Hello — it’s your old friend Eric. I’ve just wrapped up my audio coverage of UAC, which is right on this page. Amanda has been covering Daily Astrology for nearly a week — thank you.

As mentioned, we are halfway between the eclipses (there was a solar eclipse about a week ago), though the corresponding lunar eclipse on June 4 is followed by the transit of Venus on June 5 and then an occultation of Pluto by the Moon a few hours later. So we are not just between eclipses — we are approaching a cluster of eclipse-like events, one of them among the rarest predictable events in astronomy, the transit of Venus.

Said simply, this is an alchemical moment — when the forces of change are at work, though this is happening on a depth that isn’t really accessible to rational consciousness. In fact what’s developing can throw some curves to reason and sense and ordinary awareness, including emotional and psychological disturbances, stress and misunderstanding. As I mentioned in my audio update yesterday, Mercury and the Sun are close to a square with Chiron, which might exaggerate the sense of being hurt, and which can translate into the quest for healing.

This is all easier said than done, however, and it’s going to take some mindfulness to process both the energy and the experiences. The energy is going to ramp up by orders of magnitude through the lunar eclipse, which you can think of as a kind of opening. Through that opening will come the transit of Venus.
