I found this on aspects to an eclipse.

I thought this was pretty interesting.

Eclipses in Aspect to Natal Planets:
The Narrative of Change
by April Elliott Kent
Chances are, your birth chart contains at least one planetary configuration so dreadful that astrologers take one look and gasp: "How do you live with that?"
And you shrug. Because it's like having been born with blue eyes or red hair: that's the way it's always been for you, so you're pretty much used to it, much the way one gets used to a throbbing arthritic joint. A hypothetically awful aspect is your cross to bear, as Sister Rita used to say. But the very aspects that inspire terror in the casual observer are, potentially, your treasure.

Planets woven together by difficult aspects are as strong as steel. They represent problems you can't ignore, and conflicts that chew at you until you find a resolution - or at least détente. They describe your defining attributes; and each time an eclipse scores a glancing blow off these aspects (about every four and a half years), you're given another chance to become a little bit more … you.

So not even the most unpleasant natal aspect is inherently awful. And despite the unease they inspire, neither are eclipses. Some are part of a larger and more daunting planetary picture with global implications. Personally, however, we tend to experience eclipses most strongly when they form close aspects (especially conjunctions, squares, and oppositions) to planets in our birth chart. Each time an eclipse aspects one of the planetary crosses that you bear, a narrative of change emerges - one that is repeated over and over throughout your lifetime.

Unless an eclipse triggers these high-tension natal aspects, or falls very close to the cusps of the first, fourth, seventh, or tenth houses, you are likely to experience its influence as relatively subtle, like the flutter of a leaf in a chilling breeze. But let one of your more sensitive aspects get triggered, and it's the difference between a doctor checking your reflexes during an exam and hammering an arthritic knee.

Eclipse aspecting the natal Sun: If life is a movie, the Sun is the protagonist - however flawed - for whom we cheer. Each of us is born to be the hero of our own life story; but often, timidity or false modesty persuades us to hand over that role to others. When eclipses aspect your natal Sun, you are thrust into the starring role - and if you're not used to it, that can be uncomfortable.


Eclipses aspecting the natal Moon - From the moment we're ripped from mom's womb, we seek to reclaim the security and safety that we knew there. We feather our nests, stock the pantry with foods we like, and surround ourselves with people who make us feel comfortable. But when eclipses aspect the natal Moon, something - a new living situation, a change in health - may leave you feeling as exposed as a crab with her shell cracked open.


Eclipses aspecting Mercury: How do you define yourself? Usually, it begins with a name. Then, with your rank in the family pecking order, on the playground, in the workplace. Finally, numbers (grades in school, numbers on a paycheck) define you. When eclipses aspect natal Mercury, the god of definition, prepare for a change in your name, rank, or serial number - and for a change in how you define yourself.


Eclipses aspecting Venus: If only each of us were endowed with flawless confidence, great relationships, bountiful self-esteem, and oodles of cash! Eclipse aspects to Venus remind us that world will not always give us the treatment, whether kind or cruel, that we think we deserve.


Eclipses aspecting Mars: Mars is a trained, ruthless guard dog that answers only to you. He guards you and your home, defends your reputation, and helps you get all the cool things that you want. When eclipses aspect natal Mars, the watch dog is stirred up and straining at his leash; get what's yours, but don't let anyone get hurt.


Eclipses aspecting Jupiter: When was the last time you had an adventure? When eclipses aspect Jupiter, you're itching to take a chance, to feel the thrill of being completely alive. These can be times when you overreach out of sheer optimism; but they are also moments when your life jumps tracks and starts moving in a new direction.


Eclipses aspecting Saturn: When eclipses aspect Saturn, you may feel worn out and discouraged. Probably, you've outgrown your life or are playing by outdated rules. But you'll never get anywhere by blaming others for your problems. Regardless of how things got this way, what are you going to do to make your life better?


Eclipses aspecting Uranus: When eclipses aspect Uranus, you may feel like a misfit - and that can hurt. Recognizing who your friends are (and aren't), and looking for a tribe that lets you be yourself, is the challenge of these eclipses.


