Today is Monday, June 27, 2011. The waning Moon in mid-Taurus is closing in on the Sun in early Cancer, ramping up energy toward the third and final eclipse of this latest sequence. In a sense, this presents a bit of a paradox: the sense of ‘winding down’ that waning Moon energy brings is being overlaid with the build-up to an eclipse. There is, however, a point of reconciliation between the two, since this is a South Node eclipse – and the themes of that point get an energy boost from a sextile between Mars and Uranus early this morning.
Eclipses at the South Node, or tail of the dragon, represent something being released. This is where the usual waning Moon energy finds its resonance. Despite that, you may be starting to feel an inner churning like you’re a washing machine — but it’s only to shake loose old dirt so it’s free to be rinsed away. This is, after all, a water-sign eclipse in the Moon’s home sign, so the Cancerian themes run deep: home, family and the past, as well as trust, growth and nurturing. You can release anything blocking you from experiencing these themes in a healthy and supportive way now if you pay attention and give it an outlet, whether spiritually via prayer, symbolically via ritual or literally by giving away things to charity.
The sextile between Mars in Gemini and Uranus in Aries reinforces this theme of discerning no longer needed elements of the past from your desired future. A sextile is a flowing aspect that generally means help or support is available to you, if you are willing to ask for it. It is the nature of Mars to make distinctions between one thing and another and this suggests the principle of focused and directed energy brought to bear on very specific material concerns. Uranus also makes distinctions, but not simply between the differences of one thing and another but also whether that thing is in service to the future or the past.
So today as feelings, ideas, people, places and things float to the surface of consciousness, you have a little extra help in making distinctions between those holding you to the past and those that point to the future. Mars is giving you the desire to see the things restricting you for what they are and the drive to do something about it; Uranus is adding the extra juice you need to begin to put your energy elsewhere; the coming eclipse lends the potential for long-term consistency as you do. Over the next few months you can look for opportunities to release the past lovingly and thankfully. For now, it is enough simply to focus like a laser your attention, emotions, energy and resources on that which feels like the future.

Thank you, Gary and Amanda. A very rich and nourishing broth that satisfies the appetite and cures what ails.
be, thanks for sharing that story. I often get energy of one sort of another pushing through out of my body and it’s easy to forgot to consider “skin” as a place where we can overtly feel those transmissions. I’m going to keep your story in mind now whenever I am feeling one of my myriad “picking-up-energy-transmissions” feelings and see if I can sit with those momentns differently ( and learn from them).
Thanks all!

yes, the physical incarnations (and for me, dream representations) of astrology are really getting my attention lately in recent months. to wit: last week the moon-uranus conjunction in the wee hours of the morning was also conjunct my venus. and i woke up realizing i’d had a dream about the lovely feeling of sitting out in the sun at the beach, loving the warmth and the air, only to eventually come into the shade to find my upper chest a deep dark red. i’ve never been burned like that in real life. i think my venus got a little toasted by all that uranus reflected by moon!
gary — i think i envy your moment of clarity, to see the opportunity to discern a new way of doing things. maybe i’ll pick my head up out of the computer in time to spot something similar for myself. 🙂
Gary and Amanda,
When I was a little girl my Aquarian momma would, from time to time, experience what she would call “my nerves coming through my skin” episodes. It was her nerves alright, and she would itch all over and we knew to leave her alone until she was ready for us. . .or pay a heavy price. I knew nothing of astrology at that time, but as I grew older I began to experience those bouts of allover itching myself, and when I finally had a pretty good grasp of astrology, I understood the energy and the message it delivered.
What I learned today from you is that “It is the nature of Mars to make distinctions between one thing and another. . . .” and this was an “aha” moment for me. I knew if I looked I would find some Uranus stuff happening in my chart today. I also knew my more intense periods always included Mars. I didn’t think about Mars making distinctions though. Yesterday I unpacked all my stored “winter”/cold weather clothing and sorted it into 3 distinct piles of (1) “early” winter or fall wear and (2) “coldest” winter wear, and (3) what I never wore at all. That last catagory was to be given to charity. Transiting Uranus is sextile my natal Mars.
However, this morning I was having a “nerves coming through my skin” episode. . full blown, so upon checking the ephemeris I saw that the Moon was conjunct my natal Uranus, transiting Mercury was sextile my natal Uranus, and last night transiting Mars trined my natal Mars as it went on to sextile transiting Uranus this morning. I tell you this not to bore you but to present an example. What initiated my checking the ephemeris, and subsequently turning on the computer to check Planet Waves, was that while I was working in the kitchen the television was on. It suddenly just went silent and the relief I felt was the equivalent of ceasing to bang my head against the wall. Also, now that I’ve written this down and prepare to submit, the itching has ceased. Neat huh? just had to share. Thanks for this teaching moment guys.

