Making Things Flow

Dear Eric,
First of all, thank you so, so, so much for sharing your
compassion and wisdom with us!! Your writing has helped me, and many friends,
in ways that are beyond description. Thank you. I have been reading a lot about
all these eclipses, and I have been experiencing this strange feeling of
emptiness and confusion. My birthday is on the 18th of October when the lunar
eclipse is, and I have five planets in Libra, plus transiting Uranus conjoining
natal Jupiter.
Normally I follow my intuitions very easily and always felt
lucky how things unfolded. But now Jupiter is making conjunctions to my Sun,
Mars, and Venus, yet I'm stuck! How could I make things flow again? Thank you
for your insights.
I was born on October 18th, 1974, in

Dear Ananda,
No need to rush it. The transits you're having now,
including both the eclipse and the Uranus transit to Jupiter in Pisces, are
going to be unfolding for quite a while, as they probably have been already.
Also, the main event -- an eclipse of the Moon on your birthday -- has not
happened yet. But it's certainly one of those things we could call personal in
nature; the cosmos talking to you directly a little like Buddha inviting you in
for tea.
Eclipses represent breaks in continuity. So therefore, we
might want to leave the door open to information or experience coming to you in
a whole new way. Eclipses also have their most tangible effects over a period
of six months or longer, so with such a precise event as this, we also get some
astrological guidance on the time frame of action or effect, at minimum.
With any astrological event, it's helpful to look at the
imagery and use your imagination to get a sense of the 'meaning'. This is
pretty much the easiest and most effective way to read a chart. Check out this
obvious setup: your Sun (solar nature, expressive self, the masculine aspect of
you that seeks to create and be at the center of your world) is being opposed
by an eclipse of the Moon (inner nature, feminine aspect, intuitive side,
receptive side, personality). We get the image of a polarity; of an opening of
a doorway or gateway in a relationship; and a shift in all your ideas about
relationship. It may represent someone close to you going through a big change,
or coming into your life, or leaving, or some of both involving more than one
individual.
Uranus to Jupiter in Pisces is quite exotic, and there will
be surprises that I imagine would take you to far-away places and introduce you
to ideas you had never considered.
I can, however, certainly relate to the feeling of
anticipation relating to an eclipse. So hang loose and see what shakes out of
the cosmic tree. It's a big freakin' tree, my friend.
