Continuing through Spring 2013 Eclipse Season
We entered the Spring 2013 Eclipse Season with a partial Lunar Eclipse at our Full Moon in (sidereal) Libra on April 25th, the first of three eclipses in our Spring 2013 eclipse season.
Eclipses are portals.
We are at a major crossroads as we realign ourselves toward a new direction. Like a high-speed train, the eclipse portals take us from HERE to THERE. We end one major 6 month cycle of focused activity and are transported to a new time and place when we exit the portal two weeks or four weeks later.
Time in the portal can be a bit disorienting, but rest assured that a sense of equilibrium will be regained when we exit the portal and arrive at our new destination after the final Lunar eclipse in this series at the Full Moon in (sidereal) Scorpio on May 24th.
The Lunar Nodes moved from (sidereal) Scorpio into Libra on New Year’s Day 2013 and with the North Node currently in Libra we are being challenged to practice (or learn) the art of diplomacy and compromise through our significant partnerships and close relationships with others.
We are learning to be more sensitive to the needs of others and not just our own needs. Fostering cooperation and fairness are the keys to success now, with an emphasis on harmony, beauty and artistry.
With the South Node currently in Aries we are being challenged to let go of the forceful, aggressive, impulsive, warring qualities of Aries and learning to lead with the grace and power of Love.
Compromise and cooperation within our partnerships is integral to smoothly navigating this current series of eclipses.
The Uranus-Pluto Square
The dynamic energies of the Uranus-Pluto square are powerfully active once again this month, as we reach our third exact Square on May 20th.
Our First exact Square occurred in June of 2012 and our second occurred in mid September 2012.
This is a generational evolutionary cycle occurring and creating change in our lives and world between the years of 2012 - 2015 when we finally pull out of the cycle.
Our last series of Uranus-Pluto squares occurred in the mid 1930’s, this was a waning series of death and endings.
Uranus and Pluto met in the mid 1960’s planting a new seed of fused power and liberation as we began a new cycle and we are currently at a turning point in a waxing series of growth and change, kind of like a “First Quarter Moon”, but a lot more potent and evolutionary.
Individuality, innovation and changes are triggering internal struggles (with repressed emotions being stirred up beneath the surface) and external struggles (within the power/control dynamics that are set up in our lives).I
t is best for our own health and peace of mind to learn to better accept the inevitable changes that will be occurring within and without for the next few years (until 2015) when we move out of this current cycle.If we can learn to “go with the flow” and accept the individual choices of others around us and honor our own unique talents and expression then we can use this energy to make some really significant changes in our own lives and in the world around us.
Thoughts are becoming things at a rapidly accelerating pace and we are also being given the opportunity to release our old emotional baggage and ways of relating that hold us back and keep us in a cycle of “Reacting” as opposed to “Creating”.
It’s especially important now to take the focus and attention off of what we don’t want and clearly focus our time, energy and attention on what we do want.
In times of uncertainty it is a good idea to minimize the things that feed our fears, such as the endless opinions of others, too much social media, and passive programming. Take a break from the endless stream of news and information and do something healthy and life affirming each day to stay grounded and energized.
If we can quiet down the noise and distraction of all the other voices, we have a better opportunity to tune in to our own inner voice and feelings which provide the guidance towards the best way forward.
Daily exercise and physical activity (energy in motion) helps to keep our emotions flowing and floods our senses with elevated feelings of well-being that can help us make better decisions and help life feel more settled.
At the same time, there are people who are projecting blame onto others for what is being stirred up within and around them, so it’s important to know when the planetary energies are being triggered so you can make informed decisions about where to spend your time during particularly volatile periods.
I post updates every couple of days on Facebook and Twitter as the Moon changes signs or whenever my Muse comes calling and I feel inspired to connect and share. You can follow along and get a feel for the “emotional weather” that we will likely be experiencing during these transitions.
It may also be helpful to schedule a private session with me so I can help you to better understand the energies currently being activated in your life and assist you in making informed decisions relating to the best way forward in the month ahead.
Sending you wishes for an amazing month my friends.
With Love,
Andie
