Relationship Shuffle - Eclipses Spring 2012

May 20th and June 4th, 2012. It's that time of the year again! Eclipses occur twice a year and usually come in pairs. Our upcoming eclipses, consisting of an annular solar eclipse in Gemini and a partial lunar eclipse in Sagittarius, will be rather mild compared to previous ecliptic events. Eclipses bring changes. Even though our eclipses may be mild, there will be other stellar events, including Venus' retrograde and an outer planet square, that could amplify these changes. Because these eclipses will be occurring during Venus' retrograde, relationships and finances may suffer.

Many believe that eclipse energy is 10 times more powerful than a normal full or new moon. Some practitioners of magic set aside eclipse time to cleanse their tools and cast their spells. Full moon lunar eclipses are a very good time for banishing and cleansing away negative energy. New moon solar eclipses can help in manifesting desires. It's an excellent time to ask the universe for what you need.

Our eclipse on May 20th will be a New Moon solar eclipse in Gemini, on the cusp between Taurus and Gemini. With Venus turning retrograde in their sign only 5 days earlier, those with dominate Gemini in their charts will probably feel the brunt of this eclipse. There could also be upsets for Pisces with the eclipse squaring off with Neptune. This eclipse will be at 0 degrees 21 minutes, and Gemini's at 0 degrees really love change. In general, our lives could get very scattered around this time. Don't sign any contracts or make any life changing decisions until the effects of this eclipse has passed. Also, avoid euphoric substances, or Neptune may encourage you to "drink yourself into the gutter."

The eclipse on June 4th could create even more problems. It will reside at 14 degrees 8 minutes in Sagittarius. Being a lunar eclipse, it will occur when the Moon opposes the Sun, and this opposition will generate a T-square with Mars and Venus. With the Sun and Moon in Gemini and Sagittarius (two signs not known for being faithful), and because Venus will be doing her retrograde thing, this fight with Mars could bring major relationship upsets, especially for Gemini, Virgo, and Sagittarius. We may be tempted to stray from our commitments. For some of us, this will turn out to be a personal test of our willpower (brains versus hormones). For others, we could be dealing with disappointments.

How will these eclipses affect you? First off look to see what houses they will occupy in your chart. Then look to see if they will aspect any of your planets or power points. If you have any planets between 28 and 2 degrees in any sign, they will probably be aspected by the solar eclipse on May 20th. If you have any planets between 12 and 16 degrees, they will probably be aspected by the lunar eclipse on June 4th. Also take a look at the number of planets and power points you have in each quality (cardinal, fixed, or mutable) in your natal chart. If you have a majority of cardinal planets in your personality, the eclipse energy will most likely influence you before the actual event (even 2 to 3 weeks before the eclipse). If you have a dominance of mutable planets, you are more likely to feel the eclipse energy the week of the eclipse. If you have more fixed planets, the eclipses may have a delayed reaction for you (up to 2 weeks after). If you want to know more, with your natal chart in hand, contact your favorite astrologer. It's the best way to learn astrology.

The next pair of eclipses will come in November 2012, and Scorpions get ready! We have a total solar eclipse erupting in your sign. Check back in October to find out more.

Uranian Astrology Forcast for the Beginning of Spring

I want to wish my readers a Happy Passover and or a Happy Easter. Mercury is now direct and I am late again... astrology to blame! First Mercury stationed to go direct April 3rd and 4th. Now on the 6th of April, I am preparing myself to go to a Passover Seder and since the first Seder night falls on the Sabbath we won't eat till midnight.

Enough about me now back to the astrological aspects.

Happy full Moon semi-squaring Neptune, it is a good thing that the stock market are closed today, because if it were open there would have been some bad deals made.

On the positive side many of you will be relaxing and enjoying a long holiday weekend as Jupiter will be on the cardinal axis. Its semi-square to Hades will have many of you will be dealing with old traditional holiday rites and ceremonies. On April 9th Mercury will be 22 ½ to Neptune, I do not think much work will be done on that day, but there will be many mistakes made if you are not careful due the Mercury Neptune. Then on the 10th Pluto will station retrograde and the mistakes made during the Mercury retrograde period will begin to come to light. Especially since Saturn will be at the midpoint of Jupiter and Uranus. On the 9th and 10th Venus will be semi-squaring the Sun, optimism will rule the day and the market could most like go up.

Late afternoon of the 10th and all day of the 11th Jupiter + Hades = the Sun, there could be big financial losses so be very careful how you handle your money, remember the IRS is looking for their pound of flesh. On the 12th Venus will be at the midpoint of Jupiter and Hades, look at what you think is garbage but you could discover some old relic you were ready to discard may be worth some money. It could be a good day to visit some flea markets and come away with something better than fleas as Jupiter will be midpoint Sun and Venus plus Mercury and Uranus. Mercury + Uranus = Jupiter could suddenly bring some very good news.

Next we move on to Friday the 13th, Mars will be stationing to go direct 22 ½ to Mercury, walk away from confrontations, for at the same time Vulcanus will be at the midpoint of Sun and Saturn. There could be deadly road rage or major eruptions due to frustrating situations. It will be a good day to hide ones head in the sand. On the 14th Uranus + Hades = Sun, this is a good day to have an astrology reading and/or have an astrology lesson. On the other hand it is a day to stay in bed with your head under the covers because this combo could produce some very nasty events in the world as Hades is on the cardinal axis.
