Flip Side — Libra Lunar Eclipse

Think of this morning’s Libra Full Moon and total lunar eclipse as the flip side of Oct. 18 last year, and you will have a good start on understanding your astrology for the next two weeks. That’s because the Aries Sun and Libra Moon were today opposed from the same degrees of the same signs as they were on Oct. 18, 2013; except for having flipped sides of the zodiac.

About six months ago, it was the Sun at 25+ Libra, opposed by the eclipsed Moon at 25+ Aries. Today it was the other way around. Such a pairing of consecutive lunar eclipses does not happen very often.

The last time such a flip occurred so precisely was along the same sign axis.

The Oct. 8, 1995, lunar eclipse (which had the Moon at 14+ Aries and the Sun at 14+ Libra) was followed by an April 3, 1996, lunar eclipse at 14+ Libra opposed b the Sun at 14+ Aries.

That was was almost exactly 18 years ago, which corresponds closely to the amount of time it takes for the lunar nodes (where Sun and Moon meet or oppose to make eclipses) to make a complete circuit of the 12 signs.

Hence, you have some rational correlations as an alternative to irrational anxiety to work with. As you enter a two-week wormhole of big astrology, which will conclude with a Taurus solar eclipse on April 29, any grounds for being reasonable as opposed to fearful will serve you well.
