Tomorrow's eclipse in Aries and Pluto goes stationary/retrograde

Any thoughts and/or predictions?

Everyone is no doubt sick of hearing me talk about this eclipse. But it is my birth eclipse, I was born a few hours after a total eclipse of the sun, it was Saros 139. This is the eclipse that is here today! It only returns every 20 years and the events the other two times it returned were very significant life changes.

The natal eclipse landed in the middle of my natal Pisces stellium (sun, moon, north node, Mercury.) It is especially exciting since the eclipse transit today is hitting Jup in the 8th house, which is the tip of my Yod (mars, and asc quin.)

All right I will stop yammering about this.

:bounce:

(I've never used the bouncing smiley before, but it seems so, so appropriate here! Anticipation...)

:)

I hope you don't get blown off the planet, cassie. But in case you do--thanks for all of your help and insights. I can feel that I am moving toward a better place in my life and your posts for me here were a big part of that.

Nothing too exciting on my big day, just a regular day.
I was hoping I would have the good feelings I had with the lunar eclipse two weeks ago. But instead I felt out of sorts for part of the day, felt heavy and bogged down, like I was walking thru mud. Maybe that is the solar eclipse energy? Very odd feeling.

Or maybe coming down with something, who knows.

heavy and I feel like I'm slogging through a bog. I've been impatient, grouchy and foggy-headed.

For several hours yesterday morning I felt quite unwell.
Very very heavy, yes slogging thru a bog or mud describes it.
Very foggy headed, head felt funny, like there was something buzzing there somehow, the top of my head and around my ears particularly. All I wanted to do is sit in a hot bath and soak. But I went into work and then in a few hours felt fine.

Was very weird, I was sure that I was coming down with some sort of bug. But I am OK now.

If this was solar eclipse energy beaming in, it was not fun.
I really loved the lunar eclipse energy that came a few weeks ago. I felt ebullient, buoyant, floating, happy. The solar energy was the opposite. Of course it could all be my imagination.

I was curious when the eclipse actually took place, and if my symptoms coincided with the start of the the eclipse.

Actually to my surprise, my symptoms occurred almost exactly as the eclipse was ending, it was lifting off Earth's surface along Mongolia's northern border. And then I felt bad for several hours.

Astrologically I had quite a bit going on yesterday. The eclipse (my birthday eclipse!) was traveling in a little transit caravan in my natal chart! The solar eclipse was lined up with transiting sun, moon, and north node, all conjunct the apex of my natal yod, jup in aries. And my natal yod involves four planets and my ASC. Jup quincux to Asc and Mars. And then Saturn and Neptune conjunct, opp Jup. So it is possible my energy was being scrambled to the max. And it is definitely a karmic situation astrologically speaking. What it means remains to be seen. The effects of a solar eclipse can last up to a year I am told.

Just felt so heavy, like gravity had been altered somehow.

Or again it could all be my imagination! I feel fine today.

Wednesday, March 29, 5:16 am EST is the New Moon Power Day in March! This day offers us an ESPECIALLY potent New Moon for two reasons: it combines with a Solar Eclipse. Because it is the New Moon in Aries, it is the most potent Moon of the year for making wishes involving new beginnings! If you have a copy of the book: New Moon Astrology, be sure to consult page 13 for more information on this potent New Moon and Treasure Maps.

Don’t miss this opportunity to make wishes for experiences you’d like to have. Because this New Moon is in the sign of Aries, it’s a powerful time for wishes involving courage, starting new enterprises, and making a new beginning in any area that is important to you: a relationship, a business, a job, a new behavior. Things you may have wanted to happen in your life for a long time can begin easily manifesting through using the boost of this powerful New Moon.

For success, your wishes must be handwritten on paper and ten wishes maximum are allowed on each power day. The most potent time is the first 8 hours AFTER the exact time of the New Moon; within the first 48 hours will still work. The potency continues to exist for another twelve hours, but is weaker. For clear success, its best to avoid wishing during those hours when the Moon is Void of Course.

Therefore in MARCH 2006, your most potent times for wishing are: Wednesday, March 29: 5:16 am to 12 Midnight; Thursday, March 30: 12:01 am to 10:40 am - and - 4:02 pm to12 midnight; Friday, March 31: all day and night. These times are in Eastern Standard Time and need to be converted to your local time zone. http://www.janspiller.com/forums/showthread.php?t=407

Sample Aries wishes: "I want to find myself easily going in independent directions that are constructive for me;" I want to assert myself in a way that leads to others cooperating with my leadership;" "I want courage and positive initiative to enter into every area of my life;" I want to find myself easily taking action to make my dreams come true!" www.janspiller.com (this info is from her article in Dell Horoscope Magazine, March 2006)

I definitely will attempt to revise my "manifestation list." I've got some gooood stuff to wish for right now. Hee.

:hug: Thanks, friend.

Sounds good to me! :hi:

so I guess this is just an extra kick to the year!

It's time to get over what's been, to move on, to shake off, to restart. Never mind what happened in the past – here comes the New Moon eclipse, moreover, in the super-charged sign of Aries. (All the signs are powerful in their own way, but Aries has extra oomph, partly because it's the sign associated with off-like-a-rocket Mars, and partly because it's the first sign off the zodiac's starting blocks.) Eclipses seasons are always excitable, tense and/or heated times – this week's eclipse promises us all the new, all the beginnings and all the firsts we ask for.

