Eclipse synastry

[Ava]

How is this upcoming eclipse affecting your relationships?

I posted a chart for the eclipse in the Basic Astrology forum.

With Uranus in the brew definitely take that risk!
A lunar eclipse is about illuminating things, too, also with Mars and Uranus, definitely an aspect of being bold and taking risks (of course within rational measures, I am sure you will know).

And yes Mercury is definitely a relationship planet, at least for me and P (we both have Mercury ruling our DESC. lol)
Is it ruling your 11th house per chance? I have not checked.

also your Solar Arc Moon is at 1°24 Taurus (btw just 3 minutes opposing my natal Uranus) - so Transit Uranus is conjunct it. Just making a mental note of it. It looks interesting. It seems to me that progressions and solar arc positions ARE sensitive to transits, too.

For example in the charts of Lancelot and me we were having

his pr Venus 1 Taurus
his pr Mars 2 Taurus
his pr Juno 2 Taurus
his pr Jupiter 3 Leo

my n 5th house cusp 1 Taurus
my n Uranus 1 Scorpio
my pr Uranus 2 Scorpio
my sa Juno 1 Taurus

composite Mars 3 Aquarius


Tr Uranus 0 Taurus
Tr Mars 1 Aquarius

------------------

It was the only time I ever consented to have my picture taken with him, or actually, well usually I disappear when the picture thing comes up, and this time I was more agreeable, which came as a surprise to even myself.

But yes I kind of think the transits to the progressed planets might have had something to do with this, maybe also that we were approaching a composite Mars-Return. We do have a strong Uranus vibration in our composite anyway (mostly being opposite Mercury-Venus, but that Venus is widely conjunct Mars by about 6-7 degrees, so Uranus is also squaring Mars by 7 degrees - yeah, not the most peaceful and calm composite, but it is what it is)


------------------------

As for P well, I honestly think the eclipse might be more affecting him than me.
As the eclipse degrees will be:


Ecclipse
-------------
Sun-Moon: 4°45 Leo-Aqua
Mars: 3°58 Aqua

NN: 5°53 Leo

Uranus 2°31 Taurus



P`s chart
-------------
n Vesta 2°59 Taurus

p IC 3°53 Leo
p MC 3°53 Aqua
p Sun 6°17 Aqua

sa ASC 4°57 Taurus
sa Saturn 6°02 Scorpio

-------------------

my chart

n Uranus 1°21 Scorpio
n 5th house cusp 1°35 Taurus

pr Uranus 2°27 Scorpio

sa Juno 1°22 Taurus (n Uranus in pretty much exact opposition to sa Juno; and of course sa Juno applying to cross into 5th house, in about 2 months)

------------------------

composite

c-DESC 1°21 Leo
pc-Moon 1°52 Leo



Well the orbs are not exact, so I don`t know if it is even worth mentioning. On the other hand it seems like an orb of 2-3 degrees, especially with conjunction and oppositions are absolutely valid. (I think Celeste Teal proposes a 3 degree orb, for conjunctions/ oppositions of an eclipse to natal planets).


In P`s case, the eclipse might not hit so much in terms of his natal chart, but I just cannot overlook the fact how close Moon-Mars is to his pr MC, and he does indeed have a lot on his plate workwise! Hes been putting a lot of work and effort into that and - despite his disbelief that he could pull it off- has been marvellously successful. Much more than in the recent 1-2 years to be honest, though on the other hand that involved him being away from home for pretty long periods of time this year.


As for me it just seems like adding to the midlife crisis transit of Uranus opposing Uranus, I have Uranus-Juno written all over my predictive charts. lol

Maybe most emphasized actually about 3 weeks ago on the day when P and me last met, though I met a lot of people during those two days, not just him. A lot of sudden surprising meetings, encounters, relationships and some of them pretty surprisingly shifting.


Well at that point the Uranus-Juno-theme was like the universe trying to really hit me over my head with it I guess.


n Uranus 1 Scorpio
pr Uranus 2 Scorpio
sa Juno 1 Taurus
n 5th cusp 1 Taurus

Tr Uranus 2 Taurus
Tr Juno 2 Taurus
(Tr Moon was on 00 Taurus the moment of the hug, and during the show that followed a few hours later, Tr Moon was moving from 2-4 Taurus, and actually at some point during the show was conjunct the transiting IC).



