Overview

As we move further into 2013--and the 2012 effect increasingly unfolds with the cosmic influx manifesting in the sociological realm--it is time to hold onto our emotional response, whilst in the thick of it.  As things move forward it is tempting to look for the easy solution, to get lost on the euphoric waves of energy or mass hysteria.

However the overall feeling is positive, vital and magical. It is undeniable, if you have been paying attention to the news outside of the mainstream, that a shift is occurring.
Time to let go of outworn fears, yet stay alert, proceed with stealth, determination and utilize careful magic, find your words of power--words that are imbued with magic for you. Time to subtly and benevolently use the evocative magic of the imagination within your activities to walk forward, responding to the fluctuating flow of energy with attentiveness. Move through the maize of polarity by calling upon the inherent goodness of life to lead you safely and creatively through the dramas of a world going through a fundamental transformation.

The cosmic energy is being stepped down one significant increment from the subtler planes into the world as we know it, the astral seeps in as boundaries loosen and social structures continue to dissolve. The world can be more easily moulded, if you want to do something new, that is in alignment with the emerging values then proceed.


The Eclipse


A solar eclipse is a new moon, where the Moon is aligned both by longitude and latitude and hence covers the Sun. Although the Sun is 400 times larger than the moon it is also 400 times further away!
Solar Eclipses occur fairly often so of itself an eclipse is not hugely significant. An eclipse always brings a degree of change, which mostly unfolds over a few months, and yet also appears within the moon cycle seeded.

We are now moving into the Winter in the Northern Hemisphere, this being marked by the astronomical cross quarter, Halloween on the 31st October and Samhain or Day of the Dead on November 1st (the civil calendar markers), whilst the actual astronomical cross quarter is on Thursday 7 November at 6.07GMT. This is the time of the year when the astral world of ancestors and spirit entities are closest to us, it is like a portal in time opens. It is an opportunity to feel some of our shadow elements, release dead wood out of the subtle energy field, to let go of outworn emotions and connect to the reality of the continuity of the soul after death. This ancestral and spirit entity portal is celebrated and acknowledged even with our modernity, albeit largely unconsciously.


The Solar Eclipse is on November 3rd at 12.51GMT this integrates with this annual portal opening of Samhain.






 Astrology of the Eclipse

If that was all we had to say about the Eclipse, then it would not be such a big deal. However, as we see on the chart, the Sun and Moon are in a conjunction with Saturn and Mercury which is retrograde on the North Node and most significantly in a neat angular relationship to the Uranus square Pluto configuration as well as Mars and Chiron.
Furthermore the Uranus square Pluto configuration is in an exact 90 degrees relationship TODAY Friday, Nov 1, 2013 at 10:30am GMT, 6.30pm Hong Kong and 3:30am PDT with Uranus retrograde 9° 26' Aries and Pluto direct at 9° 26' Capricorn.
The 2012 influx is represented on the sociological and environmental level by this square of Uranus with Pluto, it started during 2012 and ends 2015 this is the 4th of the seven exact squares that occur  and it speaks to us in general of the creative friction and conflict of values. The conflict of innovation and zealous desire to lead humanity in a new direction with the enduring social structure and hierarchy, it speaks to us of power battles and the need for an evolution/revolutionary change of the global social order.
If we take a moment to register our sense of the world we can all feel that the 2012 effect is unfolding, the cosmic influx is filtering down into the social realm. If we wanted to give an easy example of this manifestation we could point at the recent social phenomena that has gravitated around Russell Brands article and interview with Jeremy Paxman. 

As eloquent, intelligent, sharp and entertaining as Russell is we do need more than one voice and we do need some deeper thinking when it comes to this enormous change that is being undertaken by human society.
I will elaborate upon that another time, it Is not quite the right energy to fully get into that right now


The presence of Mars at the 12th degree of Virgo is confrontational, it is provoking social issues with an attitude of ‘show me’, ‘make it happen’, ‘bring it on’.

Chiron’s position in opposition to Mars and tied into the whole Eclipse configuration complicates the straight forward desire of Mars and its call to action and evidence. The sense of powerlessness and self sabotage can be expressed by Chiron which requires a more subtle approach to the issues of change, the need to connect to the overall feeling, the larger holistic picture, rather than a simplistic approach  we have to feel our way through it and we cannot see the whole outcome of the change emerging, but we need to feel the totality as best we can.

Connect to energy first, before acting.

Saturn is to some extent inhibiting the speed of change and yet also forcing the change to be real, forcing us to engage and do the work, to grapple with the intricacies of polarity and astral energy, the essential existential complexity of changing the world--or changing our own life.

Mercury Retrograde on the Node is revealing that the narrative is tied to an ancient evolutionary script and that the challenge is to refer back to large frames of time to see the story of what is unfolding.


Deucalion 12 degrees of Scorpio (Noah) and Ceto 14 degrees of Scorpio (monsters of the Deep) either side of Saturn tell us of the depths of the collective emotion that are seeking to surface and with it the dangers of flooding, tsunamis and mob madness, we are asked to ride the swells. The social boundaries, the structures are being threatened by the depth of the collective feelings. This is good, brings change and not so good, brings instability.

This eclipse is a another big push forward that requires effort and willingness to go over the polarity issues, engage with the dynamics, the opposite pulls of our needs, to reconsider them time and time again. A discussion that requires a continual rehashing and re-evaluation of what the issues are. The world is being forced to engage with the complexity of polarity within the global drama, to dredge over the entanglements of power, dependency and desire.

More than that though, the way forward requires the magical approach that unites with a cool mind to carefully evoke energy to utilize in our everyday world. 

The Eclipse chart speaks to me of a malleable reality, right now, more malleable than has been experienced for a long time, we can alchemize and be creative with the interconnections we find. Find the thread of logic that conforms to your creative imaginative and benevolently abundant vision. The astral energies are being infused into the everyday world, an astral fog is descending as the cosmic influx is stepped down into society, the world will feel that bit more surreal, this requires protection and yet utilization of this emotive, imaginative, penetrating energy.

The Planets as seen through the appropriate Sabian Symbols
Sun and Moon an embassy ball... the privilege of the elite being eclipsed

Saturn telephone lineman at work...hard work to maintain all structures
Mars a bride with her veil snatched away... forced exposure and the veil between the worlds being opened
Mercury Retrograde/Node the Moon shining on a lake.. evoking magic, with care and attention, listening to the feedback from the energy field
Chiron aviator in the clouds.. connect to source, or the larger feeling in order to navigate the energies

Neptune a petrified forest... dissolving rigidity

Uranus retrograde a man teaching new forms for old symbols...old things dressed up as new things, manipulation by the social engineers and old things reinterpreted

Pluto an albatross feeding from the hand... help others if you want to soar, give of yourself and your energy and be elevated, a big shift of values within the system trying to come through
Jupiter in a weak trine with Saturn is largely un-aspected, a prima donna singing...a show being put on for the public that has nothing to do with reality.

oh yes and comet Ison is coming an enormous amount of speculation around that, whatever the truth of Ison it is certainly part of the 2012 effect...


I will continue to edit and improve this piece and I will continue the exploration of this eclipse energy during this moon cycle...there is much we can do with this energy...


and some music