Eclipses aspecting Neptune: These eclipses compel you to examine your blind spots, question your faith, and dispute what you previously thought was indisputable. If you've been fooling yourself - like a wife who ignores the signs that her husband has strayed, or the man who is disillusioned by his womanizing guru - these eclipses can deliver a wakeup call.


Eclipses aspecting Pluto: In each of us, there is a dark side. There are feelings that are unworthy of us - rage, jealousy, fear, covetousness. They weaken us, making us slaves to our emotions and to people who are more self-possessed. When eclipses aspect Pluto, we meet that dark self and the others who embody it for us, grappling with power and the need for control.

Thank you for the info, joyrjw!

Hope everyone got through last week's eclipse ok. I feel like I could have done more to ride the wave of change an Eclipse brings.. in my relationship, in particular. It happened in the 7th/1st house axis of both me and my love. I'm so ready to take the next step, and I think he may be too.. I wish I'd talked to him last weekend when he was visiting.. But then, the effects may last a little while, so perhaps I can still do something.

The next one's coming on June 14th.. a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse. I'll be back with more information here.

Quoted from http://www.astrologycom.com/eclipse.html

Total Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius on June 15th, 2011

"A total lunar eclipse on June 15th, 2011 occurs at 24°23' Sagittarius, a Mutable sign, with the Sun in Gemini, another Mutable sign (remember, the Sun and Moon are always opposed at a lunar eclipse, since it's a Full Moon). This magnificent spectacle will be the first lunar eclipse of 2011, a powerful total eclipse that occurs at the Moon's ascending node in the southern part of the constellation Ophiuchus, the Serpent Bearer, about 7° west of the Lagoon Nebula (M8), a cluster of stars on the Bow of the Archer. It's a lengthy eclipse, with the total phase itself lasting 100 minutes. The last eclipse to beat it was way back in July 2000!

Here's how it runs:

•Penumbral Eclipse Begins: 17:24:34 UT
•Partial Eclipse Begins: 18:22:56 UT
•Total Eclipse Begins: 19:22:30 UT
•Greatest Eclipse: 20:12:37 UT
•Total Eclipse Ends: 21:02:42 UT
•Partial Eclipse Ends: 22:02:15 UT
•Penumbral Eclipse Ends: 23:00:45 UT

The entire cosmic event will be visible from the eastern half of Africa, the Middle East, central Asia and western Australia. Observers throughout Europe will miss the early stages of the eclipse, because they occur before moonrise. Fortunately, totality will be seen throughout the continent except for northern Scotland and northern Scandinavia. Eastern Asia, eastern Australia, and New Zealand will miss the last stages of eclipse because they occur after moonset, but the total phase will be seen from most of these regions. Observers in eastern Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina will witness totality, but none of the eclipse will be visible from North America. At mid-eclipse, the Moon is near the zenith for observers from Reunion and Mauritius, off the eastern coast of Madagascar, in the Indian Ocean.

When the Moon is completely immersed within the Earth's dark umbral shadow, scientists call this totality. During this eclipse, totality will last just over 100 minutes—longer than any total lunar eclipse since July 16th, 2000, which lasted for 107 minutes (close to the maximum possible duration). After the total phase ends, we will see a partial eclipse as the Moon gradually leaves the umbral shadow. To view NASA's graphic illustration of the Moon's path through Earth's shadows, as well as Fred Espenak's map illustrating worldwide visibility, click here!

