Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, August 16, 2008

Full Moon in Aquarius reflections

  The lunar eclipse at the Full Moon this Saturday is the second of the pair of eclipses this month, with the Sun at 24°21′ Leo and the Moon at 24° 21′ Aquarius.

During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the Sun and Moon, and the Earth’s shadow falling on the Moon causes the eclipse. The qualities of the Moon are enhanced, and a lunar eclipse can allow us to get in touch with our subtle emotional motivations without the interference of the Sun’s brilliance.

The Full Moon in Aquarius is conjoined with Neptune, further emphasizing empathy and [...]

In fact, the overall compatibility between the two charts is strong with several intra-aspects (where the same planets aspect each other from both [...]

I was his shadow whenever he was around because he was fun. He and I both had/have our Suns at 29 degrees – his was in Leo and mine in Libra. And he had Jupiter in Leo too, widely conjunct his Sun/South Node. He was one of those rare individuals who always seemed to know how to have a good time and invite others to share [...]

Post Saturn in Leo . . . whew!! Now onto Saturn in Virgo – no worries, right?!

crocosmia & japanese ghost fern

Now that Saturn has moved on into Virgo and away from aspecting my Sun, I’m beginning to feel more like myself again. Saturn aspecting the Sun by transit always catches me off-guard with the weight and intensity he brings, no matter what the aspect is. This particular transit was also part of my Second Saturn Return. It took place in my 9th House and now that Saturn’s weight is starting to lift some of the effects are beginning to surface.

One thing in particular that occurred to me this morning is an awareness of the need to [...]
