That&#8217;s because the Sun is nearly halfway through its journey between conjoining the Taurus lunar south node and the Scorpio lunar north node. That&#8217;s another way of saying we are about halfway between eclipse cycles. If you think about your life over the last two or three months, understanding that single fact will go a long way towards achieving perspective.<\/p>\n<p>There is a formidable correspondence of events in the public sphere to parallel your own experience since the immediately previous cycle of three eclipses. It started on April 25, when the newly Taurus Sun, on its way to conjoining with the lunar south node, opposed a Scorpio Full Moon, precipitating a lunar eclipse.<\/p>\n<p>Saturn, in direct motion through Scorpio since July 7, is now precisely conjunct the degree of the April 25 lunar eclipse for the second time since it happened. That means you should now be able to discern with significant depth what has taken shape since then.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>To use just one example from the public sphere, Edward Snowden was still residing and employed in the United States at the end of April. By the time Luna came around to conjoin the Taurus Sun for a New Moon and solar eclipse on May 9 (or 10, depending on your time zone), his story was still a month from breaking. When the eclipse cycle ended with a Sagittarius lunar eclipse during the Full Moon of May 24 (or 25), Mr. Snowden, though an expatriate in Hong Kong, still had a valid passport and was free to travel most anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n<p>If you look at other public events, your own life, or where the two intersect, there have been similar developments in the same period of time. It could be that a barrier to formalizing your partnership has been removed, placing you among the married. Perhaps there are now additional barriers between you and your right to vote. It may just be that walking the street will never feel the same again.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever form it has taken for you, something has come out of nowhere since April and recently, even rapidly, changed the shape of your world. At least some of it has almost certainly made you conscious that you are not in the proverbial state of Kansas anymore. The crucial question is how conscious.<\/p>\n<p>Now, with the Sun about as far away from the last eclipse cycle as it is close to the next one (a more common cycle of two eclipses, lunar on October 18, and solar on November 3), you have nearly a month to evaluate and orient yourself to your new state, both internal and external.<\/p>\n<p>The first requisite is to consciously recognize how your &#8220;now&#8221; has taken a different shape from a &#8220;then&#8221; only months past. For some of you, the answer will be obvious. For others it may be as subliminal as it is undeniable. If everything looks the same, go a little deeper and give yourself permission to be aware of what does not feel the same.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, the Sun is affording you time to sort things out. You would know yourself, your life, and your world better were you not to squander the opportunity. Whether your part is to explore dark places or itemize that which is plainly illuminated, the objective is the same.<\/p>\n<p>Your objective during solar Leo is to catch yourself after days of one thing after another and be here now. From the perspective of what &#8220;now&#8221; means as opposed to your &#8220;then&#8221; just past, you will be able to either discover coherency in what, by previous standards, appears incoherent or begin making decisions based on the new parameters of your life.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately either path will allow you enter the wormhole of the next eclipse cycle as a more whole and present being than you would otherwise be. That will make all the difference in the world when, not too long from now, you wake up to find that the meaning of the word &#8220;then&#8221; has suddenly changed to take on a future tense.<\/p>\n<p><em>Offered In Service <\/em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Len is available for astrology readings.