Eclipse in Sagittarius

Mercury, Lord of Communication, is combust (i.e. "burnt" by a close conjunction with the Sun) in Gemini and opposed by a warlike Sagittarian Moon. The Gemini Sun is ruled by Mercury, so communication now is hardly likely to bring much emotional satisfaction. Be prepared to confront opinions and ideas that run counter to your feelings. Getting things to run smoothly is not easy, and a change of heart can bring things to a halt. Schedules run into conflict. People and situations block our progress at every turn, literally or figuratively. Mercury is also square Ceres (the Great Mother and harbinger of loss) and Uranus (disruption; catastrophe), so sudden or unexpected losses and disruptions are in the wind. Things easily get out of sync, especially considering that Merc is conjunct the ominously red star Betelgeuse, in the shoulder of Orion, the Hunter. Hindu astrologers say that this star is ruled by the god Rudra, the Destroyer, and creates storms and bad weather, not to mention war and carnage. Well that would be right! This star here can bring inconstant thinking and is subject to accidents, punishment, torture, imprisonment, and even exorcism! Gosh. As we saw under the solar eclipse of June 1, Orion is considered by the Cabbalists to be associated with the first Tarot Trump, The Magician, and the Hebrew letter Aleph. This is a card of Mercury: charismatic, inventive and scientific—revealer of truth. Why is Mercury important in this figure? Well, it's the planetary ruler of Gemini, and it's in a tight trine with the US Moon (that's good!), as well as opposing the Moon in the eclipse and combust (that's bad...). Mixed messages then, but not so mixed when we see that it's inconjunct by quincunx to the US Pluto, warning that mixed messages could lead to big trouble!

In addition to the stress inherent in the Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse—the Sun (leadership; true self) versus the Moon (the masses; emotional personality)—we see a mirror image of the previous lunar eclipse of Dec 2010. The Sun and Moon in particular are again on very unfortunate stars. The Sun is conjunct Al Hecka, the southern horn of the Bull, and the Moon conjunct Lesath and Shaula, the Scorpion's Sting, as well as the south node. According to Robson, Scorpio is associated with the Hebrew letter Oin and the 16th Tarot Trump, The Lightning-Struck Tower. Mars the Warrior rules Scorpio, and the Tower is a card about war, a war between the structures of lies and the lightning flash of truth. As Thirteen says, "this is a card about anything we believe to be true, but later learn is false. This realization usually comes as a shock, hence, the violent image. It is, quite simply, that moment in any story where someone finds out a shocking truth, one that shatters their perceptions and makes them reassess their beliefs". In fact, structures will fall and personal integrity will be threatened. We must remain focused after a rude awakening on rebuilding our personal strengths, remaining connected with the divine, the inner nature that shows us what we need, rather than being blinded by what we want. In the event that we are not connected with this inner lifeline, we will be forced to create a connection, or be crushed under the rubble.

This sounds a bit scary, but when we look deeper we can see that there's more to come. Aggressive Mars, the traditional planetary Lord of Scorpio, is under severe pressure from the eclipse Moon and is right on top of the truly evil star, Caput Algol, the Demon's Head. Algol is considered the most problematic cosmic influence of them all. Located at the 27th degree of Taurus, in the head of the Gorgon, Medusa (which has just been severed by the hero Perseus), Algol is a visibly eclipsing binary star that is associated with horrific events affecting large numbers of people, especially events caused by major meteorological phenomena. Of the nature of Saturn (restriction; sorrow; death; the common people) and Jupiter (expansion; overconfidence; recklessness; ruling classes) it brings misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, mob violence, and violent death. And Mars at the eclipse is square the US Moon and semi-square the US Sun. When we see that eclipse Saturn is square the US Sun and sesqui-square the US Moon, while eclipse Pluto opposes the US Sun, Jupiter and Venus, and eclipse Uranus squares US Jupiter and Venus, how much more hostile can you get?

I could go on, but that's more than enough. It's very much the expression of the cosmic pressure to change ourselves and society that has been at work since 2007, as those among you who have been following the articles on this site would already be aware (if just watching the news is not sufficient!). It's a black picture, but one that has some positive aspects. Algol can also be associated with great creativity, for out of suffering can come enlightenment, but this time I would not hold my breath. However, despite the remaining outpourings of the cosmic Grand Cross in Cardinal Signs discussed in earlier articles, Jupiter by now has moved out of the equation into Taurus (Jupiter entered Taurus on June 4, 2011), forming a trine aspect to eclipse Pluto, and aiding the Moon, but also forming a nice aspect to the upcoming solar eclipse on July 1, 2011. Eclipse Mars is in lucky sextile aspect to eclipse Ceres, but I'm not sure how much good that will bring, as Ceres is always prominent in disaster charts, and it may simply mean that less children are done away with than might otherwise be the case. Since Ceres is in a tight T-square to the Sun and Moon at the eclipse, it would be best to prepare for the worst.

