Today the Sun moves into the 2nd
Decan of Libra. The Full Moon occurs in the center of this Decan and
on the doorway of what Astrology calls “via combusta” or the
“fiery way.”
If you notice, Mother Nature does the
same thing with rainy or windy seasons (hurricane, typhoon, tornado
seasons, for example). The energy from these seasons is strong even
reaching the point of creating hazards for inhabitants of Earth.
These seasons sweep in with destruction in a way that does not
discriminate. The eclipses work much the same way. Unpredictable and
sweeping while remaining seemingly impartial in regard to who may
feel its impact.
Blended karma is important. Before you
go taking on someone's baggage, you might want to check into what
they are packing. Does the new “love of your life” have heaping
amounts of debt? If so, that karma will blend with your own (you'll
end up carrying some of the load) when the two of you enter the legal
binds of marriage. That's just one obvious example. READ THE TERMS OF
WHAT YOU ARE AGREEING TO. CONSIDER THE LONG TERM RAMIFICATIONS. AND
REALISTICALLY WEIGH AND CONSIDER WHETHER THIS IS SOMETHING YOU REALLY
WANT TO BE LOCKED INTO. (if you just read that and subsequently heard
prison doors clink behind you...run)
Venus meets Neptune Rx by inconjunct
today (10:36 PM). It is a quick minor aspect that many will overlook
and few will speak of. But, for some, its effect will be obvious.
More veils will be dropped and emotionality will creep in as the Moon
enters Pisces on October 5. Emotions will roil under that sky. Then,
when the wake up call of the Aries Moon arrives, details will be
revealed under the Full Moon. People will be ready to take action.
But, I'll remind you again, that Mercury is retrograde. Re-read the
terms of your agreement before you go off haphazardly breaking it.
What do the terms say about early termination? Does the devastating
information revealed to you outweigh all the possible benefits of
continuing the partnership? Are you reacting to the situation? Or,
are you responding to it? There is a difference.
The Sun is in its Fall in Libra.
Adhering to the needs of Ego right now may not be the best way to go.
Coppock says, “the Sun in this Decan can be too accommodating.”
It's one thing to be nice. It's another to completely forgo your own
well being just to maintain an outward appearance of “everything's
ok.” Wanting things to APPEAR smooth and pretty (without regard to
what really goes on behind closed doors) is an issue of EGO. Pride.
Showmanship. Both of which proverbially “go before the fall.”
At 7:44 AM, the Moon meets information
(Mercury) by square. Check and recheck facts while remaining
objective until absolutely all the information has been collected. As
Mercury moves backward from Scorpio to Libra, I'd advise you not to
react impulsively due to your initial conclusions. Note those initial
impressions but know your first opinion may not be your best. Allow
time for the dust to settle as the information simmers. Ask
questions. Check details and facts all while remaining OPINIONLESS.
Put information on your scales and weigh them for awhile. We are
collecting and examining data here not drawing
conclusions just yet. Know that your body isn't going to want to wait
until the facts are in. Bowstrings are tight and begging for release.
HOLD! STEADY!
The second Decan of Libra is referred
to as “two links of a chain.” From the book 36 Faces by Austin
Coppock, “weak links are exposed but the true heart is also
revealed.” Happiness and contentment occurs as a “result of
agreements wisely made and held to.” While “lasting unions”
create “blended karma.” Coppock further states, “sacred covens
and profane deals” are both fostered in this Decan.
All of this gives inkling to what can
occur with the Sun and Venus' movements through this Decan not to
mention the eclipse.
Eclipse related events are occurring
right now. The Universe doesn't typically wait for the eclipse to
perfect in one final HURRAH! The energy that will climax at the Full
Moon is building now and will continue even as the Full Moon wanes.
The ripples of this energy are far reaching. Some Astrologers claim
these ripple effects can reach as far as 6 months into the future.
I'm inclined to agree with that. And,
I'll even note that sometimes ecliptic events can impact an entire
lifetime for better or worse til death do you part.
None of this should scare you, however.
We have eclipses twice every year at least. They are the natural
order of the Universe used to shake up things up and jostle dust so
that it settles in the corners or is swept away entirely.
If you notice, Mother Nature does the
same thing with rainy or windy seasons (hurricane, typhoon, tornado
seasons, for example). The energy from these seasons is strong even
reaching the point of creating hazards for inhabitants of Earth.
