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<\/strong><\/a> [note, this link takes you to premium content].<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s eclipse occurred in the 7th house of the Thema Mundi<\/strong><\/a> [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.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You know how this happens, right? Someone gets used to you being someone, with certain tendencies and needs, and that’s the person you become to them. In order to grow into someone else, you need to let go of that person so you can be who you are now. Note that this can keep us trapped in personality shells for years — and the most durable one is the one that our parents set us up with.<\/p>\n

Eclipses help shift continuity, including continuity of what we think of as a ‘self’. Here’s how this looks: Cancer is the sign on the 1st house of the Thema Mundi, so it’s the concept of self. Then that self concept experienced an eclipse in the 7th house of relationships conjunct Pluto — mandatory growth, the awareness of soul, necessary loss, transition and transformation — in the 7th house — of relationships — representing Cancer, the 1st house — self.<\/p>\n

Do you follow me? When you think of Capricorn think of the past, of patterns, of tradition; think of obligation, think of rules and borders, consider the influence of guilt when we break the supposed rules. And Pluto is there ready to transform the whole business into something meaningful and authentic and useful.<\/p>\n

The next eclipse is an eclipse of the Sun in Cancer. On the theme of relationships, this is conjunct Juno, an asteroid that’s all about those expectations, patterns and predispositions in relationship — and our expectations of what a relationship partner is supposed to be about. The theme picks right up, and we are now living from eclipse to eclipse for the next 14 days. This is the expanded, concentrated moment where you get to make those changes, when you get to pick some patterns you don’t like and let go of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
