Upcoming lunar eclipse

[lumina]

So anyone prepared for the eclipse? 

Well, it`s one of the more exhausting ones, I guess, and just wondering what it will have in store for us. 


My EVC with the eclipse looking like this

Eclipse chart in my area, cut-and-pasted from another thread:




I've been bracing myself. 

lumina,

Seems your EVC has had sun-Venus-Mars for weeks. 

I love Jupiter-Neptune on the ASC here, in a grand trine with Juno and the NN. 

My EVC has the ASC @ 11 Libra, exact on my natal Pluto, square 12 Cancer Mars on the 14 Cancer MC. So, of course, my sun is in the IC. 

In other words the EVC makes my natal sun-Pluto square angular. 

EVC Chiron @ 14 Aries. Does the fun ever stop?

irrespective of any EVC, this lunar return chart looks exhausting (to not use a more negative term ) and definitely not like fun. 
Of course everyone has a personal response to the eclipse, my EVC actually does not look that bad, I was surprised to find the Jupiter-Neptune-conjunction right on the ASC (btw today my EVC Moon has been on 26 Cap so I guess it must join my EVC Jupiter-Neptune today at some point).

In terms of the eclipse chart itself it has MC on 25 Sagittarius at my location, and hence putting my Sun-Mercury exact on the MC of that eclipse. Hmm, no clue what to make of this other than I might be even more talkative than usually, though it feels like my needs for communication exceed anyone else`s. lol 
Or maybe I am just talking too much about myself.  


"Seems your EVC has had sun-Venus-Mars for weeks.
"
Yes, though most of the time Venus had been in Aries opposing Sun-Mars, it had joined those two only last monday (8th july). 
Currently my pr Moon has entered 10 Libra and is heading into a trine to my pr Sun on 11 Aquarius.

Funny enough the Italian`s EVC Jupiter is on 11 Libra currently, so  it seems my EVC Venus and EVC Sun are meeting his EVC Jupiter right around now. Well I guess he has been kinda of an expansive encouraging influence. lol (our composite Venus-Juno is on 10 and 13 Aquarius, too)

P`s EVC Sun with that eclipse is on 10 Libra.but of course like usually when there is a transiting full moon he has a quarter Moon in the EVC (because he is a New Moon baby and very little communicative currently), his EVC MOon will be on 11 Cap tomorrow night when the eclipse becomes exact (here it will be close to midnight of 17th july actually, just half and hour before). 



But anyway, its a LUNAR eclipse, last year when we had the total blood moon lunar eclipse in july he was cancelling the concert I was going to see him in, the eclipse happening on that exact day, so I am not quite sure I am even going to see him this weekend, even though it is planned. 
The Lunar eclipse is stressing him out probably emotionally anyway, taking place on his tropical Venus on 25 Cap, tropical Juno on 27 Cancer and involving his DRaco Sun-Moon-MC from 25-27 Cancer. Possibly the eclipse is also close enough in orb to square his marital composites Saturn-Pluto-conjunction on 27 Libra, plus Tr Pluto squares his own Pluto on 21 LIbra exact. 

I guess he has quite his hands full with his own life. I mean private life not professional one, or maybe both. Maybe people just do not feel like joking around for real and communicate casually with the Tr Pluto-natal Pluto square being exact. lol Could be right? 







I love Jupiter-Neptune on the ASC here, in a grand trine with Juno and the NN.

Yes, I thought that Jupiter-Neptune on the ASC looked quite nice, and then n that grand trine, but of course it is all at ending degrees.

LOL 

No it doesn`t. Well in the very least we can expect some intense feelings to emerge. some internal transformations going on, possibly the conclusion of that internal processing will only be seen and visible later on, though who knows? Maybe it will show itself sooner, with the connection to the angles.

Hi lumina,

K, got all that

"In terms of the eclipse chart itself it has MC on 25 Sagittarius at my location, and hence putting my Sun-Mercury exact on the MC of that eclipse."