These seasons sweep in with destruction in a way that does not
discriminate. The eclipses work much the same way. Unpredictable and
sweeping while remaining seemingly impartial in regard to who may
feel its impact.
The warnings for the eclipse are about
the same as warnings for any major weather prediction. If you live in
the area most likely to endure the worst impact (have planets in or
around 15 degrees Cardinal and I'd give a 5 degree orb for eclipses
at minimum) batten down the hatches, be extremely aware of your
environment and take cover for safety when necessary. If you do not
have planets at these mid-degrees, still be on the alert for severe
weather and, of course, be wary of the fall out while being mindful
that some people you know may be right in line of this storm and may
need your assistance after the severe weather subsides. In other
words, you may not “live” in the danger area, but the dude next
to you on the bus might. Your boss might. Your partner might. Be on
the lookout for fallout.
The fact that Mercury is retrograde
both during the passage of the Sun and Venus through the 2nd
Decan of Libra and during the eclipse of the full Hunter's Moon, is
HUGE. Saturn rules this Decan and in Tarot, this section of Libra
relates to the 3 of Swords. Mercury's condition is important because
as Coppock describes, “agreements made can be binding but can also
restrict, oppress and imprison based on an agreement's terms.” Read
EVERYTHING maybe 3 or 4 times before making a decision to sign on any
line. Ask questions. Ask for clarification. Reflect the answers you
receive back to the speaker to ensure you have all the details noted
correctly. Don't smile and pretend you have it all straight when you
don't. Watch for what is NOT being said and bear in mind that
“lasting unions” and “blended karma” occurs here.
Blended karma is important. Before you
go taking on someone's baggage, you might want to check into what
they are packing. Does the new “love of your life” have heaping
amounts of debt? If so, that karma will blend with your own (you'll
end up carrying some of the load) when the two of you enter the legal
binds of marriage. That's just one obvious example. READ THE TERMS OF
WHAT YOU ARE AGREEING TO. CONSIDER THE LONG TERM RAMIFICATIONS. AND
REALISTICALLY WEIGH AND CONSIDER WHETHER THIS IS SOMETHING YOU REALLY
WANT TO BE LOCKED INTO. (if you just read that and subsequently heard
prison doors clink behind you...run)
That being said, “weak links”
within partnerships will can also give way at this time. Marriages
and seemingly solid unions can break away unexpectedly (Venus
opposite Uranus is strong at this Full Moon). Skeletons can creep out
of closets revealing long hidden betrayals. Hearts can be broken just
as frequently as they are fulfilled. And, fostering deals with the
Devil (which are usually baited with temptation) are just as possible
(Sun square Pluto) as fostering well intended and mutually satisfying
unions.
Chances are if you are in a union that
is shaky enough to break away at this eclipse, you are feeling the
Earth quiver under its feet right now. Veils around matters of love
and partnerships will drop as we move closer to this eclipse.

Venus and Saturn here, however, are
very well placed. Coppock says, “Venus here can create agreements
where none exist.” And, Saturn creates the proper grounding and
boundaries necessary for good partnerships to be built upon. Listen
for echoes of Saturn and Mars' passages through these degrees. And,
for the millionth time, check details while being mindful of the fact
that all the information is not in yet while some of the data you
have may be erroneous.
Today is a great day for doing some
preliminary fact checking in regard to all the information
given you thus far. The Moon is in Aquarius is ruled by Uranus giving
access to our “higher mind.” The Moon here can also provide a bit
of emotional detachment allowing the facts to be examined and
evaluated logically.

The Moon's trine to both the Sun (9:56
PM) and Venus (11:54 AM) can also be of benefit providing a nice
break if nothing else. Air signs are not highly emotional and have
the ability to remain objective. Use that incoming super power while
being mindful of the temptations and dark urges you may encounter as
the Sun becomes increasingly darkened by the shadow of Pluto in
Capricorn. That square perfects overnight at 4:02 AM. Don't fear what
bubbles up from deep inside of you. Be aware of it while knowing you
have full access to that monster's main control panel. In the
meantime, watch for wolves dressed in sheep’s clothing, deals that
seem too good to be true and snake oil salesman. All these demons
will be crawling out of the woodwork in the days to come.
Today, though, we aren't going to
tackle them outright. Instead, we are going to observe and take notes
so we will be all the better prepared to act smartly and with
conscious intention at exactly the right time and NOT before.
