Today is a big day in the world of astrology. It’s Eclipse time folks! A Solar Eclipse at 18 degrees of Virgo seems to have the astrological community up in arms with trepidation because of the erratic nature and potential of this Eclipse. You know what I say? Bring it on!
Sure, Uranus, the planet of surprises and sudden disruption is opposing the Eclipsed Moon, practically guaranteeing all of us can become emotional livewires over the events that are about to transpire. Sure, there’s also a tense square to an angry Mars in Gemini which won’t be afraid to communicate his wrath. And of course there’s the square to Jupiter in Sagittarius which will expand all the chaos into monstrous proportions. It sounds so cryptic doesn’t it?
Don’t let it scare you! This mutable grand cross configuration of the Eclipse spells one thing: change. If you can surrender to the changes that are about to transpire in your life then you’ll be ahead of the game. If, however, you’re someone with a lot of fixed planets then this might be a good time to pop a Valium so you can relax a bit. On second thought, you’d better not because then you’ll miss some fabulous opportunities that are coming your way while you’re too busy riding out the Eclipse in “la la land”.
Yes, I did say opportunities. Eclipses bring dramatic, life altering events to the table for us and while change is a sure bet, so is growth. Wherever this Eclipse falls in your natal chart will tell you where the opportunities will fall. They will be sudden and they will be able to change everything in a moment. That’s just the makeup of this Eclipse. But remember, when something in your life is removed it leaves more room for personal revolution. It’s time to embrace your Brave New World.
