Think of the Scorpio solar eclipse at 7:50 am EST Sunday as a tropical air, train, ferry or bus terminal, and you will have it aced. First, it will be more than one thing, with many things happening at once. Also, it’s not where anybody resides, but it is where hot weather is rightfully monitored. It’s to be a place of arrivals, departures, connections, loss and findings, where time itself often changes. Most of all, Sunday’s solar eclipse will not be an end so much as a transition.<\/p>\n

The most obvious transition for many will be the change from Daylight Savings to Standard time just hours before the hybrid (part total, part not) solar eclipse. The annual “fall back” feels like a loss for many, which fits.<\/p>\n

One of the correlations that gives eclipses an undeservedly bad name is their association with loss. It does not have to be a bad thing. You can actually participate with an intent to lose what you are better off without, such as bad habits. Another way to go with the flow is to practice releasing attachment to things lost which truly feel like a loss. Such a practice will help you set healthy and useful pattern.<\/p>\n

All eclipses correspond with pattern setting, but this one has it in spades. That’s because Scorpio, the location of Sunday’s solar eclipse, is a fixed sign (as are Aquarius, Taurus and Leo). It also has to do with Saturn’s proximity to the New Moon conjunction of the luminaries (Sun and Moon) and lunar North Node that will constitute the eclipse.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Saturn, among its other attributes, expresses as the proverbial setting of patterns in stone. Scorpio (where Saturn has been sailing since Oct. 5, 2012) is where the Sun symbolically fixes in place the season initiated with the Libra equinox. That is how all the participants of the Scorpio solar eclipse combine to indicate that you should prioritize being aware of what you are doing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You should be aware so that any patterns in your perceptions, behavior, practice and intent are undertaken consciously and carefully. Make sure you know what you are doing, and where you want to go, because you will have to live with the consequences. The patterns you are setting now really are like making an air, train, ferry or bus connection. If you board the wrong conveyance this weekend, it will be a long time gone, a long road traveled, and a lot of trouble before you are able to correct your course.<\/p>\n

Retrograde Mercury will be precisely conjunct the lunar North Node and closely enough conjoined with the Sun, Moon and even Saturn during this eclipse. How you think and communicate is therefore due some considerable diligence. When in doubt, simply note events in detail for later reference. Honor your feelings for sure, but more along the lines of observing them than acting on them in the midst of all the other astrological hubbub.<\/p>\n

For if there is any correspondence between Mercury’s Scorpio retrograde and the metaphor of our impending solar eclipse as a transportation terminal, it would be a correlation with the hubbub often encountered in such a place, and the importance of both focus and restraint under such circumstances.\u00a0For that reason alone, the next several days will be no time to draw hasty conclusions or make summary judgements lest you lead yourself and others energetically astray.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on how you handle it, a lot of energy will be associated with this impending solar eclipse as indicated by Mars. You might say it will be the weather inside you. With a precise sextile from the conjoined Sun and Moon to its Virgo transit, Mars will offer its vitality to either support your transition out of an eclipse cycle or make it a bumpy ride. At the terminal end of an eventful journey that started with the Aries lunar eclipse of Oct. 18, you will be able to use the energy, so long as it is not using you.<\/p>\n

That’s how you should monitor your internal weather going into and through the weekend. In spite of what the legendary Al Sleet may think, it’s an important factor. Even though you will just be passing through the terminal as the Moon’s shadow falls across the Earth from one side of the Atlantic to the other, the quality and outcome of your arrival will largely depend on how you handle the heat that goes with it.<\/p>\n
