This is just what we need, a new beginning at New Moon, except what we’re having is more fraught and strained than we might think anything new can be; arrives with a sense of historydespite its novelty: the event is a meeting of the Moon and the Sun at 29 Virgo 05 where they are part of a Comet that echoes the Comet present at the Full Moon on August 8, but this time, the Moon is involved in the configuration (it was not a few weeks ago). and The meeting of the Lights occurs in the maximum stressful degree. Of course, the August event was a scenario of conclusions, in the sense that we needed to find balance in the Aquarius/Leo/Self vs. axis. They, and discovering how to be ourselves, fully and without social distortions, affects our relationships, the groups to which we belong, and all those with whom we interact. Now, for the current solar eclipse, we are seeing the initial, generative energy, not in the bloody form of the end of a 9-month process, the delivery of a new but long-in-the-making project (which is much more like the energy of the Full Moon), but in the form of suddenly, almost magically, bringing something to life, than seems like air, but in reality it is the energetic material of the spiritual, mental, physical or emotional that results from the convergence of accumulated ‘threads’ of energy as they intertwine and become a ‘something’: conception, then, not birth. The difference is that a process is a new beginning, but only because another stage is ending; With this New Moon, something comes out of nowhere, or at least, they are ideas or events that come together to present us with a result that we could classify as “never before.”
There are a series of contacts made by the partial solar eclipse; I’ll list each one separately and then (try to) include them in the big picture. The basic energy of the New Moon is the Sun and Moon together at that final critical degree of Virgo, and they are broadly united with Mercury in Libra = the critiques, evaluations, reports, analyzes and comments we give and receive will be the conduits for the ‘message’ of the eclipse. The eclipse is also semisextile to Mars at 29 Libra = stress again! In relationships, in artistic endeavors, in associations, in relation to “the public.” It is notable that Mars was a component of the August Comet, but here it is less powerful, removed and subdued, suggesting that temperament and “I Am” will influence, but not drive, those eclipse communications. There is also a broad (for a quincunx) aspect of Chiron in Aries to the New Moon: this implies that we can be sensitive enough to our own wounds and those of others to be careful to avoid them, and promises that our interactions will be shared with a certain level of sensitivity (although there will be some who adjust in the opposite direction). with the intention hurt).
Then there is the kite. The base involves a Grand Trine where two of the placements, the Sun and the Moon, are on Earth, with Pluto, Uranus and Mercury in the Air. This describes a real-world material event that fuels communications, as well as inclinations toward innovation, spontaneity, change, and sharing of Truth. Through the center of the Comet passes a ‘backbone’, an opposition to the eclipse, to Saturn in Pisces-Neptune in Aries, with this combination sextile both Pluto and Uranus. I look at this and think about the “lift” this setting will give to the eclipse message. It will probably involve big themes, big changes, ideas and creative expression, even as we find ourselves trying to maintain balance, trying to combine the need for transformation in some area of life and the need to respond in the moment, open to that new and original thing that the eclipse promises.
Two factors in the Comet, Pluto sextile Neptune, act as the basis for a Finger of God with apex Venus in Virgo = this feels like a set of influences we can control, more so than what the eclipse presents. An acceptance of the heart of the matter, a willingness to change, even to change to the extremes, if necessary, can put the Higher Mind (Aquarius) at the service of the creative Will (Neptune in Aries) and result in positive aspects: rewards, rewards, Art or Love for the individual (Venus in Aries).
The Sabian of the eclipse is: “Fully determined to complete an immediate task, a man is deaf to any temptation.” This suggests that any message we receive will attract our full attention; That’s a good thing, in terms of our achievements, but possibly not so good if it means we miss the bigger picture. The key may be to never lose sight of the fact that there are other people in the world and that what we do affects them. A simple but important concept when we try to make the most of our own potentials, our own possibilities.
