of more gifts than he can hold.” This symbol speaks of the need to clarify what is important to you in your life and to put aside strivings which may have been important once but no longer hold meaning.

Another is, “Through imagination a lost opportunity is regained.” Letting go of an old view of life or of situations and relationships that are not working can feel like a loss but it can also lead to regained strength, courage and renewed opportunities.
It is best to stay out of fear and stay in a place of clarity and deeper knowing.

Venus and Neptune

I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each

I do not think they will sing to me.

I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back.
When the wind blows the water white and black.

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.” TS Eliot

Venus is in Pisces now and approaching a conjunction to Neptune the lord of the sea (widely in influence through the 20th of the month.) The veils between the worlds are thin as a result and this transit provides a good time for the imagination, for creative growth and for spiritual growth. Many of TS Eliot’s significant poems are about his journey towards a higher vision and faith.
This is an unearthly transit and it bodes well to keep safe boundaries in place as a result. One of the Sabian symbols associated with this transit is, “Illuminated by a shaft of light, a large cross lies on rocks surrounded by sea and mist.” An Indian proverb speaks wisely of this – “Call on God, but steer away from the rocks.”