If you've wandered way off your right and proper path, it's the time when the Universe is likely to shunt you back to where it wants you to be. Eg: you're involved with a relationship with someone who's not treating you well. Do you really think God/the Universe wants that for you? Uh uh. Often relationships end dramatically and suddenly at the time of an eclipse because we've been clinging on to something which we should have had the sense to let go of ages earlier. So watch out, particularly if you happen to have Sun, Moon, Venus or your Rising sign between 3 and 13 Aries (see www.astro.com or visit an astrologer to find out).

It's often said that what ends at the time of an eclipse will never restart. This sounds harsh and a little bit scary but the reason comes back to the same deal: what happens around the eclipse is meant to be. It can take days, weeks, months and even years to see it, but it does eventually become clear.

And what is the fate of what starts around an eclipse? Since eclipses are karmic, it's safe to assume that what starts at the time of the eclipse New Moon has a very good chance to continue. If you're starting a job, a love affair or just about anything else now, you have a sort of astral rocket underneath you which should hopefully help you charge towards success. If it's your birthday this week, you're in for a truly memorable year.

The New Moon eclipse will take place on March 29 at 9.11pm AEDT (Sydney), 10.11am GMT (London) and 5.11am EST (Noo Yawk).

Remember to make at least one wish just afterwards, preferably for something you want to instigate in your life.

stuff. I will make a wild guess. Something is starting to drown in our universe?

Sorry to confuse you! I am just being goofy because I am strongly connected to this particular eclipse, and I am a bit giddy about it..............

I've cleaned and blessed my whole house, made sure to get enough food, (I'm about to eat again, actually) had a session with my Tarot reader, burned some positive energy candles, made my wishes for the future, (very Aries wishes, I might add) and just generally tried to remain upbeat and positive. It's been another extremely high energy day, too. Looking forward to tommorow!

Blech. Time for some more coffee.

PLUTO GOES RETROGRADE ON MARCH 29, 2006
Heart Level Initiation Is Coming Your Way!
How to Take Advantage of it!!
By Eileen Nauman

(Today) Pluto is conjunct the Galactic Center (GC) where the 'heart' of our spiral armed galaxy is. This occurs once every 247 years as Pluto orbits around our sun and touches the heart of our galaxy. We are in the perfect spot at the perfect moment to not only receive communion with the heart of our galaxy home, but also to heal our own wounded hearts with the release of energy that will occur with this planet going retrograde….We have an amazing gift coming our way--one that is offered only once every 247 years. It is an initiation to the heart level as a human being.

That means that you have the choice and capability of moving from your Lower Chakras (eye for an eye, wars, selfishness, narcissism, disempowerment of others, FEAR based life, prejudice, hatred, intolerance, greed, victimization, and all the rest of human unhealthy characteristics and emotions/attitudes...) to the HEART LEVEL where these traits dissolve in the Gold-White Light of LOVE from the Cosmos that is there for our taking.

What a shift! We are six years into a 12 year Mayan chaos called "The End of Time." In Revelations in the Bible, they also refer to it as "The End of Time," too. No matter what religion or belief system you hold, since 2001 we have entered into the gauntlet of what I call the "Dark Night of Our Collective Soul" here on Earth.

Now, we can either botch this trip and sink to our lower chakras where we are right now, or we can expend a tremendous effort to pull ourselves up, one human at at a time, by our collective bootstraps and move into our HEART. If we do this, then compassion/love will disintegrate FEAR which is what is holding this world captive right now.

Pluto going retrograde in the heart of our Galactic Center is going to show us how to disentangle ourselves from the FEAR based reality and move into our heart where hope, faith, trust, peace, goodwill, tolerance, patience and so many of our positive human attributes live. And they will flourish instead of have FEAR as our constant companion. Pluto is the white knight on the black horse galloping toward us to aid and support us to make this INITIATORY leap into our heart chakra and turn darkness into light. To turn war into peace. To turn hatred into love. To turn intolerance into tolerance. To turn prejudice into acceptance of all, regardless of skin color, gender, or nationality or belief system. This is the opportunity coming our way. MARCH 2006 is one of the most exciting months of the year! I hope you take full advantage of this treasure chest of gifts coming our way shortly.

Yesterday it felt like my heart and crown chakras were buzzing for several hours as the eclipse was lifting off the planet. And I think there are smaller ear chakras, located right above the ears? These were buzzing too. I am not very familiar with those chakras so I don't know what that means.

Pluto is a very karmic planet, I didn't think about that energy in the mix too, and coming from the heart of the galaxy sounds pretty heavy to me. Maybe I wasn't joking about being blown off the planet. Actually it felt more like I was being crushed and would be smashed into the earth. And I had this strange feeling that something was being downloaded into me.

I kept checking myself yesterday to see if anything had changed but I think nothing has....If I start acting weird, let me know!

:)

reported feeling that yesterday was a day which "felt as if it had conspired to make him angry." It did sound like a very bad day for him, when lots of things broke/didn't work/weren't there when he needed them. His eleventh house is in Aries, if that tells anyone why the day sucked for him.

...does your Dad have planets in Libra? Neptune at least? He might have been feeling an opposition from the eclipse.

Funny, I never noticed that before. That this was where his Neptune is. Yikers.

the Lunar eclipse on the 14th was within a degree and a half of my Sun and I was on an emotional roller coaster. I felt needier and wingier than I can remember being in a very very long time.

The Solar eclipse was within a one degree orb of an opposition to my Mars and I felt like a car stuck in neutral that was over reving completely. The Pluto station was squaring my Sun and I'm flirting with making some major changes.

All in all now I feel great and have an amazingly hopeful case of spring fever.

Happy flying pheromones all !!!