Each of us will experience these stresses according to where the eclipse falls in our own charts. The Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces) will take the brunt, especially if you were born late in the sign. Even though this eclipse and its associated aspects are quite brutal, we can still take positive steps to reduce the stress.

There is another Solar Eclipse due on July 1, 2011, but it again is a minor one, being seen probably by no more than a few penguins at the South Pole. However, it does have some significance and I will write more on this topic here in days to come. In the meantime, count your blessings and sail a tight ship."

I just had my solar return on June 2nd and you guessed it... solar return is exactly 11 degrees gemini for additional fun I have ceres at 9 degrees canger.... I have read up a bit on the stars since 17ish...I am far from a pro. I have been in a living nightmare of late and I'm going to be losing my childhood home soon among other issues.

The June 15 eclipse hits my solar 2nd house .. seeing that this affects the 2nd and 8th houses.. funny that my tax BILL (not return!) is due on that day. Interesting indeed! It's quite a large sum of money too. Susan Miller predicted this would happen for Taureans!!

Nothing much happened on the 1st June eclipse except buying a house on the 4th June.. (new beginnings!?) that eclipse occured in my FOURTH house.
The 15 June eclipse falls in my Fifth/Eleventh houses. Am interested to see what happens...

Anemone,

Joyrjw had posted this above; this is how your Sun is affected:

"Eclipse aspecting the natal Sun: If life is a movie, the Sun is the protagonist - however flawed - for whom we cheer. Each of us is born to be the hero of our own life story; but often, timidity or false modesty persuades us to hand over that role to others. When eclipses aspect your natal Sun, you are thrust into the starring role - and if you're not used to it, that can be uncomfortable."

Ms Candeh, sounds pretty apt that you bought a house when the solar eclipse touched your natal 4th house, given that it rules the home! I wonder if the fifth house will have anything to do with children for you, or perhaps creative projects, or perhaps bring an exciting new relationship.. Here's what the Cafe Astrology site says:

"If this eclipse stimulates your 5th-11th house axis, social activity is the focus. The need to be appreciated by others, and the need for togetherness with others, comes into play. A love affair may begin or end under this influence. New contacts with others may also occur. If 11 Gemini is in the fifth, you will learn to let go of a fear of taking risks, and to develop the courage to strike out on your own individual and creative path without fear. You are called upon to deal with others in a more personal, involved, and loving manner, rather than falling back on reason and intellect, which detaches you from your feelings. This series of eclipses is about learning to take personal risks, which requires a certain amount of self-confidence. If 11 Gemini is in the eleventh, you will be learning about letting go of your attachment to the drama of romance and personal relationships, as well as your willfulness. You are called upon to learn about the value of the team. You may need to give freedom to your romantic partner instead of expecting him or her to follow a script of your own making. You learn the value of brotherly love and the benefits of a sense of belonging to a community. Events are such that you move towards a more objective approach to your life and you cultivate true friendships."

Can anybody give insight on how one would be affected when the eclipse is exactly conjunct one's north and south node?

My North Node is at 24 deg Gemini (8th house)
South Node at 24 deg Sag (2nd house)

also Vertex at 21 deg Gemini and
Neptune at 26 deg Sag

cooljen,

Sorry I missed this before, but I think MertSerimer was just being funny.

Eclipses in general bring about much change. Having eclipses conjunct your nodal axis probably means that the changes they will bring into your life are in line with your life purpose. Events may seem all the more poignant for you, and have far-reaching effects. Having the eclipse on your nodes does not inherently mean something terrible is about to happen. Your Vertex close to the Eclipse also means the same thing as the Nodes. As for Neptune conjunct (wide orb though it is) the Eclipse, I found this on the top of this page:

"Eclipses aspecting Neptune: These eclipses compel you to examine your blind spots, question your faith, and dispute what you previously thought was indisputable. If you've been fooling yourself - like a wife who ignores the signs that her husband has strayed, or the man who is disillusioned by his womanizing guru - these eclipses can deliver a wakeup call."