Thanks for the feedback everybody. Namaste
Wow, Zoey, thanks for sharing so much from the heart. I really like your 3 step model of the process of transformation. I use a similar one myself. Best of luck with kicking nicotene to the curb!
I started out thinking I would use this to fire up my new PC, but as soon as I got that done I got a bonus opportunity. A call from an impromptu local client is the perfect opportunity to try out a new system for reading charts which I have been kicking around in my head and my notebook for a month or so.
Big thanks to the Universe for sending Eric and Amanda to give me the opportunity work on this post so that I would be aware and seize this opportunity to put my new method into practice and not just complacently do the reading on auto-pilot
Aho Mitakuye Oyasin. We are all related!

This upcoming eclipse …..”with the South Node, or tail of the dragon, represent something being released” is not going to be what I thought it would be.
In the past, earth energy work aligned with the astrology coming in and utilized it to directly affect the seven chakra’s of the body. In preparing for the shift of consciousness, the first connection must be to know we are the planet and the planet is our body. The celestial events took on a pattern of three for that process…bring in the new, anchor and release the old. We had plenty of time to rock and roll along over a month in each phase. But not in today’s time cycle. We are Mayan cycling… every 18 days. The communication is from Mother Earth directly and she is saying “I know you and I know your story”
Every eclipse so far, has pushed through the entire 3 phase pattern, plus the solstice, which opened more doorways for me than the last year put together. (for example……it feels the time lord position has flipped wide open, the past is observable in it’s pristine intention, fully utilizable to preform the task it was meant to do. )
What this next eclipse is bringing to us is the deities of lunar origin. Originally created in the constellation of Lyra, they are coming through in their pure form of gifts from the Mother, through the Pleiades. Seven sister energy will blast through here powered by issues of anger, bitterness, jealousy etc over sexual distortions present in our lives but they will feel like the love of the original intention of creating the gifts. Those who follow a 12 step program can know this is a Step 9 time…the promises. It is 9th Dimensional identities of you….upgraded in the harmonics and color spectrum to a new Universe….
Observable in our lives here will be recall scenarios/stories of personal deities in past incarnations. Our pleasure principle in regards to Cancer themes of hearth and home were developed in the archtypes of this time. Hindu gods in particular, but I sure there will be more to show, ascended master types.
My last lover and I would zone into our past lives together during sex and the stories were better than any fantasy. Somebody or something took the pure enjoyment of sexuality and threw incest into the mix.We want to recall the love of the past and do a reality check. Nothing more than that is required because we know what felt good and what didn’t. Conflict over sexuality is so NOT confusion of what feels good….it’s the intermingling of relationship memory…For family’s to incarnate together, they came back fucking the father, mother or brother in next life.
So, to tell the truth, I quit smoking today and my ability to be pissed off over this is plenty amplified. I have a new FWB relationship going with no past life connection of intimacy. It’s a clean plate that frankly feels a void present though the sex is right up there on the top of the chart.
Today, I will repose to the shaman within, be the honey , the bee and the flower, the lamb, the lover and the earth. Love is all I want to feel today.
Blessings to PW,

This is brilliant! Makes crystal what was already becoming clear.
Perfect.
Thanks, Indrani
