You survived the eclipse. Now what?
Eclipses aren’t just dramarama high intensity blog posts written to drive traffic to blog posts 😉 Shit actually happens. I have clients who got direct hits to their natals. Remember though that the story hasn’t been told yet. Not the full story. I’m in danger of forgetting this too. We’re not even in Chapter One. Maybe the table of contents. And it’s not all scary bad, but it is change.
This afternoon the Venus Mars sextile is exact which should make for a pleasant enough day although the Moon void-of-course in Gemini could leave you feeling out of focus or unambitious. Don’t worry and don’t make promises that you actually want to keep.
This weekend we have only one exact aspect, not including what the Moon will do, but consider the Sun in Sagittarius opposite Jupiter in Gemini to be your weekend backdrop.
You may feel the desire to expand in all kinds of directions, out of a sense of self-assertion, what’s best for you, and not unhappily. If the Sun is your ego and Jupiter makes things big, you may feel sick of leading such a small life as you have been, serving others instead of yourself. Jupiter in Gemini = options. Roam if you want to.
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday: Moon in Cancer, with Sunday the Moon being void-of-course all day.
Moon in Cancer is a handful, a sensitive defensive Moon. I know the Moon rules Cancer and traditionally the Moon is supposed to work well in Cancer due to this reason but in my experience… Oh never mind 😉
Friday: the Moon in Cancer trines Neptune (compassionate, intuitive!), and later on squares Uranus (impulsive!) and trines Saturn (stability!).
And if you’re a smart cookie, you can see what’s happening here. Your moods may shift as the Moon makes these different aspects. I have my Sun in Cancer (and Mercury and Mars) so I am used to a mood a minute. Yes it could feel like that 🙂
Saturday: Moon opposes Pluto (crisis?) and then opposes Mars (do keep calm). By the time the Moon trines Venus, the zombies will no longer be able to eat you and all will be well. Well… except for the zombie corpses in the yard. Ew. Clean that shit up.
Sunday: Moon trines Mercury (cooperation!) and then Sunday night the Sun opposes Jupiter: your big life over there in the distance, waving at you. Did the eclipse give you any clues?

Before I sign off for the moment, here’s a question that’s been on my mind, for the marrieds, the singles, and everyone in between, since we’re talking about the Moon here: what is your primary relationship need?
The Moon rules our needs, what makes us feel safe and secure. The Moon also has to do with our habits and reactions. What do you need most in friendship? In loveship? Have you found yourself having to choose one part of yourself over other parts? Because of your primary need? What do you think it’s based on? Or maybe you have it all?
Your thoughts?

I think I’ve been too self-absorbed lately, thinking about my own security needs. So, my primary relationship needs me to take the focus off myself and remember I’m part of a team. For real. Self absorbed Taurus Stellium in 5th;)
Maybe there was something you needed to focus on…
*”…I must seem like a neurotic control freak, but in reality, …”
First off I can relate to the mood a minute. I have Moon in Virgo/conj. Pluto at the top of my chart. I must seem like a neurotic control freak I am quite sensitive. I am not OCD but I find myself feeling irritated if things are a mess on my desk too! So that is a big need for me. To feel organized. Otherwise I just cannot function. Organization = security in my world.
What do I need in Friendship and Loveship? A willingness to be open and share, explore and go deep. Also dependability. If you say you are going to be somewhere at a certain time, please be there. I can wait, but I will start to feel worried. If I invite you to my home, please be on time. I understand things happen, but if it becomes a habit, I will feel you are showing me disrespect. And must like good food! : ) Have a good sense of humor and love animals.
Do I find myself having to give up parts of myself over other parts because of my needs? I compromise all-the-time…so yes. With my ex, he being a Virgo and my Virgo Moon, though we end up wanting the same things, we go about expressing it differently and so get into conflict and I end up compromising to keep the peace. I guess I do push my agenda a little harder and he has Moon in Pisces so is more sensitive and intuitive with what he wants…and I usually let him have his way. But I find when I do I am usually happy anyway and it all works out. : )
What is my compromising based on? Jupiter in Libra. I want things to work out and for everyone to be happy.
Sounds reasonable to me
Number one need for me is freedom.
But I really like what Lupa said about access. I have a 12th house Sag moon and my fantasy is to have me and husband running around doing all of our own things, having seperate lives in many ways, maybe even lovers, but always being able to come back to each other, knowing and trusting each other deeply, down to the core. We pretty much have that but not to the full extent of what I would like. It’s hard though–being human we have so many layers of vulnerability, and our ideals don’t always work in the real world.
p.s. I’m a Taurus sun sign and I have known bulls that can be so fixed and stubborn but I never fell in with that herd.
We love the Taurus 🙂 but we enjoy teasing them too 🙂 Interesting about your freedom desires. Very Sag!
I love the question. Pondering this now for myself. Scorpio moon in the 12th means I have intense needs that I can’t quite put my finger on. There is a need for depth, a need to be needed. Need for security.
Primary relationship need might be access. I can give my partner a great deal of freedom so long as I feel like I have access to their innermost workings. I want to be the one to help them unlock their own mysteries. And I want to feel like I am safe to show them my own.
I had answered this question for myself in the blog post but I think I edited it out 🙂
That I am driven by my Cancer Sun Mercury Mars I think (these days) over seeking The Big Wide Open. Security/safety is winning over my Leo need for theatre or the impulsive passions of my Moon Pluto conjunction.
Sometimes what is most deep is most subtle. You have Venus in Cancer = security.
Yes, security is a big one for me as well, but security without movement is death to my Gemini and other mutable planets. I know this all too well having been married to a Taurus before I knew better. Security isn’t everything. First lesson in relationship for me. :p
The movement for me has to be (is) intimacy/depth of the relationship itself. I had a revelation about someone last night. Something that was hard for me to get to and I thought “Oh maybe someone with oppositions in their chart would have realized this before…” 😉 the ability to see the other side.
Taurus is an extreme case. I think the most immoveable sign.
He was my first lesson in a lot of things and when I started learning astrology I had already left that relationship. He was my model for Taurus but he has a massive cruel streak. Low energies of Scorpio I think. Stubborn and cruel. Years later I learned how beautiful and sensitive Taurus can be when they are operating from the high side.
as long as you do what they say
(just kidding Taurus! We love sweet Taurus 🙂
Well I can appreciate them and all but I’d never marry another one. 🙂