As I said, pretty clearly pointing out the Uranus-Juno-theme that I am apparently under for the time being.

Actually once sa Juno stops opposing my natal Uranus, sa Uranus, which is now at 15,xx Sag will start squaring my natal Juno. LOL (well this will be taking place on 16 Sag- Pisces, so might come with a different "sense/feeling/energy")

But just saying, Uranus-Juno seems to be something for me to keep an eye on.

How do you guys ask for TOB of significant others?

I would feel weird asking a friend 🤷‍♀️🙈🙈

[lumina]

I actually asked P when I first met him, pretty much almost the first thing I was telling/ asking him. To this day I am baffled about how I could do that. How weird! But we didn`t know each other back then, I suppose in a way it made it easier.
Well he didn`t know it, but he called his parents (in the middle of the night) to ask them. LOL
He`s just as crazy sometimes as I am I guess.

Though I hope and pray he`s forgotten completely about our first encounter (with talking). 

[Deleted]

Lucky you!
I would not know how to even bring it up unless it was topic of conversation. But such topics do not really come up as casual conversations.
Thanks for letting me know.
I guess maybe in my mind women are more open to such questions but it is the men I need the TOBs lol

[lumina]

I was surprised by my own actions, for sure. It`s NOT something I usually ask, but he seemed to be pretty open about it, to my surprise. To be honest I think that might have been the first time I considered that there might be more to him than meets the eye (and I was giving him credit for, in my mind all actors were just superficial, arrogant, possibly calculating and well, players. lol Or boring in real life). The second time, and that was when he REALLY became special in my eyes, was actually something I read about not saw with my own eyes. But apparently at one of his concerts, there was a young man with Down syndrome having the time of his life, singing along or dancing, and some of the more *conventional* audience were complaining about that and/ or mocking that man. Well as I read, P was interrupting his show, walking up to the man with Down syndrome, singing with him for a few seconds, and then after the song turned to the whole audience, telling them that EVERYONE was welcome to his concert, especially if they were spreading so much good vibes and having fun like that man, and if there was anyone in the audience who was not accepting of that, they were welcome to leave the concert now. He would even repay them their entry fee for the concert."

How could someone not love a person like that?

Well for me it was personal of course, as my brother actually HAS the Down syndrome (I learned only many years later that it must have been personal for him, too, as his girlfriend of that time has a sister with Down syndrome, too.). It`s weird when my mom was complaining at times that I was being so introvert, isolated, not outgoing and not letting friends close or even dating, I was telling her that I could only be really friends with someone who genuinely accepted my brother and treated him in a natural kind way. All the more for a possible romantic partner.
In a way this has been always an "initiation test", every friend had to undergo, how they were treating other people, especially handicapped people.

My mom also said that while that was reassuring for her and admirable, I might put too high demands on other people. But well I would never call anyone a friend who doesn`t meet these demands, no matter if they are high or not.

But so, when hearing that about P, I found it really endearing.
And if you were to ask me what was the main reason I am so hooked to him, it is this innate quality he has to make other people feel special and included. I bet he would NEVER see that about himself, but that is what he does. And that is one of the most attractive qualities any person can have for me, to be basically genuinely accepting of anyone (as long as they are treating others kindly and nice; he can be quite different, if HIS standards in terms of human behaviour are not met, and rightfully so) and just encourage their personality.

Though an aquaintance of mine sais that this might be especially true in terms of him and me, or as she sais: "I never really feel that visible to him". Well I won`t exclude the possibility that maybe we just mix pretty well in certain regards of our personality.

So sorry for the tragedy in your family!
I hope it does all turn for the better. If you do need the time away and time for yourself then you need to listen to your needs.
Many hugs, you always have support here when you need someone to talk to or just vent.

[Deleted]

With Uranus in the brew definitely take that risk! 

I feel like now my mind is going to be stopped in its tracks by the tragedy in my family, my neice's illness.

Not what I was expecting at all.

I don't even know if I can keep coming to this forum, I just want to wander off again, starve more, cry more.

These are hard times despite the good times. 

I'm so overwhelmed I'm almost speechless for once. 

If I'm not around for a while, that's why. Hope everyone else fares much better through this eclipse.

This one just clobbered me.  

Wait, what illness?? Take all the time you need. I'm so sorry.

Thank you, ladies ❤️