Hope this helps,
Sunshine

Here are some more general info about the eclipses, i think it's quite good.
http://www.astrologyzone.com/forecasts/eclipse.html

The following will give you points consider when you are preparing for an eclipse. First however, let?s define two terms: the solar eclipse and the lunar eclipse.

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon stands between the Sun and Earth, cutting off the light of the Sun. A solar eclipse is always a new moon, and tends to mark new beginnings.

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth stands between the Moon and the Sun, cutting off the light of the Sun from the moon. A lunar eclipse is always a full moon and usually marks endings or culmination points.

Now let?s review the points to keep in mind about eclipses so that you can better deal with them should any touch you in an unexpected way.

1. Eclipses are dramatic "wild cards" in our horoscopes. They shake us up so that we can move from one level of evolution and maturity to another, higher phase, fairly rapidly.

2. Eclipses bring news of life's big events: a birth of a baby, a marriage, a promotion or career breakthrough, important travel, the signing of a vital business deal, the start of one?s own business, the sale or purchase of a house, a cross country move, the acquisition of a family pet (or loss of one), surgery or see an important health development, college graduation (or the eclipse may mark the start of study), divorce, publishing a book, and so forth. Monumental meetings and breakups or changes on one?s job are also common on eclipse dates. No matter what occurs, it will become evident that the universe is intent on moving you forward.

3. Events that follow an eclipse have more weight than events brought on by a normal new or full moon. In fact, an eclipse is like a turbo-new or full moon?qit packs much more energy and punch. An eclipse may even bring on an event that seems "fated". Eclipses always bring unexpected changes of direction if you have a planet that will be touched. The eclipse does not have to fall in your sign to affect you. (Check your individual forecast to find out more.)

4. If an eclipse falls on your birthday, the year that follows certainly will be quite eventful. You may experience a big change in lifestyle or in one specific part of your chart.

5. Guard your health if you are having an eclipse on your birthday, near your birthday, or on your rising sign degrees because you will be a bit more run down than usual.

6. Take any message you hear at the time of an eclipse seriously. There usually is no way to get a situation reversed. If someone brings news you don?t like on an eclipse realize that there is little chance you can get it reversed, at least not for four months, if ever. See the news as essentially a non-negotiable decision and try to move on.

7. Eclipses shine the bright light of truth to the part of your life that is touched by the eclipse. Most of the time, eclipses act as brilliant illuminators, revealing a condition that you were unaware existed. They can also act as catalysts to a major life decision. Also under an eclipse, you may finally understand the true character of a person near you.

Imagine that a puzzle piece fell out of the sky into your hands. This new piece of information, when added to the overall picture of your puzzle, will change your understanding of it and bring you a flash of insight. You may say to yourself, "For the first time, I understand!" Now you have a full picture of the situation and can make a fuller, more realistic appraisal of what that it means to you, and what you must do next. You will gain maturity and seasoning.

8. Even if an eclipse won't affect you (and I will tell you in your forecast), you will nevertheless notice that there is plenty of action around you, not only in your own circle but also in the world at large. The news media will be filled with information.

In your personal life, you will hear of many monumental life events (the kind we listed earlier in #2) in the lives of people you know, both friends and family. You may be called on to help others at this time, so try to keep your schedule light. There is a feeling of life moving on speedily, fast forward, of great acceleration.

9. With all eclipses, something ends and something else begins. During an eclipse period, you may feel like you are walking across a bridge to a brand new place, with no turning back from where you started. The door behind you latches, and locks. You can?t go back because after the eclipse you will know more and understand things that were never clear to you before. In that sense, you really can?t go home again.

10. Try not to issue ultimatums or make big actions under an eclipse. Bide your time and act in a few weeks when there will be less static in the air. It?s best to respond to others? messages but try not to initiate your own. Said another way, it is better to listen than to act.

