Yesterday we experienced a partial eclipse of the Moon in Capricorn. We’re now in a two week phase from Full Moon to the next eclipse at the New Moon that’s like an isolated bubble of time. These happen about every five-and-a-half months, usually with a cluster of two (or sometimes three) eclipses. The last time was in the midst of the holiday season, in the middle of what I described as the winter whirl [note, this link takes you to premium content].
This two week phase is a time when all of the properties of the eclipses are the easiest to work with: pattern setting, break in continuity from the past, and a sense of decisions having bigger influence than we’re accustomed to.
Yesterday’s eclipse occurred in the 7th house of the Thema Mundi [note, this link takes you to premium content]. The Thema Mundi is the ‘chart of the world’ used as a teaching tool by the Hellenistic Greeks, which is a key to the system of astrology. So an eclipse in Capricorn, being in the 7th house, is about relationships. To me this eclipse is about letting go of the ‘old version’ of ourselves that is caught in any relationship and preventing us from growing.
