One down, two to go.
And today I almost wanted to apologize for how much I was sweating. “Real feel” 95 degrees or so in the big city. No ladylike Arid Xtra Dry here. I sweat the sweat of the entire NFL on a bad day. And it wasn’t like I was expecting anything to happen, today, because of the eclipse. I mean, I think I know what the Gemini eclipse means for me.
Still, it was fun to wait and watch as if missing it meant we’d really be missing something, like Santa Claus. Or a really good hail storm.
Did you feel it? It’s not BOOM and then over. It’s an energy pattern. Can I say that? I believe it. We all have a relationship with this eclipse. We’re all dating this eclipse. And… we’ll find out if it’s a forever love or a…
But you know what? I think I’ve been trafficking in eclipse porn for days now. Blog posts full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. And yet these events do move us, whether we write about the science or the history or about doing the laundry 🙂 I’m a Cancer Sun, Mercury, Mars. I’m gonna be domestic about whatever I write. Remember that slogan: the personal is political? It’s like that.
So what’s so personal about this eclipse? What’s personal is how it affects you and your chart, your life, your Gemini, your Sagittarius, and everything in between. And maybe it’s real literal for you. Maybe your beloved is a Gemini or Sadge. And maybe it’s not about love at all, but that’s my metaphor of the day.

I just realized that the Cancer eclipse in July will fall in my 12th house and be within 3 degrees of my natal moon/jupiter conjunction. Should this stress me out? New moon, new beginnings, 12th house, natal stuff…
Should I just go off the radar? Near the ocean, on an island maybe. Sometimes it’s difficult to articulate 12th house stuff. It’s such a personal and mysterious place.
Saturn going direct, Neptune going retrograde, solar eclipse in the 12th, man it just doesn’t let up. It really is a new phase. Oh MoonPluto, give me some psychic, watery feedback 🙂
The Cancer eclipse appears to contain a bit more obvious tension than the preceding ones (for everyone). And with it so close to your moon…. it’s a given you will FEEL it very much. Moon Jupiter is lovely though. Big emotions but with the famous Sadge smile on top of it 🙂 I wouldn’t “prepare” for stress but I’d take it easy that week. I dunno, mucha agua, I’m *not* getting a bad feeling about this. If I felt caution, I’d mention it. I don’t know your chart of course. Connect the dots….
I see what you mean. You’re documenting. Maybe I was projecting a little. I guess my reaction to the eclipse has been a little spazzy, not my favorite flavor of Gemini. But this whole thing is trine Saturn in Libra, and I am pleased with the way I’ve been treating others lately. Maybe my 11th house is asking for some attention. I do have hopes and dreams.
Well, freaking out doesn’t do anyone any good, but sometimes it happens. When the dust settles… then take a look at the landscape. Yes, I was documenting, tracking my emotional landscape and asking questions. Something could definitely come along to benefit you, with this eclipse in your 11th. Check aspects/degrees of course. I also find the 11th to be a bit amorphous. Unsure how things play out there. I wonder new opportunity through a friend? Something related to networking related to your hopes and dreams yes or money from your work. Have to connect the dots in your chart, as you know. But no doubt they are there–
Yeah, it’s summer everywhere but in the Pacific NW. Are we just freaking out over nothing or is it a water sign thing? Seriously. I don’t know what to make of the eclipse. It falls in my 11th house, which is all well and good but do we need to make a deal out of it. Maybe it’s an Aquarian thing. I also have Uranus conjunct my sun, I prefer to remain detached and see what comes of it. Saturn is still retrograde so patience is still a theme. Not that I don’t have pressure in my life, but it’s an effort to remember to give thanks for what’s good.
Maybe I’m just avoiding the whole thing…
@mucha agua, eclipses definitely are big deals — I haven’t written posts about what they mean, say, astrologically, technically speaking. More my emotional responses. But yes, I watch them, take note, and now write about it. Keeping track of my life is a compulsion of mine. And I don’t see it as either/or — one can be simultaneously grateful/hopeful/afraid. One can also write something and it doesn’t reflect the complexity of the emotion or the situation. As for detatchment? No clue what that’s about 🙂
Gemini is mostly 7th, a little 8th house for me, if I’m reading it right. The degree of the eclipse looks like it was exactly in between. Does that sound about right?
I don’t have any natal planets there.
P.S. Sending COOLER your way, MP. Today was the first gorgeous day we’ve had in sooooo long. 75, sunny and breezy. No rain. No high heat. No nasty cold.
Just beautiful.
@Kim, I’ll take it! Thank you 🙂 Where’s your Gemini house?
@Angela, hope you get some zzzz!!!
I am LOVING this energy! I’ve not only signed up for a cool class (first class for me in years), but I think I’ve got a job!
WOOOOO-HOOOOO!!!!!
I’ve been dealing with insomnia for a week now, and I feel like hell. I also lost my cheerfulness in the early hours.