Let?s say you need to sign a contract?qthat is OK to do if you are presented with one at eclipse time. You didn?t initiate that contract?qsomeone else did. However, let?s say you want to have a major talk with your boyfriend or girlfriend because you are unhappy. Do so later, well after the eclipse.

The first is an action someone else is asking you to respond to (good) but the latter is an action you chose to take under the eclipse (not so good). The ancients always wrote that if you act under an eclipse, the plan would not work out quite the way you expected. That?s why it?s better to consider the ideas of others at eclipse time but not to make proposals or decisions of your own at that time.

11. You may be feeling more emotional than usual under an eclipse, especially if the eclipse is lunar (full moon). Since your judgment may be impaired or pieces of information missing, try to get as much time as you can to think about what you heard. If you can, wait a week's time before deciding. If someone comes to you with a proposal, consider it carefully. If after looking at it from all sides and you like it, proceed.

12. A quick response to news generated by the eclipse?qoften quite out of the blue---may be required. Have your wits about you! As said earlier, keep your normal schedule light as you might have something new to focus on that will need your immediate attention.

13. Don?t be too quick to judge an eclipse as ?goodO?L or ?badO?L?qeclipses may act suddenly but it takes weeks to understand their real meaning. If you should suffer under an eclipse, consider that sometimes the universe had something better for you in mind. Be patient and keep an open mind.

14. Eclipses can help you do things you never thought you could do. You may be offered a chance to write a book or to record an album, for example. Eclipses sometimes will open a door?qone that was previously impossible to enter.

15. Eclipses play with our sense of time. They bring events that you assumed were months or years away, to your doorstep now. Here is an example of how an eclipse often works:

You are riding a horse in unfamiliar, beautiful terrain. You were told that you would have to jump a tall stone fence (a substantial obstacle or big-deal project) five miles down the road (later in life). Distracted by the scenery (life) you forget about the fence, until it looms suddenly in front of you. You don't feel ready to jump (take a risk). You cannot imagine going over that fence and surviving! This is a big stretch for you! Yet, it symbolizes something you want to do, so you feel conflicted (fear vs. wanting). Perhaps you momentarily panic or try to stop. However, the horse (your inner power) has been trained to jump and before you can pull on the reigns, you find yourself flying through the air. The horse is doing it for you. You land perfectly. The horse is fine and so are you--but you feel Shaky.

It all happened so quickly! You knew the fence was coming up, but being distracted by the scenery (everyday life), you didn't expect it so soon. Now, however, you feel quite accomplished--proud of what you did, and rightly so! Had it not happened without time to think, you may not have had the courage to try. This, dear reader, is the feeling brought on by an eclipse.

16. A word on the timing of an eclipse. A message brought to you by an eclipse is usually delivered within four days of the actual date of the eclipse, but not always. Yet you can sometimes feel a full moon lunar eclipse as early as two weeks prior to it or up to six months later when another planet is needed to trigger the news. (Most likely however, news will occur either at the eclipse or a month to the day later, plus or minus four day--that is your zone to watch if things don't happen immediately).

17. Take notice of ALL news and signals you get near the eclipses. While often news is delivered in a dramatic and obvious way, sometimes the news will come in much more subtly, as a secret or as a piece of gossip. Nevertheless it will foretell dramatic changes to come.

18. Solar eclipses work somewhat differently than lunar eclipses, and emphasize beginnings. (Something may also be ending but the attention is more on the start than the finish.) The changes could phase in over a period of months. Still, the news or timing of those changes often comes as a surprise. If a solar eclipse falls on or within a few days of your birthday you will certainly feel the effects of it over the course of the year. Changes will be complete by the time you reach your next birthday.

I hope you have found this helpful! Perhaps you may want to refer to this list as you move through the eclipses of this year.

Hope everyone got through last week's eclipse ok. I feel like I could have done more to ride the wave of change an Eclipse brings.. in my relationship, in particular. It happened in the 7th/1st house axis of both me and my love. I'm so ready to take the next step, and I think he may be too.. I wish I'd talked to him last weekend when he was visiting.. But then, the effects may last a little while, so perhaps I can still do something.

