Explosive Emotions and Collective Change. Lunar Eclipse Oct 17 2005 at 24 Aries

We complete 2005's Eclipse pair with the Lunar Eclipse, falling at 24 Degrees Aries on Oct 17.

Phew! As an Astrologer you're meant to pride yourself on being ahead of the game, mapping energy patterns and working out what is likely to transpire below us on Planet Earth.

This Eclipse is personal to me - my Natal Venus is at 24Aries along with my South Node (past lives). It will be interesting to see how this will all play out. I did get "into it" with someone today which I should have realized and backed out of, but with my Arian South Node and Venus, it seemed all too easy to fall into old (south node) aggressive (Aries) tendencies. Another lesson learned.

That's the key now for everyone. Aries isn't an easy going sign. With a Lunar Eclipse highlighting certain facets of our lives that need changing, these changes won't happen quietly. True, we may pass this Eclipse time as we have many times before, with nothing major on the planetary radar, but somehow I don't forsee this, at this time.

Before 2006 arrives, we're set for some major shifts. Emotions are about to be pulled, chains yanked, and drama used as a vehicle to manipulate the masses again. People are waking up, but more scheduled 'situations' are likely before the numbers of awakened souls reached that point when we'll be able to see through the shenanigans currently playing out.

Lunar Eclipses bring up emotions, old habits, past life issues, and childhood conditioning. What was then is now and it's back to be resolved. I guess since this is personal in my own Chart, I'm the spokesperson for this Change and I feel it quite profoundly and intensely inside.

Under this Eclipse I predict news of more weather shifts - possible fires, explosions, volcanic eruptions, road rage, widespread anger. The trouble is, Mars the planetary ruler of the Aries Eclipse, is Retrograde - making it doubly difficult to move energy outwardly in a healthy way.

Repression flares up and is expelled once Mars goes Direct on Dec 10. So I'm sure this may just well be a Red Christmas. And with Mars in the sign of the taurus, the Bull, a time of red rags and much charging.

Back to this Eclipse. Let it go For goodness sakes just let it go. Something is passing from your life. Wherever 24Aries falls in your Natal Chart is a place where you get another piece of the jigsaw. You'll get emotional over it, for a reason. Clue into that reason, for it's important. It's something to be dissolved, resolved, let go of, or wrapped up. Basically, if it's not happening in the next couple of months on that front, forget it. Sometimes we have no choice but to give in. Only then can we truly win.

People get erratic on Full Moons, but this Eclipse makes it all the more important to let things slide. Aries is fast - so speed kills, as we'll see in many news reports this week and within the next month. Energy, when misdirected causes a whole host of problems. In many ways, this Eclipse is like standing too close to the firework, or dropping a match in a fireworks shed. Basically, there's nothing you can do but get away, run for cover, and let it blow over!

Eileen Nauman has a splendid article on the best ways around this Eclipse, to work with it but escape unscathed - so check out the link on my website for more.

No matter what happens (or doesn't happen) we're cleansing, it's a planetary detox once more. Some things will be shed, some souls moving onto higher levels, and us folk down here will be asked to once more relinquish our hold on things that are no longer healthy for us.

How can you tell how bad an addiction is for you?Not by the effect it's having on your life, but on the aftermath of its passing. That's a clue on how this Eclipse works. Give it up willingly, or face a fight which may not loosen its grip for quite some time.

On the flip side, this is an amazing time to really set yourself free, to enjoy who you are, to be hyour own crazy self, to fly solo even if you're with someone, or to cherish the Moments we have - together or apart. It really doesn't matter. All good relationships have equal time together and apart - find yourself , then share what you find. It's a game of win-win and a team-effort at happiness.

My wish for this Eclipse, as the Moon sits on my South Node and Venus, is to remember all Past Loves we have all been lucky enough to have and hold, and to send Love to all who have crossed our paths, but then to look at who we are now, and to love the New Us, the new soul who is ready for new travels, new experiences, and new quests.

Be Aggressive in your pursuit of Peace and Comfort, but be peaceful in the face of aggression.

This is the way forward, while kissing goodbye to what is passing behind.

Drop me a note and let me know how it has been or is going for you!
Aries Eclipse Fireworks and Fun,
Neil