Impressive! By the way, do you subscribe to the idea that eclipse energy starts to come into effect before the eclipse? If so, being more outgoing on social media recently could play into this? The 6 months leading up to the eclipse right on my sun this year were crazier than the six months after it.

"Funny enough the Italian`s EVC Jupiter is on 11 Libra currently, so it seems my EVC Venus and EVC Sun are meeting his EVC Jupiter right around now. Well I guess he has been kinda of an expansive encouraging influence."

Any plans to see him in the near future?

"The Lunar eclipse is stressing him out probably emotionally anyway, taking place on his tropical Venus on 25 Cap, tropical Juno on 27 Cancer and involving his DRaco Sun-Moon-MC from 25-27 Cancer."

It does look stressful but I'm hoping what doesn't kill him makes him stronger. He seems overworked and distant, maybe needs to recharge that Cancer energy "core" with some real emotional soul food. (As if I'm his energy healer. But really.)

"Yes, I thought that Jupiter-Neptune on the ASC looked quite nice, and then n that grand trine, but of course it is all at ending degrees."

Maybe you get a sense of closure about something? Peace?

"Well in the very least we can expect some intense feelings to emerge. some internal transformations going on, possibly the conclusion of that internal processing will only be seen and visible later on, though who knows? Maybe it will show itself sooner, with the connection to the angles."

I think my most dominant emotion is just a vague sense of fear, holding my breath, waiting for some kind of axe to drop. So I try and consciously break out of that, wondering, "What would be a creative use of my time right now? What could I to surprise myself?" Trying to build my breaking-out-of-a-rut muscles.

Well as I've said, this year I have DW transits of tr sun conjunct my Saturn, tr Saturn conjunct my sun, and these come to a head on July 24, when my EVC sun-Saturn will be @ 23 Libra on natal sun/Saturn midpoint (squaring this eclipse). Meanwhile, my EVC Mars will be @ 15 Cancer opposing my sun. My daughter is flying in from abroad and meeting my husband in LA that day, so I hope there's no undue hardship.

That day, her EVC sun-Mercury @ 0 Libra/29 Virgo will oppose EVC Uranus @ 0 Aries, and square EVC NN @ 28 Gemini. Hopefully that is just reflecting the unusual situation and nothing negative. Astrology can drive a person crazy.

Well, arguably it's my fault for showing up on an eclipse thread. I just get my "gloom & doom" gear on, take a deep breath, and try and understand things.

Yes, but not 6 months before.


"Any plans to see him in the near future?

No. At least not yet, well I will want to see the play once more before it ends (september), so possibly august, but not sure if I will be lucky to see him again in the main role. 




"He seems overworked and distant, maybe needs to recharge that Cancer energy "core" with some real emotional soul food. (As if I'm his energy healer. But really.)
"
Who knows? Maybe you are? I mean your Draco Moon is there as well, right? 

and yes he seems definitely overworked and distant. 




"Maybe you get a sense of closure about something? Peace?

Could be. Preparing for a new cycle, the midpoint of Jupiter and Juno is on 29 Pisces after all.

I keep my fingers crossed for you. 

Well as I said I had a good time with Tr Saturn on my Sun, but of course everyone is different. 
There is a lot of seriousness there though. 







" Astrology can drive a person crazy.

Yes, and because of that, occasionally it is good to take a step back and not take it too literal.  


On the other hand, well my niece is going to be born anytime now, well she is due rather at the end of july, but you know how it is, could be a bit early, or a bit late. lol 

But boy she really picked a timeframe to be born into! 

No matter when, it will have the SAturn-Pluto-conjunction, and curiously enough she will probably have the same Jupiter-NEptune-square as I have, just with reverse signs, her Jupiter and NEptune will be in domicile, mine are in mutual reception.

I'm waiting for the axe, too. With the exception of a couple of days/nights spent crying, over the past, and then over my mum, I've been too relaxed lately. So I'm waiting for the inevitable take-down.