The next one's coming on June 14th.. a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse. I'll be back with more information here.

On June 15 the Eclipse will be conjunct my 6th house Neptune in Sagittarius square my N. Moon 3rd house trine my N. Saturn 2nd house sextile N. Pluto 4th

I believe I can feel all of these already, except for the pluto aspect.

Eclipses aspecting Neptune: These eclipses compel you to examine your blind spots, question your faith, and dispute what you previously thought was indisputable. If you've been fooling yourself - like a wife who ignores the signs that her husband has strayed, or the man who is disillusioned by his womanizing guru - these eclipses can deliver a wakeup call.


Eclipses aspecting Saturn: When eclipses aspect Saturn, you may feel worn out and discouraged. Probably, you've outgrown your life or are playing by outdated rules. But you'll never get anywhere by blaming others for your problems. Regardless of how things got this way, what are you going to do to make your life better?


Eclipses aspecting Pluto: In each of us, there is a dark side. There are feelings that are unworthy of us - rage, jealousy, fear, covetousness. They weaken us, making us slaves to our emotions and to people who are more self-possessed. When eclipses aspect Pluto, we meet that dark self and the others who embody it for us, grappling with power and the need for control.


Eclipses aspecting the natal Moon - From the moment we're ripped from mom's womb, we seek to reclaim the security and safety that we knew there. We feather our nests, stock the pantry with foods we like, and surround ourselves with people who make us feel comfortable. But when eclipses aspect the natal Moon, something - a new living situation, a change in health - may leave you feeling as exposed as a crab with her shell cracked open.

Thanks for all the info everyone has posted

Has anyone else been feeling out of sorts/yucky on the lead up to this eclipse?

It falls 1 degree into my 5th/11th houses.. no other major aspects except a trine/sextile to my ASC by 2 deg and I'm not sure if that is even considered with an eclipse as it is nothing within the degree? I have no idea what this means

This is the first time I have been afraid of an Eclipse. Check this out:

My natal basics:
ASC - 23'Gemini
Des/7th house cusp - 23'Sag
Neptune/6th house - 19'Sag
Sun/6th house - 10'Sag

Current Planets of significance/Eclipse:
Sun-23'Gem
Total Lunar Eclipse(full moon)-24'SAG/GEM
True Node-23'Sag
Mercury-26'Gem

This means that the Eclipse hits my ASC/DESC Axis by a 1'conjunction, and the Nodal axis hits my ASC/DESC axis by a 0'conjunction.
So...
Mercury conj Sun--conj my ASC
Moon conj True Node--conj natal Neptune&DES

I'm feeling this hard.

The lunar eclipse is opposing my Moon/Chiron conjunction in the 9th.

Just like someone who posted earlier, I'm getting kicked out of my childhood home (which my sister has just acquired from my parents) as well. I'm a college student with one more semester to go. Today, I was informed (not by her) that she wants me to pay rent or leave. So, I'm leaving. I feel very betrayed.

Also, I went through a breakup a few weeks ago, which I was completely fine with at the time, but today was just absolutely terrible, and I've been terribly moody and upset and bawling. I haven't been this down in a long time.

I'd love to hear how this eclipse is affecting everyone else if you don't mind sharing.

wooow, i had terrible dreams this morning. it wasn't particularly worse than other nightmares, but it featured all the fears i developed in the last 2+ years based on my experience during this time. fear of being taken advantage of, being used, being misunderstood, losing the place to live, people invading personal boundaries, being deceived, and lastly, the statue phobia!

in short, my dream was being out naked, and find out from my vague partner that we actually had been evicted without my knowledge. a friend forced us to go to a party to cheer up, we got on a taxi with a bunch of scenester tourists (who are taking over the old hood here in reality) who turned out to be expecting us to pay the taxi, then ending up feeling totally lost and helpless at someone's huge house party where i had to stand by a wall, and still naked, next to a statue. lol!

eclipse is of course on my Sun and around it there are some important planets.i'm expecting a big transforming effect from it, well i hope!
